Attached are a few pics of Tawny the Adorable Husky whom I was fortunate to adopt on Monday. Because she is so affectionate and loves to cover you with kisses, my daughter and I have chosen as her new name "Kisu" which is modern Japanese for "kiss". I have since discovered that in the Salish language, Kisu refers to the prized steelhead trout found in our BC waters. When my daughter adopted her Husky/Malamute several years ago, she similarly changed her name to an unusual one that seemed to suit her, and Lua has become a wonderful, loving companion.
As you will see from the photos, Kisu has immediately settled into her new home. She particularly loves her new bed! She was spayed last week while at the shelter, and is looking forward to having the sutures removed next week and retiring the cone which she has to wear at all times unless closely supervised to prevent her from damaging the sutures and the large incision. As you know, everyone who has met Kisu loves her, and she drew many raves today from other dogwalkers: "She's beautiful!" "What a wonderful dog!" I am so happy and proud to be her adopted Pa(w), and look forward to many years together.
Thanks to all of you at RAPS for the wonderful work you do, caring for so many animals in their times of great need and finding so many of them, like Kisu, a loving home. With very best wishes,
Abe
