Reporting from Berkeley, I'm Jimmy Mac.

Hi, everybody, I'm Jimmy Mac — today's reporter from the Berkeley Hills branch.
I'll broadcast Hill's news today.
Hey, camera OK?

Bobby Lee's Mom: "Jimmy, thank you very much ... and I'm sorry to say this ...
but this is not for a TV show ... only a blog, and the number of people who
see it is in the single digits ..."

Oh, well ... I see
I'm shocked ... OK, never mind.
Let's go!

Here, Berkeley Hills had been very safe, but recently there was a murder and I heard that some houses were broke into.
So I have been patrolling around the neighborhood much more carefully than before.
And I bark when it is necessary -- moreover, if I felt danger to Mom, I'd certainly bite, although I've never bitten anybody.
I have to protect Mom ... that is my first priority.

OK, I'll show you my family ...
Come on~

Here we are.
Mom, Bobby Lee's Papa, Aunt A, my cousin A, and Mom's brother M.
Bobby Lee's Mom is the cameraman.

Let's go to the crime scene.


Hey, come on!

Here!

Bobby Lee's Mom: "Jimmy, what is the crime?

Oh, well ... let me think ...
I'll report about that later ...
Mom, could you throw me a ball?

Wow, I'm so happy to have all of you here.
Could you throw the ball again?
Woof, woof, wooooof!

Could you throw the frisbee next?

Jimmy's Mom: "Jimmy, we are waiting for the story about the crime."

What?
Was there any crime?
Did I say that?

All: "Yes, you said so, that's why we are here!"

Well, OK.
A bad dog came here and dug up the earth and made a hole.
It is prohibited.
So don't just worry about murderers and thieves. 
Be careful when you walk in this park because there are holes.
This is the end of the report from the Berkeley Hills branch.

Let's go home.
My din-din time!

All: "Aaaah, what is this!"

What?!

Jimmy's Mom: "Who did this?!"

I saw ... I saw Bobby Lee's Papa doing it ...

Papa: "Jimmy, did you say that I did it?"

Maybe no ... not Papa-san ...

Mom: "I know who did this, Jimmy ... a bad dog, right?

Mom, I'm not a bad dog ...

Bobby Lee's Mom: "Jimmy did it!"

Maybe ... I did.
I wanna go hide in a hidey-hole ...
I'm sorry, Mom ...

All: "That's OK, you are a good dog and we all love you very much!"

Well, I'm Jimmy Mac, from Berkeley ...
End.

It's me, Jimmy Mac.

I cannot update my blog since I'm in the dormitory while Mom and Papa is in US.
I hope that my brother Jimmy Mac takes care of my blog during my absence.

..........

Did you ask me?

OK, I'll do it for you, Bobby Lee.

What shall I write?

Anyway, let's go!
My Mom is working for your Mom and Papa, so I have to be quiet.

By the way, you said that you met Grandpa, right?
I haven't seen him in quite long time.
I miss him very much.

Here is Grandpa's room.
Grandpa loves reading books.

Grandpa's bed ...

He had a lot of decorations.

The view from his window.

And my toys and water ... I have this set in each room.

 OK, let go next ...
I miss him so much ...
I wanna cry, but I have to be strong.
I have to take care of my Mom, DMF.

I'll show you the tree.
It's huge.
The tree told me that it has been living here more than 100 years.

... Oh, before going outside, I'll show you some pictures.
On the walls around here ...

This is Grandpa and Cleo ... Grandma, although I've never met her.
She looks beautiful.

Grandpa when he was young.

Many pictures of Grandpa and Grammy.

Hey, Bobby Lee, do you know who they are?
Grandpa and your Papa!

Oh, I have to show you the tree.
On the right, you can see a part of the tree.

I cannot put the whole thing in one picture.
You have to imagine ... 

Grandpa?!




I thought that I heard Grandpa ...
But maybe I'm hearing things.

Grandpa, I love you.

I'll introduce my Mom DMF and the family next time.
I'll go now for stealing cakes ...

















Grandpa!

Papa left me and Mom at home.
And I was in this position to practice for staying in the cage.

Mom looked very sad, so I wanted to do something for her.
But I didn't know what to do.
I'd been trying to get Mom's attention by biting things around the house and jumping on her, biting her hand, her sweater, her arm ...
Nothing worked at all.
She'd just ignored me.
When I'd almost given up, I heard someone calling me.
"Hey, Bobby Lee! It's me, Pop-pop Grandpa."
I looked out the window and I found Grandpa!

I tried to let Mom know that Grandpa was here.

Mom, he is here!

Mom, I don't wanna lose him.

Mom, quick, quick!

I let Mom know many times in many ways that Grandpa was here, but she didn't get what I was saying.

 
I hope that you can see him in this movie.
 See, he's with me.

He was smiling — he had a beautiful smile and seemed at peace.
I cannot explain what I felt, but I won't ever forget him. Never.
Grandpa.
He flew across the high in the sky.
He said that he's going to find Cleo's star.
Thank you very much for seeing me.
Good bye, Grandpa, for now.

I wanna become be a brave man like Grandpa!

When Papa came up to me and kissed me ...
I knew something happened.

I also felt that Mom and Papa were sad.
Moreover, I kind of knew that I had to go to Mr. K's dormitory.

Mom, Papa, Debbie and Jimmy I'm OK.
I wanna be a brave man like Grandpa.
Don't worry about me, I'll be a OK.
Actually I like not only Mr. K but also pretty kind girls of the school.

Mom: "I got big kiss from Debbie, let me kiss you."

OK~
I'm here ...
Mom, could you come here then?

Mom: "What are you doing in there?"
I'm practicing to be in a cage!

And don't forget to give good big 'Woof' to my brother Jimmy from me.
