With a Dog AND a Cat, Every Day is Fun 8

Are you a dog person? Or maybe a cat person? Or maybe both??
Based on author Hidekichi Matsumoto's real life experience, she shows us what it's like to live with both a dog and a cat!

"With a Dog and a Cat, Every Day is Fun is a story that will feel very familiar to animal lovers but especially to pet lovers. Matsumoto makes no bones of the fact that her animals are rarely perfect angels and that sometimes the stereotypes about cats and dogs are true." - The OASG

Forever loved

From silly games to sleepy cuddles, Hidekichi is back to share the everyday joys brought by two special companions: Inu-kun and Neko-sama. Even in old age, their presence fills each moment with warmth, laughter, and an endless supply of cuteness. And as Hidekichi embarks on a new chapter in her life, a third furry friend, Gaara-san, makes a stylish entrance!
