In Memory of Mia

We all know how much our dogs mean to us, and we're keenly aware their lifespans are limited. With that thought in mind, we hope to enjoy ten or twelve years with them, at least.

Recently, on Tuesday, November 9, Richard Underwood lost his beloved dog, Mia, to a sudden and fatal illness. She was not only an excellent competitor but also a great companion and friend, and she will be sorely missed. Mia took Richard to two Nationals and in the process ran a beautiful one in Dover, Delaware last November. She and Richard were a Finalist team and I'm certain that I wasn't the only one that enjoyed their ten series of work.

Mia, you were special and you had many fans... most of all, you were loved by Richard. You'll meet again just this side of the Rainbow Bridge one day.
