Well Nikki is enjoying playing laser light with NONOBADKITTYNOAH. Steve decided to get the cats all wound up and see how Nikki did with it. Well Nikki and NONO were barreling around knocking into stuff left and right. I almost peed myself and had to share this with others. Anyone who hasn't tried laser lights GO GET ONE.

When asked if Nikki is good with cats, NONOBADKITTYNOAH says, "He's ok as long as he doesn't hog all the laser light and shares the ability to pounce on it!"

Well Nikki has passed into the realms of one of our most enjoyable foster dogs. To say the least, he's probably one of the easiest ones we've ever had (still waiting for the other shoe to drop). We have no concerns with Nikki and the 5 cats. He couldn't care less. He even passed the NONOBADKITTYNOAH racing challenge where Noah races in front of the dogs trying to get them to chase him. Nikki was the only one still laying there watching TV. It seems that the only time Nikki knows they are there is when Noah wants to play with the laser light. Nikki has gone from watching at a distance when the other dogs play to joining in on the destruction of the yard. He is presently working on killing Matty's favorite toy squeaky frog and mastering his skills at catch. He already learned DROP IT, leave it and EH EH, he's even tolerating me poking and prodding him ( I have yet to get a poor responce). The thing we love the most is his constant WOOWOOING. Make eye contact and he'll tell you all about what he did today or what his naughty foster brother Olsen is up to. I might just have to keep him around. He is so smart when it comes to picking up on what is ok and what is not that he is snitching on Olsen when he gets into something he remembers as a EH EH and lets me know. He has made himself quite comfortable and besides a few little accidents including my liquor cabinet and Jose Cuervo he has been a housebreaking dream. It is a great feeling to have such a pleasant welcome home WOOWOOING and lots of kisses after a day at work. We are enjoying every second of this happy guy.
