A day in the life of a silly dog named Mia

When I wake up in the morning I love to stretch and scratch my back against the wall. My foster Dad says I look like a bear rubbing against a tree. Maybe I am part bear, because I do love to rub up and down the wooden fence in the back yard too!My first order of the day is to head downstairs and make sure the pantry is still stocked with food and treats. My foster mom says I’m not supposed to go in there and help myself. Sometimes I get caught and have to run out of the pantry really fast before she sees me!

My bowl is empty! Is it time for breakfast YET???

My foster sisters, Mona and Maggie, eat breakfast after I do. I’m not allowed to go into the kitchen while they’re eating, so my foster mom makes me wait outside the door. Life is so cruel.

After breakfast, it’s time to get down to business. These things won’t de-stuff themselves!

Ahhhhhh…. a productive day at work. Time for a break.

Sometimes I get some help from my foster sister Mona. She’s pretty good at this job too.

My foster sister Maggie, on the other hand, thinks it’s the most boring job EVER.

What’s next on the agenda?

Time for a little break outside. On my way down the back porch, I stop at the recycling bin for a quick sniff. You can’t imagine what these humans throw out.

Today I found a perfectly good can with food molecules still attached! What’s wrong with them?

After a hard day of work, it’s time for some play with my foster sister Mona. We play pretty rough sometimes! My foster mom says we are like two elk fighting in the forest.

We can wrestle like this for hours! Later on we wrestle some more in the beautiful snowfall.

We even wrestle in the bedroom…

... until we just… don’t… have… any… energy… left. Whewwwww!!! That’s okay though, because it’s time for bed anyway. It’s been a long productive day. *yawn* Good night!

Mia would like to thank her wonderful foster Mom Laura for typing this entry for her and her wonderful foster Dad Mike for putting up with all of her silliness.

The Waiting IsThe Hardest Part...

Hello Dear Readers, I want to thank you all for your support in helping me find a new home. We haven't found it yet but I am staying hopeful that it will happen soon.

I try to stay alert when we are driving just in case my new family passes by I can stop them and let them know I am here - and I am ready to go and start my new life.

Sometimes I get kind of tired from all that searching and I have to take a little break.


Sometimes I have to take a good long nap so I can be ready for when my new family finds me.

I try to keep my mind occupied but usually a nap is the only thing that makes me feel better.

Sometimes it makes me sad that I have not found my new family yet...I know they are out there...I kind of thought they would have found me by now...

Let me know if you see them - and please let them know where to find me...I'll just go and play some more with my foster sister Mona and try to stay hopeful... thanks for stopping by!

Mia is Spotlighted by HSUS

Last night was an exciting night for all of us!

Thanks to our friends Barb, Gwen and Sandy, Miss Mia was chosen to be featured at the HSUS 2009 Spotlight Humane Chicago to combat dog fighting. She was one of six adoptable pitties featured on the big screens throughout the night. In this picture she is posing with Cook County Sherrif Tom Dart who received recognition for his work to end dog fighting in Cook County.

In the lobby in the midst of the silent auction items there were two really nice posters with all six of the adoptable dogs on them - Mia looked great in her Petraits picture (thanks again Sheri Berliner) at the very top of the poster.

There were five other doggies featured from Orphans of the Storm http://www.orphansofthestorm.org/ and the Bombshell Bullies Pit Bull Rescue http://www.adoptapet.com/adoption_rescue/75446.html

Some of these guys have been in a shelter their whole lives - one is 10 years old - I hope all of them get the attention they deserve and find their forever homes.
