Two magical words 2つの魔法の言葉

Our pug Chai has become a California dog. He loves the beach, and he wants to be a life guard when he grows up. His pace has been slowing down, too... like the Californians. Everyday Chai and I use the stairs instead of the elevator. After a long walk the last thing Chai wants to do is to walk up the stairs. He just sits there and would not move... So, what do I say? Always those two words: "Daddy" and "Dinner." Chai loves his daddy (my husband) more than anything in the world... and "dinner" means "any food" that he would not want to miss. So, to motivate this little friend I say those magical words to him. Then, his eyes light up and he starts to dash up on the stairs! How simple is that?

すっかりカリフォルニアドッグになったチャイ。ビーチも大好きで、大きくなったらライフガードになりたいそうです。彼のペースもスローダウンして来ました。そう、西海岸スタイル。エレベーター嫌いな私は、いつも階段を使うのですが、長いお散歩の後、チャイは階段を登るのが面倒らしい、、。座り込んで動こうとしないのです。そんな時、私が言う言葉は2つ。「ダディ」と「ディナー」。チャイは私の旦那さんが世界一大好き。そして「ディナー」は全ての食べ物を意味しているのです。なのでこの2つの言葉を囁くと、チャイの目はピカっと光り、全力ダッシュで階段を駆け上がるのですよ!なんて単純な犬、、、。
