Not everything on Okinawa.Org (a blog, community-based forum, and much much more) has to be about Okinawa, hence, Off Topic Okinawa ("OTO").
In OTO, we'll from time to time create our own staff sponsored threads (some to be of our own opinion and some in relation to our organization as well), and even allow you to create your own threads—be it a joke you heard or a memory you had at one point in your life.
As a dad, I'll start this off with a painfully bad one-liner in relation to this thread and jokes (but, please, continue reading!):
One thing is true about Okinawa, though, at one time, the majority of us, accompanied and some not (perhaps expats), will have a pet, be it brought over or gotten over here.
We started off with adopting Marron, a loving dog that we were lucky enough to adopt from Okinawa American Animal Rescue Society (OAARS). We at Okinawa.Org continue to intend on updating our series, Marron Matters, with places to take your dog where they won't be exposed to too much heat nor too much cold to enjoy longer days together. Maybe, since it's cooling down, we'll make that a focus to release one soon.
As for now, I'll start off this thread off, Show Us Your Pets, with a rescue that I couldn't have found without Marron though—Mickey. ?
In order to get to Mickey, I had to pass by him on my walk with Marron, twice. Each time I made a pass by, he'd be quiet as a mouse. But the third time? The third time I had to chain up Marron and walk by again. A kitten looked up at me and it seemed like with the last bit energy he made his last cry for help. I don't even want to post pictures or video of Mickey when I first found him as he was dirty and could barely walk, but was estimated to be two months old by the vet. I named him Mickey after the three distinct dots on his back that made up the face of Mickey Mouse. ?
The good news: He's perfectly healthy now. ☺
While @Marron holds an official title around here as the Chief Kainine Officer because she's capable of at least doing part to do what she can around here, like posing for pictures and finding new things to point out to the public.
Mickey has yet to fill his bill as he refuses even take snap while awake. In other words, he does what he wants. I'm pretty sure he believes he's the CEO and Chairman with the treatment he gets too, but, in actuality, he just shows up to work and steals stuff, such as our body heat when he's cold (he pretty much doesn't work here but gets paid as if he does). ?
If you like animals, share this thread, as we love them too. We'd love to see pictures of all the animals around Okinawa doing their things, inside our out! We'll even continue to update this thread with more pictures of Marron, Mickey and... Ginger(?). ?
So if you're an animal lover, join up, and even bookmark this page!

Why are cats bad storytellers? Because they only have one tale.
