The Many Looks of Miko

Little Miko has the funniest little doggy face I've seen in a while. Bless her little heart, I can't always tell if she's cute or ugly, or if she's adorable or scraggly. Her fur is long and hairlike, and her muzzle is short and boxlike. She has a little under-bite that makes her bottom teeth stick out and her mouth never closes all the way. We like to make fun of her sometimes. When her hair is long and wild, she looks an awfully lot like an Ewok. If we dressed her up in a little cape, I'm sure she would look as if she just stepped out of a George Lucas film. With her fur clipped down and her face shaved, she looks very similar to Falcor, the luck dragon, from the Neverending Story. She has the perfect body for Falcor, too, despite the fact that she's black, not white. She has a very long body and very short stubby legs.

Despite her odd looks, we love little Miko and we're becoming quite attached to her. She has a great little personality, and loves to be cuddled and loved. Lizzy calls her "Mokee," and the nickname has caught on fast for the rest of us. We call her Mokee just as much as we call her Miko. Miko is a people loving dog all the way. She loves everybody she meets. She's also calm and relaxed most of the time, and only becomes hyper when she's roughhousing the cat. She's a fun little pup and we like having her in our home.
