learning tricks 芸の道


it's raining today. mom went to work. so my dad taught me some tricks. i like learning tricks because i have a chance to get a lot of treats. today's trick was "to stay" - it is always a combination with "sit." because i can already do "sit," (yes!) i mainly practiced how to stay. my house has a very long hallway, so dad used that space for training. i want to tell you a secret - my dad is a lot more strict than my mom. sometimes, i just want to lay low and rest and bite my toys, but i tried really hard to make my dad proud (and earn more treats). my dad was reporting the process of training to mom on the phone. my mom called my name on the phone, and i didn't know where she was calling from... i couldn't help turning my head. when mom told me to sit, i did! i am a good boy!! oh, my dad is going to the gym now, so i can take a nap for a while...

after mom came home, i performed what i learned today. mom was very happy to see my new tricks. maybe when i go to her office next time, i can show off and get more belly rub! ohhhh, just thinking of that makes me smile.

chubu walked: 8 time (record high! thank you mom and dad)
chubu peed: 8 times
chubu pooped: 3 times
chubu practiced the tricks: 1 hour... wow!

今日は雨だ。アヤコが仕事に出かけたあと、アーロンがぼくに芸を教えてくれたんだー。芸の道はキビシいー!でもうまくいくとおやつがたくさんもらえるのがいいところだなも。ぼくはもうおすわりはできるから、今日は「待て』の練習をしたんだぎゃー。内緒だけど、アーロンはアヤコよりキビシいんだよ。時々、あーもう休んでおもちゃでもかじっていたいと思うこともあるんだけどがんばったよ!(おやつのためにね!)アーロンはアヤコに電話でぼくのお稽古を実況中継してた。電話からアヤコが「おすわり!』って言うのが聞こえたから、ちゃんとおすわりしたんだよ。すごいがね!!



アヤコが帰ってきてから、今日のお稽古の成果を見せたのだ。アヤコはうれしそうだったねー。じゃあ今度アヤコの会社に行くときは、ぼくの芸を披露してもっとみんなにほめてもらおう!あー、考えただけでヨダレが出ちゃう。

今日の散歩:8回(最高記録に並んでまったがね、、、。たくさん散歩してくれてありがとー)
今日のオシッコ:8回
今日のウンチ:3回
今日のお稽古:1時間。よくがんばった!

close encounters of the cat kind 猫との遭遇


i had a close encounters of the cat kind today. OMG!!! i met two cats today at oliver & britta's apartment. they are so strange! they walk so quietly, i didn't even know they were so close to me and staring at me. they seem to speak a different language, but i liked them. i hope that i can be friends with them.

oh, before i met the cats, dad's friend chris came over. he gave me a lot of love. he is now one of my human friend.


then, i attended the co-op meeting tonight. it was very important for me to be there. i met all the people in the building for the first time, and they all gave me belly rub and kisses. i was disappointed that no one gave me any pizza, though. i really wanted to become a presidnet of the board, but i didn't because i was a little too young. my suggestion for the board is to have some treats for the building. i always have great ideas when it comes to eating. maybe next time i'll be nominated to have some title...

chubu walked: 6 times
chubu peed: 8 times (miracle wee wee pad made me peed 3 times on it!)
chubu pooped: 4 times (even when i'm hungry, i pooped. don't know why)
chubu napped: 4 times

今日はすっごい体験をしたのだ。なんとなんと!猫という生き物に会ったんだー。猫ってなんじゃこりゃー(松田優作風。古い?)!?足音がしないもんだから、近くまで来てじっと見つめられてるのに気付かんくってびっくりしたよ。ちょっとねー、言葉が通じなさそうな感じがしたけど、猫もけっこういいやつらなのかもしれんね。友達になれるといいねー。

おっと、猫に出会う前にアーロンの親友のクリスが家に来たんだって。いい人じゃーん。いっぱいなでてもらってよかったよ。

今日の夜はとっても大事なアパートの住民の会議があったから出席してきた。ここに住んでる人全員に会えたし、出席してよかったなもー。本当は住民会議の議長になりたかったけど、ちょっとぼくじゃ若すぎるかなと思ってやめた。そのかわり、アーロンが副議長になったんだがね。いよっ、副議長!ぼくとしてはねー、このアパートに共同の犬のおやつを置くのはどうかと思う。いい考え!食べることに関しちゃ、ぼくはけっこうこだわるからさー。まあ議長に立候補するのは次の機会ということで、、、。


今日の散歩:6回
今日のオシッコ:8回(パッドにつれられて3回もしちゃったよ。すごいねー)
今日のウンチ:4回(全然おなか空いてないときにも出た。なんでだろー?)
今日の昼寝:4回

dog run! ドッグラン!


it's been a week since i came to my mom & dad's. today is saturday, so they took me to the dog run for the first time. it was so fun and i got so excited!! i played with a white poodle, a beagle, and some other bigger dog friends. just so you know, i can run really fast! the crazy poodle jumped on me so many times, so i pretended to be subservient. all the human friends gave me so much belly rub whenever i rolled over, that was a good bonus of pretending subservient. as i got super excited, i forgot who my mom and dad were and i didn't go to them when they called me. dad was a bit sad. i ran so much, i'm so exhausted now...

when we came home, mom gave me a bath because i was so dusty. i love being wet and smell like a wet dog because i feel so adult! i can't shake my body so well yet, but i tried... after the nice bath, it's a nap time! i love napping so much. i'm so good at snoring!

by the way, today is mom & dad's anniversary. they are going out for dinner soon. i expect them to bring back some steak pieces for me. they told me how nice hawaii was. i hope i can go there sometime.

chubu walked: 6 times (also ran as fast as possible with my short legs)
chubu peed: 8 times (twice at the dog run and twice on the wee wee pad. yaaay!)
chubu pooped: 3 times (well done!)
chubu napped: the whole time after the dog run adventure

アヤコとアーロンのところにきてからちょうど1週間。今日はドッグランに連れてってもらった。すごい楽しいとこだがね!プードルやビーグルやほかのもっと大きい犬と遊んだ。言っとくけど、ぼく走るの早いんだよ。プードルのやつ、何度もぼくに飛びかかってきたから負けたふりしてやったんだー。負けるが勝ちって言うけど、ほんとだね。いやー、今日はめちゃ走ったから疲れたにー。

家に帰ってからはお風呂に入った。昼間っからお風呂なんて最高だがねー。贅沢な気分だね。お風呂のあとはお昼寝に決まりだに。あーもう、犬冥利につきるね。イビキだってぐーぐーかいちゃうもんね。


ところで今日はアヤコとアーロンの結婚記念日らしいよ。ステーキのはしっこくらい、お留守番のぼくに持って帰ってきてほしいね。二人はハワイで結婚したんだけど、ハワイっていいとこなんだね。いつか行ってみてゃーもんだね。

今日の散歩:6回
今日のオシッコ:8回(ドッグランで2回したし、パッドの上でも2回したもんねー)
今日のウンチ:3回
今日の昼寝:ドッグランで走ったあとは一日中寝てた。しあわせー。

first day of work 初出勤



today, i'm at work with mom. this is my first time to come to soho! i forgot to pee before i went into her office, so i peed on the wee wee pad. there are so many people in this office and they all gave me a lot of belly rub. that felt good. all morning i helped mom typing emails and drawing on a computer. it seems that there is something wonderful/yummy on the other side of the office and i pulled mom to walk me there. i saw more people and more belly rub.

then, we walked to "la esquina" to get lunch. there was a small park in front of it, and i pooped and peed there. mom was very happy and gave me some treats. i think i have a good vibe with that park. and the whole park smelled like yummy mexican food. i don't know what mexican is, though...



after lunch is my nap time. i took a good nap under mom's desk. i also played with finn, the cutest 3 year old boy. i'm so proud today for my work and good poop in the park.

chubu walked: 4 times so far
chubu peed: 3 times
chubu pooped: once
chubu napped: 2 times


今日はアヤコの会社に来とるんだよー。ソーホーには初めて来たけど、いい人がいっぱいいたね。会社に来る前は興奮してオシッコするの忘れちゃったけど、ここについてからちゃんとパッドの上でしたのだ。偉いがねー。会社の人たちがいっぱいおなかをなでてくれてうれしかった。パソコンもしたし、絵も描いたし、めちゃよく働いたよ。

お昼ごはんは近くのメキシコ料理屋さんに行った。前に公園があったから、そこでトイレした!ソーホーってけっこういいとこだがねー。オフィスに帰ってきてからはお昼寝の時間じゃー。かばんの中で寝たけど、けっこう寝心地よかったね。そのあとフィンっていう名前の男の子がオフィスに来たから一緒に遊んだのだ。ぼくが人間だったら同じくらいの年だと思うけど、めちゃかわいかったねー。今日はいい一日だった。僕ってスゴいじゃん!



今日の散歩:いまのところ4回
今日のオシッコ:3回(そのうち1回はパッドの上でした!偉い!!)
今日のうんち:1回
今日の昼寝:2回

frog face friend かえる顔の友達


my mom and dad think that i have a frog face. i don't know what frog is, so i don't know if they are right. do you think i have a frog face? i wonder if there's any french bulldogs who are not like frogs. when my mom and i were walking this evening, i met a smaller french bulldog. she was a pied girl who was only 3 month old. she was so small. was i ever that small? i don't remember. on the way back from the walk, i was so excited and i pulled mom so much and she got upset. she didn't give me any treat. i just wanted to smell someone else's poop... there are a lot of good pooper in this neighborhood. my mom and dad don't want me eating those poops.

chubu walked: 7 times started from 5:30am
chubu peed: 6 times
chubu pooped: 3 times! (i pooped at 5:30am! yaay!)

アヤコとアーロンは、いつもぼくのことかえる顔だって言う。なんだー?かえるって何なのかよくわからんけど、みんなもそう思う?今日の夕方の散歩してるとき、ちっちゃーいフレンチブルドッグの女の子に会った。色は白と黒のぶち柄で、まだ3ヶ月なんだって。すっげー小さかった。その散歩からの帰り道、ぼくは興奮してアヤコをいっぱい引っ張っちゃった。もっとゆっくり!って何回も怒られたんだよー。家に帰ってもクッキーもくれんかった。あーあ。ぼくはなんでか知らないけど、ほかの犬のウンチが気になってしょうがないんだよねー。

今日の散歩:7回(朝は5時半から始まる。はやっ!)
今日のオシッコ:6回
今日のウンチ:3回!(朝5時半の散歩のときにもした!すっきり!)

hello, i'm chubu こにちわ、チュウブです


hello everyone.
my name is chubu. i am a 6-month-old, french bulldog boy. i was named after the area in japan where my mom's from. my dad and mom wanted me to start a blog to keep track of my eating, walking, and going to bathroom schedule because i had a few "accidents." i hope you enjoy my peeing & pooping diary!


みなさん こにちわ。ぼくチュウブです。ぼくはフレンチブルドッグで、今6ヶ月です。ぼくの名前はアヤコの出身地、中部地方からつけられました。ぼくの体はチューブに似てるからぴったりだと思うのです。このブログはアヤコとアーロンが、自分のトイレトレーニングの記録をつけるために始めるように、って言ったから始めました。ぼくはアヤコとアーロンのところに来てからまだ1週間目だから、ここがどういうところかまだよくわからないけど、がんばってトイレトレーニングするぞー。

chubu walked: 8 times(!) (thank you mejos to walk me so many times!)
chubu peed: 7 times
chubu pooped: 2 times - 1 giant accident at home!
