午後に「柿の木広場」を目指して歩いていたら、少し手前の家でサスケが玄関前で座っていました。タイガのように、家の中が退屈なので道の様子を眺めていたようです。シェパードのような鼻声で挨拶してくれましたが、飼い主さんがそばにいないので、フェンスを通して撫でるだけ。
On our way to the Persimmon Park, we passed in front of Sasuke's house. Sasuke was sitting in front of the porch. Just like Taiga, he finds it too boring to be in the house and likes watching the world go by. He greeted us with a high-pitched whining like a German Shepherd. Since his dad was not outside, I could only stroke him through the fence.
Sasuke looked us with his lugubrious eyes, but we left him to continue our walk to the nearby Persimmon Park.
柿の木広場は貸し切り状態でした。ひとしきり走り回ったあとは、帰る前のオヤツ。人間用のおやつタイプのニボシです。私の苦手な「はらわた」が無いのと低塩分なのとで、カルシウム摂取に時々買っていますが、タイガも喜んで食べます。
途中の垣根の綺麗なサザンカ。サザンカにしては大輪で見ごたえあります。
Beautiful sasanqua flowers in a hedge. The flowers were quite large for sasanqua.
At the Persimmon Park, we had the whole place to ourselves. After running about to her heart's content, Taiga wanted a treat before heading home. Today, I gave her dried sardines - these are sold as snacks for humans, with minimum salt, as an extra source of calcium.
さ、帰ろう。
カリカリ、ポリポリ
Crunchy
Now, we can go home.
