I'm back!
Welcome home.
I placed the towel for wiping his paws right over there.
Thanks!
Alright, Samo, lemme see your paws so I can clean them.
No, wait! I'm not finished!
Lift up your hind legs for me again.
Okay, Samo, you can come in now.
Woof!
He must've played quite a lot.
How was Shibao? Is he doing well?
Yeah, he was full of energy!
But he did seem to put on a little weight.
His vet apparently even said that he needs to exercise more.
Oh, I see...
So, did he get a good workout today?
Yeah, we exercised a ton!
You had fun doing disc dog today, right, Samo?
Pant...! Pant...!
Huh? Disc dog? Does that mean you threw a flying disc around and had him catch it?
Yeah, so...!
What if Max knows that you're hurt...?
I think he's staying put because he doesn't want you to keep throwing that disc...
Oh, so...
He doesn't want to fetch the disc because he doesn't want to force his partner to keep throwing it?
Wait, would it be possible for Max and I to enter into that competition...?!
Huh...?
What?! You're going to take his place, Minori?
Wait, I haven't finished...!
I wanted to take his place in the competition, but I had so much trouble getting the disc to fly straight...
Which is where Kohane's friend, Shinonome, comes in... Even though he doesn't really like dogs, he said he'd participate.
Oh, he doesn't like dogs? Is he going to be okay...?
I was a little worried too...
But he's become friends with Max after practicing lots and lots together. Now, he has no trouble taking the disc back!
I see. That's good to hear...
Oh, also...
That competition's tomorrow!
I'm gonna go cheer Shinonome and Max on, then head over to work and...
*Yawn*
That's weird... I slept really well last night...
You must be tired after all that activity. Why don't you get some rest before heading out again?
Yeah, maybe I should...
Night...
Minori? Wouldn't you rather sleep in your room...?
*Mumble*
Oh, you...
Alright, let's get you a blanket...
*Mumble*
*Whimper*
Hm? What's wrong, Samo...?
Do you wanna sleep with me...?
Okay. Come here, boy.
Woof...!
Hehe...
You're like a big, fluffy body pillow...
Good night, Samo...
Oh, Samo also fell asleep...
Hehe. It's nice that you two love each other so much, but you're going to catch a cold if you're not careful.
Okay, that should do it.
Sleep tight, Minori, Samo.
Shamo... Go...
Woof...
