Do you remember Mila? She is the beautiful mixed breed who was rescued from under a car in Dallas and now lives in Laureate Park with Peter and Melissa. The latest on this sweet pooch is that she seems to be making new friends these days with all sorts of non-canine creatures. Recently, Mila visited family in Boca Raton and came upon a large iguana in the yard. 

The iguana played dead, and after careful sniffing, Mila walked away. The savvy iguana escaped – smart guy! She is endlessly trying to catch squirrels. She will sit under a tree for long periods staring at a shivering squirrel sitting on the branches, or she will run along her fence when a squirrel passes by. It is not likely that Mila has friendly intentions with squirrels

— hoping these squirrels can learn from iguanas!

Mila’s favorite toy is a very realistic looking stuffed toy squirrel. Perhaps Mila just really wanted to be close to a squirrel all along. But squirrels are not the only creatures in Mila’s world.

Recently, she has spotted deer and even armadillo. Now she has discovered cattle, and she is totally mesmerized. Or is she wondering if she can intimidate these huge creatures on the other side of the fence? It might be tough for her Paw-Rents to find a life-sized stuffed one she can sleep with along with the squirrel.

Mila’s menagerie – it’s an interesting world!!
