Bambi YouTube video #2 is up 💓💓

Hello everyone. My 2nd Bambi Youtube video is up.  Check it out when you have time.  It is about VLOG (ish) Bambi's weekend playdate with friend Ellie.  

 


Bambi and Ellie's Playdate : VOL 1 ばんびとエリーのプレイデイト VOL 1

 

Well, this time it took hours and hours for a little over 6 minutes of video.  I wonder how long it will take for people who are posting long videos to edit them.  But it's fun to start something new.  I think this is the best time to start and challenge with something new.  My work (pet sitter) is super slow now due to COVID,  Thank you for your support. _(_^_)_

Made my first Bambi YouTube video ☆

Good morning everyone. I doodle and post my pictures on my blog, but this time I made my first YouTube video. I'm going to post a little bit of the daily life of my baby girl Bambi (Chihuahua) and other furry friends from my work (I am a petsitter).  


Life of tiny senior chihuahua Bambi : VOL1  シニア犬ばんび(ちわわん)との暮らし VOL1

This is about a 2 minute video.  However, it took me forever to make it.  It was lots of fun though.  The first video is far from "high quality" one but that means a lot of room to grow... (́ 艸')

Please visit my channel!  Thank you for your support. _(_^_)_

Year End Deep Cleaning

2020 is almost coming to an end.  This year, I spent a lot of time at home, so I would like to thank the house more than usual.  In Japan, there is a custom of year-end deep cleaning.  We clean all the dirt for that year.  By doing so, not only cleaning the house but also exorcism of misfortune and impurity for that year.  Then, welcome to new year pleasantly.  And of course, I would like to thank the house for keeping us safe and comfortable all year long.  We really needed that this year more than ever!

Year End Deep Cleaning

It takes the most time decluttering things before cleaning.  This year, I let go of a lot of things after watching "KonMari method" on NetFlix, but before I knew it, things accumulated again.  Once I throw away unnecessary stuff, then cleaning can be done so easily.  But as the first step (decluttering) is hard...why did I buy this? ... this is what I got from someone special... but I don't care for it (not my taste or no use etc.).  I did this (review my stuff, get rid of things I no longer care for, then clean and organize) one part at a time.  Therefore, it takes time.  Today is already 29th... not sure I can finish this within this year.  I know it's not how it should be but I will manage whatever I can this year and continue until all done next year.  In 2021, I want to live cleanly without accumulating things as much as possible!

Christmas and Grinch

This year, many people decorate their Christmas trees early, perhaps because everybody is spending a long time at home under the stay home order.  Did you decorate your Christmas tree this year?  I really admire a big real Christmas tree, but my place is very small, so there is no space to decorate a big tree.  But I wanted to feel the atmosphere of Christmas and I found the perfect Christmas tree for this year.  My Christmas Tree name is Grump Tree.  What a  perfect tree for 2020!  It was like 2020 was stolen by Grinch, let alone Christmas.

Grump Tree

This tree is a Goldcrest, and it will return to its upright form in few weeks after removing the ornament and ribbon.  It's tag indicates that this is a lemon scented tree, but my Grump Tree is not fragrant.  What a grump!  But I liked this tree quite a bit.  (I found this tree at Trader Joe's.  When I went back to buy another one for my friend, they are all sold out.)

Grinch and Bambi

Netflix also had "How the Grinch stole Christmas", so I watched again.  It's not the newer Grinch movie, but the 2000 version.  Jim Carrey is so funny!   I had been so busy with work every holiday...so it's nice to watch a Christmas movie and enjoy some time with my baby Bambi for a change.  But, Bambi won't be the good side-kick like Max because she is the grumpy one!

Kabocha power

My Bambi (chihuahua) is already 12 years old now.  As she's going into a senior life, it seemed to be very painful to poop these days.  Especially because she has weak back legs, when she tries and tries, she gets so wobbly.  Then, she ends up not going after all her tries.  That happened too often, I started to steam up (kabocha) pumpkin and mixed with her food every time.

mission accomplished!

Wow, the Kabocha pumpkin power!!!  It worked insanely.  The next day I gave her pumpkins, Bambi pooped six times.  After that, I steam pumpkin (sometimes sweet potato) for her every day. She is only 3.9lb tiny girl so she only eats very small portion.  So Bambi papa also eats some left over steam pumpkin or sweet potatos.  Thanks to Bambi, the whole family is constipation free!  Yay!!!  If your senior dog is constipated, try it.  Bambi loves it and she is a very happy pooper now.

Pizza Friday

I have been a member of Netflix for about 10 years now, but it's been only three months as an Amazon Prime member.  At first, I wanted to save shipping and it was a free trial, so I became a member to try it.  But I am fully addicted and I got to continue like Netflix.  The difference from Netflix are Amazon's shopping benefits.  The big plus is The Whole Foods, an upscale grocery store, having items that can be bought at a great price only for Prime members.  (I live in San Francisco.)  The best deal of all is, I think, the large cheese pizza on Friday!  Only on Fridays, a large cheese pizza (usually about $15) is $6.  So, most Fridays are a cheese pizza day at our home.

Pizza Friday

The Whole Foods cheese pizza is delicious to my taste because the dough is thin.  I'm not a fan of pepperoni and meat-based pizza, so I always choose vegetable toppings, but I love cheese.  Large pizza is a kind of big for two people (me and Bambi's dad) but they are good for next day breakfast or lunch and you can eat it like cheese bread.  I know time are tough for everyone.  Pizza Friday...it's a perfect cheap and delicious food idea!
