Renting a Dog

Where in else in the world can you rent a dog. Besides Japan of course. I was invited to join in on renting a "sausege dog" today. In Odaiba of course. The land where nothing makes sense.

Some random photos at the end. Such fun. Oh and check out my "You Tube" page for videos. They are about as lame as my photos though. Be warned.





Ok, this isn't really related to the dog renting. But I saw this woman today. If you look closely you might be able to see her shorts. But if you can't, don't panic. They are about the size of an eyepatch. Japanese women's clothing choices make me feel like the grandpa who is always talking about how much "girls these days" look like prostitutes.

The wall of dogs you can choose. Each little plaque gives information about the dog like whether it likes to be cuddled or likes kids or not.


Here is the plaque for the dog that we rented. His name is "Goro" and he likes to be hugged.


Harriet quickly fell in love with the dog.

Kate fell in love too.


I just noticed that the dog smelled really bad.


Erin had about the same feelings for the dog.


They look like a pop group.


These dogs are really long. Hence the sausege name. And I can't spell sausege.


Unrelated to the dogs, this is a sign about not putting things on the doors in the subway. Naturally they chose skis to represent what shouldn't be placed on the platform doors.


You don't need Japanese to figure out what your money will buy here.

Smallest piece of cheesecake in the world. But it was real at least!
