Hey there, hoomans! It's me, Milagra!
You might know me as Mila, but around here, they call me The Miracle Pup (and honestly, I totally live up to the name, if I do say so myself ๐Ÿ˜Ž). I wanted to give you all an update on my FABULOUS life, and trust meโ€”it's one for the books! ๐Ÿ“–โœจ

First, let me take you back to where it all startedโ€ฆ Yeah, I had a pretty ruff start. ๐Ÿ˜” I lost part of my face to something horrible done by some not-so-nice humans. My skin was dry, my fur was patchy, and I was super underweight. ๐Ÿ˜ข I had a lot going on:

๐Ÿ’” Pain from two tick-borne viruses (ugh, ticks! ๐Ÿ˜ก)
๐ŸŽ—๏ธ A tumor that needed 6 rounds of chemo! (I'm a warrior ๐Ÿ’ช)
๐Ÿฆท Facial reconstruction surgeries (so now Iโ€™ve got the cutest little faceโ€”missing teeth and all! ๐Ÿ˜‰)
๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Heartworm treatment (I'm still fighting, but I'm tough as nails ๐Ÿพ)
๐Ÿš‘ Spay surgery (ouch, but totally worth it for the glow-up ๐Ÿถ)
I was a gangly 26 pounds when I first arrived at SPR. But look at me now! Iโ€™m a stunning 42 pounds with a gorgeous shiny black coat that makes me look like a supermodel ๐Ÿ–คโœจ. I even get compliments all the time, especially during my car rides, which I LOVE (Iโ€™m practically a co-pilot now, hehe ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ).

๐Ÿ• My Fabulous Life Now ๐Ÿ•
These days, Iโ€™m absolutely living my BEST life. ๐Ÿ’– Iโ€™ve got toys to play with ๐ŸŽพ, I get the zoomies ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ, and Iโ€™m treated like the princess I was always meant to be ๐Ÿ‘‘. Hawk Ridge Animal Hospital peeps love meโ€”they give me all the extra attention because, well, I deserve it. ๐Ÿ˜œ And guess what?! I have a foster brother named Harvey whoโ€™s also a special case like me. Heโ€™s a double amputee ๐Ÿฆพ, but that doesnโ€™t slow him down one bit! Weโ€™re quite the pairโ€”two miracle pups living large! ๐Ÿพ

Here are some fun facts about me:

๐Ÿฆ„ Zoomie Master: If you havenโ€™t seen me zoom around, youโ€™re missing out! Iโ€™m fast when I wanna be!
๐Ÿš— Car Ride Queen: I love sticking my head out the window and feeling the breeze on my (newly shiny) fur.
๐Ÿงธ Toy Enthusiast: Toys = life. End of story.
๐Ÿ’ž Velcro Mode: I never leave my foster mommaโ€™s side. Weโ€™re BFFs 24/7!
Oh, and did I mention Iโ€™ve been getting my heartworm treatment? Yep, last week I got my first injection. Not gonna lie, it wasnโ€™t my fave ๐Ÿ˜ฌ, but Iโ€™m doing just fine now! ๐Ÿ’ช

๐ŸŒŸ How Far Iโ€™ve Come ๐ŸŒŸ
I know, I knowโ€”Iโ€™ve been through a lot. But when you look at where I started and where I am nowโ€ฆ WOW! Talk about a glow-up! ๐Ÿ˜ From being underweight and beaten to gaining 16 pounds of pure muscle and love, I'm thriving in ways no one thought possible. Iโ€™m healthy, happy, and living in the best Fospice home ever. ๐Ÿ’–

๐ŸŒธ So here's to meโ€”Milagra, the miracle dog who refuses to let the past define her. I survived it ALL:

๐Ÿ’‰ 3 rounds of antibiotics
๐ŸŽ—๏ธ 6 rounds of chemo
๐Ÿง  2 facial reconstruction surgeries
๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Spay surgery
๐Ÿ’Š Heartworm treatment
But now, life is all about cuddles, toys, and living my best princess life with my amazing foster mom and bro Harvey. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’•

Thanks to everyone for believing in meโ€”because this miracle pupโ€™s story isnโ€™t over yet! Iโ€™m just getting started. Watch out world, Milagraโ€™s here to stay!
