· Ponsuke's album

ボストンテリア・女の子・5歳 / Boston Terrier, girl, 5 · 2021.5.20


Head of playtime. She brings the rope and waits until you pick up the other end. Sleeps belly-up.

ポン助の戦利品

Ponsuke marched down the hallway, blue snake clamped in her jaws. Ears up, eyes on us. Every catch gets delivered for inspection. The snake has stopped resisting.

ポン助の引っ張りっこ

Offer Ponsuke the rope and the tug-of-war is on. Jaw locked, not letting go, and only those eyes move, glancing up to see who gives up first. It is never Ponsuke.

ポン助の口角

All it took was saying her name. Ponsuke's mouth corners curled up, cheeks bunched into little folds, and her eyes went soft. That smile gets us every time.

ポン助のロープ

Ponsuke waited in the hallway, rope in mouth. Reach for it, and she bites down harder and tilts her head. She has no plan to hand it over. She just wants a tug-of-war.

ポン助と青い風船

Ponsuke chased the blue balloon all the way to the wall, mouth wide open. But the moment she reaches it, her nose bops it right back up. Then the chase starts again.

ポン助の耳

From above, you notice Ponsuke's ears before her face. Thin enough to glow pink inside, yet they never fold. They hear us coming long before we reach the door.

軍曹とポン助の散歩

Ponsuke leads the walk, nose down, all business. Gunso trails behind, tongue out, in no hurry, but eyes on me the whole time. Somebody has to watch the rear.

ポン助の寝相

Ponsuke hit the bed, rolled over, and put all four paws in the air. Head wedged into the cushion edge, belly out. Apparently this is her most relaxed position.

ポン助のお皿

Ponsuke parked her chin in the bowl and gave me the side-eye. A few kibbles still at the bottom, but she won't touch them. The whole bowl is the refill request.

ロープの配達

When Ponsuke wants to play, she carries the rope down the hall, stops at your feet, and stares until you take the other end. No rope, no game. Every time.

お散歩の隊列

Ponsuke charges ahead, tongue out, eyes on the path. Gunso, 9, stays a few steps back and watches it all. One leads, one supervises. Same order every walk.

ポン助の審査

Ponsuke sat up on the bed and stared into the lens, one tooth peeking out. Not begging, just judging. Every photo gets reviewed. This face means "try again."

コートの季節

Coat season is here. Ponsuke in red plaid stares at the door while the leash goes on. Gunso, in green plaid, got ready ages ago and waits in the back.

軍曹とポン助の廊下

Gunso and Ponsuke coming down the hallway together. Ponsuke leads, tongue out. Gunso, nine years old, follows half a step behind. Different speeds, same grin.

ムンクとポン助の高低差

Munch took the high ground first and now looks down while Ponsuke stays on the floor, head tilted up, waiting. In this house rank has nothing to do with size. It goes to whoever sat down first.

ポン助の雨上がり点検

The rain had just stopped when Ponsuke halted on the wet stones. Red spider lilies lined the bank, but her eyes went to a yellow leaf stuck to the path. Autumn reaches her nose first.
