Red Chow Chow girl - Nico Blue

(los angeles, CA, USA)

Nico Blue and I rescued each other a year ago last November. I loved her from the very first minute I saw her, but it took her a while to feel the same way about me! She is 5 years old but runs around like a puppy.

Nico loves to play with other dogs, especially the smaller ones that she can chase. She is extremely patient with puppies who seem to want to pull on her mane all the time.

She is also great with little kids. She's not quite sure what to do with kitties when they don't run away from her.

Nico is a great watch dog, and is always on guard even at friend's houses. In true chow chow style, she only listens when she wants to, but she is being trained slowly and patiently and probably without her knowledge!

We have been on several long road trips, and it was just during this last one over Christmas that she discovered the joys of sticking her head out the window at high speeds.

Looking back at the pictures of her from the rescue website, not only does she act like a completely different dog, but she looks like one too!

I love my Nico Blue!
