This month started with a shocking news : Mr.Sakamoto was injured.
His lip was pierced by his teeth when he fallen down with a heavy shopping trolley. People said to call an ambulance, but he refused and went home for his animals. He had been bleeding for a couple of days.
Now he is fine, but it reminds us the life of animals rely on his health.
There was another surprise. We discovered that we had misunderstood the name of a Mr. Sakamoto’s goat so far. For us, it was quite embarrassing as we got a wrong idea such a long time. We leaned his name is ‘GON’, not ‘Don’!
In August we have got not only a lot of support through Amazon wish list, but also are contacted for many direct offer such as food, dog poles, leashes, collars, pasture grass, livingware and so on. Thank you for all. And we have many more occasions to be approached by Twitter. We are touched to build heartfelt connections with our followers.
Thanks to the resume of Yamato Transport Co., Ltd.'s collection and delivery service in Naraha area, we have now two ways (Yamato transport or the Japan post) to send parcels to Mr. Sakamoto. It would help him not to carry heavy stuff by himself all the time.
