Tom: The heading of today's post is in reply to one of the comments to yesterday's post, asking why I alone did not have the suffix "chan" after my name. For those who may have forgotten, "chan" is used in Japan as a suffix for small and cute persons, mostly girls, but also particularly cute small boys. So, Sen and Tama are both "chans." I am of course very cute but not exactly small, weighing in as I do at just over 26 kilos (that would be 57+ pounds). So, the appropriate Japanese suffix would in fact be "kun." If any of you have noticed comments on our posts from a doggie called
Matilda who lives in Northern Japan, you may have noticed she calls me that already! Needless to say, you can also do as #1 does and call me Tommy!
Here is a picture of me looking sporty and dashing:
And here is one of my soft side!
Sen-Chan: I am exhausted! That little girl wants to play tag all day! And she is really quick, and really sneaky, and she can get into places and under places I can't get to anymore. And.... as soon as I grab her, she screams, and screams and screams! I need to rest...
Tama-Chan: Now that Big Red is resting, what can I get up to next?
