Third R&R story: "The Sleepover"

Happy September! I hope that everyone had a good long weekend with lots of sunshine and relaxation. Summertime sure flies by quickly.

I am proud to say that I finished the third Ran and Rory story (see below). I hope you like it...it's about how Ran and Rory (Oreo) finally became really good friends after first ignoring each other. I guess some quality "together" time in the same house will make even the shyest dog come out of his "shell".

Thanks for reading!

 [narrated by Ran the dog]

For the past couple of weeks, Ritsy and I have been staying at Rory’s house with Matt and Maki. Ritsy is selling her condo so that she can buy a house with a basement, out of which she plans to run her own dog grooming business.

At first, me and Rory just ignored each other. I still couldn’t understand him and he smelled funny.

But soon after, we became really good friends!

Now we do everything together and even chase each other around the park. So much fun! We even stay at each other’s houses each week and cuddle together on the couch. Rory turned out to be a really great little guy and I don’t think he smells funny anymore.

THE END (and Ritsy did end up buying a bungalow with a basement 😊)

Second story: "The Beginning"

Hi everyone! The second Ran and Rory story has been posted! This one is all about Rory and his journey from Korea to Toronto.

Hope you like it (: 

Hi there! My name is Rory and I moved into Matt and Maki's house a few months ago.

I came from far away and now I feel like I'm finally settling into M&M's home. Their place is nice - it has lots of parks close by where I can run and chase balls!

During the first month in Toronto, I as really nervous and shaky on the streetcar. I only trusted Maki and growled at other people.

One day, Matt took me for a walk and I ran away! I saw the stairs that Maki and I walk down everyday and I wanted to run home before she forgot about me…

It was scary - I had to cross a busy road and run down lots of streets before I got home.

Maki was shocked to see me in the backyard: she told me she was very worried about me (?)

Matt came home shortly afterwards and seemed upset and stressed out. I promised him I would never run away again.

THE END

First story: Ran and Rory's chum-chum tales

Hello hello! Well, it's been a SUPER long time since I posted last, but I'm happy to finally be back. I mean, what is 3 years anyway in the grand scene of things? 🙂 Lots happen in a short amount of time, but the most notable thing for me is that I adopted a dog. Yay! This "new acquisition" is the main reason I've decided to start posting again...

Ran and Oreo (June 2018)

Over the past few months I've decided to draw a little comic series about my new pooch Oreo. He's a tiny mixed breed dog and is hilarious and quirky in so many ways. He makes me laugh every time I look at him because he has so many strange habits and behaviours. What a wonderful thing dogs are; they're great company and they're good for exercise too!

Anyway, here is my first bunch of drawings about Oreo (and Ran, my mother's dog). I changed Oreo's name to "Rory", but everything else is as-it-happened. Since Oreo is a rescue dog, I wanted to show how interactions with him and his new environment might confuse local dogs (not sure if this is true at all but I thought it would be intriguing). Enjoy! There will be more to come...
