Kikka, our second Farmdog...
Facts
Kikka is born March 2, 2003.
Kikka is a sweet, loving and tough little lady.
Everything this little dog does, is with the purpose of play, play and play. When she is done with that, she would prefer to play more.
Kikka has learned the excitement of hunting, her instincts further "sharpened" by Maddy, and is a keen rabbit and squirrel hunter. She is still not certain, that geese and ducks were not meant for her to hunt as well.
Her best buddies, besides Maddy, are Hannah (at Kennel Flora in CA), Charger and Mocca. Mocca is a Mini Dachshund, living with our friends in San Diego along with Charger (Maddy's "boy-friend").
The dog she "hates to love the most", is Bailey. The 2 of them are like brother and sister, always "arguing", yet ever so close to one another.
Kikka has worked obedience, only by motivation, for almost 2 years, and has the basics down quite well. But to have to retrieve, which equals "bring back" is still so annoying to her.
Because we think she will have more fun with some action, she is getting a new "job". she will begin agility training spring of 2005. Kikka has already learned common "equipment" on play grounds, and loves to crawl, climb and jump on an over it all.
She has an absolute passion for children, and gives lots of kisses.
"Kicking Kikka" can "fill" a king-sized bed all by her little self, she has a way of stretching out diagonally. Bed-hawk!

Kikka still our "puppy"
This little dog is very precious to us. She joined our "family" at a busy time, and went alone on the truck with Butch for almost a month, before we all re-united again.
We still call her "our little puppy", but fact is, she is getting to be a grown lady.
Kikka is a combination of a tough dog, and a soft little love-bug. Once she discovers something she is good at, she will do it endlessly. Diving for a ball and jumping obstacles, both fall in this category.
Kikka has always loved to be at the doggy-park in Cheyenne. If there is action, Kikka is there, right in the middle, and she is loud, bold and acting like a big dog.
Her determination is tremendous, her and Bailey are known to fall asleep holding each their end of a tug. Whom-ever wakes up first, "wins" the game.
Once she gets something in her mind, she does not give up.
Kikka also sleeps under the covers, and has a way of pushing all of us to the edge during the night.
Kikka is always happy, unless there is nothing going on, then she is definitely miserable.

"Trucking" Kikka
Kikka likes to occupy the bed in the truck. When in motion, she gets under the covers and sleeps.
When helpers ride with us, Kikka greets them with lots of kisses, then brings a toy, and asks them to play with her.
Kikka also gladly takes every sleeping-shift with both of us.
She loves our rear side-windows, in that way, she can stay in bed, but still see, what's going on outside.
Kikka has, as the only one of our two girls, jumped up into the truck by herself. Maybe we should have "seen the agility dog coming" already when she did this.
Secret: If anyone wanted to break into our truck, Kikka would unlock one door, while Maddy unlocked the other, to have more company!
