Name: Mila
Age: 6-7 years old, female Weight: approx 45 lbs Breed/Mix: Alaskan husky Sled dog name: Knight Age at adoption: 3-4 years old Adopted from: Burnaby SPCA, 2014 Coat - single/double: single Likes: running, hiking, going to the beach, walks, playing with her chihuahua brother Dislikes: confined spaces, sudden noises, strangers trying to touch her Sleeping locations: in her bed on the couch or with me, or outside on the couch or on the patio chairs or lawn Off-leash time: yes Escaped or lost?: no Siblings: Charlie (biological) and Joey (adopted) Medical conditions: Spayed/Neutered at adoption: yes Known history: from Dawson Creek, part of a seizure with over 12 other dogs Anything else you'd like to add: Even though Mila is still very anxious, she has developed a playful, curious personality. When she gets very excited about something she does a happy dance and howls a song. Session notes: For some of the sessions there were multiple sleddies in my studio - and because I was taking my cues from the dogs during these sessions by photographing whoever I could get, whenever I could get him/her, I got Mila and her brother Charlie mixed up in a couple photos. In all fairness, I had never met these sleddies before - only a couple photos on line - and they look pretty similar at first glance. Of course, once you get to know them, you discover that even though they may look similar, they are different inside... I was schooled by my own project. Mila has a pretty serious tail tuck in her photo (as did Charlie), but their humans along with having each other there made it all tolerable and fun times were had after the session when we all went for a walk in the woods with some new sleddie buddies. |
