Hayato  a very good,happy boy.When I first saw him he came to me & started to pulling my pants it was like he was saying 'pick me pick me'.There were 9 cute puppies but I chose him .His puppy name was Snoopy & you could see why he was playful & curious .When driving home he sat on my lap looking at me with those lovely blue eyes.We arrived home , showed him to my mother &  named him Hayato.For the first few day he cried at night & I came into the kitchen to cuddle him to sleep.Hayato was a shy boy & stayed away from strangers,he also hated the noise of the vaccum when my mother did the cleaning he would go somewhere to hide.As he grew he began to understand many things& was less freighted of strange noises.He was still very curious chasing butterflies in the garden or bringing back a cricket & playing with it.He was so cute.He loved to play with his green mini rugby ball,Hayato would bring the ball to me & then bark more saying do something master.he enjoyed playing catch.Hayato was a great catcher,but his favourite game was  chasing   the water from the hose around the backyard,barking happily.he was soaking wet & tired with his tongue sticking out as we cleaned after wards.He knew when I said play he became very excited he couldn't wait for me to put my shoes on with his tail wagging at a hundred miles a hour & he wanted to go out side.He was like black flash.So we couldn't say play only when it was time to play, but had to spell  the word PLAY on other occasions  then he's quiet no understand.He also knew when  i said biscuit he would sit straight waiting patiently for his treat.Every evening he knew after my shower it was biscuit time he bark like he was telling me hurry up get your clothes on.then he drink some water,have his biscuit  go out to wee & sleep with me on my bed although sometimes be midnight & he bring a toy onto my bed & he wanted to play.I said 'no Hayato time to sleep not play' but I played put his toy under my bed cover & play hide the toy.Every day.Hayato loved getting his chest scratched & would lay upside down .Hayato would move his front paw to tell me which side he wanted to be scratched left or right.He was always shy once a little white terrier came close to the gate,Hayato ran behind the house & popped his head around the corner & backed.Hayato loved food especially chicken & beef.He also loved japanese sukiyaki,rice & crunchy vegetables like cabbage,beans & carrots.When I returned home from shopping he would go & check every bag maybe there is something nice for me I say that what  he was thinking.In his later years his health became an issue .Hayato lost his hearing & sight from one eye but he was still a very good boy,very affectionate & sweet.Each day he mostly would sleep on my bed & I would stroke & cuddle him allot.My mother loved him sometimes Hayato make mum laugh then make her angry & today made her cry .Maya's daughter Isabelle who is 12 years old  loved him very much every time I see her she ask how is Hayato & where is Hayato ? can I see Hayato?  I know too Maya loved him too loved to tease him saying high class dog.which he was & always will be.Today is a sad day but in my heart he will always remain with me .His spirit will live on & my love for him will never die.Hayato's a great friend & companion .He has given me so much joy,happiness,laughter & love.I'm blessed that Hayato has been a part of my life.Always be remembered in the fondest way.Love you Always Hayato.
