[10 May, 2024]
Jiro and I took to exploring this new park that we haven’t visited yet. We went on two of the three trails in the park, overall about a mile and a half altogether. It was a nice and pleasant environment, and we will visit again soon!
Frenemies
I dogsat Layla, my niece’s sweet little Siberian Husky the past week and a half while they traveled to LA for spring break. Jiro and I enjoyed her company, but I think her rambunctiousness, being barely over 2 years old, sometimes got to Jiro every once in a while. They were the perfect ‘frenemies’.
Lazy Dog Day Afternoon
What to do on a cold Friday afternoon?
Sunning on a Sunday
Sunday, sunny Sunday!
A Sunny Outlook
Jiro Gets Painted!
Painters working outside the house spilled some paint in the backyard and forgot to clean it up before they packed up for the day. Of course, Jiro finds it and rolls around on it. Luckily, it was water-based paint and came off rather easily.

I see you eyeing those crispy pork belly bites!

More Sun-Chasing Shenanigans, Part 2
Jiro continues to find ways to enjoy the sun from inside the house.
Summer Heat
As the temperature soars, Jiro prefers the cool indoors versus the steamy, sticky outdoors.

Jiro continues to chase the sun throughout the house all day.
Evening Walk on the Longest Day of the Year
Probably the most humid as well.
Sun Lover
Jiro loves the sun. He’s learned to drag his bed to the spot wherever the sun is coming into the house at the time. And when it moves to the other end of the house later in the day, he just moves over to where it is and flops down on the floor.
Crazy Dog
New toy, destroyed toy.

Anxious Times for Jiro
Back from my brief business trip to Detroit, I picked Jiro up from an overnight stay at the doggie hotel. His pre-departure grooming yielded a toenail cut too deep into the quick. Had to take him to the vet to stop the bleeding. These things bleed like crazy. Back at home, I’m using flour to dry and clot up the wound. He’s exiled to his old crate so he doesn’t make a bloody mess on the floors. Definitely anxious times for him.
