Thanks, all - we've had a pretty good first day and night. Pofi was really nervous about what she was doing when we were all trying to get to sleep (she really wasn't doing anything, but he felt he needed to keep an eye on her none the less) so we crated her and then he was able to settle down. She did very well, but his puppy crate is just a little snuggish, so we are off to buy two larger kennels so they each have their own today.

Lani - her name going into rescue was Meeka from her original family - not sure of it's origin. We will be e-mailing Pet Haven for any more info they have on her history, but she really is not terribly shy of people or dogs and seems to have no major issues - not food aggressive with people (can put our hands right in her bowl) and pretty good with kids (she was wanting to jump up on Carrie's friend's daughter at dog park yesterday, but we can work on that),

We will transition her to Mia, pronounced just as your teacher pronounces her daughter's name, Sarah. In Italian, it is the feminine of "mine" and so for now it is MiaMeeka, which really sounds just like "mia amica" or my friend in Italian - very appropriate and we keep to our all things Italian theme (I know Sofia will be so pleased).

Here is some play from this AM:[/color][/font]

Thanks everyone! Carrie, glad you found the time to find your way "in" to the new forum. We'll definitely have to meet up at that park again soon - Pofi loved doing that "sparring stallion" thing with Duke!

You sure have found good games to play...I like to bring Mia toys for us to play tug with. Rope or stuffies... and we like to wrestle - I let her think she can win even though she's really a runt compared to me - sometimes she even runs right underneath me! Thanks again for the advice and the offer for more - I might have to take you up on it! Say hi to Mini-me, er, I mean Nikki![/color]

OMG! Mia is a doll!! I see she's using the Grady method of neck chewing. Grady thinks she's super cute! Congrats on the new kiddo.
Pofi, dude, have a blast with your new sista. I think she's purdy. I like strawberry blondes. Can she be my girlfriend or would that bother ya?

Annie - yes, they both have slobbery wet necks quite often!

Grrrady - she is pretty fun to have around and she is kinda purdy. Couldn't ask for a more stand up dude to be her boyfriend - consider it arranged. I'll keep all the other guys away from her - that's my job.

Love her!!! And I love the name "Mia" (as in, it's ALL about ME-A). The pictures are great and the Avatar is amazing. It looks like they've been together for years!!! She's a very lucky little girlie.. (and very pretty
