Niki Gazette

RIP, Niki

This is the human posting...

Niki came to live with me a couple years ago after her previous human passed away. She was 12 at the time.

Last night Niki's health deteriorated. She had trouble walking and seemed not to be able to see. I monitored her health during the night and by morning she seemed to be back to the Niki I knew.

But when I got home from work and Niki wasn't at the window I knew that one way or another it was time for Niki to meet her previous human at the Rainbow Bridge. When I got in the house she was standing, but I could tell that she couldn't see. I offered her a treat, but she couldn't find it. I offered her a bowl of water, but she tried to bite it. So Niki and I took a trip to see Dr. Debbie. They are very nice there. They came out to my truck and sent Niki on her trip from it.

Fare well, Niki. I'm sure you and your previous human Don are catching up on lots of things.

Hello Again!

2008-04-20T09:14:00.000-07:00

I don't like to get my picture taken!

It's Spring again. I like Spring because I can wander inside and outside all day.

Fenway, a young pup, visited my blog earlier this month and requested that I play the middle name meme game.

Here's the rules:

1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers.
2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name or your mother's maiden name).
3. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person (or blogge of another species) for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged)

My middle name is 6, but I'll spell it out as S-I-X.

Suspicious: I don't like it when people touch my feet!

Inquisitive: I am always curious about things on the floor.

X-Ray Vision: I don't have x-ray vision.

Ra Ra Ra Roooo!

I just wanted to say "hello!" I'm 15 now. So that means that next year I'll be getting my drivers license.

I still don't have many photos of me. I just don't like having that camera steal my soul!

It's My Birthday

And I'm 14!

5 Things

2006-08-27T14:37:00.000-07:00

I forgot to list my five things, so here we go!

1.) I am around 13 years old.

2.) My originally person died and now I live with a lovely lady and her 5 doggies.

3.) I enjoy all food. A lot!!!

4.) I like waking the lady up in the middle of the night so that she'll turn the light on so that I can get a drink of water.

5.) I have sharp teeth.

I've Been Tagged

2006-08-14T13:02:00.000-07:00

The delightful Scriberian Husky, Arwen has tagged me!

Here's how this tag is played:

The player of this game starts with "5 weird things/habits about yourself." Then you tag 5 friends and list their names. The furries who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their 5 weird things/habits, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. Don't forget to leave your victim a comment that says "you're tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

Day of Beauty

2006-07-26T13:34:00.000-07:00

I had a wonderful time at the day spa yesterday. I even got a lovely bandana! But all good things must come to an end. The lady I live with keeps wanting to take a picture of me, but I keep saying NO!!!! She tried to get the people at the day spa to assist her, but I was too smart for them:

But then later the lady sneaked up on me at home and took a picture when I wasn't expecting it:

Vet Visit

2006-07-24T14:54:00.000-07:00

I had an enjoyable visit with Dr. Debbie and her staff today. Guess what I found in the lady I live with's car? A Rawhide!!!! Somedog must have forgotten about it. But I didn't.

Everyone at the clinic was very happy to meet me. I even enjoyed getting on the scales. I kepted getting on it. By the way, I weigh 53.5 pounds.

Tomorrow I will be pampered at the spa. It's good to be me!

Pampering

2006-07-20T04:50:00.000-07:00

The lady I live with doesn't have to go to work next week. She's planned some activities for us. I'll get to go to the vet on Monday for a visit, then on Tuesday I'll be spending the day at a luxurious day spa being pampered (as I do so deserve).

The lady had to call my old medical clinic to get my records for the spa, but they said they'd never heard of me! Imagine that! I went to that clinic for more than 12 years, but now they say that I don't exist!

Delights!

I had a wonderful experience last night! The lady that I live with was eating Long John Silvers seafood for dinner last night. She said it was too hot to cook. She accidently knocked a box of krinkly fried things onto the floor. I got to help her "clean-up." She was concerned that it may give me digestional upset, but I'm pleased to say that I am fine. The crunchy things were very, very tasty. I am going to encourage her to drop more things.

On their website, you can get your pirate name. Mine is Plunder Pilferin' Jane the Snake.

Hello Dearies!

2006-07-11T08:19:00.000-07:00

This is my new blog. It's just as genteel as I am! I am a distinguished senior citizen of 13 years who is now residing with 5 other dogs, 1 gecko, and one person. My originally person passed away at the beginning of this year. I had never lived with other dogs until I came here. It's overwhelming at times.

My latest hobby is barking loudly in the middle of the night so that the person will turn the light on and I can find my way to the water bowl.

By the way, I don't like having my picture taken!
