It’s hard to believe it’s Pao’s 3rd birthday today. It feels more like 30 years.

Anyway, here he is after his morning walk, after his after-walk frenzies, after his morning Kong, obeying commands to sit (osuwari), paw (ote), and lie down (fuse). Note for non-Japanese speakers, osuwari is pronounced “oh sue wah ree” and ote is pronounced “oh te” and fuse is pronounced “fu seh.”

And, if you’re interested, here is a link to an album of photos of Pao from the day I got him on December 28, 2019 through today.
