Recently, we introduced Mia to you.  Nearly a month later, we received these photos and an e-mail about Mia and her latest tricks! Talk about falling into the honeypot...this dog has it made! This letter is from her new guardian family and is written by Sharon, her new mom. 

      “Mia is such a HUGE love bug. She is an amazing animal. She's been with us over a month and she's a best friend to anyone she comes in contact with.  Sometimes we think she wants to "mother" us like a small puppy and other times she wants me to be her mother!  She has total run of the house and goes on several walks a day, is 99% housebroken, and has taken apart practically every stuffed toy that the kids leave laying around.  That makes for neater children!  She actually prances while she walks by my side in the house and sometimes thinks she can herd me along.  

      There is nothing we could buy her to play with that could replace her love of branches & sticks.  She's ferocious in "guarding" me against the attack of the vacuum cleaner, the hairdryer and now she's discovered the "vicious doll stroller".  I wish I could send you a video of her defending us against these "monsters".  You would be laughing for quite a while because she is sooooooo sweet and loving, it's hard to believe she would act like this and it's comical to watch her!

 

      I can not thank you enough for seeing that special something in her.  We have never adopted a dog that we haven't met but even the veterinarian and her staff in North Carolina loved Mia.  She is definitely a family "dog" and that's great since there are six of us.  Our cat is slowly getting used to the fact that Mia is here to stay and if they ever start sleeping together, I'll be sure to send you a picture.   

      Everyone in North Carolina made it so easy for us, moving her to the vet for spaying and shots, and especially transporting her up here to Pennsylvania. But the most important thing is that all of you believed in her and I honestly can say that we could not have chosen a more ideal dog for our family.   

      I will keep sending you picture updates so that you can remember during those discouraging times in your mission that ALL OF YOU are directly responsible for Mia's current situation and you are making a difference.  We are so happy with her, and she is equally as happy with us.  We feel blessed to have her as part of our family.  It is easy to love Mia, especially since she's always smiling at us!”
