I woke up by Mamoru. Geez this dog won't give me a break but I love him very much.

Mamoru 守 means protect
Father gave me and my sisters a puppy so I chose a gray one because I love silver and gray colors. Even white. He's handsome! Even if he's the runt of the litter of 10 pups, he's strong and big to me. My sisters chose female ones and Miyoko's one requires play time almost every hour. LOL. Mamoru would play with me if I go to the backyard and enjoy some sun.
"Morning Mamoru." I muttered as he whines and walks around the bed. He sniffs my knee brace and whined some more. Everyday he would wake me up just like this. He would sleep next to me which I love very much. He would be next to me when I am in pain or when I'm stressed. I stretched as I started to sit up and look at the time.
"Right on time." I muttered to myself. It's 6 in the morning and Father would take us to school by 7. But since Emiko can drive now, she'll take us. I have an hour to get ready, do my PT exercises and then prepare for school and volleyball. I chuckled happily as I ruffled Mamoru's head. He then licks my hands and face as I gave him a big hug. "I love you, Mamoru." The only one in my heart. Only animal in my heart. Samu-kun......he's a tattoo on my heart which I can't remove even if I want to.
So annoying these feelings. But I persist and live life.
As I brushed my teeth, wash my face, pee, brush my hair, change into my dark gray tracksuit, I sat at the foot of my bed, my back against the wood and my legs straight and out. I started to do my physical therapy exercises. All while Mamoru who was on my bed, jumps down and sits right next to me. I smiled and gave him attention.
I kissed his cheek and started to bend my knee while he starts to sniff it. All to see if it's alright. "Today, I start my 2nd year Mamoru." I talk to my dog. So what? He would listen anyways. "I can finally play volleyball. I don't care if I'm rusty. I can bend it. Do some squats and even Father was spiking to me a few days ago. I should be fine, right?"
He tilts his head and whines a bit. I pursed my lips. "Y'know, you aren't much of hyping people up eh?"
He starts to wag his tail and get into a playful position as I smiled. "Then why did you whine? You scare me sometimes when you whine, you big baby." He barked softly and pants while smiling. He sits down and his eyes are the same level as me. I wish he can say words like a human. Sometimes, I don't really talk to my sisters since it's usually about school, boys, and volleyball.
I didn't want to talk about neither so I talk to Mamoru. Since it's the first day as tryouts as well and my first morning practice, I prayed for safe walking and playing. And don't let my injury be an excuse.
I stand up and walked slowly, carefully, feeling the weight on both my knees. Packed my school bag and my duffel bag. I opened the door slowly as Mamoru walks next to me. I hear Miyoko's dog barking as we passed her room and head downstairs into the genkan. I placed my bags on the chairs in the kitchen as I started to feed Mamoru.
