And Doggone It People Like Me

Daily Affirmations


Mia's foster Mom Laura said she caught Mia staring at herself in the hall mirror for a full five minutes - and she suspects Mia was doing her daily affirmations:

"I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it people like me!"


Last weekend was rainy and a bit chilly but we headed out anyway for an adventure. We started with a nap in the car and then ended up at the lake.


Mia LOVES the seagulls, she loves the live ones who provide hours of enjoyment from the car window and the ones who did not make it thru the long cold winter...she especially liked rolling in that one.


The rain stopped for about 30 minutes and the sun came out so we headed out to see what we could see and find some cool spots to pose...maybe it was too cool... we did not have a sweater with us!


Even though she was chilly Mia shows off her perfect sit stay.

Eagle eye.
Mia can spot a seagull, a squirrell, a stranger, or a piece of paper blowing in the wind from miles away.

All good walks by the lake must come to an end for 'stinky' girls and bathies must be endured - Mia was such a trooper especially since Soggy Paws only had cold water!


Good thing we had extra blankies in the car for snuggling.



This was Mia's very favorite part of the day.



Good thing she can't read....

Love the Daily Affirmations! Also love her "hover-sit"- they way she can sit without her dainty bum actually touching the wet ground.

Wonderful, wonderful news about Iowa. Fingers crossed for this to be "the" perfect home for her.

WHAT a cutie Mia is. I am SO sorry that we had run out of hot water when Mia was in for her bath. That location has been plagued with plumbing issues. Anyone know a good plumber?
Again, thanks for bringing Mia in. She's a beautiful girl. We wish her only the best!

Thanks Puffy - I had not noticed her "sorta" sit...which is why I am not the best Mom for her...she would get away with everything!

Oh Paul, thanks for stopping by we love Soggy Paws! everyone is always very nice and they explained the situation but we decided to brave the cold water anyway and no ill effects! And she smelled great afterwards!

Oh thank you Freckles!

Thanks Marga - I will keep everyone updated and take lots of pictures!!

Mia, daily affirmations are a great way to stay positive as you've waited so long for a home.

Advice: be on your best behavior in Iowa.
