I've been neglecting updates for a while, but I've been quite busy since the TV program about terraced rice fields aired.
Lily is a very good girl.
I was able to relax with Lily in the afternoon for the first time in a while.
Sometimes she'll be sleeping at Lily's feet after her night shift, and other times she'll come and sleep beside me; it's as if she doesn't want to leave my side for a single moment.
However, she doesn't seem to mind being left alone, and if I say "Wait," she'll wait patiently. If I walk towards the front door, she'll sit on the sofa and wait. She makes a face like 'Is Daddy still not back?', but she behaves well until I return from the toilet.
Also, he doesn't bark when the doorbell rings or when the mailman comes, and he doesn't run to the front door. If I'm busy with work and can't play with him even when he brings out toys, he'll play by himself and then go back to sleep.
It would be sacrilegious to ask for anything more from someone as well-behaved as Lily.
