おてんばちゃん、今日はとっても上手にお散歩できました🥰

Miss Tomboy walked so nicely today too. Good job, little girl! 🥰

Haha, your dogs sound like they put up with you very politely! 😂
Mine are the opposite—if I blow raspberries on one tummy, the others all come rolling over beside me like, “Me next! Do mine too!”

Aww, does your boy like tummy raspberries too? All of my girls love that, and I love doing it too! The only problem is that Little Chubby can smell a little like pee. 😂

おちびは目が合うと少しずつお腹を見せて「なで…る…？」ってアピールしてくるんだけど、可愛さに負けて胸の辺りを撫でようとするとちったい手で「そこじゃなくてもっと下」って指示して来ます。笑

Little Chubby makes eye contact, slowly shows her tummy, and waits like, “Rub... here?” If I pet the wrong place, her tiny paws politely move my hand lower 😂

それー！！！🤣
あと、先代の子たちが使ってたのも残ってるので、古いのほど捨てられず…🥹

犬用おもちゃが増えすぎで断捨離したかったんだけど、チワたちが全部で遊ぶから結局ひとつも捨てられず、掃除しただけで終了。

Our toy box is overflowing, so I tried to declutter. But every time I cleaned a toy, one of the girls carried it away to a bed. In the end, I did not throw anything out. I just ended up with cleaner toys.🧸

チーム黒でお散歩。おちびがちょっとだけ上手にお散歩できるようになってきました🖤（めっちゃ時間かかったけど）

Team Black on their walk. Little Chubby is slowly getting better at this walking business.🖤

「おようふく着たのに。なんでおちびはおさんぽなしなの？🥺」
…だって、お散歩の時間に気持ちよさそうに寝てたから…。苦笑

“Little Chubby got dressed too. Why no walk for me? Mean.”
...Because at walk time, she was asleep and looking far too comfortable to disturb. 😅

Haha, I understand, Laura. Don’t worry—those videos just happened to catch their good moment. Chubby Girl usually walks very nicely, but Miss Tomboy is much more like this most of the time! 😂

Thanks, Mark! My little ballerina is a delicate little thing at just 1.5 kg. Her flipped-up skirt looked like a tiny ballet tutu, so I had to call her that. 😂
Your boy spins around when the wind catches him? That sounds like a lot of work on walks, but absolutely adorable too.

風が強くて戻しても戻してもぺろんと捲れるスカート。チュチュみたいになってる😂ちっちゃいおちり丸出しでかわいい。

The wind was so strong that both little dresses kept flipping up, and they walked along with their tiny bottoms out like it was no big deal. Very cheeky. 😂

We still go back and forth between T-shirts and sweaters here, and nights are still cold, so it is hard to know when to put the blankets away.😂 Fewer people walk dogs in the midday summer heat now, but many still do not realize how easily paws can burn. When I see it, I feel so sorry for the dogs.

Summer in Japan is awful! It is so humid and everything feels sticky. People often say Japanese food is over-packaged, but things get damp or moldy very fast here, so that packaging helps protect them. We are also strict about recycling. I need to bring out my dehumidifier soon too... 😅

Hello, Pialotta Sofée! Thank you for the sweet comment about my Chubby Girl. Her walks are part of her diet plan too. 😂
Tokyo feels extreme now: winter, a little spring, brutal humid summer, a little autumn, then winter again. California feels much sunnier and drier to me. 🏄‍♀️🌴

桜が終わっちゃって寂しいねー🌸暑くなって来たので日中のお散歩はアスファルトチェックからスタートします🐾

Even the cherry trees in the shade are turning green, and blossom season ended in a blink. A little sad 🌸 It is already warm outside, so I check the pavement before daytime walks to protect my girls’ little paws 🐾

ものすごく久しぶりに会った友達が、ウチのチワたちにひとつずつ犬のおもちゃを持って来てくれたんだけど、ぼよんが独り占めしてご満悦のドヤ。

A dear friend I had not seen in a very long time brought toys for my Chihuahuas. One each. Chubby Girl immediately decided they were all hers. She was extremely pleased about it. 😂 #DogsOfBluesky #Chihuahua #Dogs @dogs.bsky.social

Honestly, maybe a little.😂😂

友人（アメリカ人のミュージシャン）が「僕の名前が漢字で書けたらかっこいいのになぁ」って言うから、彼の芸名を、漢字が持つ意味をひとつずつ吟味して本人の希望も聞きつつ名前全体の画数も最高の状態にしてプレゼントしてあげたんだけど、画数多い漢字を果たして彼がちゃんと書けるのか😂

An American friend said, “It would be so cool if my name could be written in kanji,” so I carefully chose each character by meaning—and even made the full name’s stroke count as lucky as possible. In Japan, there’s a kind of name fortune-telling based on stroke count.

私がちょっと横になると、おちびがダッシュで肩に登ってきます。
おちびの特技：ママ登山

The moment I lie down for a bit, Little Chubby comes running and climbs right onto my shoulder. Her special talent: mountain climbing, but Mama is the mountain. 😂

Thanks, Augustus! She really is—a cute little photo-bomber who pops up anytime, anywhere. 😂

保護色の毛布に擬態してるおてんばの写真をそーっと撮ろうとしたら、「あたちも撮っていいよ！」って邪魔しに来たおちび。

I was trying to quietly photograph Miss Tomboy sleeping in her little blanket igloo. Then Little Chubby came in from the side like, “Are we taking pictures? You may photograph me now.”😹

ちょっとかっこいい🤣

That sounds so familiar. Even my little Chubby Girl can be very determined when she wants her usual route, so I can imagine Mandy winning most of the time. 😊

私は見た目から入る子だったので最初に買ったギターがレスポールだったんですが、重くて肩がもげるかと思いましたｗ

（問）重いことに定評のあるレスポールですが、一般的には4kg前後の個体が多く、たまに5kgを超える子がいます。
一方、ぼよん先輩はじわじわと記録を伸ばし、直近に獣医さんで測定された体重は4.95kgでした（ほぼ5kgやんけ）。
これはレスポールと見做して良いのでしょうか？

ミュージシャンのお友達とものすごく久しぶりに会うことになった。
彼女は、公私共に仲の良かった中山美穂さんを亡くしてすぐ、溺愛してた18歳のイケにゃんを亡くしてしまったからずっと心配してたんだけど、仕事が奇跡的に凪に入ってぽっかり時間ができたので急遽。
動物好きでウチのチワたちと会うことをめちゃくちゃ楽しみにしてくれてるんだけど、彼女は今肋軟骨炎で、医者から「ギターより重いものは持たないで」って言われてるらしい。
ぼよんちゃんだけ抱っこ無理かなぁ…。レスポールだと思えばギリいけるかなあ…🎸笑

A musician friend is finally coming to meet my Chihuahuas, and she’s so excited. But she has costochondritis, and her doctor told her not to carry anything heavier than a guitar. So now the question is: does Chubby Girl count as a dog... or a Les Paul?🎸 #BlueskyDogs #DogsOfBluesky #Chihuahua #Dogs

That makes sense! A dog account sounds lovely❤ I’m glad you asked. 😊

工事でいつもの道が通れなくて「なんで行けないの？」って戸惑うぼよんと新しい道に張り切るおちび。笑

Construction blocked our usual route, and Chubby Girl looked so confused, like, “Why can’t we go this way?” She is not a fan of new paths. Little Chubby was ready to lead the adventure.🐾

Thank you, Mark!
Chubby Girl’s tongue has been sticking out since she was a baby, but somehow more and more of it comes out every year… 😂
One vet called her a sumo wrestler, but she is actually a very cute little lady!
She’s on a permanent diet, though. LOL
