Mia's Story
From her puppy days defiantly escaping a laundry basket to her cherished spot curled up on a pillow, Mia the Basset Hound with the kinked tail was a truly one-of-a-kind best friend. Her deep, floor-vibrating bark at meal times, a sound that only grew louder in her deaf years, was a testament to her vibrant spirit and the loving bond she shared. She is now imagined playfully rolling in the grass and playing tug-of-war with her half-sister, Livvey, before settling into a warm, comfy bed with the perfect pillow.

Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica
Verse 1
I recall a laundry basket, a tiny, stubborn pup
Growling at her blankets, you just wouldn't give it up.
Nipping at my fingers, a sweet and playful fight,
You’d flip that basket over, escaping in the night.
Soon you joined me in the bed, a deal forever sealed,
Curled up by my pillow, your soft head gently healed.
Snoring softly next to me, a presence strong and true,
My sweet Basset puppy, a love that always grew.
Chorus
Oh, Mia, my Mia, for thirteen years you stayed,
A million dollar soul, no price could ever be paid.
Though heartache lingers, and tears begin to fall,
Your love remains a beacon, answering every call.
Verse 2
Meal times brought a rhythm, a sound I miss so deep,
Your bark, a grand vibration, while I would softly sleep.
From bowl to floor, you'd serenade, a deafening delight,
Thinking I couldn't hear you, with all your joyous might.
That deep resounding chorus, vibrating through the floor,
A language all your own, that I'll hear nevermore.
Oh, the quiet now is deafening, a silence hard to bear,
For that booming morning greeting, still echoes in the air.
Chorus
Oh, Mia, my Mia, for thirteen years you stayed,
A million dollar soul, no price could ever be paid.
Though heartache lingers, and tears begin to fall,
Your love remains a beacon, answering every call.
Bridge
I loved you so much, you were my whole wide world,
That little puppy with the kinked tail, nobody wanted, unfurled.
You became the most amazing friend, devoted, strong, and true,
A million dollar soul, my heart aches that I lost you.
In my efforts to do best by you, a path I couldn't mend,
Please forgive me, sweet Mia, my faithful, lifelong friend.
Banjo Solo
Final Chorus
Oh, Mia, my Mia, for thirteen years you stayed,
A million dollar soul, no price could ever be paid.
Though heartache lingers, and tears begin to fall,
Your love remains a beacon, answering every call.
Outro - guitar fade
Now rolling in green grasses, with Livvey, side by side,
Playing tug of war in sunshine, with nothing left to hide.
Then sleeping in a warm bed, with a perfect pillow there,
My sweet Mia, peaceful, beyond all earthly care.
