Bonding with Mia
This was my last trip to West Virginia….it is actually kind of sad in a way.   I really grew to love that state and the people in it.  Even though I was there for work, I lived in an apartment there 2-3 weeks out of every month in 2008, so I really got to know the area.

Because I was closing up the apartment, I only took Mia with me this time and I boarded the boys at the Yorkville Animal Hospital.  Mia is such a little sweetheart!  And a great traveller – except when she wanted to sit on my lap, which was the whole trip!  I tried to seatbelt her in for a while, but it was more fun to have her on my lap!
Her leg really seems to be doing well – when she walks around, she uses her leg fine. When she runs sometimes, she still lifts it. It is amazing how well it is healing!
Boy, this was the first time in a long time I had only one dog to take care of….I realize what a lot of work having all three really is!   But, though it is a challenge with the boys, I love them all dearly!
Sitting with Mia in the evenings, and just having her follow me around and look at me with that cute little face…I don’t know how anyone cannot love dogs!
Well, it took me much longer than I thought to pack up all my stuff from WV…boy, I sure had a lot of crap there!  But, I finally left late a.m. and got back home around 8:00 p.m.
