Please say hello to Mia, the newest member of our family.

She is a rescue from North Carolina who made her way up to Pennsylvania this past weekend. We can’t thank the great people of Lulu’s Rescue enough for the entire coordination and unbelievable dedication to these animals. We’ve followed them for years now and always knew they were going to be our source for our next dog.

While we knew we would eventually want another dog (in an ironic and bittersweet twist, we picked her up exactly one year to the day after our Casey had passed) we never imagined it happening this quickly. All it took was one photograph of this little angel and we were in. We saw her on Facebook last Tuesday and made the decision to adopt on Wednesday. Insane move for our not so spontaneous family.

Mia is only 3.5 lbs at 9 weeks old and possibly the smallest dog I’ve ever witnessed live.

The kids are still in complete awe of their new sibling and the smiles haven’t left their faces to date.

To say this dog is loving doesn’t do her justice.

It’s only been two full days, but she has shown an incredible ability to run herself ragged, explore every nook and cranny in the house  and then melt into the arms of the first person who touches her.

We feel incredibly blessed to have found her and cannot wait to watch her grow up each and every day.
