Meetup.comというのは、興味のあるテーマで人々が集まるオフ会サイト。
私もいろんなグループに入っていて（Jazz・Bluesの会、郊外・スペイン語の会、クロス・カルチャーの会などなど）、「Chicago Area Shiba-Inu（シカゴ地区柴犬の会）」もそのひとつ。
まだGOROがやってくる前にここのメンバーになっていたのだけれど、シカゴエリアにこんなに柴犬愛好者がいるのかと驚いた。
このMeetupグループは月に一度集会をやっていて、今日は念願のデビュー。
参加者は１８人。柴犬は総勢（？）２０数頭にもなる大集会だった。
近頃やっと他の犬とも親しくできるきざしが見えはじめたGOROに、格好のソーシャルデビューの場がやってきた。

Today is my first "social debut" day.
Pedro and Shoko took me to "Chicago Area Shiba Inu Meetup" to meet other Shiba Inu buddies.
Eighteen people and more than 20 Shiba Inu joined together at the special dog park at west south suburb.
Here it is! The park name is "Central Bark"
Today's Shiba Inu meetup members.
I've never seen so many Shibas at one time.
Of course, I am the cutest one
All dogs are bigger than me. Some are good shape, and some are overweight.
At first, I was so scared to be surrounded by the adults that I was just trying to escape from this park...but...
I'm getting used to it because some of them are nice to me and play with me.
Please stop sniffing my
I attracted all the people there
Shoko cannot stop petting other Shibas.
Shoko starts to feed all Shibas to touch them.
After chasing around with other Shibas, I was so tired.
That was so much fun and I learned "adults rule" in this world.
Then...I was sleeping like dead on the way home
