The most joyful experience Haruka and I had last weekend
 

Haruka is such a well-behaved dog.. WEll.. let me just brag about her :D

So last week, Haruka and I went to so many different places. We went to a town called "Newburyport" for one day, very friendly area for dogs. Then of course, as I said on the other thread, a couple hundred people came to talk to us .... Everyone was nice and Haruka met many nice people.

There are a couple people we met.. I was really touched and I bet Haruka too. There were a couple elders on wheelchairs. Then caretakers say "oh look.. very cute dogs" So I decided to stop and waited until those people can turn around to see Haruka. When I saw their face, their face was like "mad women and a man" but then they started having this big smile on their face. It was just so nice. So I did something I usually don't do. I lifted Haruka and put her on each of them's laps. Of course my hands were right there.. just in case. Oh I don't know how I can explain.. about their smile with full of joy. Haruka just sat still and let them pad her. Before I was ready to go, one care taker said, "Thank you.. very much... you made their day ... thank you.."

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww it was very nice feelings. Interesting is.. I had one more person with a little boy said that we made their day... awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.. Haruka is making everyone smile and smile and smile. This is definitely a wonderful feeling.

Sounds like you and Haruka had a lot of fun! I'm glad that you can make other people happy just by letting your dog see them! You are soo sweet and kind and Haruka is lucky to have you as her Mommy!!:-D

That was so sweet of you to do. We often don't realize that to make someone's day better we just have to slow down and take a little time with them. Sometimes it's so simple to do. A kind word and a smile can do so much to brighten someone's day.

That was a very nice gesture. You have such a good heart to share your baby with others. I bet the smiles were all over everyones faces. She is a doll!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, great story. ... But how about OUR smiles here on YT? How about MORE PICTURES!

I'm kidding, Michiko! Making people smile is definitely one of the fringe benefits of having a Yorkie.

I am updating pictures on Haruka's site often.. but someone on YT thought that I was doing too much of advertisement for my Haruka's blog even I am nto making money out of the site.. but anyway... so people can feel free to go :)

But pics are out there :) I am just too lazy to resize and put the pics here :D So just for people who would like to see.. pics are always there.

Haruka is a little doll. She is bringing so much joy in to many people's lives.
I check her blog all the time for new pictures and stories!!!

I think she should be doing little paw print autographs...nice to brighten anyone's day.

Oops, I forgot about your blog. Those pics and vids are great. I especially like this one.

Michiko-
It is nice to see you posting. I've missed you these last several days!!! Haruka is beautiful as always. I love her Japanese outfit.

I'm so glad that you and Haruka are experiencing special times together and helping bring smiles to others also.

Last weekend when I was traveling with Sissy, we stopped at a rest area so she could potty. There was a little girl who came over to see and pet her. Well, I need to go to the bathroom and there are signs all over the building that say "NO PETS" and I didn't want to leave her in the car - so I asked the little girl (and her mother) if they would be there for just another minute and if she wanted to hold Sissy while I went to the bathroom. The little girl was so beside herself. When I came out (probably 30 seconds later) the mom told me I had just made the little girl's day.

Michiko,

You must be so busy and having so much fun with Haruka! I know you have your blog but I miss seeing you here on YT! BTW your blog is fantastic!

Haruka is getting to be such a beauty! She truly couldn't have asked for a better mom!
