We LOVE our wonderful Coton de tulear companion, Miko

Our 14 month old Coton, Miko (AKA "the beast) is so loving and full of personality - my husband and I cherish every silly moment with him. He was amazingly easy to housetrain and he is so well behaved overall! Plus, he does not mind getting bathed or groomed - which we have to do quite often - since he tends to get super dirty playing outside with his doggie friends. Every dog in the neighborhood absolutely LOVES Miko! He is playful and friendly with ALL dogs (big and small).
Our little guy will do ANYTHING for cheese - he loves the stuff! Just say the word and he comes running. He loves to go to the dog park, to Petsmart or on any adventure that involves riding in the car. He's a bit spoiled with tons of dog toys! We can't resist getting him stuff! His favorite toy is a stuffed monkey with floppy long arms and legs - he'll drag that thing everywhere (it's about as big as he is - so it's really cute to see him drag it around).
I don't know if other Cotons do this - but Miko makes a huge range of sounds - mainly grunting and snorting. It's hilarious when he gets super excited (usually while playing) and he sounds like a wild piggy or something. Sometimes my husband will even have a grunting conversation with him.
Our little Miko is the center of our life - he makes us so happy!
