I think the dog, Taro, has been a great ice-breaker. I love dogs and Taro is very sweet. He can do some simple tricks like high-five and sit up tall and balance on his hind legs. During meals, he sits next to the table and begs with a funny-sounding voice. Okaasan is pretty strict about not feeding him from the table, but Otoosan is a softie!
When we go for a walk, Taro-chan can be left outside of a shop without being tied up -- Okaasan just tells him "matte" and he waits until we come back and doesn`t run away. When we get back from a walk, Okaasan carries him into the house, straight to the washroom, and washes his feet (because he doesn`t have shoes to take off.) She is pretty diligent about keeping outside ground/inside ground separate.

Thank you for the Father's Day wishes. I was wondering if Father's Day was honored in Japan. Please give greetings to Okaasan and Otoosan from John and Vera and a belly rub for Taro.
Sore inu wa kawakunai, demo "The Rattling" boragu wa totemo kawaii desu yo.
if i didn't know better, i would think brad billy gibson wrote a comment on this blog just now.
Kawaii desu ne!
Ask your host family what sound a dog makes? They have funny onomatopoeias there.
Ganbate!
How do you think Taro and Indi would get along? Would Taro chase the tennis ball? Be okay with Indi's running circles? I'm left only to imagine...
