This grand lady is a 15 year-old athelete.  Adopted by her human, Crissie, in 2010 as a life companion for Mondego who, at the time, was forced to spend most of his days alone at home while Crissie worked in the capital.  We took Nikki in on a trial for a week during the Christmas holidays, but it took only minutes for us to know that Nikki belonged with us.
