P!nk Makes Pink Even Better! An Amazing Pink Pup Story Worth Celebrating!

niqqi — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 00:02:12 +0000

There’s no question that there’s something to be said about Pink Pups. I know for a fact that true Pink Pups are driven by a non-relenting with to make the world a better place.

Today, we’re celebrating a Pink Pup with the biggest heart…and that is singer P!nk herself! Here’s the story:

On December 26, 2011 Good came head to head–heart to heart–against Evil. Someone threw a puppy out the window of a moving car off an overpass in Los Angeles. When Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue came to her, they found out she had three broken legs and needed immediate surgery. Because there is a God (dog spelled backwards) pop singer P!nk offered to pay for the surgery, which amounted to over $5,000.00.

We are happy to report, that Stella, the pup, is doing well, and that, according to reports, she’s found a forever family.

For her, for P!nk, and for everything good, we’re celebrating today with a Pink Pup Pawty! Let the celebrating begin! Use hashtag #PPPawty on Twitter. You can see us on Twitter, Tweetdeck or Tweetgrid.

Niqqi Gets Ready For Christmas – The Santa Story

niqqi — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 17:30:00 +0000

Do you believe in Santa? In our family, we do!

Some dream of running away with the circus. I dream of running away with Santa and his reindeer. No, it wouldn’t be a permanent thing or anything…just on Christmas. I think of this magical, fast and furious present delivery mission and I get chills! I can just hear the song on the radio… “You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donder, Niqqi and Blitzen! But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all…” which we all know, of course, is Rudolph!

Wow! Niqqi–me, part of the Santa Team! That would be a dream come true! I love Santa and so does my family. To us, more than presents, Santa brings a message of faith and hope.

My mom tells me that many years ago, when my grandma was very ill and in the hospital, there hadn’t been any time for my brother (who was little then) to go visit Santa at the mall to sit on his lap or give him his wish list. He was disappointed. One night, very late, coming from the hospital, they had to stop at the local convenient store to pick up some milk. My dad stayed back in the car while my mom and my brother when into the store. To their surprise, guess who was standing leaning against the deli counter? Santa himself! “Santa!” my brother yelled out! “Hello, little boy!” Santa said. “I know you haven’t had chance to come and see me this year, so I thought I’d come and see you!” My brother had a smile that ran from ear to ear. They chatted a bit, Santa reminding him of the importance of being good. They both laughed and Santa Then Santa turned to my mom and in a very comforting voice said, “I also know you’re going through some very tough times right now, but be strong and things will be okay. Have faith.” With that, Santa wished them a Merry Christmas. They thanked him and did the same. They got the milk, and when they turned around Santa was gone. Just like that.

Things were rough for my family for a while. My grandma passed away the following spring. There was a feeling of emptiness in my mom’s heart, but she would never forget Santa’s words: “Be strong. Have faith. Things will be okay.” Santa was right. Santa is always right.

Niqqi Faces Her Fears and Dresses Up as a Scarecrow for Halloween

niqqi — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 15:18:20 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, I went for a walk with my mom when, suddenly, out of the corner of my eye I saw someone standing totally still in my neighbor’s yard. Where did he come from? He wasn’t there before! I cautiously approached him. He had a plaid shirt and overalls and corn stalks coming from his pant legs, his sleeves and down from his funny hat. I barked and ran around him, trying for him to move or say something…but nothing! It just stood there, as if frozen in time.

To be honest with you, I was a little scared. My mom explained to me it was a scarecrow…a person-like figure made from sticks and old clothes that farmers often place in the fields to discourage birds from eating the seeds or the crops. My neighbor was using it as a decoration for Halloween. The story didn’t convince me at all. I sooo wanted the scarecrow to say something back to me. How could he not? Still scared, I went back to get some response from him, but nothing happened.

So, I decided to face my fears, and see what it would be like to be a scarecrow myself. My mom made me a scarecrow costume and when Halloween came, I put it on having decided I was going to stay super still and see if I could trick any of the kids coming to my door. You might have guessed it, I didn’t work! I tried sooo hard, but the minute the trick-or-treaters came by, I forgot the whole thing and I went to greet them with my tail wagging! I didn’t want them to be scared after all. It was so much fun! I passed out candy and all the kids said I looked cute in the scarecrow costume and they laughed.Click to view slideshow.

When Halloween was over, I went to my neighbor’s yard to leave a piece of candy for the scarecrow and to tell him I wasn’t scared of him any more. But when I got there, I saw a bag shaped as a pumpkin. It had tag and it said, “To Niqqi.” What? Something for me? I could tell without sniffing it too much that there were dog treats inside! Wow! From the scarecrow? I looked up and gave him a big smile and said, “Thanks!” And you know what? I think I saw him smile back and heard him whisper “Happy Halloween, Niqqi!”

Niqqi Skateboards

niqqi — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 23:36:34 +0000

I’m learning to skateboard! I saw my brother’s old skateboard in the garage and I wanted to give it a try. It was a little bit scary at the beginning, but I got the hang of it! I highly recommend it!

Mix Up In Heaven Delivers Bichon Instead of Human – The Niqqi Story

niqqi — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 05:10:07 +0000

This is the story of how I found my family and my forever home…

There I was, sitting in God’s office, waiting to pick my parents out. You know the drill: you go into God’s office, you are shown several candidates and you choose your parents to be.

It’s a very exciting event and I don’t know how God does it to accommodate all the newborns. It helps that in Heaven, time goes much faster than on Earth. What could be weeks on Earth, is barely a minute in Heaven…so let’s say that things happen fast, and that sometimes…I get distracted.

I was shown in and became immediately in awe with the decorating, especially the wallpaper. It was beautiful angel wallpaper, radiant and subdued at the same time, and just gorgeous!

Suddenly, I realize He’s asking me what I think of the first candidates, and that all I can think of is how to get the name of His interior designer…

Chicago Dog Walk

niqqi — Sun, 23 May 2010 19:56:08 +0000

OMD! It was sooo much fun!

This is what happened: My friend Cosmo was coming over to Chicago all the way from Atlanta to spend Mother’s Day with his grandma. He had the B.R.I.L.L.I.A.N.T idea to ask if any of his Twitter friends in the Chicago area would want to meet with him!

We had so many respond, but being that it was Mother’s Day and some had other plans, only four of us were able to meet: Sid, Bosco‘s sister Ginger, Cosmo and I. We rendezvoused by Lake Michigan and had the bestest of times, as you will see:

Now I look forward to other meet-ups and hopefully seeing videos of more Twitter anipal friends meet-ups all over the world!
