That is great that Nikko will have buddies! Definitely get into a routine of walks, little play and training sessions (10 minutes or more), etc. Having things to look forward to at specific times every day helps reduce anxiety.
My second Yorkie, Teddy, was 8 months old when I brought him home. Like Nikko, he was accustomed to having lots of other dogs around. Teddy definitely needs interaction with other dogs. My older boy was fine believing he was the only dog in the world.
