Hello to all!
I have always been a dog lover, an all animal lover to be more precise, and about a month ago my fiance and I brought home a new puppy. Nicci is a boxer-pit bull mix who was abandoned with a tiny litter mate and her sire. Thanks to the compassionate neighbor and her facebook posts we are now blessed with an intelligent, lively beautiful little girl who climbed right into my fiance's lap and did not want to move. Now she has doubled in size, is incredibly healthy, and fills our lives with joy.
We brought Nicci home and introduced her to the rest of the family: two 3 year old cats, Sky (male) and Daphne (female).
My name is Sabrina and my fiance is Jason. We found inspiration for Nicci's name from the Sword of Truth series. This key character, always dressed in black, was known as Death's Mistress for a large portion of the saga, starting out as a ruthless, relentless sorceress of darkness, evil, hatred, and even slavery. After a spectacular transformation she becomes the most vital ally of the main characters and a fiercely loyal, powerful advocate of freedom, hope, life and love. After all I have heard of these two breeds, this is an apt name for her to live up to.
I am here to learn and to share. So tell me all about you!

Thank you all for the welcome! I would love to post pictures of Nicci, and maybe include one for my avatar, but I am new to forums and I haven't been able to figure out how. Is there anyone who can help me?
Reading through the various topics about food, care and maintenance and training has been incredibly insightful. I'm happy I found this site!

Try uploading your photos from your computer on to a site like Photobucket. Then from there you can just post us to links from there to see pics of your "baby"!
