It was 9 a.m. on the day that Hiro, my husband, and I received
the information of Eleanor's arrival time.
I guessed her breeder probably forgot to call us about it.
**********
We left home at 10 a.m. by my car, Capella.(MAZDA)
It takes 2 hours to go to the airport from our house.
Before we went to the airport, we went shopping for her.
I'd like to buy Eleanor's food and a digital camera.
Why did I buy a digital camera? Because I hit on an idea to take a picture
of our first meeting, and I'd like to show it in my web.
(But I failed to take it. Sorry!)
**********
At first I would buy Sony's new digital camera, which has Floppy disk drive.
But I changed my mind, because a clerk recommended Fuji's digital camera.
Fuji's has no floppy disk drive, but it can work by four AA batteries,
and the quality of photo was seemed to be more excellent than Sony's.
I spent too much time to buy it. "I'm late for the arrival time!"
I hurried up and jumped on a car.
At 2:00 p.m., we arrived at the airport.
**********
In Japan, dogs cannot get on plane with people. They are caged and
have to stay in Cargo room.
So, we had to go to the cargo terminal to receive Eleanor.
I was afraid Eleanor might be uncomfortable. We got off the car and
dashed off to counter.
**********
There was no one there, but a big cage. "Eleanor is in it?",
I thought, and looked into this. But...there was only a shepherd. :p
Soon a woman came and required me to write my sign on the form
and show my ID. When done it, a small, pink colored cage was carried.
**********
There was a puppy who lay down. I was very happy to find,
"Eleanor is alive"! :-)
(I was very anxious until I confirmed it.)
The pup was brindle coat,lookedlike "URIBO" in Japanese - child of wild boar.
The photo shows "URIBO"
with rabbits.
(How do you feel it? :-)

**********
Eleanor looked tired and dirty, because of diarrhea.
It was a pity she had to stay such a narrow space for hours.
I said to her, "Good girl, nice to meet you! I'll take you to your house
immediately". Then we all got on the car and left the terminal building,
very noisy place by full of roar.
**********
When I closed the car door, roar was weaken and we stabled.
But there was a full of bad smell of Eleanor's diarrhea in a car,
and I forget to prepare a change of pet seat for toilet...
