Scruffy The Legend

Dear Charlie and Ruby

 

Thank you for your letter!

 

Of course, we welcome Ruby as an honorary cousin!

(Leo)

I was born on September 9, 2002!(In Tokyo)

(Jade)

I was born on January 18, 2004.(In Tokyo)

 

We both came to mommy’s house when we were about 2 months old.

We live in the city of Tokyo.

 

Yeah, my mom told us a lot about Scruffy. He is a very famous Keeshond !

 

We are not sure how many keeshond are living in Japan right now.

We will ask my mom and let you know next time.

Keeshond is very rare breed.　Not many people know our breed.

When we were puppy, people asked my mom whether we were raccoon dog!

 

Oh, we may have a gathering on March 1^st if the weather is fine.

 My mom will be taking many pictures as always! She will post them on her blog so that you can see!

We have a gathering a few times a year! It is very fun to meet our mom, dad, grandparents, cousin, brothers and sisters!

 

During this week, every day was rainy day.

 

Spring will be coming soon and the weather will be nice.

We prefer cold winter, too. We do not have snow in Tokyo. May be we have a few times a year, but it is very rare, so we do not even know how we can enjoy snow.

 

(Leo)

I think that was 2 or 3 years ago. We had about a ten-centimeter snowfall.

Mom took me for a walk but I could not even walk. My feet were cold.. I just did not know what to do with snow.

 

(Jade)

I was not that afraid! I just looked up at the above and ate snow! No taste but it was not that bad. May be I should have brought some strawberry syrup.

 

The summer in Japan, very hot and humid

We all hate these season (the end of May to the end of September)

 

 

Do you like eating?  We just love eating! We will do anything to get treat from mom.

When she has enough time, she bakes something for us.

We wonder what kinds of treats you guy get and what kind of treats are popular in the U.S.

Mom told us that there were recalls in the U.S lately. She was saying that was peanuts butter cream biscuit. If your dad knows about these recalls related doggy food and treats, you can ask for us.

 

We usually go for a long walk at night, around 21:30.

Mom gets back from her work around 19:30 and has to prepare a dinner for human and for us. It is safe to go out for a walk at night. There are still many people walking on streets here in Tokyo. Maybe we can talk about dog walk next time!

 

Your cousin

Hi Leo and Jade,

 

My name is Charlie.  I live in a small town in New Jersey, USA, about 20 miles west of New York city.  I was adopted about 2 months ago.  I used to live in Massachusetts and then in the Bronx, a part of New York City.  My new daddy told me about you, but only seemed to know that you were both Keeshonds living in Japan.  He reads your mom’s blog (http://keeleojay.blog64.fc2.com/ ) about you every day to me, but does not understand Japanese.  He has tried the automatic translators, but says they are of little help.  My daddy was also Scruffy’s daddy.  Ruby (my new Beagle sister) tells me that if you are Keeshonds, you probably heard of Scruffy.  I am not so sure.   I do know that we are all cousins since we are Keeshonds.  Ruby says she also wants to be our cousin.  Maybe we can let her be an honorary cousin, if that’s OK with you guys.  She does make a strange looking Keeshond – but nobody’s perfect.

 

Please tell me about yourselves.  Were you born in Japan?  Are there many Keeshonds in Japan? Do you live in Tokyo?  Do you live right in the city or a suburb? What season is it there now?  I ask a lot of questions – maybe  that’s enough for now.

 

We are just at the end of winter, it is getting warmer and the snow is gone.  We had snow on the ground all winter long and it was very cold.  I like the cold.  Snow is fun too.

 

I know you guys understand Japanese and probably not much English, so you will have to ask your mom to translate for you.

 

Your cousin,

Charlie
