Today I got home from quite early so that Chie and I could have a quick dinner at a ramen restaurant before we took the car to Tokorozawa. Arriving in Tokorozawa Coco was waiting for us. So happy to see us again. The rest of the weekend we played with Coco and took him for walks.

I had a walk with Coco in the morning. It was a clear morning with frost on the ground and a clear view of Fuji-san.

Coco was a little bit tired after the walk and spent some time in the lap of Chie resting.

   

Coco really wanted to go to the dog park today. Or at least that was what Chie and I tried to convince our selves. We got to the park where the dog park is located and had a long walk first. It was fun to watch all the people in the park enjoying the good weather. Playing soccer and baseball and whatever.

Coco seemed to enjoy it as well. As long as he did not have to face any dogs. He is really not a dog-liking dog for some reason. He enjoys people-friends much more than dog-friends. In fact, he only have people-friends.

   

Then we went to the dog park. The first thing that happens is that I make a mistake of sitting down. And Coco takes the opportunity to jump up into my lap before any dog can get near him. I stand up and he slides miserable down to stand by himself.

We walk across the dog park and he runs after us and hides between Chie’s boots. Just before we are leaving another dog is coming up to sniff Coco. Coco tries to get away and finally hides in Chie’s lap. The other dog barks and wags his tail as if saying “come and play with me” and “what is wrong with you?”.

Anyway, Coco is happy once we leave the dog park to visit a cafe where they accept dogs. There we have hot chocolate, coconuts ice cream and a dog ice cream for Coco.

In the evening we have Chinese dinner at home. Mabu-nasu and sweet chili shrimps. Really great!
