Love This – Nikki
.
Guess who celebrates a birthday tomorrow?…NIKKI! Nikki will be five years old.
What can I say about my sweet Nikki…
1. I call Nikki my perfect dog. She just doesn’t do anything wrong…ever.
2. Nikki was a great “third” to add to the Freedom/Casper duo.  Even though Nikki is unassuming, she is very friendly when we have guests. She comes over to greet visitors, but she isn’t pushy (like Freedom).
3. Nikki was a winner. She ran 75 races in two years. She placed 1st in 8 races and 2nd in 9 races. The funny thing…Nikki hardly every races around the yard.  Freedom and Casper will be running around like crazy, and Nikki just watches. Been there, done that.
4. Nikki was overlooked many times before we adopted her. She’s so unassuming that she never stood out. Thank goodness!
5. Nikki is to hairy, what Freedom is to bald. Nikki is the furriest greyhound I’ve ever met. I call her my little bear.
6. Nikki has tiny little feet.
7. Nikki is the timekeeper. She is the first to get-up, first to announce it’s time for dinner and first to start pushing for bedtime.
8. Nikki is an “old soul” dog. I suspect that she has the most to teach me.
Happy Birthday, my darling girl. I love you so much, you make my heart ache.

What a lovely post about Nikki. Glad you found each other. Happy Birthday Nikki.
Sigh. Such a sweet post. I love that picture of you and Nikki and the idea that she’s an old soul.
Happy birthday Nikki! 🙂 x
Happy Birthday Nikki, hope you have a super day!
Where do you get dogs who don’t ever do anything wrong? I don’t think I looked there, LOL.
She sounds like the perfect family member.

As I do with myself, I probably paint a prettier picture of the houndies than is true, but I must say that I am blessed with three very sweet dogs.
Love ALWAYS to Nikki. She ended up exactly where she was supposed to. Such a long journey. Such a gentle soul.
Happy Birthday, Nikki! You do sound like the perfect dog. It sounds like you are truly retired if you do not race around the yard. What is the point, right? 🙂 Hope you have a great day!
Thank you, Miss Patty. I agree. I’m just kickin’ back and enjoyin’ retirement.
Happy Birthday, sweetheart. You and I have a lot in common what with our ages and number of races…. Mum says you could probably teach me a thing or two on the manners front though. hehe! Deccy x
Happiest of Birthdays, Miss Nikki! You are one fabulous and beautiful girl. I’m glad I don’t have to keep time, though. I leave that to the Shepherds! I think you were just waiting for the perfect home and knew it when you saw it!
