Today I got an exclusive interview with Peggy Holtz( A.K.A, my mom). She told me about beloved,(grumpy was my comment,) adored, and awesome Nikata. But we call her Kita or mom calls her Princess. Nikita was found in the woods with her sister. They were abandoned. The shelter picked them up and gave Nikita to my parents in 2000.
But Nikita didn't get started off that well. Her lips were sucked up in a vacuum cleaner and she got stung on the face by a wasp and her face swelled up. Yeah. Really. And she was younger than a year. And she dug in the yard. She found a mud pile. It got messy.
But as the years went by, she lost her athleticism. She got arthritis and she now sleeps a lot. But,once in while, Kita will have a spurt of energy.
She has been a good mom to Hoover. She is also a good companion. She is a little independent.

What a beauty.......even covered with mud! When Annui was a pup it looked like bombs had been dropped in my backyard. She was vey helpful in digging out moles and happily brought each inside delighted with her present to me!

Nikita used to wait by mole holes. Hoover doesn't have the patience to wait. There was one time the two made a nice trench out in the backyard, not sure they caught anything. We're fortunate the dogs never delivered a present to us.
