Greetings, and Welcome to my page.

My name is GinaGardens Oh Mi Little Admiral, Miles to my friends and family.  I am a bi black Shetland Sheepdog.  I live at the Healy House with Jeanette and Brian Healy.  I was born on December 1st, 2007 at GinaGardens Kennel, in Centerreach, Long Island, NY.  I am fully registered with the American Kennel Club.  Some day I hope to add Confirmation Titles, Obedience Titles, Agility Titles and Herding Titles to my name.

I am a member of Pawscouts USA, which is a home training group that is similar to the Boys Scouts or the Girl Scouts.  Like the Boys Scouts and Girl Scouts, I earn badges, only my badges are for each lesson I learn through the program.  Jeanette Healy is my Paw Leader and trainer.  You can find all the various pawscout badges on the website.  I can't wait to earn as many as I can.

I like traveling with Jeanette as she takes me with her when she goes wandering.  Some of the places I have visited so far are PetSmart, Pet Co, Gander Mountain Sporting Goods, Magical Cupboard, Home Depot, Lowes, B & G Pet supply Wal-Mart, Target and Borders Bookstore.  You never know where we might show up next.

I am taking show handling and obedience lessons at Caninepawzability.  Jeanette hopes that I can be a Therapy Dog someday.

I have blogs at Live Journal and Myspace, where you can find out about my various travels and adventures.

At the Healy House I have made a lot of friends from the Eclipsos Armoury crew.  And I can't wait to meet all of the Armoury Crew some day.  On Friday nights, I get to sit on Brian's lap as some of the Armoury crew gather to take part in their weekly table top dungeons and dragons game.  It's lots of fun to watch the dice roll on the table.  I even get to play with Jeanette's plush dice set.

For those interested in my name, Jeanette and Brian are avid readers, and one of their favorite series is the Vorkosigan Saga, a series of Space Opera Books written by Lois McMaster Bujold.  The main character through the series is named Miles Vorkosigan, and at one point he is an Admiral of a space fleet that he created.  So when Jeanette decided to name me, she decided that I had to be named for him.  I like my name, so I am not arguing.

I have other friends here at the Healy House.  I also have Rob, Rick and Toby, who share the house with Jeanette, Brian and I.
