“Niko” A Christmas in July

On July 13, 2009 our 8 week old Coton de Tulear made his first car ride home. From that day on “Niko” has won our hearts in many ways. He can be counted on to be at the door to greet you with a big smile, wagging tail and a kiss. Each night as he starts to wind down he will cuddle with you until he is put in his crate for the night. Niko is very smart. He rings his bell to go outside and walks down three layers of deck along with seven sets of stairs to get to his grass. His favorite place outside is the lounge chair. Niko is also very amusing. He loves to do tricks like roll over and dance. He doesn’t mind when his 5 year old niece carries him around. He loves people and other pets, the more the merrier. Being hypoallergenic and non-shedding is a bonus. Niko has made our family complete and truly gave us a Christmas in July.
