Shiratama from black shiba dog. He always looks at the camera, so when I asked the owner, she said, “It’s always the case.” It was a very cute Shiratama-kun.
Currently, Japan is in the middle of seven consecutive holidays called Golden Week. This year’s GW has no plans to go out and is living the same life as usual.
今朝の七里ヶ浜の広場には、アンちゃん、ルフナちゃん、こなつの3頭。
Anzu, Rufuna, and Konatsu came to Shichirigahama park this morning.
今朝はサッカー少年も野球少年も来なくて静かなグラウンドだった。3頭のんびり過ごしてきました。
It was a quiet ground this morning with no soccer boys or baseball boys coming. So, three of them were able to spend a leisurely time.
このあと場所を移動して海まで散歩することにした。
After that, I moved to another place and take a walk to the sea.
ここは七里ヶ浜プリンスホテル前の通りで、潮騒通りという名が付いている。
This is the street in front of the Shichirigahama Prince Hotel and is named Shiosai Street. ( Shiosai means the sound of the sea )
今回の非常事態宣言で駐車場は閉まっているようですが海にはサーファーが溢れている。
The parking lot seems to be closed due to this state of emergency, but the sea is full of surfers.
The beginning of the week started again on a business trip to Gunma. The Covid-19 infection is becoming the fourth wave, but I am relieved that Kanra Town, Gunma Prefecture, where I go, is an area where there are almost no infected people.
This is Sayama PA on the Ken-O Expressway, a coffee break while charging the car. It took three and a half hours to get to Kanra because there were two accidents on that day, and I arrived 10 minutes before the start of work! After two days of work, I came back home yesterday.
そして今朝。いつものように七里ヶ浜に向かい､､､
And this morning. Head to Shichirigahama as usual …
ここは自称・七里ヶ浜アビーロード。 これに写真を重ねると､､､
This is the self-proclaimed Shichirigahama Abbey Road, and put a photo on this, …
こうなる。
It will be like this.
浄化センターに着いたら1年ぶりにウメちゃんに会った！
When I arrived at the purification center, I met Ume for the first time in a year!
Ume is 9 years old. The owner lamented that she had turned a little white on her face and body, but she was still appetizing, and when I offered her a snack she was “give me more.”
These days, dogs live as family members rather than pets in every home, and we treat our friends dogs with that feeling, so the news of death is painful. Two days ago, Futa, who was a good friend of Konatsu, crossed the rainbow bridge. He was just 16 years old, and he wasn’t particularly ill, so it might be a natural and peaceful death.
He took a good walk until the end of last month and stopped by at my house on the way. This is the photo at that time. Konatsu and we both feel lonely.
I met a new face dog on a walk in Shichirigahama this morning. He is Mio (Bernese Mountain Dog ♂, 3 years old) and is the successor to Mina, who died about two years ago. Mio’s owner said that Mio’s former owner couldn’t continue to keep Mio, so he took Mio along to his home.
Yesterday, a veterinarian asked me, “Since the end of last year, the number of dogs that are sick has increased, and many dogs have diarrhea. Is Konatsu okay?” “No worries! “
お散歩行こうか？
Shall we go for a walk?
「行きます行きます！」と階段を駆け下り
Run down the stairs saying “I’m going!”
何気におすましポーズで歩き始める。
For no special reason, start walking in a cool pose.
先ずはシバちゃんのお宅に行き、2頭で歩く。
First, go to Shiva’s house and …
こうして並んでみると、やっぱこなつはデッカイねえ。。。 次はフータ君に会いに歩いて行く。
When two of them walk side by side in this way, Konatsu is really big… Next, they will walk to see Futa.
Even a close-up photo, Bruno has a nice face. He always approaches me when he finds me, but it seems that he is aiming for food, and he has reached out again this morning!
Because today is Monday, there aren’t many dogs who came for a walk, so everyone went home early. Konatsu also walks for about 20 minutes and the walk is over.
帰り道、見慣れたいつもの風景ですが､､､
On the way home, it’s the usual scenery I’m used to, and …
今日は雲が低いのか、富士山がこんな見え方でした。
Maybe the clouds are low today, and Mt. Fuji looked like this.
This dog is Fuku. A dog protected in Fukushima Prefecture at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake 10 years ago, this woman came to the current owner on the condition that she will keep it until the original owner is found. However, in the end, the original owner was not found, and Fuku is still in Kamakura. Currently estimated to be 12 to 13 years old, he is a very friendly dog. Konatsu seemed to get along with Fuku.
I can’t update my blog until tomorrow because I work in Gunma. So, I would like to introduce my favorite one from the videos I have edited so far. This is a video of when I went to play with my dog friends at the foot of Mt. Fuji five years ago. This time is approaching, isn’t it?
If I walk about 10 minutes further, I will arrive at the Shichirigahama park, where I usually go to in the morning, but it will be difficult to return to that point, so I decided to turn back here.
家の近くまで戻ってきたらHANAちゃんに出会ったので「一緒に歩こう！」という事になり､､､
When I came back near my house, I met HANA-chan, so I said “Let’s walk together!”
しばらく歩いたら今度はマー君に会い、3頭で近所の公園で遊ぶことにした。
After walking for a while, we met Maron this time and decided to play with three of them in a nearby park.
Konatsu usually gets scared when she comes to such a place and doesn’t try to walk, but today she seems happy to be with Fuuta and doesn’t show any fear at all.
英国風アンティークショップの前を通り、、、
Passing in front of an English antique shop …
ここはケーキ屋のレ・シュー

お店の前でフー太君、「ケーキなら何でも食べます！」といてるように見える。
In front of the shop, Fuuta seems to say, “I will eat any cake!”
Turn left at the end of les choux and enter the residential area, this is Platanus street. The number of small but fashionable stores is starting to increase.

こなつは「まさかここに行くんじゃないでしょうね？」という表情になり、、、
Konatsu looks like “I’m not going here, right?”
突然シッポが下がってしまった（笑） さあ、ここから駅の方に向かって戻ろう。
The tail suddenly went down. lol Now, let’s go back toward the station from here.
On the way, there is a new house under construction, and you can see an iron frame in the middle of the site. I was wondering what it was, but this is definitely the frame of a three-story elevator ! I wonder if a great house can be built.
再び坂を下って歩きます。
2頭とも年の割には沢山歩いたけど、まだまだ行けます、って顔だ。
Both of them walked a lot for their age, but they can still go.
内科の医院と中国茶の店
Internal medicine clinic and Chinese tea shop
ようやく駅前まで戻って来た。
We finally came back to the station.
そこに湘南モノレールが走って来た。
ここまでくれば家はもうすぐそこ。
At this point, my home is just around the corner.
長い散歩でした。フーちゃん、ありがとね！
It was a long walk. Thank you, Futa!
こなつは名残惜しそうにフー太君が帰って行くのを見送っていたのでした。
Konatsu was regretfully waiting for Fuuta to return.
We walked together for about 30 minutes and ended my walk today. Japan has entered Obon holidays, but unfortunately I cannot take consecutive holidays because the holidays at my two work sites are misaligned.
