Keybu’s name originated from a mashup of suggestions from my nephew and niece. In keeping with his name, Keybu is a funkey monkey that is not intended to fit in anywhere in the animal kingdom. Keybu is special and unique.
As with most of my other ami, Keybu is intended to be firm in the body, but floppy in the arms and legs (and tail ) for extra huggability.
