"I've had a relationship with Ai-chan (the electric car) for seven years now. I used to have a Shiba Inu named Ken. Seven years ago, in the height of summer, he drew his last breath.
Until the day before, he ate his dog food normally and went out for an evening walk. But he was suffering. This was a first for him. Ken, who never barked in vain and was an otherwise obedient dog, seemed to be in constant pain. I spent the whole night taking care of Ken. I planned to take him to the vet first thing in the morning.
By around 10 in the morning, Ken was quietly asleep. "I was doing household chores quietly, trying not to make any noise."
Suddenly, I could hear Ken's loud crying from the living room. His face seemed to say, 'Mom, I'm going to heaven. Thanks for everything up until now,' as he drew his last breath. I can't recall what happened afterwards.
The week after Ken disappeared, Ai-chan arrived at our house.
Now, taking a walk continue with Ai-chan.....
