Coco’s Second Birthday

On Saturday morning Chie and I went to Tokorozawa for a 3 days long weekend (Monday is a national holiday in Japan). We also wanted to play with Coco and celebrate his second birthday.

We celebrated Coco by having sashimi and sushi for dinner. Hand rolled sushi with hamachi, maguro (tuna), chu-toro (medium fatty tuna), and o-toro (fatty tuna) sushi. And many other dishes.

After dinner Coco got his birthday cake. He was so happy. Usually he always want to be with Chie. Preferably resting in her arms while being carried around. Now he did not care about her at all. Just the cake.

Dog Park

One thing that Coco-chan does not like is, for some reason, the dog park. It’s a fenced area in a big park where small dogs can run around without a leash. And another fenced area next to it where big dogs can run around. The thing is that Coco-chan is a chicken. He is so scared of the other dogs.

Still we bring him there to train him to be around other dogs. At first we let him loose but he looked so lost. And then some small dogs ran to him to say hello and he got scared and ran in to a corner to hide. So we put the leash on him so that… Well he could not run away. But it also made him a bit calmer.

After a short while though we decided to take a walk in the real park instead. Coco-chan seemed pleased with our decision. Until we met a small white fluffy puppy of probably not more than a few months. Jsut half the size of Coco-chan or maybe a third. Still Coco-chan got scared.

In the evening we had Chinese food at home. Mabu-tofu and deep fried chicken with a chili sweet and sour sauce. Yummy!

Visiting Coco-chan in Tokorozawa

It’s finally weekend again. Chie and I woke up and got ready to leave for Tokorozawa. We were going to visit Coco-chan, the cutest toy poodle in the Universe. He just loves Chie. He always follow her everywhere. And his favorite place is sitting on her sholder, when she is in a reclining chair, with his feet over the back of the chair.

Coco and Chie

Arriving in Tokorozawa we played with Coco-chan for a while. And then we went to AU to change Chie’s and her mother’s cellular phones. We brought Coco-chan in the car, because he likes to drive. But it was really hard work. We ended up with a new guy at the AU that took such a long time to do anything. After three hours we had finish so much that we could leave the store for 30 minutes and then the last phone would be ready.

So we walked around with Coco-chan. And walked. And walked. And after 30 minutes we were back at AU. But the last phone was not ready. So we went home instead. And planned to pick up the phone tomorrow. We went to Musashi for dinner instead. It was great food. I had so much I had to roll back home.
