今朝は柿の木広場へ行きました。貸し切り状態です。
We went to the Persimmon Park this morning. With no-one else around, we had the place to ourselves.
最近シャンプーしたばかりなのに草の上でゴロゴロ。飼い主の心知らず。
I only shampooed her the other day, but she cares not and enjoys grass bath.

6種 混合ワクチンの接種で動物病院へ行ってきました。隣町の江古田にあり、うちから城北公園へ行くよりも少し遠い距離ですが、タイガはまだまだ元気で歩いていけます。半年前の5月に脂肪腫除去の手術で来た時は随分と緊張していましたが、今回はわりとリラックスして受付で座り込んでいました。
I took Taiga to the clinic for vaccination (6 combination) this morning. The clinic is in the neighbouring town and the distance is a little farther than walking to Johoku Park. However, the distance is short enough for Taiga to manage without exerting herself. Last time when we visited the clinic in May this year, it was for the operation to remove the large lipoma from her chest, and she was stressed out just waiting in the reception area. This time, she was more or less relaxed.
午後の早い時間に タイガのシャンプーをしたので、自然乾燥の旅で公園へ行きました。ポカポカ天気で大変な人出でした。
After shampooing Taiga, we went out for natural drying, since the day was warm and dry. At the Johoku Park, there were lots of people enjoying the fine weather after the recent typhoons.
台風の影響が去って、今朝は雲一つない青空。しかも寒すぎず暑すぎず快適な天気なので、私の気に入りの6丁目の一角を歩きました。
The effect of No. 21 typhoon (Kong-rey) was gone, and the sky was blue since early morning. The temperature was neither too cold nor too warm. It being such a perfect morning, we walked in my favourite part of the neighbouring district.
この通りはいつ来てもほっこりします。東京というよりはどこか静かな田舎町を歩いているような雰囲気。
I feel so relaxed when I walk through this stretch of road. It feels like a quiet small town far away from Tokyo.
途中で出会った初めての子。9歳のマルチーズミックスの男の子。左耳が立っているので「『片耳立ちのチコ』と申します」と、飼い主さんが言っていました。
We met a new face - a male Maltese mix, 9 years old. His dad introduced him as "Chico with an upright ear". His left ear was standing.
帰りは金魚の水槽のある家の前を通りました。
We passed in front of the house with the fish tanks, to see how the goldfish were doing.
朝の公園に着くと、ちょうど柴犬のコンちゃんもやって来ました。他に人気が無かったので、しばし追いかけっこの遊びをさせました。
On arriving at the park, we met Kon, a male Shiba Inu, who is about 7 years old. Taiga has known him since he was a puppy. There was no-one else nearby, so we let them run freely.
