Mia Jo entered our family only being a few hours old, requiring a lot of love and nurturing. She was a special girl, who picked her mom to be her person and only tolerating the other humans. She loved her fur siblings. She was always excited to get outside to find the nearest dirt pile only to roll and cover her entire body in the driest dirt. She was a protector and had no fear in standing up against another animal or person. She had the quickest punches! She loved when her mom was home because that meant she got baths, kisses, and a brushing before bedtime. She was the best snuggle buddy when it was time for bed. After 10 years, her love for her family and our love for her became the closest bond. Mia Jo left us way too soon and taught us to be more aware of our surroundings.
