Hi, I am Makoto!
I am a Hamakko (Yokohama native person) from Japan! I grew up a city boy, but I like living in Vancouver, WA, as this area has a good balanced environment between the city and country. I can breathe fresh country air and enjoy nature in and around the city.

I love drawing, fishing, cooking and of course playing with my two Jack Russell Terriers. I want to become like Hemingway. He was a creative person that loved writing, fishing and other outdoor pursuits. This intro is a work in progress, so I’ll share more as time goes on. Well I gotta get back to baking a key lime pie!!

Oh, I forgot introducing them. The left one is BB and the right one is Sasha. They are male and female Jack Russell’s. They make me mad sometimes, but most of time they make me laugh. Their life philosophy is “It’s just a life, be happy!!” so they help me keep a positive attitude for living.

Unfortunately BB and Sasha passed away several years ago. I missed them a lot. My home had been super quiet since then. Then started looking for another JRT pup and spent 2 years. Kiki has come to my home. Kiki is a witch name. She was born on Halloween day. Anyway she is sweet and fun dog! Usually people say JRT is very hyper dog, but Kiki is not so hyper. She is sleeping or mellow in the morning. Once she finds a bunny in my back yard, she keeps barking. She is still a young dog. I need to train her…Oh well, she is a smart JRT, I hope!

Soredewa Mata! (See ya!)
