あと1週間で冬至だから4時を過ぎるとすぐに暗くなってくる。
It’s the winter solstice in a week, so it will be dark soon after 4:00 p.m.

今日、最初に会ったのはベルちゃんだった。ベルちゃんとこなつは仲良しなのだ。
Today, the first dog Konatsu met was Belle. Belle and Konatsu are good friends.

その後も次々とお友達がやってきた。トイプードルのココちゃんと、ボーダーコリーのオビちゃん。
After that, Konatsu’s friends came one after another. Coco, a poodle, and Obi, a border collie.

歩いているうちにどんどん暗くなり、、、
As we walk, it gets darker and darker…

冬の夕方らしい風景だね。
It’s a scene typical of a winter evening.

暗くなると光る首輪が役立っている。これが無いと黒いこなつは闇の中に埋もれてしまう。
When it gets dark, the glowing collar is very useful. Without it, the black-haired Konatsu would be buried in the darkness.

これは最近近くにできた教会。
This is a church that was recently built nearby.

いつもよりやや短い散歩だったけど、今日はこれでお終い。
It was a shorter walk than usual, but that’s all for today.
