Morning Walks of April
Morning walks are among my favorite walks of the day. It is probably a morning ritual for most dogs, but for many of them it seems to be exactly that…a ritual. Every day, they walk the same path, smell the same grass, bark at the same dogs, mark the same trees and then go home. …
A Morning Walk “Incident” Report
While most of my morning walks are relatively uneventful, every now and then there is a happening! This morning was one of those days. We usually leave home around 6 because Dad likes to avoid some of the more unsavory characters in our neighborhood. But today, we left at around 6:30. With every minute past …
Elizabeth Collars are not my preferred form of fashion. エリザベスカラーはもうごめんだ。。。
As a rough and tumble dog, I have had my share of minor injuries. A few twisted joints, sore paws, and of course, the time my nose was bitten by a very unfriendly snake. In February of 2022 though, I had my first injury of the year and the worst injury I have ever had. …

Happy New Year 2022!
Welcome to 2022. This year, according to the Chinese calendar, it is the year of the Tiger. Some friends in actual China have said that my pronouncement is a bit premature as the official Chinese New Year won’t actually occur until February 1, 2022, but I live in Japan, and here, we like to kick …
I love this time of year! 稲刈りの後の田んぼ大好き、最高！
Rice is a big part of my life. Not the food, but the plant. In my daily walks I have spent thousands of hours walking in and around rice paddies. Rice grows in these big wet fields. Around April, farmers start tilling the soil and letting the water in to really soak the ground. To …
A day at the park
It’s no secret. I like to play. This is in one of my local parks.
