Mia

I haven’t posted for awhile. The main reason for this is that Michelle and I suffered the sudden and untimely loss of our beloved Staffordshire Terrier, Mia, on April 4 of this year. Mia was a rescue, and had come into our care from a series of uncaring owners. We gave her the life she had longed for, only to have that time cut short.

It was during late night walks with her that I became inspired to write the few pieces of poetry found on this site. Something about our time together brought me closer to my muse, and that is a rare quality.

Mia

Despite the reputation normally attributed to pit bulls, she was a beautiful and loyal animal, who never failed to convey not only her appreciation for the slightest courtesy, but her love for those around her. She will truly be missed.

I’m working on setting up the new one, so please stand by!
