My Mom really likes ice cream. So, my Dad searched online for some dog-friendly ice cream shops. To our suprise, he found one that not only allows dogs, but makes ice cream for dogs. The shop is called Fell+Cole, and it is located in Hongdae. You can imagine how exciting that was for me.

I’m back! With a New Little Brother!

Sorry that I haven’t posted in a while.  My Dad and I will try to update my blog more frequently.  Also, as you can see, I have a new brother.  His name is Turbo, and he is 3 months old.  He is kinda annoying, but I guess I will have to get used to him.

Anyway, I think the easiest way to catch you up on my summer would be to do a series of summer recap posts.  Hopefully, you will be interested in what I did (and wore) over the summer.

More updates coming soon.  Thanks!

There are two small mountains within walking distance of our apartment.  Seoul is nice that way; it is a huge urban metropolis, but there are plenty of nice parks, mountains, etc. all around.

My dad recently returned from a trip to his home town, NYC.  He got me two hoodies, which are perfect for early spring.  This is the first one.  Here are some pics from when dad and I went to Dogok Park, one of the mountains near our apartment.

Soccer at Han Gang Park

IMG_0285

My favorite thing in the world is playing soccer.  If mom and dad don’t stop me to rest, I would play until I collapsed from exhaustion.  So, no matter how cold it got, we would always find time to get all bundled up and go to a park to play soccer.

One day this winter, mom dressed me in three layers:  my check shirt, denim jacket, and sheepskin vest.  It may seem like a lot, but it didn’t hinder my mobility.  I am a star soccer player, after all.  One of these days, I’ll post some videos of me playing soccer.

It was really cold that day.  Mom was bundled up in her Parajumpers coat and Sorel boots.  “Mom, give me the ball!”
