Mariko had some guests over for lunch today, and one of them brought their dog, May, along. She was very interested in the karaage and kept a close eye on it the whole time. Watching her was such a flashback, she reminded me so much of Lani.

I set up the Kotatsu today temporarily using the tortilla blanket until I can dig out our bigger comforter. Not even a minute after it was ready, Yuzu had already claimed her spot inside, basking in all the cozy warmth.

Anko was resting comfortably on the toast pillow, and Yuzu somehow managed to sneak in right beside her. I did not see it happen, and Anko did not make a single peep or hiss, but the peaceful moment was short lived. After only a few minutes, Anko decided she had enough and hopped off the desk.
