Karen's Pick Me Up Pups

05/07/2025

Kizzy my heart, my friend and true companion for 12 years . Saturday as I watched her run and play like a puppy with her soft beautiful fur , I commented to my friend that she was so healthy and happy and hoped she would have many more years but I prayed that when her time came , it would be quick, as she has been too perfect to have her suffer at all . Little did I know , she had days left . She collapsed on sunday and her heart stopped after a seizure , first and only seizure of her life. Remembering my prayer from the day before I kissed Kizzy and thanked her for being my guardian and sanity during trying times . But then I tried CPR and as I was about to give up, her heart started beating again and she started to breathe.. I sat with her for almost a half way and then she was back to normal wanting crock pot chicken . I was not going to bring her to an emergency vet because I did not want her to die in a metal cage without me . She ate drank and had a good few days .Tuesday morning I brought her to her vet for bloodwork and diagnostics to see if she could figure out what happened but I sensed reviving her was a gift from the universe to help me and give me time to say goodbye to her . After a good check up with wagging tail, I was about to pay and she collapsed with her heart stopping again. I told the doctor that it was time to just let her go,. The doctor said her heart indeed had stopped and she was gone I Kissed her and thanked her and and 30 seconds later her heart was beating again but her eyes told me she was leaving I told her to go bei with her kids that have gone sadly before her and we gave her euthanasia solution to help her let go . I feel like she just kept trying to stay with me to please me . KIzzy changed my life so much. She changed so many lives with her puppies and grand puppies . Some of you that have my puppies have become like family to me . So thank you all for being in my life. Thank you all for all the love that you have given your pups , my forever babies Kiss them on the lips for me . Take them for a ride , not just to the vet . Make time to hug them . I think Kizzy and I did pretty well . I could probably count on one hand how many rides I went on without her in her 12 years . She had a great life, spent time on beaches, and runs at the bog daily , visits from her puppies and grand puppies. She had a great life NO Regrets except Wishing for more time:!!!

I keep getting notices that I think are hackers, saying that I need to review my information or they’re going to take this page away. It’s not coming directly from Facebook. It always has somebody’s name attached to it so if by chance my page does disappear, I will create another one. I hope everybody is doing well. Our babies are getting older and some of them have left us for the rainbow bridge. I want to thank everybody for loving my puppies so well during their short visits here on earth. sometimes the visits are much too short. So it’s important that every day we treat them as if it could be their last day and make sure you take them for a ride. Take them for a nice walk. Give them a treat. take the time to pet them and give them a full body rub. They deserve it, we are not worthy of them, but I try every day to be worthy of my babies and any puppy that was born in my bedroom

Merry Christmas. Protect those fragile ears in this bitter cold . Put vaseline on the tips to keep them from getting brittle and cracking. Anyone who has had it happen knows that brittle ears will crack and spurt blood like a crime scene 😫. Been there Prevention is key !!

hello My puppy peeps I miss having puppies but my girls are all elderly and being pampered . Kizzy and Zara are now 11 and 10 yrs old and mom, grandma to many of your babies. Magee who had 2 litters sadly passed away last year at 8 years old I never use oral flea and tick meds and use a cat size dose of advantix when needed once or twice a year but she started having seizures indicating a brain tumor :( I tried for months to control them but God wanted an angel:( She was the sweetest girl and used to close the door for me after all the dogs came in , so I didn't have to go back downstairs myself to shut the door. I miss her and sometimes still cry because I couldn't save her She had a great life filled with so much love and adventure . So I would like to address Boxer aging issues and to remind people DO NOT USE BRAVECTO NEXGUARD < SIMIPARICA OR SERESTO COLLARS!!! Wondercide is a spray using essential oils but you can make a spray yourself with a crushed garlic clove, a few drops of dish detergent and cedar essential oil, lemongrass oil .. , . I also want to talk about another Boxer Issue . Growths on the gums . Seems to be more prominent in the males Kitchi had them so badly we had to have them lasered off and because they had covered his teeth for so long he had to lose all of his teeth. He almost died from being under anesthesia for so long . 2 procedures 4 hours each. he's doing much better now . Zeb daddy and grandpa to your kids and the best puppy sitter goes in for his surgery tomorrow . But his is focusing on one lump in the front of his gums that makes it look like he is blowing a bubble with bubble gum . He would benefit from lasering his gums also but with his age and knowing we need to take off the big lump in the front , we are just going for that so he is not under too long where he is 10 yrs old . If you have one of my dogs and need advice or have a question please ask Many of my puppy peeps have become lclose friends over the years :) Some of my best friends came from adding puppy love to their family :) I will let everyone know how Zeb does I am a bit worried Oh also if your dog has to be sedated for any reason Tell the vet NO ACE PROMAZINE It's a sedative known to cause sudden death in certain dog breeds , boxers being one. some vets don't agree but the millions of dead dogs are who I believe. That may have been part of why Kitchi almost died during his procedure. His heart rate was going high and erratic and they gave him ACE and then he crashed and almost didn't wake up :( Now thye have it on his chart NO ACE!!!! Enjoy your fuzzy kids , give them a good life. Take them for rides , let them run free in a safe space . If you live near me I will give you my yard to use or the bog for an hour

going to be hot this week especially wednesday . . If you wonder if it's too hot for your dogs' feet on the sidewalk or street, and I hope you do wonder..... Take off your shoes and walk barefoot for a minute It can go from feeling nice to way too hot quickly . Also don't leave them in your cars with the window down 2 inches :( Not good enough I only buy cars with a sunroof and also freeze a bowl of water so they can lick the melting ice when you drive on hot days :) Love your pups DO NOT USE ORAL FLEA AND TICK PRODUCTS Causing seizures, neurological issues, tumors, and death ;( Bravecto, Nexguard, Simparica and the Seresto collars too ;( I use advantage and advantix but use one tube for extra large dogs and divide it up between 6 dogs Do not use the whole tube Do not put it in one place on body ;( Appreciate every moment with these babies . Goes way too fast Here's my ten year old brother and sister Born on Cinco De Mayo 2014 Zeb And Zara Enjoy the summer here for any questions if you have one of my pups And even if it's not one of my babies I will still try to help
