Muji is Japanese for ‘uh, something, I’m not sure what, but it’s a Japanese word’. Amazing language, Japanese… such an incredible amount of information can be squeezed into just two syllables! 🙂

Muji is 2.5 years old, and is more or less the sweetest thing ever. Not protective, not shy, just super-friendly.

Another random factoid about Eskies: for some reason they seem to smell less 'doggy' than other dogs, even other cold-weather breeds. So if you bury your face in their fur you won't even regret it on that score!

Good sense of balance, too. There is, of course, a treat involved in this feat, but that doesn't make it any less impressive.
