Mia is here

Wow, is all I can say!  I am so impressed with Mia in the day and a half that she has been here.  We have been looking for a dog to replace Mick (or follow in his footsteps is a better term) as a working dog.    After quite a long time of looking, talking etc the stars were aligned and Mia was able to come to Oregon.  It is amazing because she really reminds me a lot of Mick's dad, Scott, and of Mick.  As said in previous posts, she is bred to Kevin Evan's top Nursery dog, Doc.
Mia arrived here (Murray drove to Portland to pick her up) and was all smiles.  It amazes me on what a stable temperament she has.  She has never been inside before she came here and did not know what stairs were.  Murray worked with her a bit on the stairs and she picked right up on them.  He then brought her in the house (pergo and tile floors) and she found the bone box and toy box.  She then learned about tv when Murray turned it on.  He said it was funny because she put her feet up on the tv stand to try and watch it.
I had her in the house today and she LOVES hedgies (the toy ones).  She took her hedgie to the couch and played with it (she had never had toys before our house).  She is not fazed by the tree with bright lights in the house either.  She goes from couch to couch trying to figure out which one is more comfortable.  She even hopped up with my parents who are here visiting for the holiday.
I can not wait to work her on sheep.
