Dyed diminutive dog

Japan’s fondness for dainty and diminutive dogs shows no sign of fading, with miniature mutts milling about all over the metropolis. But having a canine that is considered cute is apparently not good enough anymore, with clothes and carrying contraptions deemed de rigueur — the former, in particular, now so normal that it’s increasingly unusual to see a not so big dog naked.

And then even when one does, it seems natural colourings clearly aren’t cute enough.

And especially so it would seem when it’s the type of pet that, even when the owner is preoccupied with taking pictures, is perfectly happy to not only sit still.

With the added bonus of this furry little thing being particularly adept at giving foreigners dirty looks for having the effrontery to fire off some furtive photos.

Cool canine

The sight of dogs being carted or carried around the capital isn’t an uncommon one, but this little fella is undoubtedly only being lugged about because he’s way too cool to walk — let alone foul the pavement like his family.

Queen Elizabeth love hotel love

Whether it be bobbing up and down like a boat.

Or going down like the Titanic.

The Queen Elizabeth love hotel is definitely the place to dock.

Or plunge an anchor even.

Plus it’s also where there are seamen gags aplenty, so to speak.
