Making Friends on Our First Visit — Yodogawa-ku, Osaka

Tsumu is a Pomeranian–Chihuahua mix who is not yet a year old🐶

I tend to think of Pomeranians and Chihuahuas as rather cautious around strangers, so before our introductory meeting, I wondered if Tsumu might be the same🙃

At that first meeting, Tsumu was a little shy🔥 Curious enough to want to come closer, but a little too nervous to take that step💫

Partway through the meeting, though, Tsumu came over and began sniffing me. It seemed I had passed the “this person seems safe” test👏👏

Some time had passed before my first care visit, so I wondered whether Tsumu would remember me. I need not have worried🤗

When I entered the room, Tsumu greeted me without a hint of wariness, tail wagging and whole body brimming with excitement😆🎵

When I crouched down, Tsumu came close for affection. The way those little ears folded back and Tsumu relaxed as I stroked that fluffy coat was so endearing—I could not resist giving lots of pets🤭❣️ Tsumu also did “sit,” “paw” and “other paw” perfectly👍
