🥰Happy Father's Day to all the Dads! We hope you have an amazing day!🥰

*Cooper isn't Sage's dad, but he's definitely stepping up and showing our new puppy the ropes even though she can be a tad annoying to him sometimes 😂

Hi Cute as Fluff friends. It has been a rough, sad week in the Wioch household. Besides having van mechanical issues, our sweet little Willow hasn't been doing well and it's been a rollercoaster week. Please forgive me if I'm behind reaching out to you.

The following is the post from my personal page on Saturday April 20th:

Willow is at peace, but our hearts are in pieces 😭😭😭 💔💔💔

The house is too silent. I already miss her temper-tantrums. Her bark was the cutest. So bossy LOL All 9lbs of her. She was always underfoot in the kitchen while we cooked. She laid next to me everyday during my surgery recovery and she would tell me I needed to sit down and rest when I'd had a long day. Most of the time she would bang on the pantry door with her paw, or scratch at my leg and bark at me til I scooped her up and took her to the recliner or couch with me. She loved being carried, and melted in my arms often falling asleep. She was my little shadow, one of my heart dogs.

She took a huge piece of our hearts with her today and it hurts so much.

I really thought she would be with us so much longer, I know 12.5yo is older but for a small breed it definitely feels on the early side. The seizures started Monday, we thought they were under control and she came home that evening doing well. Then late Tuesday night she had another round and we headed to the ER. I thought we would have to say good-bye that night but she wasn't anymore ready than I was. They changed her medicine and she responded so well she got to come home Wednesday evening after 12 hours, not the 24-48hrs they anticipated. Thursday and Friday she was sleepy from the meds but her normal spicy, sassy, sweet, loving self when she was awake. We were hopeful. And she did well until this morning 😞 Despite our best efforts to get her seizures under control they broke through her medicine this morning at 9:16 and were her worst ones yet. I really didn't think she was going to make it to the vet. She only came back to semi coherent a couple times for a short while. It was horrible. She held on long enough for Nick to meet us at the vet, we all said our goodbyes and helped her pass peacefully.

As much as an inconvenience it has been to have my work van stuck at Ford since Thursday morning getting fixed, it was truly a blessing in disguise. I was home for her. The Universe knows why even though we may not understand at the time 🥺❤️‍🩹🐾

For this first time in almost 17 years we are a one dog household. Cooper seems lost, our kitties too, and so are we 😢

The rainbow bridge gained another furry angel this morning 🐾💔🌈 Rest in Paradise my sweet girl, I know Kitt and Luci were waiting for you today. We love you Willow 💕

Hug your fur kids tight, our time with them is never long enough,
Christie

Tomorrow marks 12 weeks post-op for me!!! To all my clients and pups who were actively scheduling prior to my surgery, I've begun reaching out to set appointments for July and August 😊 Due to my current limitations I will be slowly easing my way back into grooming so it may take a bit longer to get caught up and back on track with your normal rotation.

I'm doing my best to contact everyone via text by the end of the week regarding booking your pups and our new price adjustments for 2023.

Thank you for your continued patience and support while I'm recovering from surgery! I'm so excited to get back in the van and see everyone again! 🥰 🐾

Hi! How is everyone?! I'm officially 8 weeks post-op 🙂 Only about 4 more weeks of strict Dr's orders restrictions and boy are they warranted 😳 It's so frustrating still having issues doing basic tasks most people don't even think twice about like loading the dishwasher or get something from a lower fridge shelf without help (no bending, twisting, lifting yet) This recovery is unlike any other surgery I've had, as stir crazy as I get it's not ready yet for a lot of activity 😕 My Dr added a new medication for me which helps nerve pain while it's working but I know when it wears off 😬 Extended time resting and icing still work best to keep the nerves happy and inflammation under control.

I haven't begun to schedule out yet. I'll have to start back really slow, part-time so it may take 2+ months before I can get caught back up with everyone and begin to get back onto a new regular schedule. I'll be sending information out regarding scheduling in the next couple weeks.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far 😎 I'm so happy I felt good enough to watch my daughter graduate 8th grade! It took a lot out of me but of course was totally worth it 😊 My family and I thank you for your continued patience and understanding while I navigate my healing. Please give your adorable pups a hug for me 🥰🐾 I'm definitely missing everybody!

Today is 3 weeks post-op and I finally got my stitches removed! I have been able to handle a couple 1/2 mile walks so far, but I do get tired/sore that last 1/8 mile and have to slow down. Some nerves are starting to "wake-up" so I get occasional zings, needle pokes and still have the heel pain I had prior to surgery but it's a 6/10 vs the 10/10 pain level I was having before. I do notice when I over-do things, even something simple like sitting too long, causing pain and I end up back laying/reclining on ice. Instead of going up and down stairs one step, right leg led at a time, yesterday I began doing the "wedding marching" up and down to build strength and stability in both legs. I still have the restrictions to follow about no bending, lifting, twisting, pushing and pulling. One more week of a 8lbs carry limit then I can start working up to 20lbs.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out by text or called, sent a card or goodie 😊💕 I really appreciate it and it definitely helps break up the monotony of being stuck at home!

And a big shout out to my mom and Nick's mom for helping us keep up with things around the house, grocery runs, meal prepping, reminding me to rest during the day and going for walks with me. 🥰

We have made it home from Dallas, Texas! 🛬It's been a long day but the flight went smoothly. So glad to be back in the comforts of home! Now to rest and continue recovering. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and those who have gone above and beyond. My family and I really appreciate all of you! Hug your pups for me! 😊💕

Hi everyone! I'm finally feeling better and able to post an update. My surgery on Wednesday went well. My neurosurgeon, Dr. Feigenbaum, said it was a huge cyst (his words) and it had not only accordianed my nerves but smashed them also. The first night was rough due to some reactions to meds I was given. After being kept flat for 24 hours they slowly raised the bed to 15° then 30°. I was able to get up and walk yesterday afternoon. I even got to practice stairs before they released me back to our hotel today. Freedom! LOL

I have my follow up on Monday and then with an all clear we'll be heading home Tuesday! The incision site is sore and tight feeling but over-all I feel good, just a little groggy from the pain medicines. A BIG THANK YOU to all my Cute as Fluff families for your caring, prayers and support!💕🥰💕

Now the focus will be taking recovery slowly so I don't set myself back. Walking short distances and resting are my doctor's orders for healing. No BLT, bending-lifting-twisting, and I cannot handle anything over 8 lbs for now.

I'll do my best to respond to messages as I receive them!

Please watch your dogs closely if they always wear their collar with tags. It is that time of year when we have our furnace on. I know a lot of dogs that like to lay over a floor vent,. It is very easy for tags to get stuck in the grates.
