I will be off social media from today until 11/1 to honor and celebrate 💒💍
But...
I never thought a day would come
When I would say, “This season’s done.”
When all the leashes, keys, and gates
Would hold the memories of different dates.
For every paw that crossed my door,
You gave me something worth living for.
A wagging tail, a sleepy sigh,
A trusting look, a sweet goodbye.
I learned their quirks, their favorite toys,
Their nervous habits, their silly joys.
I knew which ones would bark and run,
And which just wanted the afternoon sun.
Some needed patience, some needed care,
Some just needed someone there.
And every time a family said, “We trust you,”
I held that promise like a heart should do.
But businesses aren't just what we do.
Sometimes they become a piece of you.
A little dream that grew its wings,
A thousand small, unforgettable things.
Mia’s Muttz was never just a name.
It was muddy paws and joy untamed.
It was showing up when days were long,
It was finding purpose when things felt wrong.
It was loving those who couldn't speak,
Being their comfort when they felt weak.
It was senior souls and tender care,
And being the person who would always be there.
And now I close a door, not out of shame,
Not because I no longer love this name.
But because life is asking me to slow,
To make room for things I need to grow.
So tonight, as I hang my last leash,
I'll hold back tears—or at least I'll try.
Because even when a chapter ends,
Its love doesn't have to say goodbye.
I'll still take walks. I'll still check in.
I'll still be there when new lives begin.
I'll still help families through the hardest days,
And love their babies in a thousand ways.
But some of the nights will now be mine.
Some quiet evenings, some slower time.
And though a part of me will always grieve,
I'm learning that it's okay to leave.
To every client who trusted my care,
Who let me love the ones waiting there,
Thank you for making this dream come true.
A piece of my heart belongs to you.
And to every dog whose paw I held,
Who made me laugh, who made me melt,
If love could speak in a language clear,
You'd know you mattered more than you could hear.
So this isn't the end of the love I've known.
It's simply a seed that I've already sown.
And wherever this next chapter may start,
I'll carry your paw prints inside my heart.
Tonight, I close one part of my dream,
With tears in my eyes and gratitude between.
The work may change, the seasons may part,
But once you've loved a dog, you never quite depart.
🐾 Thank you for being part of Mia’s Muttz. You weren't just clients. You were part of the story. This isnt the end either...Just a temp pause :)
