Quick Bio:

-purebred

-dog rescue

Birthday:
December 20th 1999

Likes:
Ice cubes; stealing & chewing up tissue; treats and food of any kind. She also enjoys playing with my shoes. She doesn't chew them or hurt them, just likes to run around with one of them in her mouth.

Pet-Peeves:
Getting her feet wet. Going outside when it's raining.

Favorite Toy:
Anything she can take away from one of the other dogs. She especially likes her new pink plush Barbie phone she got for Christmas (she has to share with Jasmine).She also likes to play with my shoes (see above).

Favorite Food:
Pretzels and peanut butter.

Favorite Walk:
She would rather stay home. She is more comfortable in her own environment.

Best Tricks:
Crawling. It's her default behaviour.

Arrival Story:
I adopted her from a rescue organization in 2002. At that time she was 2 years old, and I was her 5th home. She still has a few timidity issues in unfamiliar environments, but is doing much better with this.

Bio:
She has been doing therapy work for a couple of years now. I was doing it for socialization purposes, as well as to share her love. She is the kind of dog who loves to cuddle in the bed, so she makes a lot of bedridden patients happy. Nikki keeps all the others in the pack in line, so we call her the Enforcer . . .
