We just realised that Mom's not just getting fat, she's got a baby inside her! We heard her telling the neighbours. I think Mugi suspected something long ago. She's been more attached to Mom recently, crying and whining when Mom is downstairs or in her room, separated from us. Come to think of it, I should have known. Just look at the signs!
- Slower walks than usual. Fewer walks too; Dad takes us more often nowadays.
- Getting angrier than usual when Hop is a little too boisterous around her.
- That big stomach of hers! It moves sometimes, like in this video. We can even hear noises in there from time to time.
The baby's still not due until late August, so it will be a long while more until Mom can take us out for long walks again. Maybe it'll be the THREE of us this time!

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
A brief rainy spell in Sapporo really got Dad down. He hates taking us out for walks when it rains, since we get easily confused about our usual peeing and pooing spots, and take longer than usual. It's also a hassle for Dad to dry us up from the rain.
These days Dad makes us wear a raincoat if it rains. Mugi's raincoat was a hand-me-down gift from a neighbour's GR who had outgrown it, and I must say she looks really cool and sporty in it. Dad bought a new one for Hop, but he looks kinda stupid in it sometimes, unfortunately.

Have you ever seen a UFO?
"Have you ever seen a UFO?"
Mom's been teaching her students about the present perfect in English grammar, and we've heard several of her students practice asking and answering this question several times already. Each time, we'd like to shout a resounding "YES! Right here at home!" 「我が家に変なやつがやってきたぞ！」
You see, last weekend, Dad took this "thing" out of a box and suddenly, IT CAME ALIVE! It's a saucer-shaped object with rotating wing-like brushes and made this loud whooshing noise as it scurried around the living room floor. It kept bumping into things too, and sucked up all the dirt and our hair on the floor. At first we thought it would play with us, but it just ignored us and went on its way. After a while Hop got frustrated and started yapping at it in a embarrassingly whimpy voice, but still the "thing" just carried on going and whooshing. Now it's a permanent member of our family, coming alive every morning and going back to sleep after an hour or so.
(We can't understand it, but Mom and Dad seemed very pleased to see this weird-looking UFO running around the house. 不思議でしょうがない…)

Sick again (sob sob) また病気だ。
Diarrhoea again. :-(
Why does this happen?
It must be hard on Mom to have to take us to the vet so often. She seems so easily tired these days. Worse, Hop has to go to the toilet every three hours or so.She and Dad woke up four times in the night to clean up his poo. At 2am, I think Dad was almost crying in frustration...
(Maybe it's the hot weather thats's bringing us down. 早く治りたいな。)
On the bright side, Mum made us some new toys out of yellow and red felt and we had a good time playing tug-of-war with them. In the evening Dad played with us using the toys and we had a nice time . The next day, we felt much better!
