Happy Birthday DASEIN!

Today, Feb. 19th, is Dasein's 7th birthday. (It is a well-known secret that Dasein is actually an invader from outer space, so her true age -- her space age -- is vast beyond reckoning, at least couple million light years.)

Dasein, mostly, disapproves

Dasein puts Shanti in her place. 

Dasein's opinion about the art of photography.

Zen Mondo Shanti

I'm reposting a photo cartoon I originally posted on Tumbler. (Buhi-Nyan Anarchy on Tumbler is a picture collection of flat-faced dogs, and some cats. Most of the pictures are not original but stuff I found on the web.)

I made this cartoon several years ago. The pictures were taken at my old apartment in Brooklyn.

So Much for Shanti's Philosophizing. Empty Stomach=Empty Mind. And their stomachs are always empty, or so they tell me. 

Rocker Socrates

This post is for my friend Lastrami. Here's a photo from Halloween couple of years ago. (Actually it was 2009! How time flies!) Socrates went to an all pug Halloween costume contest. He went as Mick Pugger of the Rolling Bones. The first photo was taken by a professional photographer who was there.

Socrates actually managed to win the "FUNNIEST" prize!  But he was indignant since he thought he should have won the "COOLEST" prize!

Captain Wu-Wei  is a very sensitive type.

One day, as usual, Shingen & Asha was out on a date.

Someone was watching 

Captain, don't be sad. Asha just doesn't go for fluffy guys. It's not your fault that you're so fluffy.

 Dasein is happy that she's not fluffy

Socrates isn't fluffy, but he sheds (Because he's a pug.)

Kamu is worried that she may be semi-fluffy

 This is what Shanti thinks of fluffiness

 Promise thinks fluffiness is just fine

House Hunting

This has nothing to do with the theme of this blog, which is all about the buhi-nyans, but I just agreed to sell the condo I live in.  Well, it is not completely unrelated since my animal kids will also be greatly affected by the move. My condo has been on the market since last November, and I having animal childrend did not make the process easy.

Living Room. The cases contain my mother's doll collection. 

The Smaller Bedroom, now arranged as a study.

The condo is a duplex, and the upstairs (ground floor) is the main living area. Last October I had the floor redone, and the walls repainted upstairs. And ever since, the children have been banned from the upstairs, and we have all been living downstairs on the basement/garden level. So it's been quite cramp. That's also the reason all my recent pictures haven't had much variety.

But someone has finally come along who wanted my apartment, and now it's my turn to look for a new place to live. I have an arrangement to stay here for 2 month after the closing, but I must act very quickly once we close. Unfortunately, I don't have adequate fund to make a down payment, so everything must be done quickly in that 2 month that I have after I close.

Well, there are still lots of hurdle. Finding a new place is sort of exciting, but there are lots of uncertainties too. I hope I can move to a place that will be a good home for my animal kids.

Now changing the subject entirely...., here's some of the recent pictures that didn't make it onto the 365 Project:

Shingen & Asha.These two are ever the pair.They are like bookends on the windowsill. 

Shingen: A rather spotted character!

Dasein, she always have a scheme. 

Socrates: A Philosopher or a Fool? Or maybe, Foolish Philosoper/ Philosophical Fool?

Captain Wu-Wei. The nominal leader of the Righteous Cats Brigade. We must keep the universe safe from Dasein's evil
paws!

Relatively decent picture of Promise -- he who is difficult to photograph.

About This Blog

Socrates, Shanti, and Dasein, aka badass trio, on Jan. 1, 2012.

This is my first blog, (well, the first blog in English), and I don't quite know what I'm doing. It would be mostly about my life with my cats & dogs. "Buhi" in the title refers to the Japanese nickname for flat-faced dogs, especially French Bulldogs. Actually its a onomatapoeia word based on the snorting, piggy noise that these dogs make. The "Nyan" part is also an onomatopoeia, "nyan" is the Japanese equivalent of "meow."

I don't really expect anyone to read this -- although  the reader is always posited. Of course it would be nice if the blog gets me rich and famous.. Buwahahahaha. But the odds, I believe is negligible. Any way, I just wanted somewhere to keep a record of my animal kids, and also a place to jot down some of my musings, hopefully amusing, but most likely not.
