Chewbacca in July

from 14:00 to 16:15 on July 2nd, 2004

Chewbacca was sleeping under the triangular roof which　was newly made.
Half an hour has passed, but Chewbacca showed no signs of getting up.
An hour has passed and he remained the same.
After one and half hours, he still kept sleepng.

It is the first time that he kept sleeping for more than two hours in the afternoon.
He finally got up at four o'clock, which is two hours after I arrived.
He walked a bit slowly to the front door and waited for the keeper there.
Chewbacca moved for ten minutes or so this day.
The keeper came out at four fifteen and unlock the door.

It' wise enough for you not to move on such a hot day, Chewbacca.

Light and Shadow

The sunlight streaming through the reed screen roof changed with time.
The sunlight pattern on Chewbacca changed, too.

　

　

Is Chewbacca going to get up?

　　

Got up and moved slowly

　　
He came ouf of the three-cornered place






He is peeking into the house through the 'viewport'.

For five minutes in front of the door

　
Grooming

　
Listening carefully or Biting

* * * * *

I'll go home.


I'm waiting for the keeper to unlock the door.


After the door opened slightly, I can open it by myself.

　


Chewbacca has returned.

from 9:45 to noon on July 18th, 2004

Chewbacca was having a morning sleep at a quarter to ten when I arrived.
He has already finished his breakfast.
He turned over a few times during his sleeping, however, he didn't get up.
He has been sleeping for at least two hours.
I wonder when he woke up this day.

His leftover food in the hut


They are probably the fragments of a carrot and a sweet potato.

Sleeping Chewbacca

Chewbacca seems to be fast asleep (.9:50 a.m.)


　
He turned over and he's on his back

The sunlight streams through the reed screen and
the fence beind Chewbacca seems to be patterned with the feathers of a peacock..


Zooming a bit of his forefeet


Chewbacca who is assimilated into the ground.

The reed screen at three-cornered seen from the other side
Chewbacca is sleeping deeply under it.

　To dear Chewbacca

It is the best way for you to get into the shade and lie still
not to let yourself too hot.
I hope you'll overecome the heat wave this summer.

(The thermometer has read more than 30C for more than a month. -Aug. 8-)
