Hi,
I'm Niko! Nice to meet you. My mommy and daddy saved me from the
dog shelter, so we're not too sure what I'm mixed with. No specific
meaning of my name, but my mommy seems to always call me Niko Baby!
Why? Don't know! My favorite game is fetch. But the best part of that
game is that I don't fetch a ball or a Frisbee, I like to fetch empty
water bottles. I don't know very many tricks yet, I'm only eight
months, but I do sit, lay down, stay, and bark very well when told.
I saved Niko from a dog shelter. I didn't search very long before it
was love at first sight. We brought her home when she was only two
months old. She was the cutest thing. We have already graduated form
obedience class about three months ago. Now we are trying to teach her
new tricks, like roll over, how to stand straight up and walk on her
hind legs, and play hide and seek. That part she really likes much
more than the roll over tricks. For some reason, she loves to play
with empty water bottles. She has just about any type of toy that you
can think of, but she'll always run after and play with the empty
water bottle. She also loves to run after the laser. We point the
laser on the floor, walls and ceilings, and so determined, she tries
to get a hold of it. But after 40 minutes of chasing, she gives up.
When friends come over, they are intimidated by her size and
automatically assume that she's a vicious dog. Total opposite! She is
the friendliest dog. She loves people. It is automatic to her to turn
over on her back, and ask friends to rub her tummy. She loves to give
and receive kisses all the time. Of course, people realize she's
friendly after a few minutes. The best experience that I have had with
my Niko, is that she is the bestest friend that I have ever had. She
is very protective of me, watches over me when we are alone, and takes
very good care of our home when we aren't there. She always seems to
know when I've had a rough day at work, and manages to make me smile
and forget about it all. Whenever I and my boyfriend get into little
arguments she seems to always pick my side. She doesn't let us argue,
she barks to make us stop, which in return, eases the whole situation
between us all.
She is my first dog, and the best one by far. And that is the best
experience that I can ask for, but we do look for many fun times ahead
of us.
