Young Nico was the runt of the Gail x Jimmy litter. He contracted a terrible gastrointestinal disorder, stopped gaining weight and was in excruciating pain …all the while being picked on by the bigger pups. He was a wisp of a thing who grew more vulnerable every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somehow, Nico recovered enough with the aid of dewormers and metronidazole to stabilize him. But he needed to be away pronto to a place where he would get dedicated love and care. In stepped Lucy & Jim, empty-nester grandparents with a micro-dairy in Massachusetts. They were JUST what little Nico needed: love and care in abundance<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Nico with his blue eyes and winsome nature has thrived at the Herb Hill Micro Dairy. He is a shining example of the wonders humans can work with dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nico is healthy and incredibly happy following the geese and chickens around. Lucy is going to begin his sheep herding training shortly …something I never thought he would be healthy enough to do. Lucy believed in Nico and her optimism was not misplaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
