| Cavalier Lily's DiaryLily's Smiling Faces Special 1/12 (2018/01/06) |
I've compiled a collection of photos of Lily smiling, who passed away on July 15, 2012.
Seeing photos of people smiling brightly and looking directly at the camera is very soothing.
Since there are so many photos, this will be a 12-part series.

Lily's mom is listening to Lily's heartbeat with the stethoscope she uses for work.
I took out the stethoscope my mom used for work.
When I listened to Lily's heartbeat, it was very strong but fast, and I heard the sound 'Tokutokutoku'.
This reminded me of a book called 'Elephant time, mouse time'.

I took Lily to the pet hotel at my regular vet's office.
To prevent the trauma of being left behind, I walked instead of using the car or my outing bag.
However, Lily wagged her tail at the nurse and obediently followed 'Let's go, Lily.'.
I was stunned by how abrupt the farewell was.

Lily's prank.
As usual, when I checked my webcam from work, I saw that someone had somehow managed to get the toilet paper and tore it to shreds.
I couldn't go home until evening, so all I could do was watch.
When I got home, I couldn't bring myself to scold Lily, who was sitting so nicely, so I just started cleaning up.

'Welcome home, Daddy.'

I participated in a taro stew party in Yamagata.
A taro stew party was held in Yamagata City today.
Our event has been going on for 16 years. The young participants have grown up, having children, grandchildren, and more.
It's a gathering that only happens once a year, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Hana-chan and Lily. They were told they look very alike, so they took a commemorative photo.

Hitsujiyama Park, Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture (April 20, 2005)
I took several trains to get to Seibu Chichibu Station.
Lily is used to traveling and behaves well on the train.
I sat Lily on the hill, moved to a spot far away, and took a shot with my telephoto lens.
I waited for a moment when there were no people around.

A gallery featuring 'Where could the owner be?' and Lily.
They don't notice because they're using a telephoto lens.
