My Mia - one animal lover's tale.

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with R & D Art

For all of you that do not know me, I am a huge animal lover. When it comes to pictures, I am more about the unexpected ones than the ones posed for. With that said, I have to share my tale.

This weekend, we were watching football at the house. Atlanta was seeing a very cold day and for anyone that knows about Chihuahuas, you know they get cold easily. I had lit a fire in the fire place and took my place in my captions chair with my ottoman and my laptop. Our house stays at a cool 66 degrees as we like.

Mia, our Chihuahua, was up beside me and as I was working on ActiveRain, she wanted NUZZLE time. Well, I was having none of it. So, being the inquizative ferret that she is, she proceeded to check out this fire. I was not paying any attention to her, until, out of the corner of my eye, I caught her curly up on the Marble Hearth and went to sleep.

So, I had to call out to my better half to grab the camera and take a pic. Hope you think it is as cute as we do.

Danny ~ She is too cute!  Did she bring that State University blanket over there with her? ; )

We have a Husky and if she tried that nuzzling stuff we'd all wind up on the floor!

Danny, we're a dog brood too. A yellow lab and a beagle. They're outside dogs. Very rough but cute ... in a Billy Jack sort of way.

She looks like our Chi, but with long hair.  They do love to be warm!  Ours tends to sit too close to the fire for too long and actually overheats to the point of us having to remove her to a cooler part of the house-her tongue turns bright red, gets real wide and she starts panting.

Susie, she does when she wants to.

Gayle, you got that right.

Jennifer, that sounds like my Lhasa. She loves to do that.

Mia is a beauty...and she knew exactly when to "wake up" to get a good shot from the camera.  Now, that's a real dame. :)

Danny,

I too love animals..... usually rare! 

No... just kidding. I have a dog of my own and I love the things he does.  From following me around to naping on the pillow on the floor.  He is just a constant cause of smiles.
