Day 124 - Up for Adoption

So we have big news, Gizmo went to the Vets on Friday.. I felt so bad for her cause she did not get to eat breakfast. Mom left for work and took Gizmo with her and I guess she dropped her off at the vets to be spayed.

Mom called later that day to check on her and was told she was just waking up (whew we were worried). I guess her heart murmur is still there and stress induced, during the operation it went to a level 3 which is pretty high. But she made and is doing super well. When Mom brought her home she just went to her bed under the computer and slept. She then went into her kennel when we all went to bed.

I guess she woke Mom up at 3 but would not leave the kennel, Mom was worried that she might start to lick her stitches so literally slept on the floor by her kennel to make sure she was ok.

She also was able to eat some food at 3 AM as well. I think that made her feel better. She had a hard time getting comfortable and was not sleeping well so it was a rough night for Mom, but in the morning everyone was acting more like themselves. Gizmo ate a good breakfast and went outside to do her business.

Mom had to go out for a bit so put a cone of shame on her but we decided in her case it was a Cone of Pride.

She actually wasn't bugging her stitches so Mom has not put the cone on again. By Monday she was back to normal and trying to play with me. Mom put a stop to that though and when we went to the dog park Gizmo had to be on the lead to keep her from running and playing too much. I guess she has to do this for at least a week. That's a hard thing to do when you are a dog.

So now that Gizmo has been spayed she is officially up for adoptions. Check out her profile on the AARCS website and tell all your friends about her. She needs a great home. http://www.albertaanimalrescuecrew.com/profile.php?id=1693&sourcePage=adoptions

She is also getting professional pictures taken on Wednesday. Mom is hopeful that the photographer will give her permission to post a pic or two on the blog. So check back later.

Day 116 - Gizmo Update

Hey Everyone,

Again its been a while but really not much has happened lately.

Tanner and Gizmo were under the weather a bit and had a bad cough. Tanner got it first and went to the vets where they gave him a shot and some medicine. Gizmo started coughing a week later and Mom took her to the vets, they felt she was pretty good and just told Mom to give her steam baths and pound her side to help with the Phlegm.
It was pretty funny as Mom started to take Gizmo into the shower every morning with her. They have a big shower with a seat so Gizmo would just sit and take in the steam.. Mom was super impressed that she just sat there and didn't even try to escape. I tell you, I would not have been so good... cause I don't like baths of any type....

The vet also checked out Gizmo's heart and ......(drum roll here) He could not hear a murmur...yipppeeeee. This means that she will go in for her spay soon and then be up for adoption. That part I don't like, cause we are now BFF's and play lots. I will miss her :( So fingers crossed that everything goes well on Feb 17th.


Hey we had a big party at the house on the weekend. Mom & Dad celebrated Valentines and their engagement. Lots of people came over. I don't really like crowds so I would go back and forth from getting pets to hiding under the end table and just watching. Gizmo though did really well and liked all the people.. and Cooper came to visit as well so they played lots and were happy with all the people around.


Well that's about it for now, here are some pictures of Gizmo. One you can see my nose in it.. I don't know why Mom didn't put me in the picture too... the others are of Gizmo cuddled into the blankets.
