Hi, I am Nikki. I was 1 year old on Oct. 13, 2007. My arm got broken and I was left without vet care for a month, and I had to wear this contraption for about a month. The doctors determined that it would not help my arm heal, so they decided to remove my whole arm. It hasn’t slowed me down in the least. In fact, I jumped into the pool the day they vet took out my staples, and I swam to Auntie faster than any of the other dogs swim! It was a bit chilly, but Auntie wrapped me in a towel and snuggled me until I was dry. (You should have seen her face when I jumped in!)

I have since adopted my very own humans, and I have a minpin sibling as well. He is not as energetic as me - - but I still love him. My mom and dad care for me, and make sure I am warm and well fed and have plenty of sunshine in front of the patio door. I get to sleep under the covers and lay on Mom’s lap under the blankey! Dad walks me and Teddy – great fun! Life is good and I am a very spoiled and happy girl!
