Hi Sue –
I have been meaning to get in touch with you all year long, and let you know how much we love our little ‘Mia’ who was born into your home in Sept 2010. We met you on a cold November day 2010, in Syracuse when she became ours. Mia is doing great, and is a sweet, loving little dog. She is behaved, but does have her mischievous side as well. Yesterday, Alex and I took her on a long walk on the beach of Long Island sound. She really enjoyed running loose (but stayed near us) and she loved to visit with the other people and dogs out walking on the beach.
I must ask, how is your son doing ? When last we spoke, he had graduated from Syracuse, and was going to Airborne school ? I wonder where he is now stationed. I always felt a connection to you, because as you may remember, my son Alex (21years old) was principally ‘raising’ and training Mia until he left for the Army in February, 2011. Alex did go through Infantry training in Fort Benning GA, then also did the Airborne training like your son. In the fall he made it through the intense Special Forces selection, and now station at Fort Bragg NC where he will be training as a Special Forces Medical Sergeant. Home coming between Alex and Mia was special to see.
It has been wonderful having Mia as part of the family, and my Daughter (now 17yrs) just treats her like she is a little stuffed animal with an attitude. Mia gets lots of attention. You do a wonderful loving thing for this world in raising little puppies for others to enjoy. Thank you.
Be well. God speed. Happy New Years !
Sincerely, Linda
