Mia Meets Santa

On Saturday, All Dog Rescue, the group Dave and I foster for, held a fundraiser.  Volunteers offered pet photos with Santa.  We thought this would be a good opportunity to take Mia on a car ride (her favorite), pick up some new toys (since she keeps destroying them), and get a cute photo (success).

Mia was a little nervous in the store.  She entered the store and met another dog and while things started ok, he scared her and we had to separate her from the other dogs to be safe.  She remained a little stressed out and was mildly distracted by treats and toys, but eventually Dave just took her outside until it was time for her picture. 

Now, bear in mind we are a volunteer group, so we have to take the help we can get.  Unfortunately our Santa, who was great with the dogs, has a baby face and couldn't really pull off the whole jolly St. Nick thing.  But that's ok because we still got a great shot of Mia that is totally going on her adoption profile.


Who could say no to a face that says, "I told Santa all I want for Christmas is my forever home"?  Or a face that says, "What's up with this Santa character--I don't think he's old enough to be out late delivering presents!"  Either way, Mia did have a good day, met some people, got some toys she loves and hasn't destroyed (yet) and even got fitted for a new harness to help her learn how to walk sweetly on a leash.  What more could a pup ask for?
