I am very sorry for the loss of Mia. She looks like a beautiful and happy dog. I am sure that the Bridge has plenty of boating for her. If she is anything like our Lucy, you will see her often around the house.

What a beautiful dog. I lost my dog in December. It's such a hard think to go through. Still struggling. Sending warm thoughts your way...

Thank you Woofers. I'm really worried about Dylan (Mias son) now....he is in a deep funk. Took him through his favorite McDonalds Drive-thru yesterday for a plain burger...and then on to PetCo for a new toy. When we came home, he just walked around the house with the toy in his mouth, but whining and crying. I know he was looking for his Mom.

Oh, that is horrible.

This is why a lot of people go and get another dog soon after.

Both my daughter and husband have suggested that to me...but....while I'm not against the idea, I just don't think I could do that to Dylan. I am his "person"....and when I had Repo here for the few short weeks (now daughters rescue lil guy), we could tell Dylan was not at all happy. He put up with his antics, but one could tell he was put out when Repo was in my lap. It just doesn't seem fair to me. And I'm not sure it would be fair to the second dog/puppy, as for the moment...Dylan is #1 in our life.

ShelbyGirl - I am so very sorry for your loss.

I was talking to someone recently about an animal that was grieving and she was at a loss... I said to her, "there is no textbook for grief". I thought of that reading about Dylan.

Still - you and your family and Mia all were so very fortunate to have had so many years together. It may only be a small consolation, but just remember that Mia only ever knew love and kindness. That's not a bad way to spend a life.

My sympathies to you and your family.

I've never thought about it like this. Thank you....That does make me feel better. Not a bad way to spend one's life at all!

What a beautiful dog! I'm so glad you and your family have enjoyed the love and companionship of Mia and many of her kin!

So sad to hear of her son's grief. It just goes to show how "human" all our animal friends are.

And thank goodness your family has him, too!

I'm sorry for your loss. I look at Mia's photo and see Max. I dread that day but like another poster said, Mia had a good life until the end. It does count for something.
