BHRR's Sugar has been ADOPTED!!! Amazing how paths can re-cross so many years later and I am very happy for the home and BHRR's Sugar!

At one point I leaned down and whispered to her that she has such a great future ahead of her, thanked her for her bravery and trust over the journey we took together and that I would miss her YET I shall always be a part of her and vice versa……told her that s

he was such a special gift and shall be continually cherished…..

I did not take a photo and ugh for that yet, she has canine plus feline family members and kids to call her own as well as her new parents! 🙂

Her journey shall continue with her new family with their understanding plus patience.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

BHRR's Sugar's home visit has been scheduled for Friday November 30th! We shall update as we can.

She has continued to put on weight and come out of her shell. She was naturally overwhelmed at our recent BHRR 'EXPERIENCE' Mini Open House this past Saturday yet did SOOOOOOOOOO much better than she did at our September Dinner event.

Continued patience and time is going to show all how much of a wee charmer and kisser she can be! 🙂

In preparation in having to do some emergency fundraising for BHRR's Autumn's ever growing mounting bills that shall include having several surgeries, we are going to be offering up  a small  BHRR's Autumn's EMERGENCY Online Auction

Auction details and how to bid can be found HERE – ITEMS can be added at any time – so, please check back!

Starts 6:00 AM EST on Monday October 29th, 2012
Ends 10:00 PM EST on Monday November 5th, 2012
 

NOTE: BHRR's Autumn's EMERGENCY ONLINE AUCTION does not replace our 5th ANNUAL 'JUST IN TIME FOR XMAS' ONLINE Auction to commence on Saturday November 24th, 2012!

From Friday October 19th to Sunday November 4th inclusive, BHRR will not be open for adoptions or the intake of adoption applications.

We do not adopt out around the Halloween season and many others Rescues, shelters, pounds etc. have also begun to follow a similar protocol.

We do not believe it is in the best interest of the animals in our program, especially for dark coloured dogs.

During this time, BHRR is available 24/7 as always for requests for assistance of animals in need.

BHRR's Sugar is NOW AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! YOU GO GIRL! 🙂

She is going to need a home that is going to continue to work on her social skills outside of the home and leash manners. The leash can still worry her at times.

She can be an only dog or in a home with at least one other right matched personality fit dog.

She is completely housebroken and loves her crate to still eat in plus sleep in at night. 🙂

We are still awaiting the pathology on BHRR's Spice's ovary. Will update ASAP. She and BHRR's Sugar are recovering from their spays very well!

BHRR's Sugar & BHRR's Spice are having their spays today.

Unfortunatetely, we are unable to also do BHRR's Spice's bilateral cherry eyes for upon further investigation into what she requires, it is more complicated than originally thought by the Vet doing the spays.

Therefore, once she is recovered from her spay, about 10-14 days, we shall do her cherry eyes.

Once BHRR's Sugar recovers from her own spay, she shall be pretty much ready to be placed up for adoption. She is still quite shy, yet, doing so much better.

Both have continued to just bloom at BHRR and with the continued patience, consistency, time, positive reinforcement and structure plus obedience in their new homes(may their new homes find them sooner rather than later!) they are going to be super assets to home and community! 🙂

BHRR’s Sugar & BHRR’s Spice had their vet visits tonight.

BHRR’s Sugar was 15.3 KGs(33.66 pounds) & BHRR’s Spice was 16.4 KGs(36.08 pounds). Both were microchipped and received their DAPP + Rabies vaccines AND had their presurgical bw done.

It has been confirmed that BHRR’s Spice does have bilateral cherry eyes and the one Vet felt that waiting until she is 1 would be a more successful option for her than doing this surgery now. I shall also see what the Vet who is doing her spay also feels. If the surgery is best to wait and BHRR’s Spice is still with us at one year of age, we shall do the surgery then. Should she be adopted, BHRR will pay for her surgery at KAH to be done as that is our Vet Hospital of choice.

Once I added the benadrly to BHRR’s Spice regime, she was feeling so much better……so whatever allegen it was, it seems to have dissipated and she is back to her regular ‘imp’ self at home – the evidence is in the chewed cords to Sean’s laptop, our telephone and one computer…..all were not plugged in at that time…….so safe for her…not fun for us!

BHRR’s Sugar was much more outgoing and active than her sister at the Vets. Her leash manners are better too. She does not like doorways though.

I did BHRR’s Sugar’s nails and just touched up BHRR’s Spice’s nails.

Their spays have been moved up to October 11th so that we have the best chance of avoiding a heat and the Vet did not feel that waiting two weeks post vaccines was necessary.

Both showed impeccable manners with sitting and when I let them off their leashes, tails were up and wagging and BHRR’s Spice was Ms. Explorer while BHRR’s Sugar much preferred to lay or sit near me.

Will try to get more photos to post of them both. 🙂

I had scheduled BHRR's Sugar and BHRR's Spice's Vet appointment for boosters, microchipping, bw for spaying etc. for October 3rd at 6:50 PM yet, with all that BHRR's Spice is going on and that she shall have to be on antibiotics for at least 7 days, I am going to hold off on her boosters and just bring in BHRR's Sugar and have the BHRR's Spice use this time as a recheck. Maybe, she shall be well enough, maybe not.

I have scheduled both of their spays for October 18th, 2012 at this time.

UPDATE: Monday September 24th, 2012:

BHRR's Spice thinks stairs are optional, why use them when she has super powers in her mind and can fly! (roll eyes)….THANK goodness they are just the few steps going to and out of the house…

AND, oh, small holes, no matter how small is where noses, necks and half our bodies should belong in….

In less than 12 hours, I have greyed up significantly…and there shall be NO collars around her neck(I like to use them for training and unless someone is watching her nonstop)….they make great 'hanging' and 'choking' devices as she likes to rub herself on things like the fireplace tools and then gets caught…

I am glad I am touching up my grey/white hairs on Friday…I am going to need them!

I think Kinsley had some kind of ESP moment BEFORE I even picked them up! :)- HOLY! Are these names bang on!


Breakfast on the patio on Monday & BHRR's Sugar


Having their first exploration adventure at BHRR & BHRR's Spice – Monday

They both had a TON of burrs in their fur. Both are a body score of about 3/4 out of 10.

They both began their deworming protocol on Sunday and both were put on Revolution.

My one observation about BHRR's Spice:

In less than 12 hours of having her, she has tried to 'hurt, kill or maim' herself three times! She is not a for the faint of heart person AT ALL!

UPDATE SUNDAY September 23rd, AM:

the pick up of the two Newf pups has been rescheduled to tonight and shall post photos for name suggestions as I shall then also know their sex.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

UPDATE SUNDAY September 23rd, EVENING:

I have the two babies! I was given two females. They are Newf/Bernerx and while there were some more giant looking; I asked and took the two most in need.

Therefore, two 'wee' females are with myself and Mason. We have a bonded pair, similar to BHRR's Rose & BHRR's Petal.

We are told they are around five months, yet; their teeth are indicating somewhat older – 6 months or so. 🙂

They shall need names and my daughter suggests 'Sugar & Spice' and ideas from all the wonderful name gurus on the board would be awesome!

They are black with white and are SUPER SUPER tiny!

Welcome to BHRR little lovelies!!!
