Just realised he has not been mentioned so far, and umm the website is now renamed after him.  So some details

After many months of thinking about this I decided that a pet would be a good idea.  My apartment does not allow cats (who knows why, but this is japan).

I thought about it for a while and came the idea that hey i love both cats and dogs so lets look at dogs.  I found an agency here in Japan that rescues both cats and dogs. 

After going over my list of dogs i had seen online and having them tell me each was unsuitable, I asked who they would recommend. On the top of their list was a little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (Black and Tan). 

To be honest his online photo, not the best. But I thought about it and said yes (acutally site unseen as he was in middle of japan over 500kms away.  After some discussion with ARK Japan over his age and future care they decided that it would be better he live his life out in loving home rather than the ARK facility. 

He arrived 1st may, and has basically taken over my life, in so many good ways.  He is the sweetest little dog and very affectionate. I can’t move around the house without a little dog checking out what is going on.

He needs to have at least two walks a day for umm doggy do do things, and really prefers more time out, but will wait.

He also loves the big walks we do now, that take about 3 –4 hours and wears out a little dog quite completely. 

He hates me going to work and gives me filthy looks, but then I’m all forgiven when I come home and have a little pal telling me how happy he is I am home and when are we going for a walk so I can smell out the area!

To me Tonto is a amazing, I’ve fallen in love with my little dog completely.  My cleaning robots are on the dury about that, but seem to be coping with the dog hair!!
