" Mia is my angel, and reminds me every day that it isn't all about me, that life has to go on. She keeps my flame burning."
Jules, Mia is definitely a little angel sent to you to help you get through this (although it sounds like she might have a little devil in her, too!). Keep her close to you, and when you get really down, hold her and look in those eyes, and you'll be able to get back up.

Ohhhh she definitely has some devil in her, but then don't we all? 
Your advice is good and that is what I am doing right now, she keeps me going. Thank you kittymom.
Yes, I am definitely looking into some obedience training for little Miss Mia. Let's just say, she has chewed on many things she should not be chewing on, including me. I try not to get angry with her because she is a pup and doesn't know better, but she is learning when I put her outside or in her crate for a timeout. I have a contact that does obedience training, but I am not sure if those are individual classes or with other dogs. She is very social. I am going to start doing that with her, will be good for her and me both. Need to get that little bundle of energy under control lol. We are doing well today, thank you for asking and checking on us. Hope you have a beautiful Friday. Much love to you from Mia and me.
Crating your puppy as punishment?

Thanks for coming here to judge me, you and all your 6 posts. No, putting her in her crate is not punishment, she actually likes it in there. As I said, it is sometimes to give her a timeout so she can calm down. She has a fuzzy blanket in there, her toys, a small bowl of water and I always give her a couple treats to munch on, or one of her bones. When she is a spaz, she needs to chill out..... that works for us. You take care of you, I'll take care of me.
ETA: How peculiar, all of your posts have been edited out by you or deleted... I sniff troll.
We have a 9 month old kitty who is constantly "on". I've temporarily got blankets over furniture in the living room that I want to protect, meaning couch and chairs. I've also done odd things in some areas to stop her from jumping on family heirlooms. I hope it stops sooner than later! Dagna tells me she is a typical tortoiseshell with "Tortitude."Okay, I have to share this with you because I think you can appreciate it. It's funny to me now, a couple days ago... not so much. With all that was going on and taking care of my dad, when it came time to take down the Christmas decorations, I didn't take them all back up to the attic. Instead I put some of them in the den. Part of those decorations were 4 nutcrackers that I have had for years, and they were a tradition. My mom loved them, she was with me when I purchased them and they were expensive and that was years ago. So stupid me left them on the floor... then I got the puppy. Mia is great when she is around me, but I have learned that if she isn't in my view and things are quiet, there is trouble happening. So the other day, I realized she had been out of my sight for about 10 minutes and I went looking for her..... the King nutcracker had been destroyed.... she chewed him up, ate his arms off, scalped him... his hair was in a pile... and she looks at me like "was I not supposed to play with that?" I was so mad, but didn't spank her, she ran for the back door and I ignored her for a couple hours. I actually cried because it was so sentimental to me. I thought she had ruined all 4, but thankfully I caught her in time. The King was a total loss, and she scalped a couple others, and one was left unscathed. I can glue the hair back on the others, so 3 out of 4 isn't bad. Now it makes me giggle, because she didn't know better, and it is my fault for not putting them in the attic. She has chewed up a cork drink coaster, some paperwork and bills.... I have to keep her supplied with bones because when she is bored she finds other things to chew on. Let's just say, she keeps me busy!
Oh, Jules, I'm sorry some of your favorite things were ruined! We had that happen with our Springer Spaniel, too, so I know how disappointing that is. But she will help you make new memories and calm down eventually.
I have a friend who breeds dogs and another who breeds cats. They use the crate the same way you did, not for punishment but to contain and enable calming down. Miss Tortitude goes nuts most nights, right at 10pm on the button. When it gets too bad, I crate her, too. She calms down and goes to sleep in less than ten minutes.
She doesn't know if you are healthy or not. She noticed that you lost weight and mentioned it. You're getting upset that someone tried to compliment you.No VanSleepy, I am not getting upset that someone complimented me, that was not my point at all. Like my last sentence stated, it makes me wonder how others perceive us. Some think we look great on the outside while we are crumbling within, and on the other end of the spectrum some are given no credit when they are the strongest. I'm sorry you missed my point. I did appreciate her compliment for sure, it made my day.
we can look in the mirror but are we seeing the real person? I've had that happen with fashion and a hair cut. What I saw and other saw where two different things. Years later after I went back to see the fashion and the hair cut in a few photos, I found out they were right and I was very wrong.

I'm not sure I understand your point. When I look in the mirror I see the real me, I look into my eyes. Of course I see the hair and my body, but I'm truly looking at me. No haircut or color or fashion job is going to change that. I look at old pictures of myself, and it recalls what was going on in my life at that time. Some were great moments, some were not. That is life.
n/m, sorry. Guess I crashed another private party.
chickenbutt, you crashed no private party, I actually read you post before you deleted it. I appreciated what you had to say.
