He Nailed His Big Role — Ring Dog in Osaka
Categories: Dogs > On the Job > Wedding Sitter
The one who splendidly took on the grand role of ring dog is Sabo-kun, a Bichon Poodle.🐶
For this special day, his signature fluffy hair was styled to perfection.✨
And his tuxedo look is dashing, too.👍

While waiting, lonely and anxious, he couldn't settle down inside his pen.😣

We tried going for a walk, but it was so windy outside that his lovely fluffy styling got all messed up~💦
So Sabo-kun headed back inside rather quickly.😅

In the end, being held seemed to be what comforted and calmed Sabo-kun the most.🥰
He waited so patiently, held in my arms right up until his moment.💕
The staff showered him with praise, too — "So cute~!" "What a good boy!"✌️

And now, the moment had finally arrived!
Would he deliver the ring safely? My heart was pounding, too.💓

A lovely chapel with Osaka Castle in full view straight ahead.⛪️
The doors opened… and with a "You can do it!" I sent Sabo-kun on his way.🤗
I'd hoped he'd go straight to the bride and groom, but contrary to my wishes, he made his way to them while greeting all the guests with plenty of charm along the way.😄

(Photo taken during rehearsal.)
Thanks to Sabo-kun, the tension in the venue melted away all at once, and smiles overflowed.🥰
In that space full of happiness, Sabo-kun splendidly carried out his grand role.👏

The bride and groom looked just like models.✨
Such a truly wonderful couple.💖
And with Sabo-kun joining them, the aura of happiness rose even higher.✨
I was given a share of that happiness.☺️

Having finished his big role, Sabo-kun seemed just a little tired.🥱
Petted in my arms, he drifted off into dreamland.💤

Sabo-kun, you truly did such a wonderful job.☺️
You looked so handsome out there.💕
Well done on your grand role.🍀

Cool and Collected, Even in the Heat — Naniwa-ku, Osaka

This time's care was for six days while Mama returned home to the U.S.
The cat's name is Sally-chan.💕
They'd only just moved into this place, and the room was still full of moving boxes.
In the midst of all that, would the cat I'd come to care for show herself, I wondered?🤔

Just as I thought!!
Here she is — under the bed.😣
Day one with a shy kitty — the usual routine~😅

Even so, when I prepared her meal, she came right out and ate it up.😉

Plump and fluffy, just the way I love, and those little sock-like paws are just too cute.😍

The second day of care.
An accident struck!!
Both air conditioners had switched off.😱
S-so hot~!💦
"Sally-chan! Are you okay!?" — I panicked with worry, but there she was, sitting primly in front of the bed.😮
I quickly turned the air conditioner back on and got the fan going.

"No need to panic!" said Sally-chan.
"Yes, ma'am."😅
After that, Sally-chan seemed to open her heart to me, and we became good friends.❣️


She began coming close to my side, and pets were now allowed!😆




By the final day, she was nuzzling up in full bloom.💕
You did such a great job holding down the fort in your new home!🤩
Sweet, well-behaved Sally-chan.💖
Until we meet again.🥰

Everyone Held Down the Fort Together — Nishinomiya, Hyogo
Categories: Rabbits > On the Job > Cats
It's been a while — here are Taro-kun, Ryo-kun, and Moka-kun!

To my delight, they remembered me.💕
Even Ryo-kun, who used to be a little timid, came right to my side without any wariness.🥰

Friendly Taro-kun would nuzzle up against me, chirping a little "meow~."😍

And Moka-kun — whether or not he was saying "Long time no see~!" — came right up to his cage door to greet me.☺️

Their beloved treat time.🍪
Taro-kun and Ryo-kun squabble now and then, but apparently there's a rule: no getting along, no treats (ha!).
So Taro-kun and Ryo-kun put on an earnest show of being the best of friends.💕
The sight of the two of them was just too adorable~😍

Moka-kun seems to know it's treat time, too — without leaving his cage, he'd stretch his neck out with all his might to bring his face closer.☺️
Nose twitching away, begging with a "gimme!" look.🩷
Moka-kun was just too adorable, too~😍

These three adorable siblings always leave me utterly smitten.🥰

This time, the stay was suddenly extended beyond the planned number of days, but everyone was such a good sport, holding down the fort so well.✨
I'm looking forward to the day we meet again.☺️

Today, some adorable cats.
Duffy-kun and ShellieMay-chan, both Ragdolls.🥰
モフモフがたまらない!
First, Duffy-kun.
A little shy, but a little curious, too…
He watched me with such an adorable gaze like this.😅

But he struck a pose like this for me, too.😄

Next up, ShellieMay-chan.
Friendly and often chatting away in the sweetest voice, she stayed right by my side especially while I prepared meals.😄

ShellieMay-chan, relaxing too.😌

Please enjoy this adorable shot of the two of them together!!

True to their names, they really are cats who seem to have leapt right out of a world of dreams.🥰
Never a squabble between them — Duffy-kun and ShellieMay-chan get along so well.😊
Thank you for such a wonderful time.☺️
Until we meet again!

Nice to Meet You, Tono-chan! — Ota-ku, Tokyo
Categories: Dogs > On the Job

Going purely by the sound of her name, I jumped to "Tono" as in "my lord,"
and ended up asking, "Is it a boy?" — my apologies!
She's Tono-chan, written in hiragana — and she's a girl.♡

Tono-chan had been friendly right from our meeting, happy to let me touch her, but
on the first day of care — huh? She seemed a bit distant⁈
First up, a walk.
This isn't a kidnapping, is it?
She wouldn't leave the apartment grounds — feeling a little wary, perhaps?

All right then, let's run around the parking lot on the grounds instead!!

Running together, we closed the distance between us,
and after I gave her her meal, she even let me brush her teeth.♡

From the second day, we could walk far and wide, too.


I'm so glad we became friends.
Let's do this again soon, okay?
