A Change of Scenery

 

It was a lovely day, and Miss Nicki was feeling better, so we went to a nearby small city to walk in a different area.

There were different smells! There were different noises! There was a very, very quiet street and very busy street! There was also a lady who came out to scold us for not cleaning up after Nicki piddled. She didn't believe it was just urine. She must be a very sad lady indeed! It was a short walk, as they are these days, but at least we got to do something a little different.

National Rescue Dog Day

 

Miss Nicki wishes you a happy National Rescue Dog day!! 

The past few weeks have been pretty tough on our girl. Last month we found out she has developed a heart murmur, which can be exacerbated by stress. Two weeks ago, the project to redo our front and back porches, which was originally supposed to have been started last year, finally began. Strange people hammering, sawing, and making a ruckus all over our house! Then a happy disruption of her routine; her favorite Girl and Girl's Husband came to visit for a few days! But even though that was happy - it was still A LOT! And construction continued! Then, while Girl and Husband were visiting, momma and daddy's dear friend passed away, so they had to go to Florida for several days. Nicki got to visit her Auntie Holly, but it was more disruption! Now, with everyone back home, there's also construction going on at the school right behind us. When they drop the empty dumpsters it sounds like an explosion! Today, besides 80+ degree temps and porch and school construction, people came to replace the power poles right in front of our house!! It's more than a little pup with a funky heart can take! Nicki has been coughing hard and feeling tired. We wanted to pupdate our friends about Miss Nicki's situation - but also take a moment to wish you all a HAPPY RESCUE DOG day! Because Nicki the Rescue Pup, in spite of these ruff days, is still happy! XO

 

Santa Paws!!

Miss Nicki got to meet Santa Paws at PetSaver in Victor! She had a wonderful time. Santa even treated her to some of Bones Dog Bakery's goat milk pup nog!!

That was a lot of excitement, but she wasn't done yet! This year our intrepid girl opened her own Christmas gifts, and she really enjoyed it. She got a bunch of Christmas cookies from Bones Bakery, two boxes of Greenies for her pearly whites, and a Christmas Lamb Chop! Yessiree, Christmas after rescue is pretty sweet for our girl, and she sure deserves it!

Opening the prezzies:

  

Success!
