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!
