Trixie and Toby

ジョギングに行く度にいつもおはようと挨拶をしていた、TrixieとTobyと飼い主のおじさん。以前、この記事でも紹介した。最近見かけないと思っていたら、大晦日の散歩中にイングリッシュベイで飼い主のおじさんが亡くなったと近所のドッグフードデリ（犬さん用惣菜屋）に記事が貼り付けてあったのを読んでショックを受けました。ご冥福を祈ります。TrixieとTobyは一度SPCA (The Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals・動物愛護協会)に引き取られたが、彼らは生肉を与えられていたため、普通のドッグフードは食べないことが判明。生肉は２匹で１ヶ月3000ドル（30万円）程かかるので、心配した近隣の住民たちが彼らのために基金を設立した。その後、Chilliwackに住む、飼い主のお友達が引き取ることになったと分かった。もう会えないと思うと寂しいな。

I said good morning to Trixie and Toby, and their owner every time I met them during jogging. I wrote about them before in this article. I didn’t see them recently. I read an article on the shop window of the dog food deli near my house. It was a great shock to me to read the dogs’ owner passed away at English Bay during a walk on New Year’s eve. I extend my sympathy for the loss. Trixie and Toby were sent to SPCA and SPCA found out these dogs were fed only raw meat and they didn’t eat normal dog food. Raw meat diet costs about $3000 a month for the two, so neighbors who were worried about the dogs made a fund for them. Later, I found that a friend of the owner in Chilliwack is now looking after the dogs. I will miss them.
