Hi Sherpa, I am Nikon the Wonder Dog. I was named Nikon because I am as pretty as a picture. We are cousins and I live in Santa Fe, NM. I have been living here for one year now and I am going to be 3 years old. I came here from Texas. A very mean unscrupulous breeder inbred all of the dogs at the kennel and I was one of them. I had many things wrong with me. The Good Doggie God helped make up for my sad beginnings by giving me a very dedicated and loving Mom, Roberta, and Dad, David. They have been nursing me back to health with the help of some of our kind family members and I feel pretty good now.
It looks like we are going to have an early winter here and I cannot wait to run and roll in the snow and make nose tunnels. Then I love to track into the house all the mud and water and watch Mom and Dad get excited with towels and mops. What a great game! I’d love to hear about your winter in NYC.
Slurps and Sniffs, Cousin Nikon

It’s a strange dog. It’s as flat as a pillow. I like to lie on pillows, but I make them flat. I’ve never seen a pillow make a dog flat. This doesn’t feel right to me.
I live out here with Sharon. That’s her boyfriend, Ron, riding his bicycle so closely in front of mine that you can’t see mine. That’s how I was able to bike the 40 miles so easily — it’s called “drafting.”
Hello Sherpa – Ozzie, your friendly Bouvier Des Flandres here, with my “little” cousin, Hudson, who is much bigger now.
This is an updated intro with an updated
Sherpa, entre nous, do you know of a hypnotist in Southern California? I’ve gotten in with a party crowd here in Los Angeles and I’d like to kick my smoking habit. I’ve gotten in with some of the wrong crowd here in Hollywood. But I do enjoy a nice butt after a hearty bowl of kibble. It will be so hard to give up my first morning butt with my coffee. That’s the best one! Any guidance Sherpa….? I know you’re well connected on the Left Coast.


I am a six year old “rescue.” The little calico cutie pictured with me here is my “sister,” Mosely. My daddy, Scott, was supposed to help me type more bio info about myself but all he could come up with was that I have a “great, great personality.” I’ll work on him overnight. (BTW, wouldn’t I have a great “dogonality.”)
