American & Canadian Ch. Alimar's Anica Kaimar "Nica"
(Ch. Camri's Black And Tan Rebelion x Ch. Kabik's JaJe'Ma Original)
Without a doubt "Nica" was one of the smartest Afghans I have lived with and she was always up to something! A devil, a clown, & escape artist extraordinaire. I have many, many amusing stories about her … I like this one.
As a gift to my Mother I bought & planted several fruit trees. Nica's special favorite was the Plum tree. Left to amuse herself one afternoon, I looked outside to see Nica pulling with all her might on the tree which now clung to earth by a single root.
I ran to the tree’s rescue propping it up & pushing it back into the ground. This was the first of MANY battles between Nica & the tree. The tree was rescued many, many times over the next few years. It always survived, but it never had a single plum.
Finally the day arrived - Plums! We wait in anticipation as they start to ripen, but we never got to taste one. In two days, Nica picked and ate EVERY plum from the tree. Only a month later my smartest Afghan left me.
Nica rests now beneath the Plum tree … and I’m pretty sure she would have liked it that way.
