Nikki's Story

Nikki is not the only rescue dog I have had, she is the 2nd. The 1st was a dog I picked out of the pound as a boy. Nikki is now 11 years old. When I 1st got her, she was scared, skinny, and only 7 months old. The first few days were tough, and I wondered if I had done the right thing. Today she is such a sweetheart.........The gray is starting to show in her face, and I know the day we part is coming much sooner than I would like. It may still be many years away, and she will be happy and well cared for forever. She is still full of life. I have no idea what kind of dog she is.....some say she has pit bull in her face, the pound had her description as a "jack russell mix" which I think holds water, however she weighs 45 lbs and is way bigger than a jack. I think she may have both pit bull and brittany spaniel in her. Any way I love her with all my heart. I'll pet her for a while and have dog hair everywhere, lol. I love this dog!!! I will always look for unwanted dogs as long as I live. They are special.
