英語日記:アンビに赤飯?(学習記録あり)

Hi everyone, how are you doing?

I am doing well. My leg has recovered a lot so this morning I went for a walk with our dog, Ambi. I am very happy that I finally have got back to normal. But  I know I shouldn't do too much because I really don't want to have a relapse.

Speaking of Ambi,  she is on her period now.  Should I say she is on heat? Well, honestly I didn't know that dogs had period too like humans so I feel a bit weird about it. Ambi is still a puppy but now she is ready for having her puppies... Hum.. Anyway, we have to be careful that she doesn't get pregnant. There are some dogs in our neighbourhood and some of them are male. We don't know if they are all neutered, we had better talk to their owners . 

Since I didn't know anything about dog's being on heat, I looked it up on the Internet.  To my surprise, I found out that you could buy nappies for female dogs! That web site was a Japanese one.  I wonder if we can buy nappies  in Australia too. Well I still have mixed feelings about it.. Does anyone know if female dogs suffer pain from their period or not?




*words and phrases

・relapse :(病気などの)再発、ぶり返し
・on one's period:生理中で
・be on heat:発情期の
・neuter:去勢する
・nappy:おむつ
・have mixed feelings :複雑な心境である

今日はホント久しぶりに犬のアンビと散歩に出かけました。
たった15分でしたが、いい気分転換になったので良かったです。
今アンビは【女の子の日】を経験中。親(飼い主)としてはなんだか複雑な心境です。ネットで色々調べたら犬専用のオムツがあるらしいですね!びっくりです。アンビは外で飼っていますが室内犬だと部屋が汚れるからオムツが必要になってくるんでしょうね。
