Choco’s First Shampoo

Posted on by sonokotchi

A strong Typhoon 24 is approaching Tokyo.

I was hoping somebody will cancel grooming today so that I can get a slot.

I was so happy when I received a call at 11 am today for 3 pm slot.

I happily took it; but there was a catch.

The store, Green Dog, is located at Tokyo Midtown Roppongi, a shopping complex.

Usually shops are opened till 9 pm.

However, today Tokyo Midtown Roppongi decoded ti close at 5 pm.

Perhaps, because JR (Japan Railway: major train operator) decided to stop operation at 8 pm.

Customers and even staffs won’t have transportation to go back home after 8 pm.

This is very unlikely for Tokyo to shut down train because of typhoon.

As such, Choco won’t be able to finish his hair cut.

He got shampoo, nail care, ear care and some hair cut, just to cut unnecessary long hair around eye and mouth area.

Though this is his first time, he looked he was doing okay.

But if I look carefully; his body was shaking.

Unfortunately, it’s incomplete.

You will look more handsome on Thursday.

I bought you more toys (well, it’s more replacement because he ruined toys) and food.

You deserve these for being Good Boy.

Refreshing Saturday

Posted on by sonokotchi

To my surprise, I woke up feeling VERY fresh.

My body was over tired from event last week and I participated B-Monster last night.

BUT I woke up VERY fresh.

I think B-Monster contribute to detox mentally and physically greatly.

I highly recommend B-Monster.

As long as loud EDM music is played, I can keep on jumping. hahaha

I took precautious measure so I went to spa for a maintenance today.

On the other hand, Choco had a play mate for three days because Mom stayed with us two nights.

He was busy playing not having enough sleep so he is busy catching up sleep.

Typhoon 24 is approaching Japan and it might hit Japan from south to north tomorrow.

We are warmed to stay in tomorrow.

Both of us (Choco and I) plan to relax at home tomorrow.

b-monster Ebisu Studio

Posted on by sonokotchi

I was irritated by my boss so I ate too much confectioneries.

I punched out at 17:10hrs to participate in 18:05 hrs class at Ebisu Studio.

It was fun, though equipment is different from Ginza Studio.

I pinched drum look like set.

I could not take a photo tonight so I am taking a photo of equipment from the web.

Oh I wish I have a body like her.

I enjoyed it tonight.

Tully’s Seasonal Drink: Nutty Caramel Apple Latte

Posted on by sonokotchi

I faced a problem with my external drive; I cannot access to it.

I saved all my works in this external hard drive so that I need to access it badly.

I went to see my friend who is system engineer for help after office.

While he was diagnosing the external drive, I calmed myself with a cup of coffee: Nutty Caramel Apple Latte for Halloween.

My external drive was admitted; he needs to run the recovery software to save it.

Amen

Gift Rush

Posted on by sonokotchi

I was away to manage the project outside of office for a week.

When I returned to the office on Tuesday, I found two packages on my desk. (Yellow Box was inside of white paper bag).

In the yellow boxes, there are many nice confectioneries from Palace Hotel Tokyo.

In a gift paper bag, there are coffee and cooking ingredients from Malaysia.

Then my friend gave me special moon cakes (varieties of lotus paste moo cakes) from Malaysia because 24 September was moon cake festival.

So nice of them and touched!

Thank you for Mr. K, Mr. Z and Ms. T!

XOXO

Reservation at b-monster Ebisu Studio

Posted on by sonokotchi

I just finished my project.

It went well and I’m glad to know that participants are all happy.

Now it’s my time to tune up.

I received a half price trial ticket from my last trial participation.

I decide to use this Friday at Ebisu Studio.

I need to study basic boxing moves which is available on YouTube before my participation.

Last time, I didn’t watch this video, meaning I wasn’t prepared…?

Well, I enjoyed the lesson; that’s all counts.

I look forward for this Friday trial lesson!

Exposing Choco

Posted on by sonokotchi

It was Choco’s class.

He must be tired after the lesson; I was. LOL

He doesn’t like to wear the harness so I started the class with struggle.

He and I tried and experienced many things.

After the class, he drank water busily.

I want him to learn that harness brings him fun; when he wears it, he can go out together.

It is Autumn and harvest festival season.

When I went out to get groceries, I saw Omikoshi (people carry God’s temporary shrine or shall I call it Car); I rushed back home to put harness on him then went down.

After watching Omikoshi, I put him down to a walk.

First, he didn’t move.

It took him a while to start walking for few meters.

Yes. Surely he was tired; we took a nap together at the couch.

At night, I took him to a walk again.

I hope he would become to like wearing the harness soon.

Sunday For Choco

Posted on by sonokotchi

When I show him his carrying bag, he gets so excited to go in; it makes my preparation easy.

We went to the clinic to get his shot for rabies at Green Dog Tokyo Midtown Roppongi.

Yes, this my regular shop to buy his products.

It’s conveniently located near my apartment and it has facilities of shop, clinic, pet hotel and grooming (beauty salon).

I bought a treat pouch and foldable cup here.

I’m using this treat pouch for basic training at home now.

I can clip it on my clothes so I can treat him any time; it is washable because it’s made by silicon; and it can close automatically because there is a magnet.

He is smart, but I learned I need to be patient not to confuse him.

Training School

Posted on by sonokotchi

So cute of him to go in himself!

Choco knows he can go out if he goes in this bag!!!

I’m glad that he enjoys going out with me.

Choco and I attended a briefing for Training School: Familina Garden, Minami Aoyama.

We decided to take lessons and Choco would have four school mates.

We will start our class next week.

I bought a crate at my regular pet shop, Green Dog Tokyo Midtown Roppongi Store for him because he would need it there and other places.

He likes it.

He was totally relaxing by lying down inside of it at the shop.

It was a busy morning so I went to spa to unwind my body while he is taking a nap.
