Meet the newest addition to my family...

Oh, what have I gotten myself into??? I guess you could say she was a New Year’s gift to myself… Mia came to live with me early in January when she was just 2 months old. She’s a chow/cocker spaniel mix with a lot of energy. We go for walks and try to stay away from the big stray dogs. We walk up and down the stairs because that’s our most favorite new activity! And we’re trying not to chew on the furniture even though it tastes better than the Purina small dog dry food mix. But, really she’s just great, and most evenings she falls asleep on my lap while I’m reading – couldn’t ask for a more well-behaved puppy! Though she is afraid of almost everything that moves…birds, ants, and a stray cat who she often surrenders her dog food to,

we have big hopes that she is going to take a prize this year at the town dog show in November.
