私の実家の愛犬、テネシーはブリーダーさんから譲って頂いたシェルティーでした。当時我が家の初代シェルティー、レックスを助骨癌で亡くした私達。私の家族は完全なペットロス状態になってしまいした。今、思えばそれだけレックスは家族の一員だったんだろうなぁ~当初、もう二度と悲しい思いをしたくないのと両親も徐々に高齢化するという現実に伴い、二度と犬は飼わないと言われてました。そんなある日、妹がうちの近くに在住するシェルティーのブリダーさんを見つけてきたのでした。「とりあえず見るだけ!」ということでみんなでいそいそと出かけました。そこで出会ったのが生後2ヶ月弱の3匹の子犬達。体格の大きな子は前後の足が大きかったので、将来は標準サイズを上回る大きさになるだろうとブリーダーさんに言われました。一番小さな子は、ひょろひょろとしてちょっと病弱なカンジ。そして、標準体格の普通っぽい子は好奇心旺盛でやんちゃ。以前飼っていたレックスは、ラフコリーとよく間違われるぐらいシェルティーにしては体格の大きな犬でした。父と私は元々大型犬が好きなので、一番大きな子がいい!と言っていたのですが...妹と母は標準体格でやんちゃな子がいいと譲りません。本当は「ただ見るだけ」だったはずなのに...(苦笑)急遽その場で緊急家族会議。結局、その日のうちに標準体格の子犬を引き取って帰ってきました。それが今のテネシーです。よくテネシーの名前の由来について、名曲「テネシーワルツ」の「テネシー」と思われがちですが、実は全然違います。テネシーの名前の由来は「Jack Daniels」という「Tennessee Whiskey」から名付けられました。実は「ジャック=ダニエルズ」の製造の町、米国・Tennessee州にあるLynchburgに昔、夏の家族旅行で訪れたという思い出があるのと、我が家は飲兵衛一家であることが名前の本当の由来です。(笑) ブリーダーさんちから子犬を数日間だけ預かった時の様子。テネシーもこの子犬ぐらいの頃から私達と生活してました。This is a photo when we took care of the puppy for several days from our breeder.Tennesses had been living with us, since he was as old as this puppy.Our family dog, Tennessee, the Shetland sheepdog came from a breeder's home.We had just lost our first and beloved family Sheltie, Rex because of rib cancer.Everyone in our family was greiving from a pet loss.I look back and think that he really was a part of our family.My parents said that they will never take care of another dog because they don't want to go through this sad experience ever again and that they are also getting too old to take care of any dogs.Then one day, my little sister found a Sheltie breeder,who lives close to our home.So we all decided to visit the kennel, "just to look".There we met 3 puppies, who were just less than 2 months old.The big puppy had 4 big legs and was told, that he would grow up to be a big Sheltie.The small one seems very weak.The basic size one was very active and had alots of curiosities.My dad and I both like big dogs in general. So we wanted the big puppy.But my little sister and my mom wanted the basic sized puppy.Our purpose was just to visit and see the puppies. But all of the sudden, we had an emergency family meeting.And we decided to bring home the active puppy, which later became our Tennessee.By the way, many thinks the name "Tennessee" came from a famous song called,"Tennessee Waltz". But that's not true. His name came from "Jack Daniel's Tennesse Whiskey".We had some good memories of traveling to Lynchburg, Tennessee in the U.S. on one of our family summer vacations. It's a town that makes "Jack Daniels", the Tennesse Whiskey. And my family loves to drink liquors, too.

私の実家に住む愛犬専務、2代目シェットランドシープドッグのテネシーです。今回は初めての動くテネシーですね。生後2ヶ月から我が家に来て以来、5年。テネシーの我が家の構図は...ママ>パパ>テネシー=私<妹・hiroro・妹の婚約者・乱歩のようになってる様子。なので、私が帰省して家に戻ると遊び相手が帰ってきた!と思い遊ぼう!散歩に行こう!とじゃれてきます。それに実家に戻れば、私は自然と我が家の動物達担当の役割分担に戻ります。今回は我が家の小さなうさ専務の乱歩と実家の犬専務のテネシーの間に小さな火花が散ってました。テネシーからしたら私は同等。乱歩からしたらママ。どちらを優先的に扱えばいいのか??結局、私が時間差をうまく作り、仲がこじれることなく仲良く両方と遊びました。しかし、つくづく私にはいろんな意味で多頭飼いは向いていないということをよく学びました。たまにはこういうのもいいのかも?!He is Tennessee, our second family co-executive dog and a Shetland Sheepdog.It's moving Tennessee for the first time.He has been living with my family since he was 2 months old.It's been 5 years since then.In his head, the power of the family members are written like this.Mommy > Daddy > Himself = Me > My sister, hiroro, my sister's fiance, RampoSo when I go home, Tennessee thinks his playmate is back.He comes around asking to play with him or take him out for a walk.And when I go home, I'm naturally back to being the caretaker for all thepets in our family.There was a little sparks between our small co-executive rabbit, Rampoand our co-executive family dog, Tennessee.For Tennessee, I'm his sister and playmate.For Rampo, I'm his mommy.Who should be my first priority to take care??As a result, I made some jetlag and was able to play fully withboth of them.So they were very nice to each other.But I learned a lesson that more than a pet to take care isn't what I want.That will drive me crazy.I guess it's nice, every once in a while.

おとといからうちの実家にいるシェルティーの子犬。昨夜の家族会議の結果、かわいいけれどテネシー1匹を大事に飼おうという話しになったらしく、飼わないことになりました。私達が今すぐ飼える環境に住んでいたら...この子を引き取って飼うんだけどなぁ~。今は無理なんで、私達はとりあえず来年まで犬を飼うのは我慢です。でも、こんなかわいい子を見たらまた「犬を飼いたい病」が出てきました。(涙)おチビちゃん、君も大事にしてくれる家族にもらわれていくことを願っているぞ!The Sheltie puppy has been at my family home since the day before. And the result of the family meeting is, my family won't have any more dogs besides Tennessee. They want to take best care of Tennessee. If we were living in an environment where we can have a dog now, then we'll be happy to have the puupy. But right now, that's not possible for us. We have to wait until next year to have a dog of our own. But when I see an adorable puppy, I start wanting a dog of our own. I hope you will be able to live with a family who will take good care of you, little puppy.

昨日から居候中のおチビちゃん。我が家が女系家族だとすでに察知したのか?!テネシーがいつも座っているお気に入りのイスにおチビちゃんがでかい顔して座ってる。(苦笑)テネシー:「それ、僕の指定席なんだけどぉ~」と言いたげな顔。おチビちゃん:「だから何?!」というカンジ。テネシーのお嫁さん候補。今のところ、なかなか頼もしい子犬のようです。Maybe the puppy, who has been living with my family since yesterday,already knows that women are stronger than men in my family.The puppy is sitting on Tennessee's favorite chair with a big attitude.Tennessee seems to want to say, "Hey! That's my reserved seat!"The puppy seems to give him a look, "So what?!"Tennessee's maybe future wife is a very strong minded puppy,huh?!

仕事から帰宅するなり、電話がなった。実家の母から。いきなり、「お姉ちゃん、我が家が大変なことになったぁ!!」訳のわからん私は一体どうしたのか尋ねてみた。すると、こんな話しを聞いた。テネシーを購入したことをきっかけに知り合って、今ではすっかり家族ぐるみで付き合っているシェルティーのブリーダーさん夫妻がいきなり♀のシェルティーの子犬を連れてきたらしい。ブリーダーさんいわく、「お宅のお父さんの還暦祝い」だそうだ。きっとそれは冗談でしょう。仮に本当にそうだたとしても、タダで譲ってもらう気はまったくないにだけれど...いきなりのことで、驚いた母と妹。テネシーが嫉妬しては困るから断ったのだが、とりあえず今週いっぱい預かって、テネシーとの様子を見て!といわれて預かることに。しかし、普段ならばよその犬に嫉妬をするテネシーも今回はまったく嫉妬をしないらしい。むしろ、仲がよいとか!?そして子犬も度胸がすわっているらしく、家中走り回り、母や妹テネシーの後をついてまわるらしい。この件に関しては、今晩父が帰宅して家族会議にかけるらしいが...私の予想はテネシーとの相性が抜群ということで、きっと未来のテネシーのお嫁さんとして、飼うことになるんじゃないかなぁ~なんて思っています。我が家の家族の一員になるかはさておき...なかなか愛嬌のある子でしょ!? テネシーともすっかり仲良し~♪She already befriended our Tennessee.As soon as I got home, our phone rang.It was from my mom.She said, "Listen, We're in big trouble!!"I had no idea waht was going on, so I listened to her story.The Shetland Sheepdog breeder couple, whom we had became aquainted through buying Tennessee, also now our family friends came to my family home today.They brought a female Sheltie puppy with them.They said, "It's your daddy's 60's birthday present." and left the puppy at my family home.We all think that's a big joke.And even if that was true, we have no intention of getting a puppy for free anyways.My mom and my sister was surprised at this!My mom said she was unable to keep it because our Tennessee will get jealous ofthe puppy.But they said to keep the puppy for the rest of the week and see how Tennesseereacts.To everyone's surprise, Tennessee who usually gets jealous at other dogsdidn't get jealous with this puppy.In fact, they get along very well!And this puppy is very brave. She runs around our house and follows wherevermy mom, sister and Tennessee goes.They will have a family meeting about this matter tonight, after my dad comes home.But I think they will end up welcoming this puppy into our family as futureTennessee's wife to be, because Tennessee gets along with her well.We'll see if she will become one of my family.Anyways, isn't she adorable!?

昨夜電話で実家の母と話しをしたら、テネシーを獣医さんに連れて行ったらしい。この時期、毎年、健康診断を兼ねてフィラリアの薬ももらいに行くのです。フィラリアとは蚊に愛犬が刺されることで感染してしまう寄生虫のこと。この寄生虫は体内に入ると、最終的には心臓疾患を引き起こし、愛犬を死にいたらしめる怖い虫なのです。夏場は蚊が出てくるので初夏から初秋にかけて、毎月1回、予防薬を愛犬に飲ませます。今年も早速昨日から飲み始めたらしい。これでテネシーも暑い夏がきても大丈夫だね!When I was talking to my mom last night, she told me that she took Tennessee to the vet. At this time of the year, we take the dog to the vet for an annual check-up and to ask the vet to prescribe the Filaria pills. Filaria is a heart worm for dogs. The dog can get Filaria by mosquito bites. When Filaria enters the body of a dog, it grows and can lead to death by heart diseases. So it's a very scary illness for dogs. Because the mosqitoes comes out in the summer, the dog starts taking prescribed pills once every month from the beginning of summer till the beginning of autumn. Tennessee started taking his pills from yesterday. Now he is ready for summer!

母から久々に携帯写メールが届きました。ちょっとおねむなカンジのテネシーです。うちのテネシーは夜10時に庭にチッチ(トイレ)に出すと、朝の8時半までは部屋でおとなしく寝ています。夜8時~夜10時の間はいつもみんなのいる和室で一眠りするのが彼の日課。「チッチいくよ~」の一声で飛び起きて、用を済ますと安心して本格的に眠りにつきます。今は離れて暮らしているのがちょっと寂しいけど、もうすぐGW!テネシーに会いに帰るから、一緒にたくさん散歩しようね~♪It's been a while since my mom sent me a photo from her mobile.It's a photo of sleepy Tennessee.Our Tennessee goes out to pee in our backyard at 10PM every nightand he sleeps in my parents bedroom until 8:30AM.His daily habit is taking a nap between 8PM~10PM in our Japanesestyle living room, where everyone is usually around.When one of my family calls, "It's time to go out to pee", he quickly wakes up and goes out to do his business.After he is finished, he semms relieved and goes to bed.Now I live away from home and I miss Tennessee alot!But GW holidays are coming soon!We'll be going home to see Tennessee and we look forward to goingout for a nice long walk together!

I sent him a doggy snacks for his birthday. I hope he understands that it's from me, who live far away from home.(By the way, I'm a real dog lover!) This year is a year of dogs. I hope you will stay well this year,too.

今年は戌年ということで、私の実家の愛犬、テネシーの話しを一つ。みんなに甘やかされて育っているテネシーも来月で4歳。すっかり落ち着きもでてきたようで、最近はあまり吠えません。今回帰省したら、お手ができるようになっていて、お留守番といえば、自分でケージに入るすっかりおりこう犬になってました。つい1年前までhiroroには吠えていたテネシーも、今回帰省したらhiroroにはまったく吠えませんでした。やっとhiroroもテネシーに家族の一員として認められたかな?!(笑)ちなみにテネシーは犬には珍しく、かわいいフリフリのリボンが大好き!一応、これでも♂犬なんですけどね。(苦笑)でも、なかなか似合うでしょ!?Because this year is a year of dogs, here's a story of my family dog, Tennessee. Tennessee, our family dog is loved by all and is a bit spoiled,too. But he will turn 4 years old next month. It seems like he has calmed down a bit and he doesn't bark as much nowadays. When we went home for our new year's holidays, he has turned into a really smart dog. When we tell him to give us his paw, he does and when we tell him, "home alone", he walks into his cage by himself. Just a year ago, he used to bark at hiroro. But when we went home this time, he didn't bark at hiroro at all. I guess Tennessee has finally admitted hiroro as one of our family. Anyways, Tennessee loves pretty and cute ribbons. By the way, Tennessee is a ♂dog, you know! But he does look cute with his ribbons on, doesn't he!?

さっき、私の母がすごくうれしそうな声で電話をかけてきました。何事か?!と話しを聞いてみると...母と妹が大阪にあるペットモデル事務所に我が家の愛犬、テネシーの写真をみんなに内緒で送っていたらしい。そして、その結果が今日来たそうだ。結果は合格で、来月下旬に認定書を事務所にもらいにいくらしい。詳しい話しを聞くと、CMで有名なチワワのクゥーちゃんと同じペットモデル事務所の大阪支社だとか?!なかなかやるなぁ~そして、この画像を密かに送ったらしいです。審査員のコメントが、「テネシーちゃん、素敵な笑顔ですね。手入れされたコートがグッド!です。」だったらしいです。確かにうちのテネシーはいつもニコニコ満面の笑み。この笑みと人なつっこいところが彼の最大の武器です。(笑)すっかり気分はステージママぶりの母。我が家の一番のホープは2Docs(博士であるhiroro&博士を目指す妹)ではなく、テネシーかもしれませんね?!(笑)Just about an hour ago, my mom called me.She seemed very happy, so I asked her what was going on.My mom and my sister had secretly sent a photo of our family dog, Tennessee to a pet modeling agency in Osaka.And the result came today. The result was he was registered as apet model. They will go get the registration certificate at the office at the end of next months.As my mom told me the details, she told me that Tennessee will register as a pet model with the same office's Osaka branch, that Qoo the Chiwawa(famous dog model in TV CMs)is now working with.This is the photo that they had sent secretly.The judge gave him a comment as follows," Tennessee, you have a nice smile. And your fur is taken care of well,too."It's true that Tennessee is always smiling.His biggest weapon is his doggy smile and his friendliness.My mom is ready to be a stage mom any day now.I guess the biggest hope of our family is not the 2 docs(hiroro & my sister), but Tennessee!

私の実家の愛犬テネシーは今年で3歳。この犬、生後50日でブリーダーさんの家から我が家にやってきたのですが、先代犬のレックスが他界してまだペットロスが覚めやらぬ最中にきたものだから...皆がそれは大事に、大事に、箱入り犬として育ててしまいました。今、それがどのようになったかと言いますと...子犬の頃から常に誰かに抱かれていたので、すっかり抱かれ犬。何があっても抱かれていれば大人しいという犬になりました。寝る時ももちろん、人間のベッドで寝ます。しかも朝まで人間の腕枕なしでは寝ません。もちろん、一通りのしつけはしていますが、とにかく人間の2、3歳児並みの甘え犬です。みんなが家族の一員として子犬の頃から接してきたものだから自分は人間だと思い込んでいる。そろそろ嫁が欲しいと考えていますが...こんな箱入りワンコのところに来てくれる奇特なシェルティーのお嬢さんがいるかしら??Our family dog, Tennessee is 3 years old this year. He came to us when he was only 50days old from a breeder. He came about 6months after Rex, our first dog passed away. We were all in a middle of a pet loss so when Tennessee came to live with us, we were all very happy. We cared for him with alots of love and treated him like a baby. When he was a puppy, he was always held by someone in our family. So now he just loves to be held all the time. He will stay quiet as long as you hold him. When he goes to bed, ofcourse he sleeps on a bed just like us. He likes to have an arm pillow when he sleeps. Although, we have him basically trained to be a house dog, he acts like a 2,3years old child. He thinks he is one of us since we treated him as our family since he was a puppy. We are thinking of getting a wife for Tennessee but... will a nice female sheltie ever come to a spoiled baby like Tennessee??

昨夜、久々の実家に帰り、まず吠えもせずに飛び出してきてくれたのが我が家の愛犬、テネシーでした。4ヶ月ぶりの再会に飛び回って、じゃれて、熱烈な歓迎を受けました。犬はわかっているのか?!私が2階の部屋に荷物を片付けに行こうとすると先に行って、ちゃんと私の部屋で待ってました。テネシーは鼻が長いので、ドアを鼻で押して開ける事ができます。彼は前足でノックもするんですよ。(笑)今朝もちゃんと開けて起こしに来ました。彼はまるで幼い弟のように私の後をついて回ります。やっぱ、愛すべきペットが最高の癒しですよね!テネシーと家族の微妙な関係tenneパパ:絶対服従。人間家族のドンtenneママ:怒ると怖いので、絶対服従。tenne238:テネシーと同等。遊び仲間感覚なので、そこそこ服従。tenne妹:テネシー以下なので、たまにしか服従しない。hiroro7:テネシー以下なので、たまにしか、服従しない。コナン:うさぎだけど..先輩ペットなので、絶対服従。When I went home last night, my dog Tennessee was the first one by the entrance door . He just greeted me just jumping around without barking at all. It has been 4 months since I 've seen him. Does the dog really know?! When I went upstairs to my room to settle down, he went straight to my room and waited for me. Tennessee has long nose so he is very good at pushing the doors open with his nose. He can also knock on door with his paws. This morning, he came to wake me up. He follows me everywhere as if he was my little brother. I think loving pets are the best healers in the world!Relationships between Tennessee and his owner family.My dad:He thinks that dad is the boss of the family. He obeys everything.My mom:He thinks she's scary when she is angry. That's why he obeys everything.Me:He thinks I'm his playmate and that we're equal. He obeys most of the time.My younger sister: He thinks she's ranks below him. He obeys sometimes.hiroro:He thinks that he ranks below him. He sometimes obeys.Conan the pet rabbit: Conan came to us few months earlier. He obeys everything.
