  Description

  We lives in a regional city at an altitude of 500 meters. It's a great place for mountain lovers. Our house is 2 kilometers east of Matsumoto Station, about a 30-minute walk and
  is a convenient place to live.
  
  I'm a part-time office worker. I have a husband and two elementary school-aged children.
  My working hours are flexible and not long, but I have to go to the office most weekdays.
  This September, we are having a dog. He or she's young, so it's better if they spends less time alone. Toilet training is also necessary. This is our first time raising a dog. Can anyone who loves dogs help us?
  And I hope you have a fun with my kids.I want them to be interested in foreign languages, now English, to communicate with people all over the world.
