公園でいつものオヤツスポットに着くと、初めて見るアメリカンピットブルの子がいました。名前は「マッスル」、全然名前負けしていません。体重は 33kg あるそうです。
We were walking towards the spot where Taiga gets a treat every morning, when we met a new face. A male American Pitbull Terrier named 'Muscle', and his stature does full justice to his name. He weighs 33 kg.
Muscle is not looking very happy as his mom was totally occupied with her phone.
暇つぶしの相手をしようとしゃがみこんだら、
As he seemed bored, I crouched in front of him.
不可解だけど可愛い。
ズンと近づいて来て、もしかして私の肝試し？ ぜーんぜん怖くないからね。
Suddenly, he got close to me as if to see if I might be scared - no chance.
なぜか突然ゴロゴロ。訳わかりません。
All of a sudden and for no apparent reason, he started rolling on the ground.
I cannot imagine what it was all about but he is cute.
タイガは念願のオヤツ。最近、どこで鼻をこすりつけていたのか、擦り剝けています。昔なら直ぐに治っていたのが、今回は時間がかかっています。
At last, Taiga gets her treat. She got a part of her nose skin rubbed off recently. When she was young, things like this used to heal soon but now it takes much longer.
タイガは今年の５月でもう９歳です。
She will be 9 years old in May this year.
