Pippin...

Dear friends of Zara's list.

My name is Karen Nidey.  A year ago yesterday we adopted Pippin, the small black poodle with the blind eye.  I wanted to tell you how much we love her.  The year has gone by so fast.  She makes us laugh as she does this funny turnabout dance.... We want to drop by the store sometime and bring Pippin along so that you can see her. To all of you,  have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks again for bringing Pippin into our lives.

Glad you put Pippin's picture in your success stories.  We can't send pictures on our computer and were delighted to see her picture.  She has changed so much since we first got her.  The vet said she should lose some weight, so we have her on a diet.  She shows us the pom pom (tail) when she is not pleased.  She likes breakfast at 4 in the morning and whines until we get up.  She also some how knows when it is 7 in the evening and must have her dinner NOW.   We are at her beck and call and we love it. She is my shadow and must be near me at all times. Thank you once again for bringing this little girl in our lives.  We love her so much. Keep up the good work.

Hi from the Nidey household,
It has been five months since Pippin's surgery on both legs to correct the torn ACL ligaments. She is back to her old self (knock on wood).She perks around and thinks nothing of standing on her hind legs to beg for a treat. The vet said that she still has to be careful of jumping up or down. I can't tell you just how much we love her. Our other dog, Ashley, is not well and having Pippin helps take some of the hurt away. It is hard to believe that we have had her for two years. We got her on Dec. 19th. 2004. She is getting groomed next week as we think she is in there with all of her hair.
Keep up the good work.
Your friends, Karen and Dale Nidey.
