Sensō-ji (2)
The landscaping in Sensō-ji (金龍山浅草寺) in Tokyo is exquisite.
And the famous five-story pagoda is incredible.

Little Socks
Socks is about to turn 14, and still loves his walks. He's more independent than Laika, but still loves to hang out with his family. With his thick fur, he's usually on top of a blanket rather than under one.

Snow
We got hit by that "bomb cyclone" last week. It basically formed over Colorado, and wind gusts as high as 97 mph (156 kph) were measured at our local airport (the equivalent of a category 2 hurricane). On top of that we got a foot (30.5 cm) of snow with huge drifts. 1,110 cars got stranded on area roads, which were basically impassable for a day. Luckily I was able to work from home! This was my sidewalk after using the snowblower.

Sensō-ji (1)
According to Wikipedia, Sensō-ji (金龍山浅草寺) is the world's most visited religious site.
Over 30 million people visit this Buddhist temple each year.
The first temple here was founded in 645 AD.
It was destroyed in World War II, but rebuilt.
The Thunder Gate is at the entrance to the temple.
The lantern is very famous.
This is one of Tokyo's most impressive sights, and no visit to Tokyo is complete without seeing it.

Little Laika
Laika is so attached - she always wants to be next to me. She's a rescue and I think she's happy to have a home where she's safe. If I'm sitting down, she'll be on my lap, preferably under a blanket.
