I'm trying to remember the name of this cartoon I used to watch when I was a kid

The year would've been about 1998-1999

it was a stop motion animation and it was about cute aliens and there was a little red alien dog who always said "nip nip"

Anyone ever seen this?


***EDIT***


I just found it lol...

its called Plasmo

And the dogs name was Niknik and he said "nik nik" not
"nipnip"
And the dog was blue not red
