Nica is doing great. She's found a best friend in Ripley, my brother's golden lab, and they are quite the pair. She's got more energy than she knows what to do with and Ripley is the mellowest dog around - but they love hanging out. Nica comes to work with me once a week so that we can hike up in Lynn Valley, which she loves. She's inspired me to run a lot more and we go at least twice a week (along the sea wall, down at Jericho Beach or at Trout Lake, all of which she loves). She often gets comments on how fast and muscular she is. Funnily enough, I don't!! :) We took her backcountry skiing and she had an amazing time - she loves the snow!
So far, she's a healthy little pup and seems to be really coming into herself. She stays in the crate during the day and seems to do best there, but is out the rest of the time. She's developed an affinity for chewing things (which she didn't do at all at the beginning), and I'm trying to help her out by providing her with good chew toys, but she seems far more interested in sunglasses, remote controls or shoes. We're working on it! She gets along really well with everyone and loves any kind of company and attention.
I've attached a picture from the ski day and one of her favourite position - sitting on Ripley. They literally hang out like that all the time!! A true 'odd couple'!
Thanks again for matching me with such a great companion - she's got a real personality and is a hit amongst my friends and family!
