Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello everybody!
My name is Nicky and I’m a bichon mix of about one, with big brown eyes (that smile) and a great personality to match. I’m a snuggler and a lover, athletic and affectionate – and I’m looking for my forever home.
Mom says I’m unique in many ways. Why I rarely bark (even when people come to the door!), love visiting the neighbors (I think of everyone as my new best friend) – and I’m so friendly that even a stranger can walk me. I’m an athletic guy with a big heart and a smile on my face all the time. (And Mom says when my hair grows back I will be as handsome as I am affectionate and athletic!)
Even though I’m not technically a puppy, I love to play like one. And my favorite ‘toys’ are my stuffed monkey and tennis balls! If you give me a tennis ball, I will chase and bounce it for myself -- then I prance over and jump on it, with a happy smile. Mom and Dad are teaching me to ‘fetch’ to take advantage of all this talent! By the way I also like to play with my squeaky toy and my rope toy. Mom says I was playing ‘keep away’ with a little girl just the other day. I would crouch down when she approached me with my toy, then leap away and circle and run with her. She liked that game a lot – and so did I. Dad says I do well with kids of all ages! I like people and kids are people too!
Also, not to brag, but my Mom and Dad say that I’m a pretty smart little guy who easily adapted to life at our house. I learned house training immediately (and have excellent bladder control) I also
learned commands very quickly. Mom says I can do ‘sit’ all day long, understand ‘‘stay’ and really want to please. And I know the word “stop”. For example, if I was (accidentally) chewing on something and Mom told me “stop!”, I would stop right away. Not that I’m saying that happened, of course. The point is, I’m an easy guy to train.
One other Mom wants me to tell you is that I put my paws out like I want to ‘hug’ you. In fact, if you get near me, I will snuggle right away. If my whole day could be spent playing and then snuggling, and then playing and then snuggling, I would be the happiest guy on earth. How does that sound to you? If it sounds good, would you please complete our application and ask for Nicky? Please, please, please?
Love and hugs,
Nuzzling and Nice-as-they-come Nicky
