Kisa Marie

Kisa Marie I’m a rescue trying to show the world how amazing shelter animals are. Hi! My name is Kisa Marie. Lucky for me, my owner surrendered me to a shelter.
(2)

I was born in 2021 and for the first 8 months of my life I lived in a not-so-good house where I was mistreated. Unfortunately, I stayed there for 8 months. On January 2, 2023, my new parents came and took me home. I was nervous and scared around men, so it took me a day to warm up to my new dad. But he was great and got down on the floor with me and was really nice. I learned that I did not have t

o gobble up my food because I was always going to have food available and nobody was going to take it away from me. I have a brother, an Indian Ringneck Parrot, that took a bit of time to adjust to. He talks, and I had never heard a bird talk before. He would come outside of his cage, climb down to my level, and say “come here.” I would go over, and my parents would say “leave it.” I was kind of confused, but realized that I should listen to my parents and not my brother. My parents took me to the vet a couple weeks after adopting me, just to make sure everything was okay and to get me established. The vet thought it would be a good idea for me to go to daycare sometimes to help me get socialized. Turns out in order to go to daycare I needed the flu vaccine, so I had to get a shot. It pinched, but wasn’t too bad. I went for my evaluation day at daycare in February and did great. I knew how to alert my parents when I needed to go outside, but didn’t know any other commands or tricks. Mom enrolled me in beginner class at PetSmart, and boy do I really like going to class. I learned to focus (look at mom), sit, stay, get up on a box, and walk past people and other dogs without stopping to interact with them. The class also learned leave it, but my parents had already taught me that because of my brother. I was supposed to learn lay, but no matter how much people tried to teach me I didn’t understand what they wanted me to do. I kept putting my head and front paws down on the floor with my butt in the air, but that wasn’t right. I graduated beginner, intermediate, advanced, and therapy dog classes. I’m now a certified therapy dog and do nursing home visits. In addition to all the fun I have at daycare and class, I have a best friend that lives just a few houses down. I enjoy meeting all dogs I see walking in the neighborhood, but my best friend Gracie and I had an instant connection and were playing together immediately when we crossed paths in January. It was kind of hard to play on the side of the road with both of us on a leash, so Gracie’s mom invited us down for a playdate later that week. We had so much fun. At first, we were playing 2-3 times a week. Now, we play pretty much every day! Sometimes we go there and sometimes they come here. Gracie’s parents are so nice to me and call me their step dog. When I hurt by back (nothing too serious), they got me a treat and a teddy bear. For my 2nd birthday, they got me a new collar and one of the big treats I like from the local pet store. Gracie has a brother Max, who is an outdoor cat. I wasn’t sure about him at first, but now we are friends and even play together when Gracie and I are playing in her backyard. I am lucky to have four grandparents: Grandma, Grandpa, Grammy, and Grandad. I go to Grandma’s house the most because Mom has to go stay there every other month or so for some appointments. There is a doggy door and a fenced back yard, so I get to spend a lot of my time outside. Grandpa lives at the coast, and I got to go to the beach for the first time. Grammy and Grandad have three dogs, but two are really old and don’t want to play. One is just a couple years older than me though, so that is nice. My goal is to help people realize that there are awesome dogs like me in shelters all over the world. Please adopt, don’t shop. When you do adopt, please give your new pet time to adjust. Some of us have been through a lot. Remember the rule of 3: it can take us 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to feel comfortable in our new home with our new family, and 3 months to be fully settled in. There are plenty of resources online about this, so please take a look before you adopt. Some sites have great suggestions on how to help us adjust to our new home. I’m so lucky to have been adopted by my parents. They tell me they love me all the time and that I am a good girl. It is nice to have a good home where I feel safe and loved. Sharing my adventures (and mishaps) with everyone is going to be so much fun. Please follow me on Facebook as Kisa Marie, Instagram as misskisamarie, and on my website www.kisamarie.com.

Please keep Chomp the Pup and his family in your thoughts as he crosses rainbow bridge at 5pm today. He got to have a big 12th birthday party and celebration of life in a Houston park Saturday. I wish we could have gone. Cancer sucks.

Mom and Dad went to the store without me to get a bag of my food. I wasn’t thrilled I was left at home, but then I found out they bought me a beef stick. YUM! I forgive them 😁

Update: They reached their goal.

I’ve been following this story from Daisy Farm Sanctuary. We learned about them when a follower nominated them in our February contest. A man found Penelope, picked her up, got her vet care, and delayed a trip - all to save her. The vet bill is $600 and as of 5 hours ago when they posted they only had $300. The man gave up so much to save Penelope, he shouldn’t have to pay a vet bill too. I talked Mom into donating $50 (pic in comments), so now only $250 is left. If you or anyone you know can help, I know Penelope’s savior would be grateful.

This hasn’t been the best week, but Mom is doing the best she can to make it good.

There has been a loose dog that is aggressive. It belongs to a neighbor we don’t know. It’s gotten out occasionally before, but today was day 3 this week. It chases people and Mom worries what would happen to me if we were outside. Soooo, I’ve barely been out. We don’t have a fenced yard, so I get to go out only when Dad is home and even then just briefly to do business. Y’all know I love to be outside. It’s breaking Mom’s heart to see be sad and bored. That’s why I got to go to the dog park Tuesday and PetSmart today. She was just trying to cheer me up. I did get a No-Hide stick and Mom finally bought me the blue duck I’ve been wanting so It isn’t all bad.

To make things worse this week, Mom got hurt Monday. I saw a squirrel and she said we could go get it. She harnessed me up and we took off across the yard. Mom went from running behind me to flat on her face so fast neither of us really know how it happened. She says it isn’t my fault, she just can’t run, lol. She knew her right shoulder, ribs, left thumb, left knee, and left big toe were hurt. She also knew she hit her head and had a headache. She was already off Tuesday, which is when we went to the park because that darn dog was out. When she worked Wednesday, her head started hurting worse and eventually her vision got blurry and she threw up. Dad took her to the ER. They were only worried about her head. They did a CT and said it’s just a bad concussion. Working was making it hurt worse. They said her brain needs to rest so no work until Monday. Dad was off today too so it was almost like a Saturday for me, except for getting to play outside because of that darn dog.

Mom says not to worry, she will be fine. She has an ortho appointment Monday for her shoulder and thumb with one doc and one Tuesday for her knee and toe with another doc. Her head is getting better after 2 days of rest and she says by Monday she’ll be fine to work. Miss Sabrina that owns Lil Lola Cakes & Treats (where they buy my cakes and treats) sent Mom flowers and cupcakes. Wasn’t that sweet?

Mom and Dad say I can go to the park tomorrow.

Some people ask if Mom ever keeps any of my paintings. She loves them all, and some are hard for her to let go. But she knows that every painting she lets go helps raise money for shelters and rescues. This was the first painting she decided to keep. It was one of the first ones I did, and the first one she just couldn’t let go. It’s named Northern Lights, named by a follower. It’s 4x4 black canvas, non-magnetic.

If you have won or bought one of my paintings, share a pic below. My spring/Easter collection will be posted on March 21st at 3pm central for those who don’t yet have a painting and want one or those who have one/some and want more. My Valentine’s collection was gone in 56 hours (22 paintings), so we are trying to have 30-40 ready by then.

The park was fun yesterday, but running around in the pouring rain resulted in a bath 😭 We got home and Mom didn’t even let my feet hit the ground. She carried me straight to the bathroom and shut the door. I had a lot of fun at the park, so I guess it was worth it.

It’s COLD this morning. I did my business quick, got my morning treat from Dad, then snuggled on the couch with Mom because she had a warm blanket. HAD because it’s mine now 🤣 She says it’s worth giving up the blanket to get snuggles ❤️🐾
