Just wanted to take a happy moment and introduce my newest addition:
deHaan's Secret O' Life call name: Zoe
Zoe is a 7 week old Husky or husky mix rescue (or at least she is supposed to be) - She was dumped in a kill shelter in NC at 3 weeks old with her 3 brothers (who have all been adopted too!) I found her on Petfinder a couple of weeks ago - she was being fostered by a rescue group in NJ - so off we (Kiva, Nika and I) went to meet her and see if she would be a good fit. She was - she is! She is really healthy and very keen - a great snuggler and a little headstrong but also very biddable (yes I have figured that all out in the 6 days I have had her!)
Nika - my Siberian Husky rescue - who most of you know as my zany girl on course - is really my husband's dog who has been his running partner for the last 12 years. This year she suffered a foot injury and really is not up to running with him all that much any more - although they do go out every weekend to smell the roses as it were
Zoe will hopefully fill Nika's shoes when she is fully grown and be a great running partner for my husband, Tom.
Zoe will of course be learning agility too - and will hopefully be as awesome a partner as Kiva - but THOSE are huge shoes to fill - I would be happy with another partner like Kody
- Right now we are working on the basics and house training - and just letting her learn how to be a part of our family and meet her larger pack (of labs, shelties, pugs and all americans) each week at the agility classes I teach in NY. So far so good - she has made a lot of friends, human and canine
Zoe will be making her first public agility appearance at the NAE NADAC trial in Dummerston, VT in 2 weeks - it will also be her first camping trip in the RV - it will be an adventure I am sure!
Tough to get a good photo of her b/c she is really active - but I have attached one -
A great addition to Play~Bow's All Rescue Agility Team !
