Since
WinterWonderland you have not heard about Nuka. It is because she has been very extremely sick. In February she was attacked -without any reason- by another dog and bitten -very badly- to her throat. We had few step backs because of the injuries. She was taken care of at home -immediately after the surgery- because we don't have animal hospitals. It took several visits to vets, consulting them and all our skills to rehabilitate Nuka in both physical and mental way. If she had turn out aggressive -as the victim dogs often do- I must have put her down because the world doesn't need any more aggressive dogs. I would have managed with her but I am not always with her. That's why I don't handle with aggressive dogs and don't accept or feel pity for them. I am not alone with my dog in this world.
I am happy to tell, Nuka is back, even better than she used to be. While being sick she learnt a lot. It was a hard job but definitely worth of it. This summer she has been helping to teach Go to swim and enjoy about the water.
LittleGo is not so sure about the fun of water but slowly he is changing his mind. He started his lessons already on the last summer but because of his size and fur he gets wet & cold very easily in our arctic summer. It is not fair to keep anyone in the water when feeling cold; so with Go we do slow progress. When you look at Nuka, you can see her fur acts differently when wet. She is mix bred arctic dog when Go is FineFrenchDog.
Remember to be respectful and sophisticated when teaching a dog to swim.
I have blogged how to.
