The unknown kind turned out to be...

"Lady" (We just named her) in Koh Samui
サムイ島にて”レディー”(勝手に名付けた)
"Unknown" in Ishigaki island
石垣島で”名無しさん”

”Genki? -How are you?"

I got a line message last night from a good friend from Melbourne, Australia. It was a good timing because I was just searching the flight fare trying to find a possibility to see him again after a while.

He says that it has been almost 10 years since his last visit in Japan. While his 3 year life in Osaka, we used to go to cafe, or do strolling around in the town quite a lot whenever we had time. For me, he was one of few foreigners whom I felt relaxed to be with. He was just a kind of "At his own pace" person" same as me.
He just started feeling to go to Okinawa because he saw a tourism program featuring Okinawa.

We were further talking abut life in general, and I said to him, "I would like to have a dog if everything is settled in future. I already have my ideal future photo". He asked me to show the photo, and I did. The dogs I came across at 2 different places. "Lady" and "Ms. Unknown". I thought it was just a hybrid kind, but the answer from him was simple.

"Ah, this is an Australian Kelpie"

"Eh, is it!?"

I looked it up on the internet, and it seems to be definitely Australian Kelpie.

Now I found out what kind of dog I really need to have in future.

I felt good know!

”元気?”と昨晩オーストラリアのメルボルンの友人からラインが届いていた。こうして時間ができたんだから、ちょっと会いに行こうかなとネットでチケットの金額を調べていた矢先だった。

話をしていると、最後に日本に来たのは10年前だそうだ。彼が大阪で3年間生活をしていた頃は、休みが合えばお互いお茶するか、大阪の街を徘徊をしていた。一番、気を使わなくていい外国人で、自分の感覚に近い外国人だった。要は、マイペース。沖縄の特集をやってる番組を見たそうで、行きたくなってきたらしい。

できれば、全部落ち着いたら犬を飼える環境に目指したいと話した。理想の犬は決まって、写真はあるんだけどと話したら見せてほしいと。2つの異なった場所で偶然出会った2匹。レディと名無しさん。てっきり雑種かなとずっと思っててたんだけど、意外と簡単な答えが返ってきた。

”これオーストラリアンケルピー”だよ”と・・・”

”えっ、そうなの!?”

と、調べてみるとやっぱりそうみたい。

これで、やっと自分の未来の相棒の犬種がわかった。

すっきり!
