Arrival Story: Mirra is Mica's baby sister. Her sire (Rogue) is an Oregonian, her dam (Jaguar) a Canadian. One of 8 pups (3 girls & 5 boys), ALL but Mirra & sister Sufi (in California) live in British Columbia. She came 'home' with Sufi on MONDAY 23 July 2007. The day Mica came home she was with her big brother Quixote, also in July. Both were very fun days. Both girls are ALL Belgian, regardless of color. Mirra just turned 2 years old on 30 May 2009. Looking back, we're SO thankful the wonderpup HAS helped us to care for this sister breed to the Tervuren. As we have found with another alphapup 'APTLY named' Rebel Force, we've needed it at times. She is a wonderful little sprite and brings joy & laughter each and every day. Many BLACK DOGS never get a chance.. They NEED us more than ever. TRUST a BLACK PEARL, see how they WILL enrich your LIFE!!
Bio: Their litter theme is "STAR WARS." (family has 3 great young kids & the theme came from their recent discovery of the film). Our daughter Mckenna chose Mica's registered name. That theme was an "ADVENTURE." Named for the Palme d' Or winner that year at the Cannes Film Festival, Ques-que ce "WILD AT HEART." She WAS definitely all that!
Hence, Mckenna was again asked to select the registered name for Mirra. Hers is Attra Dea "REBEL FORCE." So far, the wee lass is living up to her name. She is a bit of a rebel force! Someone once said, be careful what you name them, it may come true. Both girls call names reflect their coloring. Mica for their mom's affinity for rocks, 'Mica Schist'.. Mirra, for another favorite, Australian Aboriginal art. Translated meaning "darkest cloud in the sky at the time."
We wish that Mica was still here with us as she'd be the best big sister to come along since her own big sister Mckenna. We've been here awhile now, and Mirra's been welcomed warmly at Dogster, as has our dear Mica-the wonderpup & her little sisters' the rescue cats, Margo & Whitney, who live with Mckenna in nearby Portland.

The Last Forum I Posted In: PAWlease Pray for KJ
hello everyone..
our mckenna is very active with Project Pooch..
this event is a big one in their year.. and comes up this NEXT week..
it's a phenomenal organization, and does much good..
especially in the lives of unwanted shelter dogs!
if anyone is interested and can help out, PAWlease do..
take a look..
Usually it is my loving fursis that takes such honors, but thank you Dogster dog FUR noticing me too. Lately mom, & i have not been around. It's a harder time around here, when we come upon the time when our mica took ill & left us 6 days later. PAWlease, meet mica if you come visit me, and learn about IMHA & IMTP..
It just might save your life.
We could use your help in many ways too. Remember that a 3 way corral brings a donation, meaning.. you must corral our 3 pages FUR it to work..
but we also could just use a dollar at-a-time, from you.
information is on mica's page, and it too could save a life.
In case you're wondering..
I'm still a fun-loving pup, and my job is to look after mom.
she FURgets things, due to her disability, and they say i, like mica, have special intuition about things, and do a good job looking after her.
i would also ask any pup who can to pray for my pal KJ and his cousin Kiana, who are suffering from liver disease, and FUR every furry friend out there who needs a paw up, either from illness, or PAWhaps homelessness.
PAWresently. i'm not thinking of anything else, except once again to say thank you & LOVE your pets people. they LOVE you, regardless.. mom says the best way to honor me today to just to be with me..
This morning at 8:30 mom picked up KJ. Mom was so excited to be seeing her big boy again after being away from him since last Sunday. They headed out of town to the specialist. After filling out the paper work KJ then had to have his belly shaved and then they were ready for the Ultrasound.
The test showed that the liver was not enlarged, in fact it was a little smaller than normal. All other organs looked good. The doctors wanted to be sure there was not a tumor or something similar causing the liver to fail. They decided not to do the biopsy at this time. After both doctors consulted on the phone it was decided to wait on doing this. The treatment KJ is getting is working. Not as fast as we would like it to, but working none the less. They then did a Mammalian Liver Profile. The ALT read 530. So even after the IV being out quite a bit in the last 24 hrs. the value is down!
Before mom left the specialist's office she got KJ to eat 1/2 a can of food! His first meal in about a week. He has lost almost 9 lbs since going to the hospital.
When they were pulling out of the clinic, mom got a phone call from her sister. Kiana, who is our Guardian Angel Kiska's sister & lives at our house had started vomiting last night & wouldn't eat anything. They took her in for bloodwork. She is now in the kennel beside KJ and has the same problem he has. They are giving her the same treatment that KJ is getting. She is a 10 yr old Malamute who mom loves dearly. Please include her in your prayers. She already has so many problems & her health wasn't the best to start with.
So after hearing this mom scheduled me to go in later for bloodwork. She was taking no chances that I was next. The testing showed all was fine with me. Thank Dog! I really don't think mom could handle 3 of us in the hospital right now.
Our vet told mom he thinks KJ is feeling better & definitely stronger than when he went in. He is alert & interested in what's going on around him. He is hopeful that he maybe able to come home late Monday. If so he will be following a special liver diet with careful monitoring of his progress.
Thank you all for your continued support, love & pawrayers!
Malamute Wooooo's & Hugssss!

KJ & Rain's mom called us tonight and she sounds tired.. Prayers would also be wonderful, but this is better news for KJ, but not such good news for Kiana..
If your prayer load is manageable, PAWlease, spare what you can mates..
