ぼく、北斗です。Hi, I’m Hokuto.

今回の新入り君はセンターからのこの子

My new charge is a boy from a control center.

ヨーキーの男の子

A male Yorkie

フェルト状に固まった被毛にこちらも固まる😱わたしの腕で出来るのか⁉️

His fur is matted, it’s like felt. 😱 I’m not sure I can work with this by myself. :/

このままじゃ、病院に行けないよね〜。

とにかくやるしかない！

We can’t go to the vet like this! 

Best to give it a shot!

で、格闘すること１時間。

仕上がりはこちら

Wrestling with all this tangled hair took about an hour.

And viola!

さすがに顔に手を出す勇気はなかったので、こちらはプロの方に後日ということで…🤗

I definitely didn’t have the courage to try and get the hair on his face, so I’ll let the pros do this another day. 🤗

そして、これがこの子が着ていた鎧！

Look at all this armor he was wearing!

いゃ〜我ながら頑張りました💪

(でも知らない人が見たら皮剥いだのかと思われちゃう⁉️)

取った毛だけで1キロ以上ありそう・・・

どんなところにいたんだろうね。毛玉の中で爪が伸びてとんでもない方を向いていた😭

草の実や枯れ草も毛玉の一部になってた。収容時はマダニがすごかったらしい。まぁ間違いなく繁殖屋の遺棄だろうな。😡😡😡

I did pretty good, if I do say so myself! 💪

(But if someone out of the know saw this, I’m sure they’d think I’d skinned him…)

I’d bet the hair I took off him alone weighs over a kilo…

Where in the world was he…His nails were growing in all the tangles, so they were growing in insane directions. 😭

There were even grass seeds and dried grass matted in him, and I heard that he had a massive tick problem when he got taken in. Well it’s pretty certain that he was abandoned by a puppy mill, that’s for sure. 😡😡😡

健康診断で特別問題はなく（耳ダニはいたけど・・・）去勢手術が終わり次第募集ができそうです

Luckily there were no big problems with his health exam (besides the ear ticks), and so as soon as I neuter him, I think he’ll be ready for adoption!

　　　　　　・血液検査　　異常なし

　　　　　　・フィラリア　（－）

　　　　　　・体重　3.05㎏

　　　　　　・去勢手術は5/23予定

Blood test: no abnormalities

Filaria (-)

Weight: 3.05 kg

To be neutered on 5/23

とにかく可愛い♡直球ど真ん中の私好み(^_^;)

情が移る前に決まらないとマズイことになりそうな予感(-_-;)

In any case, he’s adorable—just my type. (^_^;)

I really hope he gets adopted before I become too attached. (-_-;)

そうそう、名前も速攻で決まりました

Right! I also decided on a name for him right away.    

「北斗」です。良いご縁がありますように

He is Hokuto! Hopefully he’ll be a lucky kid.
