The BIG 5-OH! Oh No!

Ouch! I recently suffered through an unfortunate milestone birthday. Here's the good part:

Meet Mia!

My birthday present and new addition to the family "zoo". She's a pom-chi-poo. Part pomeranian, chihuahua and poodle -in other words, your basic mutt. She is 4 months old and weighs 6 pounds so far. What's not to love? I've been busy training and socializing her so I haven't made my usual blog rounds. My animal loving blogpals will understand. Mia has made me forget all about starting another half century (not really, but I can dream). I'm sure I'll post lots more pictures later and bore everyone silly.

Congratulations! May the next chapter bring you much joy and excitement! Mia is so cute, we need to clone and patent her. Definitely. We'll make meelyons, har-har-har!

What a great gift.

Happy 50th. It's not so bad. I survived it and have nearly made the next half decade in one piece - just a bigger piece, that's all!

They say that 50 is the new 30 so.....

EOH -That's great idea! We'll develop our cloning business, make truckloads of money and then open a theraputic children's center full of wonderful rescue dogs (and even a few Mia clones) who will love hanging out with kids. You'd have to be in charge of the laboratory and I'll handle the charitable arm of our (nonevil)corporation.

Rose - thank you!

LGS -I'm trying hard not to think of it. I still feel young at heart!

Jojo -She's terrific and doesn't she look like she could fly away with those giant dumbo ears?

Kris -thank you! I really want her to be good with all kinds of people, especially children.

Val -thanks! It's all a matter of what's in your heart, right?

abbadon -and she has the cutest white blaze between her shoulder blades!

Happy birthday, belatedly, and congrats.

Next time one of my kids gets a Webkinz and tries to think of a name, I'm totally suggesting Pom-Chi-Poo!
