Hi,
my name is Nisga and I am a Beach Dog! My love of water is insatiable.
NO beach? The bathtub will do. I am a Siberian Husky - Golden Retriever cross.
I got the best of both breeds. Coming in at a hefty 90 pounds. I am a light
golden color that glistens in the sunlight. My white undercoat glistens
throughout the house. With a good brushing or a professional groom I can shed
four pounds. My mom is quite jealous!!!
As a puppy I was a runner beside my aunt on long runs. One day while running
on a hiking trail (when I was two) - I became lame, tore my ACL - requiring
knee surgery. I handled the recovery period quite well - but have not been a
runner since. My love of water allows me to get all the exercise I need. When
I was four the other back knee also required surgery. Another six months of
recovery and I was fine. I hike, swim and love the long walks on the beach.
For the last eight years I have been a blood donor for my local vet hospital. I
have given blood on six occasions and have saved the lives of other precious
friends. I felt the need to give back after my hospital stays and being a
blood donor was my way of helping. I have many doggy friends but really
prefers the human friends with treats in their pockets. I can sniff them out
anywhere.
My mom, aunt and grandma are there to ensure all my wishes are fulfilled. My
beautiful eyes and smiling face cannot be denied - and I know it. I have made
my annual visit with Santa and he has my secret wish!!
Happy Holidays to all!!
