Each Pet's Story. -Canine Edition

Are you a cat person or a canine person? Each has its own merits, so you may say, "I can't choose one over the other! But one thing I can say is that both are the best. The relationship between owners and their pets is unique, and no two pets are the same. Following the cat lovers in the last issue, this time we had the opportunity to touch a little on the usual daily lives of three sets of canine lovers.

01: UE x Rocky & MonyHorse x Daniel

UE, a tattooist, and Mony Horse, an immensely popular rapper, are friends who have many favorite shared languages, including Inu Tattoo, Music + Alpha. Rocky and Danielle are as compatible as their owners (!?). .

It corrects a bit of irregularity in our lives and enriches our daily routines.

How did you come up with the name "Rocky"?

UE:When we first got her, there was a time when I was wondering what to name her. I had a canine named ROCK when I was a child, so I vaguely thought, "I'll add a Y to it and name him ROCKY. ." and called him out. I thought, "That's the one! I named him Rocky. Later I heard that my friend had seen the movie "Rocky" the day before and just called him out of the blue (laughs).

I thought to myself, "What an amazing destiny! . but I didn't expect it... (laughs). What made you decide to bring in Rocky?

UE:I had a history of having a collie and a beagle before I got Rocky, and I knew I wanted to live with a canine again someday. About 11 years after his predecessor (a beagle) passed away, I had a good encounter with him and after meeting him a few times, I decided to get him.

Where did you meet?

UE:We were doing our own DIY decorating of the store, so we went to Home Depot to buy the tools and paint we needed. Rocky was there, and as I went to the home improvement center several times, meeting Rocky became one of my goals (laughs). I was a little patient, but I finally got to hold him and decided to take him with me.

What are some of the best moments you've had with Rocky?

UE:From the time I wake up in the morning to the time I go to bed, every minute of every day is great. I have always been a canine lover, and now that I live with them, I am really starting to enjoy their company.

Do you have any unique points of pride as an owner?

UE:I think it's cute that they are so large in size among Chihuahuas. Also, when I am at home and an ambulance or fire truck siren goes off, he barks as if singing in tune, which is adorable (laughs).

I'd love to see that! Do you have a favorite food or favorite thing to eat?

UE:. My favorite foods are chicken meat, oimo , and dried horse meat steaks. They are happy to go for a walk with you, go for a bike ride in a bag, go for a drive, or just go out. He likes to be in the sun. At home, he often gets into fights with his favorite stuffed bear (laughs).

When moving up/out of the house, I carry it in a bag with a diagonal strap.

UE, please tell us about your favorite canine products.

UE:A leash given to me by Mr. Q (*Tokyo Hemp Connection) and a raincoat given to me by Kiku, a junior member of the team. They are cool and I love using them.

Are there any canine items you are currently targeting?

UE:It's a canine tent to be placed indoors. He likes small spaces, so I thought he would enjoy a tent that he can use as if it were his own room. I'm sure Rocky would look adorable in the tent (laughs).

. I definitely think they are cute (laughs). Finally, do you have any recommendations for living with canines?

UE:Not only does it make my daily life more enjoyable and richer, but by taking walks and exercising with nature, I also get my own exercise and my personal life becomes a little more regular. It is also good for the owner in terms of his/her health. Canine life is a lot of fun, and I really recommend it!

. the best companion, with whom you can communicate without speaking a word.

. How did you come up with the name and what made you decide to bring him into the family?

Mony Horse:Poof, he was handsome, so I named him Daniel . I thought it was a name that would suit this guy. . His nickname is Danny, and I usually call him that. He is a Chiwax, a mix of a Chihuahua and a miniature dachshund, and I met him at a pet store and fell in love at first sight. I met him at a pet shop and fell in love at first sight. I went to the store several times and decided to adopt him.

What are some of the moments in your life with Daniel that make you happy?

Mony Horse:When I come home, he comes running out to greet me. They have a long torso, so when they are happy, they are cute when they come running with their hips in a giggling motion (laughs). (Laughs.) It's also adorable when he jumps up and down on his short legs.

That move is too cute! What are you proud of Danielle?

Mony Horse:Daniel has a smooth coat and short hair , and he is very proud of this shiny appearance. The rest is nice character. He is friendly and looks me in the eye. People around me say he is very expressive, and he is a cute guy. When I suddenly speak to him and say, "Woof! I say, "Woof! he responds with "Woof!

He is a handsome and nice character, and if he were human, he would be very popular...! What do you like about Daniel?

Mony Horse:. He loves to go for walks. He understands the word "walk," and when I say it to him at home, he tugs at the leash as if to say, "Let's go, let's go, let's go! If it rains for a long time and we can't go out for a walk, he starts to misbehave a little. He will ask, "Are you ready yet? He also loves to be praised. He also loves to be praised. When I praise him, he bites me sweetly and is happy.

. Upper left: Daniel's footprints are tattooed behind Mr. Monyhorse's right ear. Top right: The BRAIN DEAD reel is an important communication tool. Bottom 2: Before giving him treats, he has to sit up properly as part of his discipline. He is a smart boy.

They always come to UE's store to play with each other's canines, take photos & videos, and have too much fun as shown in the photo.

Do you have a favorite canine item?

Mony Horse:I'm using a "BRAIN DEAD" reed today. It is quite long and easy to use, and I like the design. When I am walking my dog and want to go home, he comes close to the leash and barks at me, saying, "Let's go home soon!

I see that the leash is also a communication tool (laughs). What canine items would you like to acquire in the future?

Mony Horse:. I'm wondering if I should buy a stay-at-home camera. I would like to see what he does when I'm not home, and I think that seeing him even when I can't see him would cheer me up.

What is Daniel's favorite place at home?

Mony Horse:He is on my lap. When we are watching TV, he is on top of me all the time, and our bodies are always attached to each other (laughs).

What do you like about living with a canine companion?

Mony Horse:I feel at peace. They don't speak back to me when I talk to them, but I can communicate with them, and they are always there for me. Canines understand the human heart. I have always loved animals, and I have kept many other animals besides dogs, such as pigeons, snakes, and tropical fish. I find that interacting with animals is the most refreshing thing, and it takes all the stress away from me. I love canines so much that I have made it a rule to allow pets in my hamburger store, MONICHIKI HOUSE. I took Daniel a few times, but he kept getting into mischief, so I don't take him there anymore (laughs).
