Here's a photo that brings back memories. I don't remember how I got it, but I know where and roughly when it was. I was staying with raikawolf in California, probably in 2007, and I made the acquaintance of this malamute pup. Look at the paws on him-he may be as big as Mischa in that photo but he's still got plenty of growing to do!




Raika, of course, is responsible for feeding the incomparable Kuma, and it was my visits to them over earlier years that edged me ever closer to accepting the One True Faith of Malamute. Behold!
