Coco Sheltie: royal ascot horse racing ladies day

Mummy took me out after lunch time and it was as short as usual. I wanted to walk more but mummy said that I must rest. I was upset.

いつも通りCOCOはショートウォーク。「もっと歩きたい！」とCOCOは不満
そこで「シルキーのお散歩の間、ドレスアップして遊んでたら？」と提案。

Then mummy said that I could do some dressing up during Silky’s walkies. Oh, that is good. I haven’t done it for a while. Hold on??? Last night mummy and daddy were looking up something about Royal Ascot. Daddy said the most expensive ticket was around £800. I wonder... how many boxes of Pedigree’s milky biscuits can I buy with £800?

Anyway, I think daddy is going to take me to Royal Ascot as a reward for being a brave girl at the vet. That is why mummy told me to do some dressing up isn’t it? She meant I should choose some elegant outfit for Royal Ascot didn’t she?

Oh...I don’t have anything for those posh events. Let me see...I should wear pink shouldn’t I? Let me see...let me see...

マミーとダディは夕べ、ロイヤル・アスコットの事をネットで見ててん。
一番高いチケットは８００ポンドぐらいするねんてー。
きっと連れて行ってくれるんやわ！衣装選ばな～。
ロイヤル・アスコットといえば帽子！こんなんどない？

How do I look, daddy? Pink flowery dress and an organdie hat. This hat is too big isn’t it?

ちょっと帽子が大きすぎかな？ということで、コレはどうやろ？
うーん、インパクトに欠ける。

How about this hat, then. Nah...it doesn’t have any impact.

ドレスがアカンのかなぁ。
これはどないやろ？帽子と服が合ってないんちゃう？

Maybe I should change the dress. And this organdie hat which I rearranged the shape. Hmmm...I don’t like it.

Or better yet, how about this straw hat. I saw a lady wearing an elegant dress on the train yesterday and she had a straw hat with some flowers.

麦藁帽子でどう？
昨日、電車の中でアスコット帰りと思われるドレス姿の女性が
お花が付いたキレイなストローハット被っててん。
うーん・・・ちょとカジュアルすぎやろか？

How is it, daddy? Do I look too casual?

「ダディ・・・お上品なレイディハットがほしい。」
これじゃロイヤル・アスコットに行かれへん。キレイにしていったら
有名なモデルエージェンシーの目に留まるかもしれへんやんか。

I cannot do this, daddy. I need a posh pink hat, otherwise you cannot take me to Royal Ascot!! I don’t want to be embarrassed. Besides I might catch some famous model agency’s attention mightn’t I?
