I had so much fun in the last photography contest over at Rodposse.com that I entered this photograph of Nikita at only two months old into the contest. We rescued Nikita from the APL from a litter of seven pups after their mommy was poisoned with anti-freeze after giving birth to her litter. The pups were left without a mommy to feed them and were in dire need of help. The APL rescued all the pups and nursed them around the clock until they were ready to be adopted, and thankfully, they all found their forever home, like Nikita did. She is the happiest dog around and has brought us so much joy. We will never forget the day we drove home with her as she changed our lives forever and she found her loving forever home.

A great looking puppy in a great home now, what more could Nikita ask for. 🙂
Aw, that is the sweetest comment ever – thank you! Nikita is one lucky dog! 🙂
Awww!
🙂
Just look at that face. How could I not vote for her! Nice to see such a happy ending to such a sad beginning.
Thanks for your vote! When we learned of her story when we adopted her, we were so glad that she would be cared for. The foster Mom who took all of the 7 pups into her home for the APL, nursed them around the clock (every 1/2 hour) and at two months old, we got to adopt her. The foster Mom gave us a photo book too of Nikita when she was days old!!! It made us cry to see how tiny they all were, but we so glad to have a photo book of the most precious photos! Thanks again!
The cutest face ever…good luck Nikita (and Valerie) xK
That photo got her “published” in a printed issue of the APL Quarterly Newsletter. It was so great to see her in print!
WOW! I assume that’s American Pet ???. how awesome to have that as a keepsake! Such a little fuzzy wuzzy….mwwwaaaa!
Here is the link to the published article about Nikita: http://www.clevelandapl.com/pdf/PetPatterQ42010.pdf
Thanks for the link Val, how lucky you were able to get one of the pups and I bet they were over-the moon that Nikita went to you. There’s just nothing like getting a new puppy. The bond they share their whole lives is such a gift. Do you ever get to visit the other pups at their forever homes?
We visit the APL every year with Nikita, and now when we go, we’ll take Bella too! We have always wanted to do a big reunion of all the dogs just to see what they look like, and if any of them look like Nikita. If we only would have rescued Nikita and one of the other pups at the same time – that would have been so awesome.
Of course my friend I voted for the darling furry friend! What a sweet baby she is!!! Like the new pic of the two of you in your header.
Thanks for voting for Nikita! I absolutely love this new theme on WordPress where I can upload different photographs! It truly adds something special to the blog!
Yes it does add something special.
Been there, done that. What a cute photo. How gorgeous is that face. To think that anyone would have done such a terrible thing to the Mom. Sometimes human nature can just make my skin crawl. So glad Nikita found such an wonderful home.
We’re horrified when we watch the news lately of all the animal abuse. We cannot believe that someone could do those things to an animal. All they want is our love and affection! Sitting here writing this, Bella is curled up on my lap….snoring! Now that is cute! When we saw Nikita, she was a fluff ball and we fell in love with her. All it took was one time holding her in our arms and we were hooked. 🙂
