I just wanted to touch base and let you know how Inuki is doing.
He's in Victoria with us and loving his daily walks and swims in the
ocean. I run with him as much as I can and he spends tons of
time outside. He's amazing with ALL other animals and loves to
play with every dog he sees. He's getting much better with male
strangers, and is pretty relaxed with any woman that he meets.
Especially French ones! It's funny - if he hears girls talking
French he automatically gets excited ... remembering his time in
Aylmer.
He's doing great and a wonderful companion and a gentle, good-natured
and amazing partner. Hope you guys are well and enjoying the
summer.
Update November '20
I
just wanted to connect with you and let you know how one of your
animals is doing...several years after we adopted. My wife and I
adopted this guy in 2013 when we lived in Ottawa. We moved soon after
that to
Victoria,
and now live in Tofino, BC. When we first got Inuki (we changed his
name to Nuka....long story) he was very afraid of men and strangers;
somewhat less if they were walking other dogs. He was fond of ladies,
especially French ones, as I think he got to know many of them at the
SPCA in
Quebec. After about 2 years he let other
men touch him. A year later...even a couple could touch his face.
The next year....he would allow pets from a few more people. It took
awhile, but he's very comfortable with most people now, and is a warm,
gentle and loving companion for us and our close friends. He is an
amazing dog. He runs when we mountain bike. He's on the beach every
day. He's a few years older now, but still full of energy. Everyone
asks if he's a puppy still. We have a 5 year old daughter and they are
very close. Nuka is happy and healthy and we are so lucky to have
found him that day in
Gatineau.
Thanks for all that you do and for giving these beautiful creatures
such wonderful opportunities. And thanks for connecting us to your
community through these animals.
All
the best to you and your teams!
