Sitting here, pressing the black-and-white keys on the first floor. Above, there is barking. Yuka, as a Shiba Inu, normally doesn’t bark at all. Well, like maybe once a year for various reasons. And now he’s giving a full serenade. I go to check, turning on the camera. It turned out that he had suddenly discovered a newly-purchased pack of printer paper opposite his couch, in a room where nothing new had appeared in his presence before. And there it was, such an aggressively white pack of paper with a whole 1000 sheets from Costco by the TV, clearly encroaching on his territory. He remained upset for quite a long time until I removed it. Later on, Yuka got to know it better. If it had been outside, he would definitely have peed on it, but inside, he just sniffed it for a long time, then cataloged it in his mind and no longer barks. That’s his exciting life.
