Picks of the Litter

I found Nikki (right) on Petfinder last August. As soon as I saw her, I knew she was our dog and she sealed the deal when we met her. Her parents were the strays that were rescued and her mom was pregnant when the shelter took them in. She had the litter and the shelter took such good care of them during those first months. I felt with Nikki we had gotten the pick of the litter. Seven months later I made the mistake of going back to the shelter's website and found out that through no fault of their own, a couple of Nikki's brothers and sisters were back at the shelter. Well, after seeing Stella's (left) little face, practically a mirror image of Nikki's, I knew that she had to come home with us too. I shot this picture after the two were only together for a couple of days. Our little family had been missing a piece and we didn't even know it. Without a doubt, I know that our two girls were definitely the picks of the litter!
