We found a lil area on a hill w no doggies talked to vet & tho should wait she needs some exercise & not in crate all the time. So we watch her for a lil & carry her & maybe play on our lil balcony. Guessing as long as we keep my eye's on her & we walk on street Nikki will at least be protected but not so lonely. We keep coming home to be with her. Keep advice coming, WE NEED IT.. potty training & teething so much fun..hee he. She is so cute wish you could see her. Nap time for Nikki...We thank you Maximo's Parents. Sweet Doggie you have!
