My Baby!

Happy Birthday Mia!


This is a picture of my baby on the day I
brought her home from the shelter.  As
soon as I took her in my arms, I knew we
were meant to be together...

On the ride home we were thinking about
what we should name her.  I looked in her
little face and told her she had won the pet
adoption jackpot ~ her life just changed and
she had become a princess!

Since I was reading The Princess Diaries to
the kids at the time, we decided to name her
Mia for the girl in the book who suddenly
finds out she is a princess.  Of course in the
book the girl is named Mia Thermopoulis
but our baby is named Mia Furmopoulis.


This beautiful bundle of fur turns 9 today.
She is my best friend and my constant
companion.  She has the kindest eyes
and the sweetest personality.  Everyday
on our hike we will pass someone who says,
"What a beautiful dog!"  and she is ~
inside and out.

Happy Birthday Mia the Wonder Dog!

  2. Happy Birthday via New Jersey from Mia's cousin Millie. They really are so good together even though they only get to visit once a year.
