There's something about Niki



Casey just walked in and I was happy when she said the adoption was final. Then she said Niki was mine! I get to keep him. OMG, I missed him and I'm so happy. I have a dog!

Congratulations Pat! I hope that having the dog helps your stress level. Fur babies are some of the best kids to have! I wish you all the best. Hopefully BeeBee is accepting.

Cynthia said...

Congrats, Pat! There's nothing like those sweet pup kisses and their total devotion to you.
She's just adorable!

Cynthia said...

Oops! Sorry - meant to say "he's"!

Vicki said...

Yeah!! That's so great!!

You know, pets have great health benefits, too. He can keep you for getting too stressed out over you-know-who. (or as I called my mother - anti-mom)

What a beautiful little boy! Congratulations!

Melissa said...

Hooray!!! Congrats, Pat!

Bohemianmoon said...

Dare I ask what is in his hair on top of his head?

Regardless, congrats! Puparoos are pretty selfless and love unconditionally and that is the way that I try to love them back (until they trample the garden for the 50th time that is..............)

Oh, what a cutie! I hope you two are happy together for a long, long time.

Bayou Jane said...

Congratulations to you and Niki!!!
I hope BeeBee and Niki will be best friends and I know Lissa will be excited. She is such a pretty little dog. I'm glad there are people like you and so many of your readers that realize these dogs need a good home. I also believe pets help us in our health. They make you feel better
in so many ways. Since she is so small and "I'm sure" so well behaved, she might be able to go to work with you. She just looks like such a little lady!

Bayou Jane said...

I'm sorry!!! I just read the rest of the comments! He is a she!!
I just have a habit of calling anything that adorable a she. But he does have a blue bow. I should be more observant! The point is, I'm very happy for you!

Bayou Jane said...

Man!! I'm really not doing well. He has a blue COLLAR. Please forgive me Niki!!!! My excuse is a have a bad sinus headache. I'm allergic to mold and mildew and it has been raining almost everyday and it's due to rain again tonight. It's like snow is your curse---ours is rain. But at least when it stops raining, there's not 3 feet of rain left behind. But the ground is mushy and moldy.

Oh, Pat, he's precious! How old is he? I'm in the market for a dog also. Is this the one that you kept a few wks. ago, for your dtr?

Casper said...

DD, your life will never be the same and you will love every minute of it. I am so glad you and Niki have each other! Congrats!!!!!!!

Heidi said...

Congratulations Pat!

CJ said...

Awwwww, Niki is such a sweet little furbaby. Is he a toy or miniture? We had a black standard (named Nicky) when I was a kid. He is going to be such a joy in your life. ... just don't let the old ladies get near him. So happy you were able to adopt him.

Christina said...

Congratulations! I am so happy for both of you! He is adorable, and I'm sure he is just loving being back with you for good.
Sounds like it was a surprise that he came back. Did you have any idea that he would be returning? What a sweet daughter you have to work this out for you.

escrow said...

Moon,
I'm glad you brought up the subject of the bow. LOL OFF WITH THE BOW! Maybe it's just on him because he was a present.

All the brands of dog food bima mentioned are excellent foods. I feed Wellness and real food and both dogs (age 2 & 3) have no medical issues and never been sick. Hoefully you will be able to find them locally otherwise you can get them online.

Maureen said...

Good for you, Pat! Dogs are great friends, probably the best!

OMG congrats!! Pets have healing powers, I hope he helps you feel better and lifts your spirits a little to make it until spring (no offense Beebee, I'm sure you help too!)

Nissa said...

YAY!!!!! Congrats to you and Niki! You 2 will be so happy together =)

Silvia said...

Congratulations!

I worked with various pet rescues. Giving a pet a second chance is wonderful for both of you. While I've never had a poodle, all the ones that I've met are very smart.

Anonymous said...

Awwww How adorable is he?

I love poodles...I wouldn't trade my Gigi for anything.

My other baby is half poodle and pekinese.

Congratulations Pat!!!

2 cute!!!
By the way, if anyone is interested Frontline on PBS is having a show this month on the abandoned animals from Katrina. I cannot bring myself to watch. It would be too upsetting.

valle said...

Like Andy Cohen says, "Mazel!"

Peg said...

Oh he's adorable Pat. Poodles don't shed correct? Lucky you. He will be a great aid for lowering your BP.

On an off topic note. There is a report of a monster snow storm coming to the NE Thursday and Friday.

From Accuweather
At its peak, the storm will deliver near hurricane-force wind gusts (74 mph) blinding snow falling at the rate of over an inch per hour. For some people in upstate New York and eastern and northern Pennsylvania, this may seem more like a "snow hurricane" rather than a blizzard.

Cities likely to be impacted by heavy snow for all or at least part of the storm include: New York City, Albany, Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton, Scranton, Allentown, Reading, Williamsport and Burlington.


I hope everyone in that vicinity takes cover and stays safe.

NancyB said...

Nikki looks like a lover boy! Now you have someone to sleep with, DD. Our big boy still thinks he's a small puppy and takes up a lot of room in our bed but we could never kick him out. I am so happy that Casey surprised you today!!!

Mich said...

Such a cute little pup! I am so happy for you DD. :-)

Ella said...

Congrats DD! How wonderful of Casey to surprise you like this! I'm so happy for you. I think both of you are so lucky to have each other. He looks like a perfect little gent in a suit, with his colouring.

lol, yes Bohemianmoon, or when you walk around the corner & see that they've dug themselves a place to lay down in the very middle of your flowers that are now everywhere but where you planted them & just discover it's easier to plant around that spot in future.

Unknown said...

great news dd.. so happy for you. Niki deserves you and you deserve her. Best of luck lady. Take care

ICSillyPeople said...

Everyone needs a pet. Maybe you can teach her to bark at the realtives when they come by. Then better yet insist Niki come for "rides" when they want to go somewhere. Get one of those harness for the back seat where you can stick your Aunt.

He's fabulous and looks like he is dancing with joy to be with you.

Dirty Disher said...

He's just the best, most well behaved little dude! I love him and he's going to work with me. He never has to be left alone here or kenneled. He seems really happy.

ronnie said...

So adorable! I'm very happy for you - what's better than a furry friend to cuddle with?

coffeebean said...

Awwww! I'm so happy for both of you. It's awesome when it's a win-win, you get a pal and he gets a second chance. Congrats!

Anonymous said...

Sooo stinkin' precious. He's beautiful. Looks like a very sweet obedient baby for you.

Casey J. said...

Yeah, sorry about the bow. I just wanted him to look really cute when she saw him! It's off now. lol

Dirty Disher said...

I liked his bow, I just thought his head might get sore. He can wear it to work. :)
