First, I want to say I'm sorry for
the delay in posting an update for Daisy. Daisy was a bit under the
weather and I wanted to find out exactly what was wrong with her before
I posted anything.
Since my last update Daisy has been spayed and healed beautifully. BAR
had her checked out by my vet and on that visit it was then discovered
that Daisy has a liver condition (sorry, I don’t know the clinical
name). At that time a blood test was done and it determined that Daisy’s
liver levels were way off (which explained why she was loosing weight),
so my wonderful vet then decided to put Daisy on a liver enzyme pill
that she gets every morning 30-45 minutes before she eats her morning
meal. She now eats Science Diet l/d formula (dry) and takes her enzyme
every day and she has regained her weight back and I’m so very exited to
say that her liver levels are all in normal
range once again!!! Hurray for Daisy!!! Dr. G (my vet) wants her to
continue on the food and enzyme and Ms Daisy will need to be retested in
about 4-6 months (if I remember right) and there is a possibility that
she’ll be able to come off the enzyme eventually.
Now that Daisy is feeling better more of her personality is emerging.
She is not as submissive as I thought she was going to be, she is a bit
on the witchy side with my two resident boxers. She tends to push my
female around, she tried to push my male but he’d have no part in it.
There are no fights she just gives it a try every now and then to see if
they have changed their mind and perhaps she can be boss now. Luckily my
female is very submissive and doesn’t really care what Daisy does, she
just shrugs it off and goes on about her business.
As far as a good home for this girl, I think someone that is home more
than away would be better for her. Right now she is hardly ever home
with no human around. If she is it’s only for a few hours once or twice
a week. When she is home alone she is gated with my other female in our
kitchen, and there is no damage or messes. She sleeps in the kitchen at
night in a big boxer mound with the other two and there have been no
problems as well. One thing you do have to remember is you need to take
her outside the minute she is done eating or she’ll leave you a
‘present’ on the floor! You know what they say…out with the old in with
the new! She needs more leash work as well; she seems to think it needs
to be done her way. With her not feeling well and the nasty weather it’s
been hard to work on but I work on it with her when I can. She will
relax and follow your lead but you need to be firm and just keep going
no matter what she tries to do, then she’ll follow your lead after a few
minutes. She is jumpy around traffic but with work I think she’ll learn
to relax, she needs to have someone who is confident with a leash and
their abilities. She also needs to have a raised water bowl. With her
huge under bite if she gulps the water down she has a tendency to throw
it back up, nothing huge and it only happens if she's gulping the water
to fast. I've noticed that the raised water bowl helps her.
Daisy is a real love, everyone who meets her falls in love with her.
People stop me all the time to get a better look at her with her two
different colored eyes and her huge under bite she's quite a site. She’s
a big love who just wants to be someone’s best friend and snuggle buddy.
If Daisy sounds like the dog for you, just fill out that application and
lets get her to your door!! She’s waiting with hugs an kisses for you!!!

Time for a Daisy Doodles update!
Daisy is getting along great with everyone from the four legged
critters to the two legged ones. She continues to come out of her shell,
she will bark when she hears someone at the door but stops as soon as
you let them into the house. She's still a bit shy and gets spooked
easily but as soon as she figures out it's not going to hurt her she
overcomes and continues on her merry little way.
As you can tell by her pictures she's a goofy girl. She sleeps with her
tongue hanging out most of the times which is a total crack-up when you
see it. She is always making us laugh, especially the way her bottom two
canines stick out over her upper lip it is so cute!! You can't help but
fall in love with this little girl. She is a little girl, only weighing
about 45 pounds. I'll get a better weight on her when she goes to the
vet at the end of the month for her spay. Daisy is waiting to give you
boxer wiggles and hugs, so fill out those applications!!!

Please give a warm BAR welcome to
my latest foster, Ms. "Daisy Doodles"! Well her names is Daisy and for
some reason we've been calling her Daisy Doodles and it's stuck with
her. She is a goofy girl with boundless energy. Daisy gets along well
with my resident boxers Mina and Spencer and the resident cat. She needs
some work on commands and leash training. We'll work on this while she's
here with us. Daisy sleeps in a crate in our bedroom, she wasn't crate
trained when she first come to us but she sleeps in there all night
without complaining. Getting her into the crate is a little work but
she's getting the hang of it. She started sleeping in the crate because
she was coming out of heat and I needed to keep her in a contained
area so she didn't make a mess throughout the house. During the day
Daisy Doodles spends her time gated in the kitchen with my boxer babies.
I take care of kids in my home during the week days and three boxers
running around is a bit much to deal with when your only 2 years old.
Daisy does great with the two year old that's here during the day. She
gives him lots of kisses....sometimes more than poor Kyle handle.
Daisy is ready and waiting for her forever home. If you feel your heart
is ready for boxer wiggles and kisses then Daisy Doodles is the girl for
you!! Please keep your eyes open, Daisy Doodles pictures will be
arriving in a day or two.....Remember...get those applications
in...Daisy is waiting to love into your life!
