Nicky was a beautiful, purebred poodle. From the day she came home (as my ninth birthday present), she thought that my grandmother was her mommy. She loved to cuddle on my grandmother's lap, and slept next to her in bed every night. Even though she hated being in my room with the door closed, she was my best friend for eleven years. She loved the neighbor's cats almost as much as she loved her little brother, Gemini. She will be forever missed.
