Talkies
So I have officially caved, given into the pressures of social media and done the unthinkable. I have taught Sas how to talk. Ok. So it is only three words – one of which is ‘MAD Mamma, MAD!’ which is quite frankly hilarious especially when he has asked for treats and there are no more…

We’re Melting!
And we are done for the day. Yep. That’s it. No more. Short bursts of activity followed by prolonged bouts of laziness on both sides 🙂 . We are literally melting in this awful humidity that calls itself Kyoto. Everything smells damp and wet – ish. We cant move for sweating it all out on…

Thor
My dog is not. He is so very afraid of thunder and lightning that when the weather changes and the humidity is high as it is want to be here in Kyoto, I don’t see my boy. Literally cannot find him. This has culminated in the ultimate frustratingly long and most difficult walk yet –…

What to do?!?
Well, hmmmmmm. It’s been over a month since the last post as work has been absolutely draining. On the weekend its all been Sas, Sas, Sas and nothing else. We have been going down to the river a lot and if you follow us on Instagram we have had some wonderful moments just chilling out…

Boom! We are back!
Hellooooooo! We are back after a much needed extended break. Wow. So much has and has not happened it is difficult to know what to talk about. How about February?! Right. Ok.

Pit stop
Hello! As you may, or not, have been aware I haven’t written any posts regarding the shenanigans of Sasuke. For the most part there haven’t really been any. Since his all clear back in January we have been focusing on getting back outside walking. Its now February and we are still nowhere near the river.…

It’s not what it looks like…
Things never are. Sas is now cleared from the vet we can now go on our long walks again with the added bonus of playing fetch and drop it on the stairs. Problem is, we are right back to square one when going out for walks. Sas is back to being terrified of noises, cars…

Draaaaaaaaawp it!
Hello fellow custodians of canines, felines, birds and everyone who has a pet in their life. As you may, or may not (if not where have you been?!) be aware – I adopted a beautiful, a strongly independent, cheeky Hokkaido mix by the name of Sasuke. Although he does go by other names… cookie bear,…

Classy Boy
A topic which has become rather pertinent, more so since adopting Sas, has been the conundrum of the question – how long should I walk my dog for? And the usual response is… it depends on the breed. Well. Yes. It does. However……. Sasukes breed does not feature in ANY of the recommendations for the…

2021
Hello! We made it. Touch and go, the end of 2020 and the start of 2021 was not what I had in mind – nor do I think Sas did either. Yet here we are. And here you are! Although the bandages are off, the antibiotics finished, the cone still on, I can honestly say…
