News about Hachi and Bella!

Bell & Hachi

Bell & Hachi

I’ve been taking a long break from this pooch blog. I realized that there are many things happened to our dogs, so I should start writing again with some interesting things about them.

First off, Hachi has gained his appetite after feeding him Beneful Dog Food (Purina). The consistency of Beneful in chunky bits is slightly softer than Dog Chow. I guess that Hachi needed some changes in eating habit with a different food. Since then, he eats food like a “real” hungry dog.

Bella has been growing up dramatically. Last month, she escaped for four times from the opened front door. Nothing serious happened to her every time she did. But we were so frightened with it. I guess she now learned how to hold herself back staying away from the open door. She’s a very fast learner and really great dog. She still has a bad habit to taste her stool in the backyard. It might take long to time break that habit.

Their everyday routine is now like this.

  • A short morning walk at 6:30 am.
  • Napping for 3 hours till 10:30 am. (Sometimes, around 9:30, Bella starts bugging me out by stealing my hands off my desk.)
  • Brunch time at 10:30 am.
  • Playtime from 11:00 to 12:30 including a bathroom break (especially, for number 2!).
  • Afternoon napping time from 1:00 to 4:00 pm (or, 4:30pm).
  • Playtime (family time) from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
  • Dinner at 7:00 pm.
  • Night walk at 7:30 pm.
  • Playtime chewing a toy at 8:00 pm to around 9:00 pm.
  • By the time of 9:30, they seem tired and relaxed in their bed.

Also, Hachi has lost his weight to 80 lb. He used to be around 85lb. Bella has not gained much weight (40 lb), so she might remain in that way for her whole life.
