Yanagi... that dog... it's naked, did Arthur do this? ... shaved... why do all the appropriate adjectives sound so indecent?.... bald.

Tezuka! I hope you had a good time in Argentina! Um... you might have noticed though quite possibly not the ... the ... dog. The pink one. It was starving and I just couldn't leave him. He must have belonged to one of the people that came into the morgue.

He is really well trained! He spends most of the time staring at the fish, being stalked by Ohtori's cat or following Yanagi around... actually, that's what he does most. I promise I will try and find him a new home soon.

I ... seem to be being ... stalked ... by a dog.

It sits outside the hospital door closest to the morgue all day and tries to get inside every time someone goes in or out. When I leave, it follows me to the subway stop before being shooed away at the ticket barrier.

I guess it must have been the pet of one of the people who was brought in this last week. The odd thing is that we only currently have a foreign biker and two men we strongly suspect are from the yakuza. The dog is ... well ... it's a pink poodle so...

I've been giving it part of my lunch which is hard because Ohtori isn't around to make me more but I'm unsure what to do for the best. Each time someone takes it to the kennels, it's back by the hospital the next morning.

Happy birthday, Yagyuu-san! I don't suppose you'd like a pink poodle as a present? I'm actually a little unsure what to get for you, since I don't know what you already have. Is there something medical related that you would like?
