Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Hello from Saskatchewan! Thu Jan 30, 2014 7:43 pm | |
| Hi there! Greetings from Regina, Saskatchewan! Here's our story of how we got this loving, sweet girl I'll start by saying that I'm NOT ENTIRELY SURE if she is a full husky!!! We haven't gotten a DNA test done, but based on her looks, characteristics, and behaviors, we are fairly certain that she is mostly, if not all, husky. This past summer, my boyfriend and I were working at a fishing camp in Missinipe, a tiny hamlet in northern Saskatchewan. One day, we had some canoers come into town with a skinny, scared, and sad puppy. They had been on a canoe expedition in the middle of nowhere, and this pup kept hanging around their camp. They kept feeding her scraps, until it was time to pack up and continue. They left her behind, and got about 2 kilometers (just over a mile) down the Churchill River, when they stopped to reposition their gear. When they stopped, they noticed that same puppy trying to swim through the reeds to their canoes. She was so desperate for food that she ran a mile and swam through the river to get to them. So they brought her back to town. She was so thin that her ribs, spine, and hipbones were sticking out, and you couldn't pet her hips without her wincing. It was the saddest thing. There is a particularly rough reserve across the lake from Missinipe, so we think that's where she came from. The canoers went around town seeing if anyone wanted to take her, and I just heard about her and said "YES!". I didn't care what she was, I just wanted to give her a home. We were lucky enough to get someone in town to de-worm her and give her all of her shots for free (they have a program where they do it for all the reserve strays). Today, Nikita is happy, healthy, and gorgeous. In fact, she's sleeping on the couch against my leg as I write this. She is great around other dogs (our roommate has two), and ADORES children. We unfortunately live in the middle of the city, but we have an awesome off-leash park here. We also take her up to the cabin every month, where she can be off-leash and doesn't wander far from us. She prefers to be up at the cabin, but is absolutely terrified when she hears the coyotes and wolves in the bush, but other than that, she loves being out there! Nikita isn't a "runner", which I find odd. Maybe its because she knows who rescued her from the wild? I'm not too sure. Her "dad" spoils her rotten, but she's our baby. The vet estimated her to have been born in March 2013. I'm not really sure what else to say, so if anyone happens to be in the Regina/Saskatoon area, I'd love to meet up for a playdate! Heather & Nikita <3 PS I would show you her, but I can't figure out how to add photos |
