          we were in search of canine familyship and we were cautiously 
          optimistic when we discovered Nikita on the SPCA of Western Quebc’s 
          website.  After a brief introductory walk, our hopes were met and 
          we felt chosen.  On the ride home, she made us feel like the 
          greatest humans ever.  Since that day, she continues to 
          demonstrate tremendous devotion and enjoyment with her new life. 
           
           
           
          
           
          Knowing that 
          huskies can be demanding in urban settings, we embarked on this 
          endeavour, aware of the challenges that we might face, but Nikita has 
          shown herself to be the perfect addition to our home.  During the 
          week, when we go to work to earn her “bone money”, she passes the time 
          snoozing and watching “Squirrel TV” via our patio doors.  On 
          weekends, we have frequent playdates with her pals down the road.  
          Her “grandmother’s” house is like a second home and her playmates have 
          become fast friends.
           
           
          
           
          Gradually, we 
          have been learning “husky speak” and Nikita has been very patient in 
          explaining the vocabulary.  “Walkies” is an extremely important 
          word as is “kibbles".  She is learning to like watching football 
          on TV.  Loud cheering has been an adjustment, but she is very 
          helpful with postgame cleanup.  It is hard to believe that she 
          has only been here a month.  We feel very lucky to share our home 
          with her.  She is extremely affectionate and even joins us for 
          group hugs! 
           
           
           
           
          
          
           
           
           
          Nikita has 
          made many photo-worthy poses, but dogs are seldom stationary.  
          Please enjoy these photos of our newest family member.
