Our Fifth Samoyed - Anika

Summer, Kira and Taeus were all over the moon with the new arrival and welcomed her into the family instantly.

 		  

Although everyone played with Anika, Taeus, in particular, took her under his wing as his special girl and taught her everything that he knew. Which, at the tender age of just 5 1/2 months old basically amounted to how to play together with each of the toys! But hey, he felt cool and she was besotted with him and all his worldly ways!!

   
   

And so, it soon became, everywhere that Taeus went, Anika was sure to follow...

As all Sammies know, there is nothing better than a good wrestling match and so Summer, Kira and Taeus soon taught Anika this great skill too!   

Anika does have a gentle side though and loves a cuddle
 
 
with her Mum
 
or her Dad
 

We took Taeus and Anika to the SBOL Fun Day in 2003 where they had a thoroughly great time. This is Anikas' Pocahontas Outfit that she wore to come second (to Taeus) in the fancy dress competition!

   

Come rain, sun or snow, the dogs love to play together in the garden and some of their favourite games include
hide and seek, chase and a little bit of go fetch...

Can you see me?  Anika & Kira employ team tactics against Summer  Chase me! 

If you carefully get your Sammie puppy used to being groomed right from the outset, they soon learn to really enjoy the experience and love being groomed. Here you can see Anika waiting patiently on the grooming table for her next comb through. The Polarspirit Sams are all so keen on having a good groom that they often form a queue to be next. It's not always an orderly queue though, often they all start barging in front of each other trying jump the queue to be next!   

Anikas loves nothing more than being active and she loved both rig running and agility in her younger days. But, as these two subjects both have their own pages on this website, I've put those photos of Anika on there rather than on this page.

She also loves...

 
 
her toys
 
and the occassional nice juicy bone
 
   
Being a Mum.
This is Anikas first litter
 
And Anikas second litter
Anika proved to be a fabulous Mum to both of her litters!
 

Here, at Polarspirit, we like to celebrate each of our babies birthdays with a special doggie birthday cake for them to share. Here are a couple of photos taken on one of Anika's birthdays.

 
 
Everybody waiting patiently for their slice of Birthday cake
 
All manners are soon gone - along with the cake!

was left within reach of the tie out line! 		 Anika playing with Roksana
