SESSION NOTE ~ 

Niv has the biggest seal eyes and she is very smart about how she uses them.
On the day of her session she used them to ask for treats... lots of treats (who am I kidding, she always uses them to ask me for treats). And pets. Lots of pets. 
Niv is such a sweet, polite dog who goes about life in town, but really shines when out in the forest on walks. When she comes over I put down my yoga mat on the floor because she's unsure of the floor covering changes - wood, area rugs, wood, tile... it can be confusing. 
Niv is a survivor of the Whistler cull in 2010.
