Nikki, the Dog of the Day
Name: Nikki
Age: Seven years old
Gender: Female Breed: Lhasa Apso
Home: Monrovia, California, USA
 
   Nikki is the "ours" in "His, mine and ours." When the last of the four children headed off to college seven years ago, we found this beautiful Lhasa Apso to fill the quiet hours and our hearts. We often comment that our kids were never as happy to see us walk through the door at the end of the day. No matter how bad the day has been, she immediately makes up for it in her dancing and kisses and unconditional love! We travel across country by car every summer and she's the best little traveler we could ask for. Never asks "are we there yet?" She just loves to sit between us on the arm rest and smiles across the country.

    Every night at bedtime, Nikki sits next to my husband while he brushes his teeth and has to have a little lick of toothpaste before she allows us to share "her" bed. And we can't go to sleep until she's shared a tm with her Daddy. Don't think she's going to get wet outside on a rainy day while doing her duty. Oh, no! Daddy holds an umbrella over her and they venture out together. She's spoiled beyond measure, but she pays us back a hundred fold with her loyalty and love. We can't imagine life without her! Not only does she alert us when some one comes in or near our place she gets very up set when I leave and growls at me.
