Today is Saturday, and people who are off work come to my clinic, so I’m usually busy on Saturdays and Sundays, but for some reason I don’t have many reservations today. I knew that in advance, so I decided to take Konatsu with me.
どこへ連れていかれるのか不安げな顔に見えるけど、今日はセラピー犬しに行くんだからね！
It looks like you’re worried about “where I’ll be taken! ” but today, you’re going to be a therapy dog!
早朝の鶴岡八幡宮の前を通り過ぎ、横浜横須賀道路に向かっています。
Passing in front of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu in the early morning, we are heading for the Yokohama – Yokosuka Expressway.
その後、首都高湾岸線をひた走る。土曜日は道が空いているから1時間ちょっとで着きます。
After that, drive along the Metropolitan Expressway Bayshore Line. It will arrive in a little over an hour on Saturday because the road is empty.
さあ到着です。道の向こうに見えるのがクリニックで、今私が居る所がカウンセリングルーム。 It’s arrival. The clinic is on the other side of the road, and the place where I am now is the counseling room.
If Konatsu can keep this condition and be friendly, she will be able to heal the patient, but she is still afraid of people, so it seems there is still a long way to go.
今日は私と二人きりなので、ずっとこうしてのんびり過ごしていました。私が癒されていたのかもしれない。
Nobody came today, so Konatsu was spending a lot of time like this. I may have been healed.
Today, I would like to introduce the restaurant menu of Karuizawa Regina Resort Mikage Irrigation Water, which I went on a trip last week, and the soba restaurant that I stopped by during the trip. Regina’s breakfast and dinner are more delicious than they look. The soba restaurant in the latter half is delicious and unbearable for soba lovers.
I found out such an excellent goods at my travel destination last week. This is to pour wine with a needle without opening the cork of wine, but as much as you pour, argon gas with a purity of 99.99% will enter the bottle. The wine does not come into contact with the air and continues to age in the bottle, so the taste does not change even after many months.
However, in my case, if I open the wine seal, one bottle will be emptied in a couple of times, and since I usually only buy cheap wine, the cost performance is too bad!
The terrace seats here can be accompanied by dogs, and as you can see in the photo above, each seat has a heating facility for the terrace, and it seems that warm air is probably coming out from above as well. This is okay even when it’s a little cold.
The second day of our Karuizawa trip. It is Kumoba Pond in the early morning. I went there in anticipation of the autumn leaves, but most of the leaves were scattered and it seems that it was about a week late.
Recently, the supermarket “Himawari Ichiba” has been featured on TV and magazines. It is located at the foot of Mt. Yatsugatake in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture.
Looking at the road information, there were so many repair work points that I thought, “What’s this!”, And when I entered the Chuo Expressway, there was a sign saying “Congestion 7km 40 minutes” from Otsuki JCT to Sasago Tunnel. The photo at that time.
arrival. At first glance, it looks like a normal supermarket, but it has a great selection and all the products have detailed instructions. Just reading it is fun and makes me want to buy it.
I’m heading to Karuizawa. Normally, I would take Route 141 from here and head north through Kobuchisawa-Kiyosato, but today I would like to take a different route. Return to the Chuo Expressway again, make a big turn from the Nagano Expressway to the Joshinetsu Expressway, and get off at the Saku IC.
途中、姨捨SAから見た千曲川。
On the way, the Chikuma River seen from Obasute SA.
軽井沢に到着、夕方の散歩です。
Arrived in Karuizawa and took a walk in the evening.
The photo above is before going out this morning. The hair from the butt to the tail was all-you-can-grow, and although it wasn’t noticeable, the hair from the neck to the back was quite long.
カットが終わって帰ってきたのがこちら。スッキリしたね。
Here is the one that came back after the cut. It feels good !
After the shampoo cut, the veterinarian checked the whole body to see if Konatsu was in good physical condition, but I found an inflammation of about 1 cm on the right flank. I was asked by Dr, “Did Konatsu have any pretense that her body was itchy and scratching?”, But I can’t think of anything in particular. It looks red and swollen and begins to suppurate. “I’ll give Konatsu an injection of anti-suppuration and give her a week’s worth of medicine,” he said. Konatsu was lucky to have shampoo and cut today.
It was like this. On the other hand, the weight of Konatsu is 18.5kg, which is 900g less than the previous 19.4kg, which is effective for dieting! However, even if she has been on a diet for the past few months, I cannot let her guard down because it is increasing or decreasing.
My mother used to use nursing care several times a month, but from this September she moved into a nursing home. Now, going to attend a monthly health checkup is an opportunity to meet my mother, and today is the day.
同じ敷地内に病院が併設されていて、そこまで車いすを押していくのですが､､､
There is a hospital on the same site, and my wife push my mother’s wheelchair to the hospital…
今日はこなつも一緒に行って、久しぶりのご対面。
Today, Konatsu went with us and met my mother for the first time in a while.
さすがこういう時のワンコの癒しの力は大きいようで、母が嬉しそうに笑顔になっていた。
As expected, the healing power of the dog at such times seemed to be great, and my mother smiled happily.
Autumn is a harvest time when a lot of best foods are available. So in Japan we say, “Autumn fills up our bellies.” Taro from Fukui prefecture, which we started ordering last year. It arrived today.
Sakurashinmachi “Takeno to Ohagi”, which is also introduced on TV.
この美しい容器を見た瞬間から期待が膨らむ。
Expectations grow from the moment I see this beautiful package.
こなつも期待してる？(笑)
Are you expecting too? (lol)
蓋を開けると、おはぎと言うより和菓子のようです。どれを取ろうか迷ってしまう。
When you open the lid, it’s more like Japanese sweets than Ohagi. I’m wondering which one to take. Ohagi is a type of Japanese bean cake, rice ball coated with sweetened red beans, soybean flour or sesame.
毎日メニューが違うらしく、今日はこの7種類
It seems that the menu is different every day, and today these 7 types
「まだ食べないんですか」とこなつ
It seems that Konatsu is saying, “Don’t you eat yet? I’m hungry.”
After returning from the trip the other day, my daughter has been staying at home. It was a happy day for Konatsu. But my daughter is going back to her house today …
This is Okazaki City Baseball Stadium. It’s about 300km from Kamakura, but this time it was a fun trip while driving my car with two alumni.
鎌倉を6:30に出発して球場に11時頃に到着。右側が私。
We left Kamakura at 6:30 and arrived at the stadium around 11:00. The right side is me.
結果は実力を発揮できず残念な敗戦となり、来春のセンバツ甲子園の出場は無くなった。
As a result, they were unable to demonstrate their abilities and were unfortunately defeated, and they were no longer able to participate in the national tournament next spring.
Finally, recently, such a sign has been displayed in a park in Kamakura City. This is wrong and problematic, judging from the Kanagawa Prefecture Ordinance and the Kamakura City Ordinance. I would like to take up it at a later date.
I would like to thank all the visitors from overseas for your many comments. I will not reply to you individually, but thank you for reading. I appreciate your continuous support, thank you again !
I can’t write an article about Konatsu today, so it’s a miscellaneous feeling. I am on a business trip to Gunma today and tomorrow. While driving on the Kan-Etsu Expressway on the way, the area near the summit of the mountain range (probably in the direction of Mt. Tanigawa and Mt. Asahi ahead of Minakami Onsen) looks vaguely white. There is no snow on Mt. Asama yet. When I arrived in Gunma, it was unexpectedly warm and surprising. Recently, Mt. Aso has erupted, pumice stones from the eruption of submarine volcanoes have flowed, and small earthquakes have occurred here and there. I hope that no major disaster will occur.
いつもの仕事場の群馬県甘楽町。相変わらずのどかな風景。 今日はこなつの記事を書けないので雑感です。
Kanra Town, Gunma Prefecture, where I work this time. The idyllic scenery as usual.
The state of emergency was lifted, and yesterday the number of newly infected COVID-19 in Kanagawa Prefecture was nine. So I invited two friends to think that it would be okay to have a dinner for about four people.

Yesterday, when I got home after work, I crossed the Takebashi JCT of the Metropolitan Expressway-Rainbow Bridge and joined the Bayshore Line. It’s a normal video, but I’ll upload it.
レインボーブリッジから見るお台場の夜景はキレイなのですが最後は湾岸線の渋滞にはまってしまいました。 The night view of Odaiba seen from the Rainbow Bridge is beautiful, but at the end I got stuck in the traffic jam on the Bayshore Line.
一夜明けて、今朝は冷たい雨。 After dawn, it was cold rain this morning.
It was raining yesterday and snow was piled up on Mt. Fuji and it looked so beautiful this morning. After all, it suits Mt. Fuji to be covered with snow so much.
こちらは今朝のこなつ。穏やかに過ごしています。
This is Konatsu this morning. She is spending her time calmly.
Sometimes she is a faithful dog waiting for my wife to return in front of the front door. At this time, it took about 20 minutes for my wife to come back, but she kept waiting without moving this place.
さて、久しぶりに高校野球の話 Well, it ’s been a while since I ’ve been talking about high school baseball.
In Japan, a competition is held every year in which high schools from all over the country participate and compete for the best in Japan. My alma mater ⑥ came in 3rd place in the prefectural tournament this time and got the right to participate in the Tokai regional tournament. They will be able to compete in the national tournament next spring if they are in second place in this tournament. So, at the end of the month, I will go to support!
