Tikka, the Dog of the Day
Name: Tikka
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Golden Retriever
Home: Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada
 
   Tikka is a wonderful pet. She loves going for walks in the woods and she loves to swim. One of her favorite summertime games is for us to throw rocks into the water and she will dive under and get them. Most of her time is spent with her best friend "Ben" our other Golden Retriever.

    She is very laid back, however, say the words "Who wants to go picking blueberries" or "Let's go for a walk" and her energy level goes up very quickly. She and Ben are great pals and he is extremely energetic, so they keep each other well exercised. The only time she shows any protective instincts is if she thinks Ben is being threatened. She is very protective of him.

    Tikka has competed in a dog trick competition in conjunction with a fund-raising activity that we take part in each year to raise money for the SPCA in our area and has won, two out of three times. She is able to count your fingers when you hold them up. You can do it in any order up to five and she will get it right every time.
