Hey everyone, it's me Mia. Boy roll on those lazy crazy days of summer! We've been gone for awhile, but we're back now. Teddie and Micky are playing in the fresh cut grass and well it just feels good. Things are going great here at the ranch and Ms. Charlene has been busy doing what she does best, rescuing animals. This picture is of Rinny, (short for Rin-Tin-Tin). Ms. Charlene and her friends

Wow, it is a whole new year and we are back to blogging finally. Ms. Charlene says she has had a tough time this past year, but with a new job, new friends in her life that things can only get better! We had a great holiday season and some really nice people that Ms. Charlene works with gave us really good treats and food to eat. I had to keep an eye on Mickey and Teddie because they kept

 Hi everyone, It's me Mia. Sorry we haven't been here in a couple of weeks.  Ms. Charlene is still trying to find a job and things are pretty hectic around here.Ms. Charlene says it is by the grace of God that we are all still doing well and have food on the table. She says we all must have a guardian angel watching out for us. We all don't really know what that means, but it must mean

Hi everyone. It's me Mia.  The weather's finally cooled off around here and we have been enjoying just laying around in the yard. Teddie thinks he is as pretty as this flower bush so he picked that spot for Ms. Charlene to take his picture! We all think Teddie is just a silly boy! Ms. Charlene has been enjoying the weather too because she has got to go on a few trail rides lately and that

Hey everyone, It's me Mia.  Sorry it's been a couple of weeks since I've been here, but Ms. Charlene has been busy looking for work and I can't type with my big fuzzy paws! Things are about the same. It's still really hot here at the ranch and we are all trying to take it easy and stay cool.  Teddie and Mickey take it easy everyday so I guess it's not really anything new for them. Ms.

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Sorry I haven't been here in a week or two. We have been busy here at the ranch and Ms. Charlene has been going to the city to work a little. It is still really hot down here on the farm, but Teddie and Mickey don't seem to mind to much.  All they want to do is play play play. Silly boys! Ms. Charlene said that the Central States Horseman Magazine did an article on us

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Well it is still really hot, but we have been getting some storms down here at the ranch. Mickey is afraid of storms so when it thunders he runs and hides under his special hiding place in the garage.  Ms. Charlene told us not to make fun of him because we all have little things about ourselves that make us different and it's a much more interesting world to have some

Hi everyone.  It's me Mia. Things are going great here at the ranch.  Lot's of new people coming out to visit and some old friends too!  Ms. Charlene tried some new food out on us and I have to say it was pretty tasty! FRIED GREEN TOMATOES!  She said there is a movie named that too and it is her all time favorite movie ever! It is all about real love and friendship and she says that is the

Hi everyone, it's me Mia. Another hot week here at the ranch.  We have been keeping cool by digging up Ms. Charlene's Flower bed and laying in the cool dirt. She doesn't seem to be really happy about it though. Betty and Teddie got in trouble for digging the biggest holes and they felt really bad about it too! They laid down by the fence way away from the flowerbed and watched Ms. Charlene

Hi everyone, it's me Mia. Boy has it been a crazy place around here lately.  Ebby and Ellie (those stinky cats!) came back last week and they brought a boy cat with them, Echo.  Ms. Charlene says Echo needed a home so she let him come back with Ebby and her daughter after they went away for a week to get spayed. She said he seems to fit in here at the ranch since he's also  black! Ms. Charlene

Hi everyone.  It's me Mia, Boy things are hot around here at Black Dog Rescue Ranch.  We have been shedding our winter hair and Ms. Charlene said it looked like enough hair on the front porch to make up another whole dog!! Ms. Charlene is funny.She told us this week that she is getting ready to make a major change in her life that will effect all of us.  We can't wait to see what that is going

Hi everybody, it's me Mia. Sorry I haven't been here in two weeks, we have been very busy here at the ranch. Two really nice ladies photographers from MM Photography in St. Louis came down and took a bunch of pictures of us last week and we really enjoyed their company. We got lots of belly rubs and treats too! They are going to do a cover story on us and our ranch in the "Central States

Hi everyone, it's me Mia. Well another busy week here at the Black Dog Rescue Ranch.  Ms. Charlene has been fixing stuff up around the ranch and is getting ready to add a roof to our patio area.  She said it was for all of us to have some shade when we have friends out to visit, but she said most of the time she figures we will be the ones enjoying the new patio!!Ms. Charlene is kind of sad

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Sorry I'm late getting this posted, but Ms. Charlene has been really busy lately with her new job and  doing a lot of stuff with her old friends and new friends too! She went to a Horse and Tack sale this past week-end and she had a wonderful time.  I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, but I'm glad she is finally getting out and doing more stuff with her old friends

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Wow what a great week-end. It's Mothers Day today and we all wanted to give Ms. Charlene something special, but the only thing we could come up with was a really big smile, so that's what we are giving her.  She said that was the best gift she could ask for and she loves us so much! Ms. Charlene had some friends out yesterday and they had so much fun visiting and

Boy another busy week-end!  We had a big storm come through Friday Night and blow some stuff down on our porch, but Ms. Charlene and some friends fixed it and now everything is back to being good as new! We had company this week-end too and that is always really fun for us, we get lots of attention and loved on! Ms. Charlene's niece Ali brought her horse over too to

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Boy it sure has been hectic around here lately.  Ms. Charlene started her new job and for the past two weeks she has been driving up to the big city for training.  She says she barely has time to do anything else, but feed us and make sure we are all doing OK.  Ms. Charlene says she feels bad about not having a lot of time to spend with us, but it will all be over soon

Hi everyone, it's me Mia. Boy what a week we have seen here at Black Dog Rescue Ranch!  Ms. Charlene's sister Gena, who lives right next to us, welcomed a new Hackney Pony Filly. They named her Willa. We thought that was pretty cool since we have a Willa living here at the ranch. Willa says she thinks the reason Gena picked her name is because the new pony deserved a great name since she is so

She spent a whole day this past week cleaning windows and cleaning out the gargage. She said it's because we get things kind of messy around here, and we put our paws and noses on the windows so she said

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Well another busy week here at Black Dog Rescue Ranch.  Ms. Charlene brought home another horse.  Actually Dixie used to live here, but since the people that adopted her cannot take care of her anymore Ms. Charlene went and got her and now she is back living at the ranch. I think she is pretty happy about being back here and we wanted to give her a big warm welcome!

You know sisters do tend to stick together through thick and thin....not that either one of them are very thin!  Well anyway, Molly and

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Well this past week-end was great weather and we have started digging in the yard again! You can see all the dirt on my nose. Ms. Charlene doesn't like us digging big holes in the yard, but she says since she can't catch us digging the holes she will just keep filling up the holes!  We kind of feel bad about it, but we can't help ourselves; we are dogs you know.

She said it will help keep the dog food in the bowl and we are all grateful for that! We have a new sister here at the Black Dog Ranch. Her name is Ebby, short for Ebony because she is solid black.  Ms. Charlene said Ebby was

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Well its still snowing here at the Black Dog Ranch and we have been playing in it some, but mostly spending time sleeping in our warm and cozy houses! Ms. Charlene says she sure is ready for spring and I think the horses feel the same way! Ms. Charlene had another book signing this past week-end, but not a lot of people showed up for it.  She is hoping we will do better

Hi everyone it's me Mia, Well we got a really big snow this past week-end and boy did we have fun playing in it! Ms. Charlene doesn't really like the snow that much, but we certainly took advantage of running in it and the horses seem to like rolling in it too! Well other than the snow things have been pretty slow around here. Ms. Charlene is trying to get some dates set up for book

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Well another week has gone by here at the Black Dog Ranch and we have been busy doing ranch stuff.  Ms. Charlene got the truck stuck in the mud trying to get a big bale of hay out to the horses and she was pretty up-set about it. She had to call her Father to come pull her out with the big farm tractor.  We couldn't understand why Ms. Chalene was so upset about all

I told Teddie and Molly we sure are lucky that none of our feet need to be fixed cause I sure wouldn't want it to effect all the digging I've been doing.

Ms. Charlene says we are silly, but she loves watching us having fun because she loves us soooo much. Well we hope everyone is off to a great new year out there. It has been cold and snowy here at the

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. I am laying on my favorite blanket on top of my favorite bench on our front porch watching over the ranch today. Things are getting back to our regular routine now that the holidays are behind us and all the family visiting for the holidays have gone home. Me and my brothers and sisters don't mind the visitors though, we love company and love all the attention

Hi everyone, it's me Mia. Boy did we have a great Christmas. We got two big raw meaty bones each and they were soooo good. Santa must love us a lot! I hope everyone had a great Christmas too. We found a little dog on Christmas evening and we want to know if there is anyone out there that would give her a good home???? she is small, looks to be around 2-3 years old and must go to someone wanting

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. I just can't wait until next Friday. It will be Christmas. The greatest day of the year for two reasons. It is Jesus' Birthday and it's when Santa brings me and my brothers and sisters real bones with meat on them! YUMMY...!!! Ms. Charlene says all of us have been pretty good this year (except all the holes we dug in her yard) so we should get some really good bones

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Well it is getting closer and closer to Christmas around here and I keep telling Teddie, Mickey and Molly I think I can hear Santa's sleigh and his rain deer every once in awhile. Teddie said that I am silly because Santa knows how to sneak around and not let anyone see him or hear him, but I still think I saw him just last night. Charlie is getting into the

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Well it has certainly gotten cold this past week. Of course we don't mind the cold weather because it makes me and my brothers and sisters frisky and playful. Ms. Charlene says it just makes her bones stiff. I guess everyone is getting ready for Christmas and we are making a list of stuff we would like Santa to bring to the ranch. Willa and Betty said that

Hi Everyone. It's me Mia. Well I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We certainly did here at the ranch. We even got extra treats and two whole packs of hotdogs! I don't know why they call them hotdogs because they don't look anything like me and my brothers and sisters, but they sure do taste good! Ms. Charlene had a wonderful time at the Freer Elementary school last week too. Her sister

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Things are going well here at the ranch. It is a cool Fall day today and Ms. Charlene said our coats are getting really thick and fuzzy. Nature's way of preparing us for the winter months ahead. Ms. Charlene says it is amazing how the Good Lord's Creation knows just when to do things at the right times. We really don't know why Ms. Charlene gets so worked up about

Hi Everyone. It's me Mia. We are all doing great here at the ranch. It has been very nice weather this week so Ms. Charlene has been spending a lot of time outside playing with us and of course those silly horses. I told my brothers and sisters I don't know why Ms. Charlene thinks those horses are so special. I mean they can't do tricks like Maggie can. Maggie can roll over,

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Boy has it been a really exciting week here at the ranch. We were playing in the backyard the other day and guess what was snooping around the barn???? A COYOTE! First Molly barked at him and when he turned around it scared her so she ran and told Teddie and the rest of us and we ran to the back fence and bark for a really long time at him. I think he knew that we

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. I'm sitting on my favorite bench on the front porch taking it easy. It has been a very busy week here at the ranch. Ms. Charlene has a new job besides taking care of all of us. She is going to sell insurance and has to study for a test. Boy I sure am glad we don't have to study for test too. I remember how hard it was for me to learn how to walk on a lease and ride

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Well another week has gone by here at the ranch and all of us are feeling pretty frisky lately. The weather has really cooled down and being true farm dogs we love cool weather! It is a great time to play and wrestle around with each other without getting all hot and slobbery. Ms. Charlene took our new horse, "Sugar" on a trial ride this week-end and she said she

Hi Everyone. It's me Mia. Well another week here at the ranch and things have been going great. We got to see a real live coyote the other morning. There were two of them out in our pasture very early that morning just checking things out and Teddie went crazy because he couldn't get out of the fence and chase after them. I think they knew Teddie couldn't get out so they kind of hung out for a

The weather hasn't gotten too hot so Ms. Charlene has been able to do some much needed work around the ranch. She has been repairing fence and we have been following her around the ranch helping out. Well mainly just following her around and watching Ms. Charlene do all the work.

Hi Everyone. It's me Mia. Well this has been a very busy week. Ms. Marie brought her two horses over to stay with us at the ranch this summer because they don't have as much grass on their farm as we have at the Black Dog Ranch. Ms. Charlene said we would be happy to help them out for the summer because after all that's what folks are suppose to do, help each other out when someone is in need!

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Boy has it been a beautiful day today! We have been playing in the yard with Ms. Charlene and she came up with a new game for us to play. We are all trying to figure out why Ms. Charlene wants us to chase this round flat thing she keeps calling a "Frisbee"??? I told Teddie for him to go get it because I would rather sit on my bench on the front porch. He told

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. I'm sitting on the front porch with my brothers and sisters. We just got done playing chase the ball with Ms. Charlene so we needed to rest for a minute. Maggie and Charlie got to come outside and play for awhile too, but Ms. Charlene keeps a close eye on them because they are a lot smaller than we are and she doesn't want anyone to accidently get hurt.

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. Well this is me posing for a picture at the Bark in the Park this past week-end. Boy was there a lot of dogs there. I have never seen so many dogs ever! Ms. Charlene told me I was the most beautiful dog there in my new bandanna. Ms. Charlene said it was wonderful how all of those great people came out to support the Humane Society of Missouri and how all the money we

Hi everyone. It's me Mia. I'm acting silly for Ms. Charlene in this picture. Ms. Charlene told me I am such a blessing. I don't know for sure what that means, but it must be something good because she gave me a big hug! Well this week has been kind of sad for all of us here at the ranch and especially for Ms. Marie, Baby Blaze's Mommy. Ms. Charlene and Ms. Marie took Baby Blaze to the Indiana

Hi everyone, it's me Mia. Well I know I'm a little late getting this posted, but Ms. Charlene spent this past week-end in Kansas City at the big Pet Expo and she didn't get back until late last night. As you all know I need Ms. Charlene to help me write these stories so she said we would do it tonight. I'm sitting on our front porch watching my two brothers "rough-house" each other around. I

Hi everyone, it's me Mia, Well it has been a very busy week around here. Ms. Charlene has gone to a lot of Book Readings and Book Signings and she said that everyone really wants to meet me. She tells everyone she meets about how special I am and what a blessing me and the others have been to her. I'm not sure what that means, but it must be something good because when Ms. Charlene was telling

Hi Everyone, It's me Mia. Well this has been a great week for us here at Black Dog Ranch. Spring is finally here and Teddie is so happy that he just has to roll around and act silly! Angel is getting ready to go stay with Ms. Darla for a week or two until she gets better from her surgery. Ms. Darla is helping Ms. Charlene out by taking Angel to the Vet. She said that it is very important for

Hi everyone, it's me Mia, I'm making a silly face for Ms. Charlene and the camera. Ms. Charlene says I'm cute no matter what kind of face I make though. Well our new fence is almost done. Ms. Charlene and Ms. Marie have worked on it several times this past week and they only have a little of it left to finish. I heard Ms. Charlene saying to Ms. Marie she will be glad when that happens cause

Hi Everyone, it's me Mia, Well this week has been a new beginning for all of us here at the ranch. Ms. Charlene and some of her friends and family started building our new fence. It's not done yet, but pretty soon Teddie is not going to be able to take us to the woods behind our farm. I don't think he is going to be very happy about that either. Ever since Teddie has lived here at the ranch he

Hi everyone it's me Mia, I'm sitting on our picnic table with Molly and Mickey. Mickey always has to try and show off a little for Ms. Charlene (boys are silly) so he is doing a trick by standing and sitting at the same time and giving the camera a big smile.Well it has certainly been a busy week down here at the ranch. Last Sunday Ms. Charlene took me with her to another town. We went

Hi everyone it's me Mia, I'm standing on Ms. Charlene's leg and she is giving me good scratching in this picture. I love her soooo much. Well things have been pretty routine here at the ranch this week. Ms. Charlene puts these really big round bales of hay out for our horse brothers and sisters and Teddie, Betty, Mickey, Molly, Willa and myself have discovered recently that it is a really cool

Hi everyone, I guess you are wondering why my nose is soooo dirty. Well this past week Ms. Charlene thought all of us would really like a big beef bone and boy was she right! Me and my brothers and sisters chewed on those bones practically all day yesterday and then it dawn on me that if I didn't hide mine at some point Teddie or Mickey was going to take it. So I spent a good deal of time

Hi everyone, it's me Mia, well I went to dog school this past week and it really wasn't all that scary. Ms. Charlene put me in the truck (that part I didn't like at all) and we went to town where the teacher lived. He was a nice man and he kept trying to get me to eat chicken treats, but I wasn't having any of it. I don't think he realizes that Ms. Charlene gives us lots of treats back at

Well another week has gone by and we are all doing fine here at the ranch. I heard Ms. Charlene talking to a nice lady the other day about sending me to dog school. She's suppose to teach me how to go for rides in the truck and not be so nervous. Well that makes me nervous. I just don't think I need to go to dog school so I told Teddie that maybe he should do it instead of me. Ms. Charlene

Hi everyone, well it's been a very busy week. Ms. Charlene has spent a lot of time making sure everyone stays warm here at the ranch. We had our first snow of the year and Ms. Charlene was so worried about all of us getting to cold. I don't know what the big deal was because my brothers, sisters and I thought it was great fun to race around the farm in all of that snow. I rolled in it too.

Well it's been a week or so since I have up-dated you on stuff going on here at the ranch. We have been pretty busy around here. Ms. Charlene went up to the big city (St. Louis) yesterday and they put her on TV to talk about me, my brothers and sisters and our book "Stories From Black Dog Ranch". Ms. Charlene said it was a great opportunity to let people know about our book. She said they

Well we are starting a brand new year at Black Dog Ranch and Mia has decided that she would like to share some of her stories of day to day life here at the ranch. She said that everyone would rather hear from her than Ms. Charlene (Kristie) so I guess that's the way it should be.... Hi, it's me Mia It is the second day of a new year here at the ranch.

All of us here at Black Dog Ranch had a great Christmas. All the dogs and horses got lots of special treats. Maggie and Charlie even got a little leftover Turkey and Ham. I guess they figured since they live inside the farmhouse and don't get to run around the whole farm like Mia and her brothers and sisters they deserved something even more special than the typical "dog cookies".....All and

Hi Everyone, Mia and the Gang from Black Dog Ranch wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. We hope some of you are planning to take home a shelter pet for Christmas this year.
