Mia joined the RAGOM family last Saturday afternoon. She is a wonderful 9 1/2 year old spayed female. She is up to date on all her shots and just loves to get petted and to give kisses! She is a light golden and being a light golden her gray hairs make her look dignified. She not only has white on her face but has what looks like a spattering of snow on her back!

Mia will be moving to a new foster home this week up in the cities. She has arthritis in a back leg and has difficulty going up and down my deck stairs to go out and go potty. Her new foster home doesn't have stairs for her to go up and down all the time. Mia also tries to keep up with her two foster siblings (1 and 7 years old) when outside - she loves to try to catch snowballs. After a few attempts at catching and me calling her to come in, she came back up and joined me on the porch. She then help me by 'approving' the snowballs that I threw to her siblings. At her new foster home, she will have another senior sister who I'm sure will teach her the fine art of enjoying long naps and ignoring the younger dogs who want to play!

Hello everyone, Mia checking in. I'm all moved in to my new foster home. I really wondered what was going on the day I moved in. I was greeted by 5 other Goldens and 2 Poodles! I wondered to myself, is this household crazy?!?!?! Between you and me, "YES" is the answer - but I'm liking it! My foster mom explained to me that she was dog-sitting two of the Goldens, but the other 3 Goldens and 2 Poodles would be my foster sibs.

It didn't take me long to find my favorite spot in the house - it's in my human sib's bedroom. Mom says it's the favorite of most fosters.

On Saturday, I attended the Pet Expo and was a mascot in the RAGOM booth. People thought I was just beautiful and I got many, many pets - as well as treats. Everyone wanted to give us mascots treats. A toddler in a stroller gave me a treat and I very gently took it out of his hand - what a good girl I am!!!!!

My foster mom, dad, brother and I walked around to look at the other booths, and guess what? More treats! I tell you though, I don't know that I've seen that many human knees in one day before! There were a lot of people there!!! I was pretty tired when I got home - I took a nice long nap!

My foster mom thought I was a little shy at first (heck, with 7 other dogs there, who wouldn't be?) but I'm really coming out of my shell. I know exactly where the treats are kept, and I get right in line and patiently wait my turn. My foster mom was cleaning out under my human sib's bed last night and I got right under there with her - we were cheek to cheek! I no longer only hang out in my favorite spot - I hang with my foster family a lot more. My foster sister, Shirley, has a waterbed on the first floor - it's pretty cool and comfortable. My foster mom also has a baby crib mattress out for us to lay on - that's not bad either.

I've got a bit of arthritis in my left hip, but I'm on a diet and my foster mom says that losing a few pounds will help immensely - just ask Shirley! I also take an aspirin a day so I can hop up and down the stairs and go for nice long walks without discomfort.

I hear a treat calling......I'll check in later. Mia

I loved greeting everyone who stopped by our RAGOM booth at the Pet Expo!
