Mia and my Shadow

I was divorced, kids grown and gone, and living in the country with a black cat, Shadow (a shelter cat). We were happy but something was missing. At my local shelter I found a bischon. She was a matted mess. I brought her home, groomed her and the bonding began. I now had Mia and my Shadow! Mia feared thunderstorms. Shadow would put a paw on Mia and we weathered all life's storms together. Shadow has passed away now but Mia is now 9 years my best friend and companion. She is a dependable watch dog. She is a whole lot of dog in a small body. I love her very much!
