Working Dogs

Well I've got a few days off, so we're heading out for some fishing/camping and maybe some surf. Since the Nikon is still out of commission there will be no pictures, but I will take the video camera. Should give me something new to post.

Well here's a video that was posted by a friend on www.nihonken.org which I enjoyed. Some great footage of working livestock guardian dogs (LGD's) here, so I'm posting the link.

I tried to dig up some pics of Haru I hadn't posted before, and found one of the wife wrapped up with Haru on the couch.

Chiba prefecture is located on the Boso peninsula, south east of Tokyo. Home to 'Tokyo' Disney Land and Japan's main international airport, Narita, Chiba is overshadowed by its monstrous neighbor, Tokyo.

Look closely though and you will find a prefecture filled with amazing variety. Swinging south around Tokyo Bay you'll see everything from Disney Land, to Makuhari's perfectly aligned skyscraper-filled grid, to the beautiful beaches and crystal clear ocean of Tateyama at the tip of the peninsula.

Less than an hour commute from Tokyo to the northwest, an hour away from great surf to the east, and an hour south to mountains filled with wildlife, it's all here in Chiba where I've lived for the past 10 years.
