Oh gosh, thank you again! You’re making me blush 
I don’t precisely know why the おひるね is there either, but both of the ‘sequel’ doggy detective books are also distinguished by a generic concept like おかわり or similar. I’m not sure it’s supposed to be strongly relevant to the specific book (although おかわり specifically is a nice little pun for the second book).
The sequels to the Minami-ke anime series are (in order) おかわり, おかえり, 別腹, お待たせ, ただいま and 夏休み
I have officially finished reading and understanding my first Japanese book! 
I am looking forward to the next book 
in a week’s 2 weeks’ time, and I do believe my more-relaxed approach combined with my new method of note-taking will allow me to keep up.
Thanks very much again to all those who commented and who contributed to the vocab sheet. 
Woooo, awesome! Congratulations, Rowena 
And just in time to have a nice relaxed break before we start わんわん seems like you managed to get through these last few weeks fairly swiftly!
I was doing 2 double-page spreads per study session, twice a day - the increased speed is due in part to not trying to translate absolutely everything, but a lot is also due to being so much more familiar with verb forms and the like. It is really satisfying to be at such a point, and makes me really eagar for April 6th to get here!
I finally finished reading this book. I wanted to thank everyone who contributed to the vocab sheet and with questions and answers. All of it was very helpful to me.
I really hope there will be another book (or even more) so we can get to know all these new cats!
Nice! And yeah, I really hope there’s a third kitty installment some day. If only for the symmetry
Ooh, don’t forget to update your status in the わんにゃん home thread!
