Here is BHRR's Lizzy 'fam' photo. My iPhone did not take the best photos and the eyes are not the best. 🙁

ADOPTED November 9th, 2012

BHRR's Lizzy has been ADOPTED! She shall go to her forever loving new home on Friday November 9th.

We have indicated to her wonderful new home that should she require any more treatment for this hematoma/saliva gland play booboo, BHRR shall cover the bills.

We offered to hold on to her until she was finished her course of antibiotics yet, they had no issues with her being on meds and giving her those meds etc., so she is headed their way tomorrow!

 

BHRR's Lizzy decided that I was not having enough Vet visits and I had to bring her to work with me today.

I suespected a ruptured saliva gland and it appears like she may also have a hematoma too. Silly wabbit!!

So doxy 100 mg for 28 days and Deramaxx 100 mg after having a cytology and in draining…..

Keep her in your thoughts and send nice healing vibes!

BHRR's Lizzy is NOW AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! LOVE this girl! LOVE LOVE LOVE her! 🙂

She can go to a home that works full time, part time, semi-retired, works from home for she is another one of those versatile dogs! 🙂

I love how her tail just wags in a full circle! 🙂

She can be in a home with at least one other right matched personality fit dog or as an individual dog as long as her home has a great doggie social network for her to have as she loves her doggie friends!

BHRR's Lizzy was spayed today and weighted 35.5 KGs(78.10 pounds). YAY! Putting on that much needed weight slow and nice!

Once she has about 7-10 days to recover from her spay, she shall be placed up for adoption!

I would recommend to any new forever loving home to NOT give her blankets unsupervised, especially if she has to be on crate rest. She likes to express her displeasure by destroying them!

She has been fine when having a free run of the house. No issues! She has had free run of our home for some time now! 🙂

BHRR's Lizzy's spay – October 16th, 2012 – second photo courtesy of S. Hill

BHRR's Lizzy was not able to be spayed today at KAH. 🙁

She was sedated and ready to be intubated when a slight discharge was noted. The Vet asked what I wanted to do and if I wanted to proceed yet; I said that I would delay her spay as I want her at her heathiest. So, she is on antibiotics for the next two weeks and her spay has now been scheduled for October 16th.

I forgot to bring home her current weight and I shall get that tomorrow to post as I have BHRR's Sugar & BHRR's Spice in at KAH.

BHRR's Lizzy's spay was postponed from Friday to tomorrw – October 2nd, 2012.
 

After two weeks have past post-spay, she shall be ready for adoption as she is just a wonderful wonderful wonderful pup!

Once she learned about sharing, she is having no issues at all.

She is a PYR though! LOL IF she does not want to come and you call her, she will look right at you and do what she wants to do! GOTTA love it!

BHRR's Lizzy fecal came back negative! 🙂

BHRR's Lizzy's bw came back normal so we are full stream ahead for her spay on September 28th!

Just awaiting her fecal results.

BHRR’s Lizzy was at work with me on Monday and I got a weight and examined her, microchipped her, am running a fecal, did a Booster shot, took blood for her pre-surgical and did nails.

She already had her rabies does at the HS prior to her coming to BHRR.

She is too young to do a HWT.

Her weight was a slightly thin 34.5 kgs(75.9 pounds).

She arrived to BHRR on Saturday and has settled in very well. Her BFF is BHRR’s Scarlett!

She reminds me a lot of BHRR’s Holden in look ( not colour!) and stature. She is a stunning dog!!

She has proven to be housebroken for the most part and we have discovered that she likes to rip up blankets…so, nothing unsupervised.

She is being crate trained and having no issues other than that first moment of ‘the stand-off’. Gwennie’s doggie boot camp says we are going to be crate trained and one yummy treat later, in we were and now she races to her crate for feeding and sleep time.

She was a wee bit wary and skittish at first meeting some folks at work yet, warmed up well and her fur is soooooo soft!

The run at the back of the Hospital made her nervous and she would do some soft crying here and there yet; settled down quicker and quicker, the more we were there and saw that I would take her out and be coming back.

Her lungs and heart and everything checked out great and she is scheduled for her spay for September 28th. I want some time for her to get some weight on and to work more on her comfort level.

She is quite the ‘Pyr’! LOL If she did not want to go one way, she would lay down and get that look! LOL It was funny watching people try to bribe and coax her. For me, it was ‘we are doing this and here we go’ and off we would go!

Many, including a wonderful BHRR Volunteer that stopped by commented on how fast she has bonded to me and that really means a lot. Wherever I went, she watched me and wanted to go.

This is an excellent sign. 🙂

By this time in October, she should be ready to be placed up for adoption and is going to make a home an FABU addition!!

I have had no resourcing or other types of issues with her and she remains on the Gwennie boot camp program where the dogs all share water, communal toys and dog beds.

She is learning that her kibble is a high value item and I do not expect her to share that or any high value treat etc.

She is trust and respecting and that works both ways.

I would never set her up for failure and no future adoptive home will either……

Loving having her here! She is low maintenance, playful yet also very mindful of her manners and already sits and gives you a paw.

Her leash manners on the other hand need some work!! Already much better yet; still lots of progress to be made!

On August 30th, I received the following request for assistance:

   "My name is Caroline X, I work for the X Humane Society, on Aug 16 a 9mth old, female, St.Bernard x Great Pyrenees came into our care.  She is a very sweet girl, a favorite amongst the staff, unfortunately during our assessment she showed signs of resource guarding, she was fine with food and toy.  We do not have the facility or staff to help work with her through this.  She is a great, young dog but unfortunately we cannot adopt her here.  I have until Sept 13 to find her a rescue."

In asking for more information, I was told that her assessment was great up until the point when the evaluation just ended and they went to try and take the current rawhide away from her. She did not growl or try to bite, yet; the staff was not comfortable with how she 'looked'.

I said that BHRR would be happy to commit and yet, we would not have a spot until the week of September 15th and this HS was very happy to hold on to her until then. Once she arrives, she shall have plenty of structure and consistency under Gwennie's Doggie Boot camp! 😉

She is unspayed and about 80 pounds of weight at that time.

Below are a couple of photos of this stunning beauty!

She is scheduled to arrive on Saturday September 15th, 2012

NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!
