Best Friends
Bev and young Nikki the day we brought her home.
Every one of our dear animal family members has come to us through some kind of rescue. Each personality has been different and a complete joy.
We found Nikki during a visit in 1999 to Petsmart on a Saturday morning. We saw many beautiful golden retrievers and other dogs hoping for a home. We wished that we could have taken them all! Then, we spotted a large cage in a side room all by itself. In it was this big, quiet animal just standing there looking straight ahead. I went over and put my fingers through the cage and rubbed her side. She glanced my way and then returned to her stance. When Bev came over and reached in to pet her their eyes met and she leaned into Bev's rubbing. The bond was made and there was no way we could walk away, leaving her. Nikki was a precious family member and enjoyed a loving home the rest of her life. There are so many out there that need good homes. Please enjoy the pictures and consider helping some other little guy yourself. See the links below to a number of wonderful rescue and adoption service agencies. Your life will change for the better if you do.
