Birthday: February 1st 2005 Likes: Running at supersonic speed in our back yard, and romping around with Mario. Pet-Peeves: Sudden movements, coming inside. Favorite Toy: Mario! Favorite Food: Happy Heart & Happy Hips strips Favorite Walk: He loves to run around the back yard and the local dog park. Best Tricks: We haven't taught him any yet. Not a priority in his case. Arrival Story: Nico spent his first 2 years of life neglected and abused in someone's garage. He was rescued by an angel named Valerie who provided him with a loving foster home for the next 5 months. We found out about him on line and adopted him from her.
Nico and Mario, our original IG, hit it off right away and remain the best of buddies. Nico even befriended our cat, Bagheera. But it took a long time for Nico to warm up to us humans. He would flinch at the slightest touch. But little by little his basic IG nature has emerged -- affectionate, happy, and extremely mischievous. He is a joy to have around. Bio: One year later, Nico's bald spots have all filled in with that velvety IG fur you love to pet. He's solid muscle! He's made himself at home, but he still has little paranoid quirks that you never know when they're going to come out. Forums Motto: "What was that noise!?!?"
