I got second prize!

I was very nervous when Mom took out the travel bags.

I thought that I would be left alone again.

So I had to stay with the bags to find out what would happen next.

But at night, I got too sleepy and finally I slept in my bed (Mom: "Not yours!").

The next day, we all got in a rental car and Papa drove us to the countryside.

The place we arrived at was the place where I came 

with Mr. K when I was left at Mr. K's school dormitory.

Mr. K was there. And Mom and Mr. K start talking about something.

And I did some training ... sit, down, stay, stand and so on.

I actually like training very much but I didn't know what was going on.

Then Mom and Papa said, "Bye for now, Bobby Lee."

I thought, 'Ah, that's exactly what I worried about.'

I passed an anxious night at the school house with other dogs.

Some dogs cried, but I didn't.

That's because I'm a strong man, although I was sad that Mom and Papa had left me again.

The next day I knew something unusual was happening.

Mom came with my ball.

I was so happy to see Mom and I felt that I do anything for her.

She looked happy too.

Suddenly Mom and I were in front of Mr. K.

I still in the mood of wanting to do anything for Mom.

Then, this was it.

It was the school's competition.

And Mom and I got second prize in my group, although I was not there 

since no one expected that we would take a prize.

But when I saw Mom's happy face in this picture, I felt very happy.

I did it!

Mom's friends were there for me, although I was not in the picture again.

Mom and Papa were very proud of me.

I was very happy even though I WAS IN A CAGE!!!

With happy Papa and Mr. K.

With Mr. K, Mom and the Mom and Papa of a lady of my dreams

(a Doberman named Sama).

Walky with Mom to see Mt. Fuji.

But the clouds were hiding it.

That's OK. I was so happy to be with Mom in the big field.

I had fun and fun and fun with Mom.

Me without Mt. Fuji.

Mom, I love you. 

Let's play.

Mom: "Yes, my prince."

The next morning on the way home, we all went to the place again, and this time here we are!

Mt. Fuji and Papa and me.

All the best for Mom.

Clothes Hound

Today, I'll introduce my summer costume.

This is it.

Mom: "Hey, you don't look happy."

Mom, yes, I'm happy ... 

See, I look like I'm a pretty stupid dog, right?

But Mom and Papa said that I'm cool with this.

What do you think?

Mom: "Bobby Lee, this is a gift from Tokko for your walkies in rain. 

And I chose from the Green Dog selection ... it was also very expensive! 

So be happy!"

Tokko, thank you very much for thinking about me.

Mom: "You should smile!"

Mom, I can't ... Maybe I can if you take me for a walk.

Mom: "OK, then let's go!"

Thank you Tokko. I think that I'm happy.

Take a look at me from the side.

Mom: "Thank you Bobby Lee for posing. You look really cool!"

Thank you, Mom.

Mom, I can't see in front.

Mom: "Don't complain! You have a keen nose, right?

Enjoy your walk!"

*****

Bump!

(The sound of hitting a tree ...)

I'm OK, I love Tokko and Mom.

I won't complain about this wierd costume.

*****

Bonk!

(The sound of hitting a utility pole...)

I'm OK.

Thank you Mom and Tokko and Mom and Tokko ...

Mom: "Bobby Lee, are you alright?"

Yes, Mom. Thank you Tokko and Mom and Tokko and Mom and Mom and Tokko ...

Mom: "Maybe you need to take off your hood to see in front."

"Bobby Lee, do you know where we are now? Answer me."

Thank you Mom, yes Mom. I like Tokko and Mom.

I won't complain about anything.

I know ... we are now ... Mom and Tokko and Tokko and Mom I won't complain. I love Mom and Tokko ...

Mom: "Oh no! Let's go home. I'm sorry Bobby Lee. I'm very sorry ... but it might be too late.

I hope that you don't have any brain damage ..."

Mom: "I'm sorry Bobby Lee. I'll take care of you even if you have serious brain damage. I won't insist that you wear the hood next time. I'll dry you out carefully and gently, my lovely prince."

Heh-heh ...

Mom: "Did you chuckle now?"

No, no chuckling at all.

Mom: "Look at me. Tell me the truth."

Mom, don't get so angry. I was just kidding you. But it hurt when I hit the pole. That's true."

Mom: "I'll send you a dog house. True one!"

Mom, don't put me in jail.

Then this is me.

I had to go to jail.

Mom is so mean.

Mom: "Hey you! That's not a jail. That's our garden. You are really a big actor!"

Making Up with 'My People'

This is not a new story at all and not interesting at all, but Mom would like to show my stupid look.

I'll tell you that you can skip this story if you want to ... 

When Mom and Papa were traveling in Europe, I stayed at Mr. K's school dormitory.

It was not so bad since Mr. K took me to the countryside and played with me.

But, I was not really sure that if I would see Mom and Papa again even though they said so. 

I was also a bit angry that they left me at the dormitory.

Mom: "Let's go for a walky to your favorite place ... Ebisu Garden Place, yay hooray yay!"

Mom, I don't like walkies and I don't remember where Ebisu Garden Place is.

I rather wanna sleep alone.

Mom: "Well, well, well.

My prince Bobby Lee, please come with me, please."

OK, I'll go if you ask me that way.

Mom: "Let's take a picture of you!

You would like to become a celebrity like ... like Beckham, right?

So I'll take a picture to apply for celebrity status.

You can buy a lot of balls!"

Mom, I'm not interested in celebrity or balls either.

Mom: "OK, but if you smile, you might be able to have a date with a cute sweet girlfriend ... "

Mom, is it true?

You often dupe me ...

Mom: "Yes, it's true.

A small chihuahua named Lucy asked for your picture the other day!"

Well, then I can't avoid ...

Mom, take now.

(Mom, whispering: He-he-he)

I stupidly smiled for the girlfriend.

That day, I didn't want to show how happy I was to be with Mom yet.

I needed to be sure that they wouldn't leave me alone again.

After I slept with Mom and Papa in my bed (Mom: "Not yours, ours."), 

I was having difficulty hiding my joy.

The next day, Papa told me that they wouldn't leave me alone.

Papa: "I missed you Bobby Lee, very much, and Mom did, too.

We were looking at your pictures in iPhone every day."

And my plan to not smile completely collapsed.

I'm happy happy happy ...

Mom: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't smile?"

Mom, heh-heh ... I'm not smiling and not happy at all.

Mom: "Oh, I'm sorry ..."

Papa, let's play!

But I'm not stupid.

I'm not smiling.

Papa, I'm not smiling, right?

Papa: "No, of course not."

I'm not foolishly ...

I'm just playing with my toy. Not laughing or smiling.

I'm not ...

Not at all ...

I ... might ...

I might be smiling.

I can't hide my happy face anymore!

yahoo! hurrah hurrah hooray ...

Mom, I love you.

Papa, I love you too.

Please don't ...

leave me alone anymore ...

Mom: "Bobby Lee! You messed our house!!!"

Tut tut. Normal Mom came back ...
