I was sitting at home too ill to work, COVID had ravaged my body. I now had long haulers. My once active days were now resting and pacing. My time now was mostly flipping through Facebook.
So many dog rescue sites would pop up. One rescue, Flirting with Fido, showed a beautiful malamute. Being experienced with this breed, I sent a message. All I knew was this beauty was from the Saskatchewan reserves and that he was abused. Without giving it thought, I adopted him. I gave him a new name, Nova.
Nova became my new side kick. He never leaves my side. He does the happy dance every time I fed him. He’s an amazing fly catcher. I’m sure he survived on flies and garbage in his first years of life. He’s a big goof ball who makes me laugh.
He’s my daily companion. We get out for many daily walks, the dog park or drives. My impulsive decision was the best one ever. While I may have rescued him, he has surely rescued me.
