東京は今日も晴れ。例年なら正月の公園で子供たちがタコ揚げで走っている光景が見られますが、昨日・今日と風がないのでタコ揚げは見かけませんでした。
相変わらずなのが、タイガの非協力的な態度。絶対にカメラのほうを向きません。
We are enjoying a very sunny New Year with hardly a breeze. It is hard to imagine that, on the other side of the Japan Alps that runs the length of Honshu, they have had snow storms for the last several days.
ドッグランに入ると、バーニーズのユズが内気そうなシェルティーに対してストーカー行為をして、その子が座り込んだところで臭いチェックしていました。
We went into the dog park and saw Yuzu, a female Bernese, had a timid Shelty pinned to the wall.
シェルテイーはただただ耐えて、ユズが興味をなくすことを願うだけ。
The Shelty could do nothing but to hope that Yuzu would soon lose interest.
Mono, male Border Collie and Taiga's favourite, arrives. Taiga is all excited.
However, Mono is not in the mood to play with Taiga. Yuzu (left) and her brother (right) also came to greet Mono.
Mono was too concerned with Yuzu's powerful stare and his ears were facing backwards.
アルバスとママがランの横を通りがかって私に声をかけてきました。ママのお腹には子犬が。生後2か月の子で、まだ3回のワクチンが終わっていないそうです。犬種はアルバスとおなじラブラドゥードル。
Albas's mom called out to me as she was passing by the dog park - she had a puppy to show me. He is only 2 months old and not allowed to play with other dogs since he has not finished his vaccines yet. Also, he is of the same breed as Albas, i.e., Labradoodle.
Somehow, Albas looks forlorn - he can no longer monopolise mom's affection.
On our way home, we met two Leonbergers.
左は生後7か月の仔犬。右は1歳台の子。飼い主さんたちとおしゃべりし過ぎて、ワンコたちの名前や性別を尋ねるのも忘れてしまいました。この2頭はまだ幼いので、毛足も短く、顔がいかにも子供です。親たちの体重は50kg超えだそうです。
