Nikki and Maggie Rule the Roost on Church Lane

Nikki, the white 5 year-old, and Maggie, the black 1 1/2 year-old are the happy standard poodles that run the Starr household on Church Lane in Fox Meadow. They are so loved by Janice and Ira and their sons Eric, Matt (and girlfriend Hannah) and Andrew (and girlfriend Michelle). In fact, the three boys do not hesitate to tell their parents that they come home much more frequently just to see the dogs.

Maggie and Nikki are inseparable. They are always found together in the house. In fact, they usually are sitting or sleeping in the exact position. We think Nikki assumes the position and first and her younger sister is a shape-shifter and copies her.

Maggie and Nikki love to be active. They especially enjoy their walks in the Fox Meadow Neighborhood, Saxon Woods, Rockefeller Park, and the Old Croton Aqueduct. They also love visiting Paws Place Ward Acres Park in New Rochelle but would love to have a local dog park to visit! Maggie does have one distinct love/skill - she is ball obsessed! In the house she can bring the ball to someone 100 times to play catch. Nikki just watches...

Maggie and Nikki are great travellers. On a recent trip to Miami, there wasn't a peep from either of them the whole 18 hour ride down. With their beds in the back of the SUV, they are perfectly happy and quiet in anticipation of the fun ahead! Especially running on the sandy beaches!

Maggie and Nikki have distinctly human qualities. They are sensitive, empathetic and loving. We enjoy every minute we spend with them.
