Komugi-kun, with a coat of beautifully toasted wheat gold🌾

He's a little on the timid side, so being taken out by this sitter left him looking rather troubled.

Even a lovely treat had to be offered from a distance…🧐

And even once he'd taken it, he was so wary he wouldn't eat it for the longest time.

As he grew used to our walks, I could see him smile, his face full of expression!✨️

He even had room to glance back at me, as if to say, "This is fun, isn't it?"

And after our walk, he began closing the distance between us — before I knew it, he was eating his treats, and even hopping onto my lap!

And yet the next day, there he'd be again, all aloof and hiding under the table (ha!).

"Why, oh why?🥺" I'd wonder — and then set off on another walk to win back that closeness from the very beginning.

Three steps forward, two steps back, over and over,

and little by little, we became friends✨️

I wonder if he'll remember me the next time we meet?

Let's grow closer at your own pace, Komugi-kun🐶
