Hi, my name is Kayak and I'm from Minnesota.

A brave little explorer. Intelligent and a quick learner. Loves a good cuddle/nap in your lap. Can play a little rough with his sister, especially when he thinks he has an advantage, but calmly allows her to take his toys and food when she tries. Reserved around new people but warms up quickly.
