Puppy update

[gekidazejanai]

 Well, while I'm still ticked I missed meeting Salty's litter in person, I am glad I can look online and see them. At nine days old, they'll be opening their eyes soon, which is awesome. Moose, ever the protective dad, keeps camping out on top of the den, which is neat of him. Since I'm still waiting on them to finish the enclosures for the Honshu pair and the Hokkaido pair, there's not a lot for me to do at work right now. Aside from getting them used to me, that is. Still working on names for the four, we're debating posing a contest online so people can suggest names for them. I think that would be cool, but I'm also still trying to talk the zoo into installing cameras in the exhibits for people to follow online. It would get more of the public involved and interested in the four of them.

Wolves, wow! Those red wolves are beautiful! And Honshu and Hokkaido...I thought there weren't any of those left?

[gekidazejanai]

Ch-Choutarou?!!! You ass, you never told me you're alive! >.> It's not like my parents changed their phone number, they'd have told you my email. >.>

Yeah, the reds are really pretty. So few are in the wild, too, it's sad.

Yeah, that's what everyone thought! It was pretty groundbreaking to find populations for both, considering the last known Hokkaido died in 1889, and the last known Honshu died in 1905. I'm stoked to get to work with them. The Honshus are so tiny, too!

[damagedviolin]

I didn't remember their number, I'm sorry...

That is amazing! I never thought you would be working with wolves!

[gekidazejanai]

Did you forget how to get there, too? They haven't moved.

Neither did I, but it's so awesome. I miss all the ones in New York, of course, but I'm getting really attached to my new four.

What have you been up to?

[damagedviolin]

I...did. It's been a long 12 years for me, Shishido-san.

Me? Well, mostly recovering. It's only been about 2 years since I got out of my coma.

[gekidazejanai]

Well, I suppose it's time for you to learn your way to my new place, then. You have a niece to meet, you know. I've told Arashi all about you.

I'm really glad you're recovering instead of, you know, dead. We should hang sometime.

[damagedviolin]

Sounds great. And I bet she's a cutie! Is there a wife, too?

We should! I'll see you at Keigo-san's party, right?

[gekidazejanai]

Nah, the relationship fell apart because of the pregnancy. I had to fight to keep her from ending it.

Hopefully! If I can't get a sitter and I can't bring Arashi with me, I may have to skip it, though I'd hate to do that.

[damagedviolin]

Oh...well, I'm sorry to hear that!

I'm sure Keigo-san will be willing to let you bring her.

[gekidazejanai]

Well, we do kind of keep in touch, just in case I need to contact her in an emergency for medical history information.

I sure hope so, she'll have a blast if he does.

[damagedviolin]

She'll be a princess at the ball!

[gekidazejanai]

She wants an Elsa dress if she gets to go.

[damagedviolin]

Elsa...?

[gekidazejanai]

You've been spared the horrors of "Frozen", I see. Don't expect that to last once Arashi finds out. It's her favorite movie.

[damagedviolin]

Ooooh, I've heard of it. It came out a while ago, didn't it?

[gekidazejanai]

Yeah. And she still insists on watching it at least once a week. At least I have her watching the Japanese dub lately, the voices are better.

[damagedviolin]

Oh, my....

[gekidazejanai]

Such is the life of having a little girl. At least she balances it out with Sentai and Kamen Rider on Sundays, now that she knows those are things.

[damagedviolin]

That's cute, Shishido-san.

[gekidazejanai]

Of course it is. She's the cutest kid ever, obviously.

[damagedviolin]

I'm glad you sound happy!

[gekidazejanai]

I am happy. I've got a pretty awesome life.

Are you happy?

[damagedviolin]

Hmmm, I'm pretty happy, yes! It's been hard, but I'm getting there!

[gekidazejanai]

Hey, nothing worth it is easy.

[damagedviolin]

True enough!
