Mia, the mighty Boston terrier

Mia strikes a pose, originally uploaded by kmcgivney.

This is Mia. Atom's friend and groomsman Steve and his wife Joline are Mia's owners. During a recent trip to Boston, we took a nice walk from our hotel in the Back Bay through the Fenway and over to their apartment, and spent a little bit of time lounging and chatting, but of course, Mia was incredibly photogenic and charming, so we spent a lot of time taking photos of her.

Boston terriers are usually small, but Mia is smaller than most. She's very active and wiggly. Those who are lick-averse would do well to avoid her, as she is very prone to licking humans. This shot was taken after she had worn herself out a little bit. Being a hostess can be quite exhausting.

On a personal note, though things are not entirely back to normal, I will be resuming a fairly regular blogging schedule. I have a lot of photos and information to overshare with the internet!
