Nicknames: Sweet Willow's Ciao Mia Bella(Hello my beautiful one in Italian). Mi-ers, Mia Boo, Mia Girl, Momma, Stinky, Goober, Goofball, Fuzzbutt
Doggie Dynamics:
Likes: I love to be outside most of all!! I love to spend hours outside exploring and rolling around in the dirt and mud! I also love to chase my brother and sister around the house. Sometimes I even grab Emma's tail and catch a ride while she drags me around.
Pet-Peeves: I don't like sitting still, getting my hair cut by Mom, and I HATE baths!
Favorite Toy: I LOVE to play fetch with my mommy with my little foam balls that I can chew on (they are the only balls I can fit my mouth around). I also love playing with my little squeaky frog and duck. And I love to hide chewies in the laundry and pillows.
Favorite Food: CHICKEN JERKY!!!! Chicken quarters, boneless beef, salmon, and pork heart are super tasty! I also love bully sticks, Moo Tubes, Canz Real Meat Venison and Salmon treats, and Wellness Pure Rewards! Oh and did I say CHICKEN JERKY!!!?
Favorite Walk: I love going on walks around the neighborhood! Strawberry Park on Saturdays is tons of fun too! I also love to go to the beach and to The Strand in Galveston.
Best Tricks: In obedience class I was the best at sit and down stays! I always sat there like a little princess even with distractions! I also know how to shake, down, hi five, wave, and lay on my back (Show me your belly!) We are now starting agility training!!
Arrival Story: The day after my big sister (may she rest in peace) died from lymphoma my mommy and her family were so sad that they began to start their search for a new dog. After scouring SPCAS, pounds, and rescues in the area they had no luck. They decided to go to a pet store (just to look I swear! I know bad mommy shame on her!) Mommy saw me and she was a gonner. She looked in the cage and said that is Mia and she is MY dog before she even held me! She instantly fell in love with me and couldn't live without me. For a while she felt guilty and felt like she had to justify why she got me so soon after Willow passed away, but now she realizes that she was meant to be my mommy! I helped to heal her broken heart.
Bio: I am a beautiful red sable long haired chihuahua. Mommy says I'm the cutest dog she's ever seen but I think she's a little biased. I was born on April 16, 2006 and I am 9 lbs. My favorite activities include exploring inside and out but especially outside, chasing bugs and frogs, learning new tricks, meeting new people, and most of all playing fetch and chasing my foam balls around the house! Mommy has recently noticed how much I adore elderly men and women and wants to train me to be a therapy dog. Mommy says I may be beautiful but I am still a dog! Mud is fun to roll around in and I LOVE to pull the fuzz out of pillows/toys/blankets! _________________________________ My Diet I officially went fully RAW on April 19, 2007, three days after my first birthday. This means that I eat a combination of raw meat, bones, and organs according to prey model style. So far my favorite raw foods include cornish game hen, boneless beef, salmon, and pork heart!!

Birthday Ticker:
Background:
My Fashion Statement: My collars are my fashion statement. Mom makes my own dog collars and leashes and she changes them almost every week! She is now working with one of Daddy's friends to set up a website to sell collars and leashes online. The website is going to be Miaspetchic.com. It should be up and running by the end of July '07! Check it out!
Mommy told me some exciting new last night. It wasn't really finalized until then but my Auntie Katie and Mommy had been talking about it for a few days.
A little bit after Christmas we are flying to Chicago on a plane to visit Parker, Jack, and Bebe!! We'll be there for about five days, including New Years! Mommy says I might even get to meet Gretta and Rondo and Parker's horsey brothers! Mommy has already met Gretta and Rondo but I haven't had the chance yet.
I don't really know what a plane is, I've never been on one before, but Mommy tells me it's just like a big car (I love riding in cars!!) that drives through the sky instead of on the ground and goes a lot faster. Unfortunately, I have to stay in some kind of bag the whole way under the seat and can't look out the window. Mommy says that we're going to get me to the point where I really like the bag and feel comfy and safe in it. Auntie Katie sent it in the mail yesterday so I can get used to it.
Mommy also says that I'll get to see snow. She's not sure what I will think of it but she's hoping that I will like it. She's really excited about it because she hasn't seen a real snow in 8 years and used to live for snow and skiing. We will have my parka and lots of sweaters handy and I am also going to have some new booties so my paws don't get completely freezing and wet and I don't get any salt on them. Mommy bought her snow boots yesterday too!
I think I'm going to have a good time. I've been to Chicago before and I liked it. I love Auntie Katie and am starting to like Parker a lot. Last year Jack seemed okay...well he kind of ignored me...but I'm okay with that.
Well it's time for us to go get ready for Thanksgiving dinner!
It's Thanksgiving and there are so many things that I am thankful for in my life.
1) Being alive and very healthy!
2) Having a loving home and the best Mommy and Daddy in the world (not even counting the best Nana, Grandpa, aunts, uncles, and nieces and my kitty brothers Noche and E-Man).
3) Having a home at all! We thought after the hurricane that we wouldn't have a home anymore, that we might have to move back in with Nana and Grandpa for a little bit while things were salvaged and prepared.
4) For Mommy providing the best care she knows how! I eat the yummiest food - even if it is expensive at times and get all the vet care I need.
5) For agility class! I love agility so much! Especially the running around like a crazy wild Mia.
We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving and the hurricane really brought that to light.
Just wanted to post a quick update. I'll do a full recount of the last 4 days later on. Everyone and animal is fine. The house and apartment survived with almost no damage, no flooding. The wooden fences are all down. Luckily we have a little courtyard area between our garage and the side of the house and a metal gate that closes off the backyard. Mia can get through the metal gate poles because they are about 8 inches wide but we put up leftover plywood so we can at least let the dogs out there.
We are playing host to a stray boxer puppy that we have named Roscoe for the time being. He is very sweet and gets along well with everyone. Mia doesn't like him but she doesn't like most other dogs at first anyway.
I will post pictures of the damage, etc. later. We have power and cable and internet here at the house. No power at the apartment yet though. We are hoping soon.
