Meet Taku the Dog.

Nola Poirier : Jan 21.2010

The Taku has a new mascot.

I adopted this fine pooch from the SPCA on the Sunshine Coast of B.C. this fall. He came with the name Casey, but the problem was that he wouldn’t come to the name Casey, no matter how many times I called it – not to mention that I really didn’t like it as a name for him. So in December I started trying out new names to see if it would be possible to call him something else. One day I called out ‘Taku’, and zzzoom, he came straight to me.

So Taku it is. It suits him perfectly. He’s gorgeous, healthy, spirited, and he LOVES water. Now I get to call out ‘Taku-Taku’ all the time. I think it can only be a good thing for that to echo through the hills.

This is a photograph of Taku on the beach in Tofino, BC, where he took me so he could see Clayoquot Sound and get some ideas for how to protect the Taku. Oh, and of course to play on the beach.
