My Mia Girl

[lovedones]

Six years ago I fostered a chihuahua her name was Mia, she was 4 yrs old.  She had 2 prior homes but times she was taken out of the homes due to abuse.  The last home there were big dogs and she ended up with a broken jaw.  She wasn't your normal chihuahua.  She never barked or snapped at anyone.  When her jaw healed I couldn't take the chance of her getting a new home and have someone abuse her again.  So she stayed with me.   She was a love bug.  she was always were ever I was went were ever I went.  She was my best friend.  I have so many stories about her.  This past March she wasn't eating normally and at night her breathing wasn't right.  The next day I took her to the vet.  We found out that she had cancer in both lungs.  It was advance.  The vet said she had about a month before she would be gone.  I was not ready for this at all.  I felt guilty that I didn't notice that something was wrong.  Even though the vet said that where the tumors were only an ultra sound would have found it.  I asked him about her being in pain.  I wanted to take her home for a little more time.  I left his office with her and medication for pain.  She was other wise acting normal.  For the next 2 weeks I spoiled her even more rotten than she was.  She was my baby girl.  Then she started to have trouble breathing more.  I knew it was time.  The next day we went to the vet.  Her lungs were filled with fluid.  So I held her close and talked to her while she passed on.  I told her that she was going to see her pappy, he was waiting for her and that someday I will see her again.  She looked up into my eyes and her eyes had a little twinkle in them as though she was telling me she loved me.  My mom just passed away a few days ago.  So now my Mia girl is with both her pappy and nanny.  Which she loved very much and they loved her.   I know she has no pain now.  I will see her again.  I love you and miss you Mia girl.

Dear Members,

We are excited to mention that we are moving to a more new and improved message boards on MONDAY MORNING AUGUST 9th! The boards will be done for a few hours while we are making the conversation. Remember we posted information about this move a month ago. For some of you this might seem a bit sudden,  but when we were reviewing the site we determined the current message board you are using is out of date and the company that designed it is no longer in existence. The good news is this new message board will have new features that have been requested in the past like more fields we can add to your profiles and a chat room up to 20 people at one time. If we find the chat room is bursting at the seams we will add additional room for extra people. All your old posts, private messages and such will be migrated to the new message board. You might have to put up your profile picture again but not sure. The new company will be doing the migration for us. Here is a short list of some of the new features on the board:

- Custom Profile Fields- Users can customize their profile pages by selecting a background color or background image, with tiling options.- Facebook and Twitter Integration- users can respond to multiple posts at once with "mini-quote"- Pinned discussion threads - like welcome to our board etc.- Announcements made across some boards or the entire message board- Search: Users can easily find all content generated by a particular member, by clicking the 'Find Content' button that appears on the main profile page, or in the Mini Profile Popup which can be accessed throughout the board. The results page allows content to be filtered by application, as well whether the member created it or merely participated in it. - Privacy: allows users to sign in anonymously, hiding them from the online users list. Users also have the option to disable personal conversations and user-to-user emails, as well as ignore other users if necessary.

The next exciting piece of news about the new message board is it will have a new domain name of www.grieving.com for search engine optimization purposes. It will still be apart of Beyond Indigo and can be found through www.beyondindigo.com. We will be redirecting your current URL's to this new domain name but we might miss a few. If that is the case simply go back to www.grieving.com or www.beyondindigo.com to find your message board thread. We will try to make the transition as seamless as possible. 

The bottom line is the new board will give us room to grow our community and more options to interact better with each other. 

If you have any questions please direct them to feedback@beyondindigo.com.
