自己紹介
Self Introduction

ボクが今の父さんと母さんのところに来たのはボクが生後２週間の時だったんだ。犬をいらない人たちと犬が欲しい人たちが集まる公園が神奈川県座間市にあって、まだ母さんの手のひらに乗るくらい小さかったボクは、これから冬に向かおうという10月半ばに、震えながら新しいお家に行ったんだよ。くしゃみばかりしているボクのために母さんは湯たんぽを買ってきて、ダンボールの箱で暖かいベッドを作ってくれた。その日からボクは子供のいない二人の家族になったんだ。

今日から家族の仲間入り。宜しくネ！	ねえねえ早くお散歩に行こうよ。
I am a new member of the family now. Please look after me.	Dad, Mum, I'm ready to go for a walk.



I came to my present parents' house when I was 2 weeks old. There was a park in Zama, Kanagawa prefecture, where people who didn't want their dog and those who wanted one could meet. I was so tiny that I could sit on my mum's palm, and came to the new house in　 mid-October when winter was not so far away. I felt cold and ofen sneezed, so Mum bought me a hot water bottle, and made me a warm bed of a cardboard box. Since then, I have been a member of the family of the two who have no children
これまでに９回お引越しした。イギリスにだって行ったんだよ。今は東京の郊外の狛江に住んでいるんだ。多摩川まで歩いていけるよ。でもね、ボクはもう１７歳、お散歩するのも楽じゃないの。足の裏にもイボイボができて歩くと痛いし後ろ足と腰がめっきり弱くなったのですぐ転んじゃうんだ。獣医さんはもうそろそろ覚悟をしておいたほうがいいって母さんに言ったらしいよ。でもボクは生きたいんだ。少しでも長く、父さん､母さんと一緒にいたいんだ。

I've moved 9 times. I've been to England as well. Now I live in Komae, Tokyo. I could walk to the River Tama. But I am already 17 years old, and it's not easy for me to walk any more. I have several warts on my feet, and they hurt when I walk. My joints ache as well. I easily fall as the muscles in my back paws have weakened a lot. The vet seems to have told Mum that I could die at any moment now. Nevertheless, I want to live. I want to be with my dad and mum as long as possible.
