Again About my Husky

10 years ago

Apparently I got off on the wrong foot with some folks earlier. I do apologize. It has been stressful, and I really do want what is best for the pup. I can admit to mistakes, but when it came to adopting Nikita, we really had her best interests at heart. We didn't realize our plans would change so drastically in a few months. If I had any intention of leaving I never would have adopted her in the first place. I don't make a habit of abandoning the dogs I love. The peace and love she has brought to us since we had her in our home has been amazing. She is precious....and yes, very ornery. She makes me laugh all the time. For those that had followed my earlier post, I really did mean that we are just trying to think of what's best for her. We don't have a stable environment when we first go back. We don't even have our own place. I know the Husky is a tough breed, they need exercise, and they need to stay cool. You can't just stick them with anyone. That's why I'm reaching out on this site, trying to find someone who can help us make sure she goes to a home that knows what to expect, and welcomes that. I don't want to adopt her out to someone who gets tired of her energy, or her fur flying around, and dumps her on the side of the road. Whoever takes her has to know that husky dogs take time, and work. They need walks, they need attention, and they are going to shed a lot. Some people can't deal with that. I've had a fur covered house for years, so it doesn't bother me. We put the a.c. on frigid and a fan right on her so she can have a nice nap on her couch. She is used to lots of people time, and the house pretty much revolves around her. She deserves to continue in that lifestyle. And yes, our yard is fenced, but it's big, so she can tear around at full speed like a race car.
I guess I really upset OceanHideaway because now she won't even answer my private messages. I did apologize and will do it again publicly. I'm sorry I made you mad. You didn't tell me you had resources to help re-home Nikita in that first post. It felt like I was being attacked, so I got my back up. My bad, and I'm sorry. I would really like your help to make sure she is cared for. If you don't like me, that's fine. Please do it for the dog. We are heartbroken about not taking her with us, we feel guilty, we have shed tears and spent hours emailing people and trying to get something done. It is my biggest concern before we leave, that we make sure this girl is taken care of.
