This morning our human Mum had the camera out bright and early before breakfast so we wouldn't get too hot later.

Because we all ran so fast and all the photos were blurry, our human Mum is wishing she had waited until it was hot coz then we would all stay still under the trees 😂

NFS 😊

Just to prove I don't just traumatise little puppies but also the older dogs don't escape the camera 😂

Spike, Ace and Oscar along with everyone else at Maraquita Boxers wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and New Year ###

Trying to beat the heat, we were out bright and early this morning.
We then had a go at the wrapping paper theme, another disaster with paper that was "too busy" and pups looking as sad as they possibly could and a hat which refused to stay on their heads 😂

I do believe they've had enough of me and my camera 🤔

After our human Mum totally embarrassing us last week with the "Wild West" saga you'd think she'd learnt her lesson and stopped this nonsense.
Oh no, we couldn't be so lucky.
This week, she dreamed up a "Beach" theme.
None of us were impressed until we got to play outside afterwards.
We particularly hated the sombreros, and as soon as we get the chance, we're going to chew them up!

Unfortunately, Mum didn't notice the backdrop was so wrinkled for quite some time, and was then heard to mutter "Bad luck, I'm not starting again" 😂

Hopefully mum has come to the conclusion she's terrible at this and now stops 🤞🤞🤞

So...in my head I had planned an awesome photo shoot with cowboys, cowgirls, akubras, bandanas and miniature hay bales for our almost 4 week old babies👌
In reality, OMG what a disaster 😂

No wonder they say don't work with kids and animals, lesson learnt 😄

After ages trying to get it right, we resorted to Plan B but it was warm outside by then so after a couple of minutes we had to give up.

Better luck next week 🤞🤞🤞

On our morning walk, my much loved Spike.

The decision has been made (not by Spike) that this hunk of s***k needs to lose some chunk 😂

25/11/2024

Yep 👌

Anyone missing this poor bubba?

19/11/2024

Yep, that's me every visit to the shops 🙄

Well, is it any wonder I don't get anything done with these gorgeous time wasters around 😍🥰

These absolutely stunning babies are by Oi aka Maraquita The Maestro At Chelleason (Grand Champion Maestro Von Edelshof imp Serbia) x Chilli aka Maraquita Empress Of Hope.

⚠️ Dear Pet Owners,

Unfortunately an outbreak of Canine Parvovirus (CPV) is affecting South East Queensland.

Common symptoms include:

-Lethargy and weakness
- Severe bloody diarrhoea
- Fever
- Vomiting
- Loss of appetite

"In puppies aged between six weeks and six months, it can be fatal (the death rate in young non-vaccinated puppies can be greater than 80 percent), although early vaccination has been effective... Common signs of parvo-affected puppies include initial tiredness and not wanting to play. The next signs will include vomiting, followed by very foul smelling dysentery or diarrhoea." - Vet Voice, Australian Veterinary Association

Please contact your trusted veterinarian as soon as possible if your dog shows any signs of Parvovirus.

Stay safe xo

Snake bites....

After having 4 snake bite victims (and 1 which was brought in as a possible snake bite victim) come into the vet clinic where I work last week, I thought I'd post this.
(Please note I am not a vet, just the dummy assistant 😊).

If you think your dog or cat has been bitten by a snake, get them straight into the car and get to your nearest vet clinic as quickly as possible.
CALL THE CLINIC and advise you're coming in and an eta.
Several of the victims arrived last week with no notice and it then becomes chaotic when the veterinary staff are dealing with other cases.
If we have warning, we can be prepared.

If you are unsure if your pet has been bitten but they are unsteady on their feet, vomiting, frothing, lethargic, paralysis etc, bring them in.
If you see them near a snake and not sure if the snake may have bitten them but they're not showing symptoms, still take them in. It's much safer to get them checked than to wait and then have them deteriorate.

If you can identify the type of snake involved, awesome but please don't waste valuable time looking for the snake.
Also, my vet/boss has told me of cases where people have brought the live snake to the vet with them. Please don't do that 😂

Time is critical!

Hmm, wonder if my boss is reading this 🤔😂
I sure do hope so 🤞
