We’ve had Mia for just over a week, and she is fitting in well.

Last weekend she went to her first vet.  appointment, for shots and worm treatment too. I also found out she is two pounds.

The kiddos were a little scared of her at first, but they are slowly coming around.

I think she is just adorable.

She likes to eat the strawberries out of the garden though…

She is a lot of fun, and a pretty good pup too.

The little ones have been hoping and praying for a puppy for quite awhile. The boys are getting older, and they have really wanted a puppy to play with. I’ll confess, I wanted one too.

I had lots of pets growing up, and some of my favorite childhood memories are playing outside with my puppies. I want to give my kids those happy memories too.

I took the little ones to the local Pet Shop to see a few puppies, and one was especially cute. He was also way too much… Then James said, I don’t know if I even want to tell you my news.

His co-worker had a Long Haired Chihuahua that needed a home… And she was free. I asked him to consider it, and he said that she could come over and we would see if the kiddos liked the puppy.

The kids loved her instantly…

And Dad said yes!

So welcome to the family Miss Mia.

We are so happy to have you home.
