This was my very first time caring for Chip-chan and Chucky-chan. 

The moment I stepped into the room, the two of them welcomed me with all the energy in the world! 

Chip-chan, whose charm point is a bandana-style collar, is a little reserved 

but when I held her, she'd press herself snugly against me. 

Chucky-chan, whose charm point is a pair of suspenders, shows her love with her whole body! Before a walk, she'd wiggle her little bottom with sheer joy♪ 

Both of them ate plenty and were such good girls on their walks, too.✨️ 

Sweet Chip-chan and Chucky-chan, adorable from start to finish. Caring for them brought a natural smile to my face and filled me with energy.☺️

Kotaro-kun, a Shiba Inu, is a senior dog of thirteen years. 

His care list even included the word

"nursing care." 

At our meeting, his family gave me a careful explanation of how Kotaro-kun was doing —

that he had lost almost all of his sight, that he could no longer go without diapers,

and that his legs had grown weak. 

When I greeted him for the first time — "Kotaro-kun, it's nice to meet you" 

he came shuffling toward me, dragging himself along on his bottom.

It was such a happy surprise. 

He rested his chin on my lap and worked his little nose,

as if committing my scent to memory. 

In that very moment,

I felt certain that Kotaro-kun and I had connected. 

Thanks to that first bond,

the care went smoothly from beginning to end. 

Even with nursing care — something quite different from my usual work —

I was able to do it all with such joy,

and that was because Kotaro-kun relied on me,

entrusting me with his body and his heart. 

His family also shared stories of Kotaro-kun in his younger days. 

He had been a difficult dog, they said —

wary of people, keeping everyone at a distance, with a habit of nipping. 

Kota-chan, is this gentle calm of yours

something you've come to find with the passing years? 

Looking at Kota-chan's peaceful expression,

my heart grows warm and tender. 

I feel as though, this time,

I learned something deeply important from you.

Let me introduce the four adorable pups I had the pleasure of caring for this time! 

Maron-kun, a Toy Poodle. 

He loves my lap, and would always claim his spot first thing, making sure none of the others could take it! 

That slightly jealous side of him was simply endearing💕 

Shuri-kun, a Maltese-Poodle mix. 

A spirited little tomboy who loves a good game of fetch with her plushie! 

The moment I tossed it, she'd bring it right back to me — "One more time!" — inviting me to play again and again🥰 

Flora-kun, a Cavalier-Chihuahua mix. 

His daily routine was to lounge on the sofa, watching everyone else at play. 

Now and then he'd drift right off to sleep just like that — such a soothing sight✨ 

Genki-kun, a Maltese. 

After his meal, he'd sleep soundly in his carry bed. 

He showed me the most peaceful sleeping face, looking so utterly at ease — it was just precious💕 

Each of them spent the time at their own pace, and I do hope I was able to bring them some relaxed, happy moments✨

Half a year on, Giovanna-chan is as lively as ever on her walk. 

She pattered along, guiding me down her usual walking route. 

And plenty of happy sniffing along the way! 

Back home after her meal… now, what could be next? 

Why, her beloved brushing, of course🎶

It felt so nice that she dozed right off🎶 

What a happy sitter I was, reunited with sweet Giovanna-chan. Thank you so much for entrusting her to me.

"I got to join my big sister's wedding!🎶 " 

"And as the ring dog, I lit up the whole venue." 

"For the party, I dressed up too… don't I look lovely?" 

"As a reward, I was treated to a special dog meal🎶" 

"It was so delicious that I finished every last bite🎶" 

She even went for a walk, and played her big role beautifully — what a clever girl, our Sienna-chan!

This time, I had the pleasure of caring for Mongo-kun, a three-month-old Miniature Schnauzer. 

From the very moment we met, I was head over heels!💖 

Even at our very first hello, Mongo-kun wasn't the least bit shy — so wonderfully friendly.🥰 

And bursting with energy, through and through!✨ 

Tail wagging away, he'd come leaping right up to me.🎶 

And at every chance, he'd give my trousers a little nibble-nibble.😂 

And here's the thing — Mongo-kun has already mastered "sit"! How impressive!👏✨ 

His room is full of toys — balls, rings, ropes, clothes-shaped ones, squid-shaped ones, 

so many to choose from. 

Which one was his favorite, I wondered? So we held a little toy championship!🧸 

And the result… 

The rainbow rope toy was a strong contender, but 

in the end, the squid plushie took first place — or so it seemed to me!🦑✨ 

He played with me right up until the very last minute, and did such a great job holding down the fort.🐾 

Let's play again soon!☺️🍀
