| Yumi and Mukkun hugging on our last visit to Yumi's hometown before we
moved from Japan to Canada. (The name is pronounced "Moo-koon" :-)
Mukkun lives with Yumi's parents in northern Japan. He's a loving, crazy bundle of
energy.
The word "Sampo" (walk) sends him into a frenzy of wild acrobatics.
And many walks we've taken, along the rice fields and forests.... |
