Nicki as a PUPPY!

I finally downloaded the pictures of my baby as a baby...

She was so tiny. 9 pounds at her first vet appointment!

The box in the background is what she slept in each night -- her choice not ours. :D

Getting older... about 6 months. And she was BAD! She loved to tug on pants and shirts sleeves. Nothing survived without puncturemarks.

But look at how SWEET she was!

And then again in the fall...

SIGH... there are days I miss the puppy Nicki so much. Now my girl is an old lady. She shows me the puppy's still in her from time to time. I love my baby!

Awww sheesh, I'm about to cry!

Awwww!! Nicki was and is such a pretty pup!

I know how you feel, Jasper is only 10 months old and the pictures of him being smaller(I can't say puppy pictures because he's still a puppy lol) already brings tears to my eyes!

[Tonya]

What a cute puppy! What breed(s) are Nicki, anyways?

[tatsxxx11]

Oh no, no you can't cry; you'll make me cry! Nicki, what a precious little puppy pants you were! You've grown into the most beautiful girl and brought your mommy so much over the years. Be you puppy or senior, showered with purple petals or surrounded by autumn leaves, you're gorgeous, inside and out!

[MariaM]

Awww you most certainly have grown into a wonderful dog! But you were so cute as a puppy too!

[heinz57_79]

You're such a sap! ;) But then, so am I... They get so big so fast, don't they?? She was one cute pup! A round ball! :) She's still a beautiful "old lady".

I so know how you feel! You're lucky because she's young compared to Duke. It makes me so sad. I would give almost anything to make him younger again. Nicki was and is, so cute! We love seeing all those pics. I love the fall one! Didn't know if you got to see this so I'm showing you here.

AWWWW!! She was so sweet, as she is now. I just love her little markings back then, although it looks like they've progressed and "fit" her much nicely now, if that makes sense. :p

I think we need a thread with this many pictures, of "Now Nicki" :p :D

[K9soul]

What an adorable pup she was! I love the one of her gnawing on the pant leg too :p.

She was, and is, a beautiful girl!

Oh Duke, you used to have a silky black muzzle too! Now its white! How old is Duke now? Nicki is 9 1/2.

[KYS]

[jazzcat]

Aww, she's so cute.

Love the picture of her tugging on the pants!

[kimlovescats]

[wolfie]
