I originally was going to spell it Gaia, like the goddess. But my husband said, "If someone around here reads her tag, how many people are going to know how to pronounce that?" Hmmm .... good point. So I just spelled it phoenetically on her dog tag ... Gia. Honestly, we rarely call our dogs their names anyway, so I suppose it doesn't matter. Sequoia is always called Boia, Pepper is always Peeper, etc.
She is actually sleeping in the recliner with Pepper and Georgie right now. OMGosh, this is the first time she has not been on my lap, standing up with her feet on me begging to be picked up, or laying on my feet. There is hope!
Housetrained .... hmmm, not so much. 
But we are, of course, working on it. Separation anxiety ... she could be the poster child. And that's a new one on me, my dogs are all very independent. We'll get there.
She is the softest dog I've ever felt, like satin. And by far the cuddliest dog I've ever had. I actually bought her a sweater today (which she hates). I would have never imagined myself ever putting clothes on a dog.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
