My dog is getting fat.

Come to think of it, I've been really busy recently, so I often skipped walking her.

I took her for a walk this morning for the first time in weeks.

She walked at a slow pace and looked happy to get some fresh air.

I think health of pets is as important as that of their owners.

部屋をせっせと片づけていると、大昔に書いたメモが出てきた。

確かNHKの英語番組を見て書き取った記憶が・・・・

この分だとまたどこかに紛れること間違いないので、記録しておきます。
