Three-Month-Old Mugi, Sparkling with New Life — Asahi-ku, Yokohama

Categories:  >

Mugi, a Pomeranian–Dachshund mix, is a tiny puppy through and through—small enough to fit snugly in my cupped hands.

And no wonder—Mugi was born just three months ago!

Whenever I arrive for a visit and open the crate door, out bursts all that boundless puppy energy.

Mugi rushes toward everything in sight and within reach, exploring it all with gentle nibbles. It feels as though each new discovery is another little connection to the world.

That tiny body is clearly brimming with curiosity and the sparkling energy of a brand-new life. So dazzling and adorable was this little life, only just beginning, that for a moment I almost felt faint! 💦

Mugi was constantly on the move at first, but around day five of my seven days of visits, a calmer side began to emerge.

Mugi even began sitting sweetly in one spot, seeming to gaze thoughtfully into the air.

I was so moved. I wanted to say, “Thank you!” In just a few days, Mugi was already growing and changing before my eyes.

Keep growing up happy and healthy, little Mugi, surrounded by all your family’s love. 💕

A Fluffy Game of Othello ●○ — Suginami-ku, Tokyo

Categories:  >

Hello! 🧡 Let me introduce two very different little characters.
This is Gomugi, a ten-year-old Maltese–Poodle mix. 🐶

 

マルプーのごむぎくん

 

He loves playing with toys! 🧸 He dashes around the house, full of energy.

“Throw it for me! ❣️ Let’s play tug! ❣️” He keeps bringing me one toy after another, inviting me to play. ♪

Then there is his complete opposite: Oimo, a ten-year-old Chihuahua–Poodle mix and a real cuddlebug. 🐶

 

チワプーのおいもくん

 

He claims my lap for himself, and whenever I stop stroking him, he gives me a little tap with his paw. 🐾 “More, please!” 💕

After a while, Gomugi, who had been running around playing, started to look interested…

“I’d like a turn on the sitter’s lap, too!”
“Shall we talk it over?”
“Let’s!”

Once their little discussion was over, they took turns sitting on my lap, just like flipping the black and white pieces in a game of Othello. ⚪️⚫️

What a blissful time! 🥰 They were so adorable, I could hardly bear to leave. 😭

My dear Gomugi and Oimo, I hope you both stay happy, healthy, and the best of friends! 😘

My Beautiful Big Sisters and Me — Ota-ku, Tokyo

Categories:  > >

Oru-kun is an adorable ten-month-old Chihuahua boy. 
While I cleaned the potty area in his pen, he circled round and round me, hoping I'd play. 
So friendly, and so incredibly cute.♡ 
 

 

 
Oru-kun loves his walks! 
He looks like he's having the best time.🎵 
He trots along the whole way, but when he hears children's voices, he stops 
and gazes at them, completely captivated. 
 

 

His next-oldest sister is Tiara-chan, a one-year-old Ragdoll. 
When I unlock the front door, she's right there waiting. 
Is she welcoming me? Or standing guard against an intruder? 
 

 
Tiara-chan seems very curious about me. 
She always keeps a little distance, on watch. 
She's a girl, but Tiara-chan is ever so cool. 
 

 

The eldest, four-year-old Ragdoll Sophia-chan, 
is a little on the shy side. 
But when I put out the food, it's Sophia-chan who arrives first. 
After a few bites, she lounges in the living room. 
 

 

Aren't they both elegant and gorgeous?✴︎ 
 

 

   

They love to play, too! 
 

 

 

Oru-kun, Tiara-chan, Sophia-chan, 
let's go for walks and play with lots of toys again soon!

He Nailed His Big Role — Ring Dog in Osaka

Categories:  > >

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.🍀

Nice to Meet You, Tono-chan! — Ota-ku, Tokyo

Categories:  >


 
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?

Clearing a Little Hurdle, Together — Saiwai-ku, Kawasaki

Categories:  >

A rainy night.☔ 
"She isn't very fond of her raincoat." 
So I'd been told, as I headed to Nanako-chan's home. 
 
Even so, she put her raincoat on just fine 
and braved her not-so-favorite rainy walk! 
 
What a genius~✨ 
 
And here she is, today's star — Nanako-chan.💕 
 

 
She was such a good girl for her towel-down after the walk, too.😊 
"You did so well.🫶" 
 
 
As I tidied up the raincoat and wet things at the entrance, I felt a gaze from above…… 
 
↓↓↓     

 
Her cuteness was so striking, I did a double take.🤣 
 
Let's play with that toy together, okay! 
 
 
When I prepared her meal, 
she'd gaze up at me with big, teary eyes like this. 
 

 
Nanako-chan is ever so expressive.✨ 
 
 

 
Thank you for that adorable smile.💕 
 
One look at Nanako-chan's big smile, 
and surely everyone can't help but smile too.🌻 
 
Here's hoping we can go for a walk together again.🍀
