Buddies

Taku, being a 14-year-old, has been tolerant of the kids. He regards the kids as someone beneath him most of the time, so he's pretty cool towards them, while he greets us adults with enthusiasm.

Since the kids recently spent more time with Taku, both at our home and his, Taku has been warming up to them. After all, it is hard not to reciprocate the affection the kiddies show (they love to bribe him with treats!).
