Happy Birthday Niki

Today is my dog's birthday. She is 15. She knows things about me that no one else ever will. She has never turned up her nose at anything I have cooked. She treats me with utmost respect, except when I have to trim her nails. She HATES that. She is deaf now, although I am sure that occasionally her ears ring, as she will bark and run to the front door, and be totally surprised that no one is there. Her favorite treat is pizza crust, she can still grab it out of the air. She used to sing with me,` but,` no more. Rolling in stuff is still one of her favorite pass times. Right along with walking between my feet and tripping me. She does not like to eat bananas. She can count, and knows how many people have eaten and whose bowl she hasn't licked out yet. She is very social, and must really have suffered in her life, as I am not. Before she lost her hearing, when the AOL man said "Good-bye" she would get up from under my feet and lead me into the bedroom. Ah, what a girl, my Niki!
