TGIF!! We are celebrating today Nili\u2019s Gotcha Day, it is one year since I rescued her from LA Animal Care and Control. How time has gone so quickly and I am sure Layla is smiling over the Rainbow Bridge or giggling as she watches Nili get up to mischief.<\/p>\n

I remember the day I saw her online on Facebook, her name there was Gladys and all I could picture was me standing in a dog park calling Gladys, I am sure half the park would have laughed at me but as per my tradition I gave her a Hebrew Name : Nili \u2013 which means forever Israel. I love the name because it is short and easy to pronounce.<\/p>\n

The face I saw in the cage and knew she was mine<\/p><\/div>\n

I have been reading Nili\u2019s intake papers from Animal Control as I was curious to know more about her and this is what I found, her intake was on 6 July 2024, and she was a stray\/OTC.\u00a0 What I have learned about OTC for stray pets is that it was brought to the Shelter by a person who found her and I would love to thank that person for saving her from the streets. She was not microchipped so they could not find her family but is microchipped now so she is safe. She was a perfect weight when they took her in, had no wounds but a scab on her head which has since gone. \u00a0They also wrote that she was born in 2021 so she is 4 years old today.<\/p>\n

I think Nili is a Fireworks runner because of the date of her intake but am not sure, the most important is that she will never be alone on the streets again.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite photos of her taken by Jonathan of her looking at Animal Control from the car saying bye bye I am on my way home<\/p><\/div>\n

Nili went from LA to Palm Springs where she stayed with some friends of mine till we could find a lift to bring her to SF, where she is now a San Francisco dog living the life of a princess.<\/p>\n

Since her arrival she has grown so much, her confidence is amazing, she is fearless in many ways playing with big and small dogs in the park, very food motivated which is one of my biggest problems as she eats anything and everything off the streets but is learning slowly not to do it. She got up to mischief the other day in the park, some guy left a pizza in an open backpack on the ground and guess who found it and stole a piece, LOL, she came running to me with it in her mouth and hid under the bench to gobble it up, I laughed but went over to the guy and suggested he close his backpack and put it on the bench so no other dog would get some.<\/p>\n

She loves howling when sirens go off, she has a partner in crime with this and we just laugh, see the video below.<\/p>\n

So, to my darling devil Nili, Mom loves you, I count my blessings daily that you are part of my life and keeping me on my toes all the time with your antics but if you are happy I am happy and life is too short to make a big deal over things.<\/p>\n

I love when she sleeps on her back under her blanket, the Diva<\/p><\/div>\n

Happy Gotcha Day !!!!!!<\/p>\n

Lots of love Mom and Angel Layla<\/p>\n
