Welcome!

Mia was taking over my other blog (which is supposed to be a running blog) so I decided that she was awesome enough that she really deserved to have her own space on the Interwebs.  All I do is talk about my dog these days, because:
1. She's crazy
2. She's the cutest little thing
3. The never ending work that goes into having a dog

I think people are really quick to judge a dog upon first impression which is why we really need to help Mia overcome her fear of strangers.  It's funny because when she first met us... we were strangers and she never had any issue with us at all.  Not even a week later she was barking at everyone else in the world but the two of us.  On walks she barks at other people and other dogs, but she loves people and she loves dogs... so it makes no sense to me.  She has so much fun at doggie daycare playing with the other puppies so I just can't figure out how walking down the street and seeing a dog is any different.

She is wonderful though, she's like my shadow - she follows me all over the house and loves to just be around me and Abe.  She's also weaseled her way on to the couch with me.  I lay down a blanket and then let her jump up and watch tv with me... and I know that is a slippery slope but I'm happy and she's happy so like whatever.  I always said that she wasn't going to be allowed on the furniture, to eat human food, or to sleep in the bed.  Hopefully I'm able to stay strong and not cave to those other things, she can't have every little thing that she wants... can she?

Her favorite things are - treats, sleeping, walks, and Nylabones.
Her least favorite things are - going in her crate, strangers, and when it rains.

Each week we make some good progress with Mia, and this blog will following her development in our family.
