The home I visited this time is a family of reptiles!🦎🏡🪴 

First up, Tarako-chan the green iguana. 

Tarako-chan used to thrash about in her cage, crying "Let me out~!" — so much so that she'd even tear her claws. Seeing this, her owner did something wonderful: they set aside a whole spacious studio room just for her!🏡✨ 

Her favorite thing is gazing out at the world through the big window.♬ 

During my visit, even when the neighbor was hanging laundry out on the balcony, the two of them seemed entirely used to each other. 

"They must have been so surprised the very first time they saw her…" — imagining that, I couldn't help but chuckle to myself.🤭 

Next comes Wasabi-chan, a red-sided spiny-tailed iguana. 

Wonderfully quick on her feet, with an absolute love of pumpkin! 

But since it's high in calories, it's limited to one piece a day, to keep her healthy and trim. 

When I misted her with water, she narrowed her eyes in blissful, relaxed contentment.🛁✨ 

Next is Yomogi-chan, a veiled chameleon. 

Still just a one-year-old baby chameleon. 

Her vivid green body is so beautiful, and the sight of her stretching out that long, long tongue to eat is cuteness itself. 

Normally she drinks water one drop at a time from a dropper… but this proved rather tricky for me💦 

So Yomogi-chan gripped the dropper tightly, as if to say, "My mouth is over here!"😁 

So clever it made me smile — such a delightful little moment.✨ 

Last is Chaba-chan, a Merauke blue-tongued skink. 

At first, her favorite spot was under the blanket, and just as I thought, "Maybe I won't get to see her at all this time?"… 

Ta-daa!!✨ 

She popped out to show herself! 

Beneath that cool, striking look is the most endearing little face.

Perfectly still, she greeted me with a long, steady bit of eye contact — and I couldn't help but grin right back.💕 

This time, let me share a few photos of the reptiles who weren't part of my care! So exciting! 

It seems their family is only going to grow from here — truly, the makings of a "Reptile Kingdom"!🦎🎉✨ 

Soothed by all these wonderfully unique little ones, I had a delightful week of care. 

See you again soon~👋

The ones I came to care for this time were… 

From the groom's family: 

Kotaro-kun, a seven-year-old Shiba Inu. 

From the bride's family: 

A Miniature Dachshund, 

Rin-kun, twelve years old. 

After the photo wedding was over, 

while everyone enjoyed their celebratory meal, 

I looked after Kotaro-kun and Rin-kun 

in the waiting room.🍀 

It was rather hot and humid, but 

with a little milk to drink

and some treats to nibble,

they relaxed and passed the time in comfort.🎵 

Kotaro-kun, Rin-kun — 

well done on playing such an important role today❗

This time, my little companion for some home-alone time was the soft and fluffy caocao-chan. 

On the first day of care, she was quite wary — "Who's this?" "Is it okay to come closer?" 

But once we started playing with her toys, she came cuddling up with sweet little "meow~ meow~"s. She was just adorable. 

On the second day, she welcomed me at the door with a "I've been waiting for you, meow~!" 

We played so much together. caocao-chan, let's play again soon.♥️

Shun-kun and Milky-chan, an eighteen-year-old brother and sister. 

As my visits grew more frequent, they began greeting me with a "meow," letting me know they were hungry. 

With hearty appetites, the two of them are full of life! 

They even let me brush them. 

Milky-chan, who comes close for a little chat. 

And Shun-kun, wonderfully easygoing and sweet. 

Over three days of care, the two of them grew ever so close to me.💕 

I'm already looking forward to seeing these two lovely ones again.

My first visit of the morning was to a brown tabby and white cat. 

This is Mugi-kun. 

"Good morning!" 

"Breakfast time, meow~!" he greeted me, trotting over with a sprightly little step. 

But then — uh-oh, what's this?! 

Near the door of the room… he'd had a little accident💦 

A classic "home-alone" moment! 

"Teehee😜" 

"So sorry, meow~." 

"Kindly see to my breakfast before you tidy up the litter, if you please!" 

"Oh no you don't! Litter comes first in the care routine — and besides, you were the one who made the mess!" 

Aw, he looked so crestfallen… 

I tidied up quickly and got his breakfast ready☺️ 

"Breakfast is served~! Here you go!" 

He came dashing over to his food, and at last, the long-awaited munching time!💕 

"That was delicious! Thank you for the meal!" 

But the truth is, Mugi-kun was still a little peckish💧 

You see, Mugi-kun is a touch on the plump side and tends to eat too fast, so his mom came up with a clever idea — putting half of his food into a plastic bottle with holes in it, so he can eat slowly while he plays. 

Just as his mom intended, Mugi-kun rolled the bottle along as he ate. 

Wonderful!✨✨ 

Sweet, affectionate little Mugi-kun🥰 

Until we meet again!🤗💕

This time, I had the honor of caring for 

Manpuku-kun, a Basset Hound. 

"Manpuku" — boundless fortune! 

What an auspicious name — it seems to promise blessings all its own.😊 

I can see exactly why his family named him Manpuku. 

That gentle, easygoing presence 

carries an almost divine radiance.✨✨✨ 

Manpuku-kun — or rather, His Lordship Manpuku — is a most friendly personage. 

With an upward glance, he requests a tummy rub. 

Divine, and yet so utterly adorable! 

And I, his humble servant, could never dream 

of refusing such a request. 

His Lordship Manpuku, relaxing at his leisure.💕 

His Lordship, with a face rather like a sleek new bullet train.🚄 

His Lordship Manpuku, who bewitches this sitter with an air of true nobility. 

Thank you for such a rich and wonderful time.😊
