About *Professor Nikidik Wicked (Affenpinscher) in Pittsburg

*Professor Nikidik Wicked is waiting for you at Umbrella of Hope in Pittsburg, CA 94565. Professor Nikidik aka DOC is an 8 yr old, 5 lb Affenpinscher Mix. He came to us with an eye injury that caused glaucoma to form. As he is blind in this eye, the best course of action is to remove it because otherwise he would need drops 4 x's a day for life to keep it from becoming painful. Since he cannot see out of it, that seems absurd and removing it is the best option. Update: Nikidik had the necessary surgery to remove his bad eye. He was neutered and had a dental as well, loosing most of his teeth. Recovery went smoothly and Nikidik is back to his normal crazy self. A few things about Nikidik from his foster home: As with his breed, he is confident and spicy! When he loves you he LOOOVVVEESSS you but he can be choosy about who is an instant friend. Sometimes he requires bribes in the form of treats. He does not like being grabbed, so we do not recommend him for homes with small children. Our best estimate is that he would do best with kids 12+ but all kids are different and we are open to discussion. Housebroken is not a title he can claim 100%…yet, but he is working very hard at pleasing his foster family. . He wears a belly band 100% of his indoor time otherwise you may find surprise “puddles” if you miss his cues to go outside. We believe in his former home, he was using pee pads because he hated going on the grass initially. He is much better at walking on the grass now. He has no problem pooping outside if the timing is right but if we take our eye off him for a minute between him being ready and getting that leash on him, well we will find his business in another area. At least he is consistent and we know where to look. We admittedly initially gave him too much freedom to roam around. We are back on supervised house exploration. We have tried kennel training him but he HATES it. After multiple attempts, each resulting in 4 hours of whining and bar
