Arrival Story:
We went to Petsmart to pick up kibble, and the WI Humane Society was having an adoption event. My husband has always wanted a dog, and Nikki was there. She had such a sweet temperment, not to mention the most adorable face, I went over and said hello. She immediately gave me kisses. I must say I was hooked at that point. Since we had already adopted two kitties from the Humane Society, we were able to bring her home right away. So far, she has not bothered the cats, and Bella doesn't seem to be to bothered by her, Tally on the other paw, is hissing and growling, but she is staying out checking her out. We hope that the three end up being the best of pals.

Bio:
The Humane Society told us that Nikki was a stray and rescued by a kill shelter in KY. She was scheduled to be "put down" and the shelter started calling other shelters to see if they could take her. Our Humane Society sent the Welcome Waggin to pick her up and we adopted her a few days later. We hope that in the future, all shelters will be no-kill and every pup and cat will have a second chance at a happy home. Please spay/neuter your pets and save a life.

Forums Motto:
I just want to be loved!

My Diary


Snow Day!

I'm having a snow day! We're expecting 16 inches of snow! The backyard has so much snow that it's almost as tall as me! Yippee!!!!

I'm running and diving into it, if there was a game for snow diving, I'm certain I'd win! WOL!!! Mom took some pictures of me playing, and she was laughing and laughing at me! I just love snow!

Right now Daddy is clearing the driveway and when he shovels the sidewalks, he throws the snow at me and I catch it. When I'm all covered in snow, mommy says I'm a "shnow dog".

Hope you all enjoy my pictures!

Love,
Nikki


A new year

Happy 2010!

Last year, I started out the new year with a furmily that I think loved me. I thought that this would be the furmily I would be with furever. That was not meant to be.

I won't bark about my former life, but fur those that are waiting fur their furever homes - don't give up hope! It will happen fur you! It just takes time fur the right furmily to come along.

My daddy takes me fur a walk everyday - no matter what the weather is like. We live in Wisconsin, and it's winter here, so that means snow and cold. But my daddy loves me and every night after dinner we go fur a walk together, sometimes he even lets me decide which way we go. My daddy is great!

Do you know that I've never seen snow?! It is so much fun! I go outside while daddy cleans it up and he throws it at me and I jump in the air to catch it. Then I smoosh my face in it and roll around. It is cold - but I'm an artic dog so I like it! I can sit outside fur hours! Of course, momma makes me come in, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't but then I get bribed in with a treat. WOL!

My momma makes me homemade biscuits and they are sooo good! Whenever mom makes some, I sit real purrty and give paw before she's even ready to give me one! Of course flashing my cute smile works too!

Me and Bella are good furriends - a few times mom & dad have caught us together sleeping on the bed and mom even got a couple of pictures too - I'll have to ask mom to put them on my page. Me and Tally even have come to an agreement too - while she still growls at me sometimes, I think she likes me. That makes all of us happy.

I never furget though, how I was left behind by my former furmily which makes me even more grateful fur the furmily I have now.

Wishing every pup a Happy New Year!

Love,
Nikki


Whew! What a weekend!

Wow!

All this holiday partying has worn me out! Who would have thought that 3 months ago I was on death row because nobody wanted me? Now, I have a loving home, with pawrents that just adore me, two kitty sisfurs that, well, one likes me, the other one bosses me around, but that's okay, and I just celebrated my first Christmas.

I was such a good girl on Christmas, Cody came over with Auntie and Uncle, and then both my Grandpaws, and Auntie Laura and Uncle Rob plus my nephew, Max. He's only 3 weeks old, and I went up to him really gentle and gave him some kisses. Uncle Rob told me it was okay to give one or two but that was it. Every time he cried, I ran over to make sure he was okay. Grandpaw Jim gave me ham, and beef and I got some other treats too.

Plus, I got my own bag with Santa Bear, and Wabbit, plus mommy's special homemade treats! What more could a pup ask fur? Not much! I am certainly one lucky pup and everyday I count my blessings that Grandmaw in heaven came to me and told me that I would be coming home furry soon. Thanks Grandmaw!

Now, I need to catch up on my sleep! I see why mommy says Christmas wears her out! WOL!

Love,
Nikki
