Our thoughts go to Olivia Lavender and her family on the death of Mia, her 12 year old English Labrador Retriever. Mia joined the family as a surprise 15th birthday present for Olivia. Mia went everywhere with Olivia and was very easy to train. She was perfect in every way. When Olivia went away to college, Mia bonded with Mercedes, but when Olivia returned home, Mia was back to being her shadow. She perfected lots of tricks, one of which was "Bang" where she would fall over after being "shot." She was very nurturing---helping to raise 12 cats that the family fostered. She was a big protector of Olivia and always slept between her bed and the door. Mia had a teddy bear that she kept on her bed for snuggling with at night and would rearrange it to have it in the perfect spot. Olivia always gave Mia the last bite of her banana and Mercedes was known to give Mia some extra special treats from the table. Mia was the best dog and a fantastic companion that will be missed.
