We have two new Hungarian family members - Juno and Mikan. Juno is an adorable, very mixed-breed dog who came to us from a shelter in Erd last December. Her name comes from the play "Juno and the Paycock" by Sean O'Casey. Mikan, a gorgeous ginger kitten, joined us in June aged just 5 weeks. She was then a tiny orange ball and her name is Japanese for mandarin orange.
