Today we’re celebrating 12 years of the best friendship anyone could ever have.
Mia So This Many Weeks Old

As we’re gearing up for Mia’s Gotcha Day! 12 year anniversary happening in exactly two weeks, I thought it would be cute to attempt a recreation of one of her baby photos similar to what we did last year for her Gotcha Day!. And what perfect timing than to re-enact her 6-week old photo. We were fortunate that our breeder and friend allowed us to visit Mia every few weeks leading up to us getting to take her home. I believe it helped establish a strong bond between us well before she left her littermates and fur mamma. It made the transition all the more pleasant for us all. If you don’t know the story of how Mia and I met and became a couple, you can read about it here. Clearly we didn’t exactly nail it, but I love her back legs in both photos. She just wasn’t feeling exactly chill enough to relax on my not so comfortable leg and look at Kari while she snapped the photo. Well, we tried.
Mia So 12
We celebrated Mia’s new year with our every bday traditions, surprise breakfast in bed with second helpings. We enjoyed opening gifts and enjoying as much sun outside as possible. And like all birthdays we capped it off with a photoshoot. This photo is then used for our friend’s upcoming birthday greetings on social media. I (Agent J) had planned this year’s theme for almost a year. My first thought was to have her wearing the cake like a dress, but her being older she no longer can comfortably stand up like a rabbit on her hind legs. So I have to switch gears and decided to have her jumping out of a cake. Once I had that all sorted, I got to work. I spent an entire weekend making her giant unicorn sprinkle cake and cake topper fascinator. The setup was quick and per usual she got the shoot within a few frames. I cannot believe our Frenchie girl is 12.
A week leading up to Mia’s birthday, we added little sneak peek photos on social media to build up buzz and give our friends clues of what this year’s photoshoot theme could possibly be.

Mia So Chillin'
Mia enjoys her outside time laying in her yard and soaking up as much of Summer sun as possible. We’re going to take a break on the photo shoots and playing dress up to allow her to rest and heal from a recent eye injury. Bare with us, we may share some revamped previous photos using fun filters that’ll be relevant for the time.
