Nixi is so sweet. She loves to snuggle. She's 2 years old and still has some puppy energy, but that's manageable by throwing a ball for her or letting her play outside with her brother, Codex.
If she's really feeling happy or wants something from you, she'll try to purr, but it comes out sounding more like a piggy. She's very loving. She does need medication two times per day to give her bladder control. She was a rescue dog that was spayed too young and also had her tail docked (before she was rescued) which increased her chances of having bladder control issues. As long as she takes the meds with food about 12 hours apart, she has no accidents. If she takes it without food, she tends to throw up.
We love her so much, but we either have to make her an outside only dog, or re-home her due to my youngest's allergies, and yes, we've already tried medication. Preferable to keep her with her brother.
