Hi! My name is Niko! When I was a baby, I sometimes didn’t feel good and I would start shaking. My mommy took me to the vet and the vet found out that I had a severe heart murmur. It was so bad that my mommy was told that I wouldn’t live past a year or two. My mommy was so sad. She cried and cried so I licked her tears away. We hadn’t known each other for very long but I already loved my mommy so much, and I know she loved me just as much. I didn’t want to make my mommy sad, so I’ve been proving that vet wrong, year after year. I’m 12 and a half years old now! My mommy makes such a big fuss over every one of my birthdays. She says I’m her little miracle boy. I’m so glad that I make her so happy.
