Remembrance of Things Past

Last year, I went to a dog resort hotel near Mt. Fuji with Mom and Papa.

It was a first time for me to get in water.

I still remember when Papa threw me into the dog swimming pool.

He was a Spartan!

I knew that I was a not good swimmer yet.

It seemed that I almost drowned.

It seemed that I'm ready to cry.

Poor puppy Bobby Lee.

Oh, it's me.

I still remember that we went to a lake next day.

I liked the lake and I was already a better swimmer than the day before.

Fetching a ball.

And coming back to Mom.

Playing with Mom.

I was in Mom's arms.

In the hotel room with Papa.

Having dinner with Mom and Papa at the restaurant.

Oh, I was happy.

Mom often says that that time was the last time that I was a docile puppy.

I didn't fight with other dogs, I didn't jump on people hard, I didn't do play biting.

****

This year, I was one year older than the previous time.

I went to the same lake, and I had great fun.

But I didn't stay at the same dog resort hotel since Mom worried that I might fight with other dogs.

She doesn't understand a dog's life.

We love fighting!

Mom: "That's not true, Bobby Lee."

Anyway, I don't have many pictures.

You know, that's the way ... Mom doesn't care as much as the first time.

Here is one where I was swimming.

And this.

Don't you think that I look like a strong man?

Mom: "No, you are a big bully boy."

I slept so deeply on Mom.

Mom: "Actually, it was not allowed to sleep on the bed ... "

Zzzz ...

Playing alone with a ball.

See, not many pictures ...

I also went to a BBQ this year.

I'll tell you the story next time.

How's Tokyo in summer?

It's too hot. 

So this is a shot of Tokyo life in summer time.

(My house is very cool!)
