==========================

My name is Joy, and my good friend Karen Milatz is a mom to 2 beautiful Vizsla’s. Karen was up north in the mid-Michigan area of Whittemore on Sunday morning (June 21), and the youngest Vizsla - “Kayla” - wandered off. She is still missing and Karen’s family (including Kayla’s sister Cedar) is devastated. I’m wondering if there is a lost Vizsla rescue number or someone we can notify when there is a lost Vizsla? Please let me know…. They have posted her picture, notified the police and animal shelters. She’s also wearing a collar with Karen’s cell number. If there is any help or information you can provide, we would be so grateful.

Thank you so much in advance.

Whiskey Is A Vizsla Not A Beverage

Check out the adventures of Whiskey The Vizsla .... and you were thinking alcoholic beverage. Shame on you.

JJ, Duke and a human Monkey

Give a vizsla shout out to JJ and his new blind buddy Duke. JJ is a real trooper and has a lot of reponsibility since Duke can't see to well. JJ and Duke are doing a really good job training their human. They refer to him as "their monkey". These guys are funny. Check'em out.

Vizsla Rescue Atlanta Needs Help

Vizsla Rescue of Atlanta is trying to raise money for Hudson’s surgery. The estimated cost to repair his leg is $2600. The club raised $370 bathing dogs and has had several generous donations by individuals, but they are only half way to their goal.

If you would like to contribute, please go to: http://www.AtlantaVizsla.org/VCMA_HudsonFund.htm

Hudson is scheduled for surgery on June 11th. He and Hunter are being fostered separately, and both are doing well.

You can donate securely via PayPal at the link at www.AtlantaVizsla.org

Thanks for helping!

It's All Fun & Games Until Someone Gets Hurt

Here is what happens when you have two vizslas full of the crazies running full tilt across the yard playing tug with a toy. The picnic table got in the way. I was doing Poo Patrol in the back yard and I heard the thump. I turned to see my Dancin' Dame doing a triple 360 across the turf but she got back on her paws and kept going so I didn't think much of it .... until ...... they ran past me and I saw this big bloody spot on her side.

Upon close inspection, she must have hit the blunt edge of the picnic table seat. She lacerated the first layer of skin to the muscle. Of course it was 6:30 p.m. so we had to make a trip to the emergency vet clinic. Thank goodness it's not far from our house.

They were very kind at the e-vet. She got her wound irrigated/flushed for debris, five staples and an anti-biotic to ensure against infections as well as instructions for no running/jumping/wrestling for 10 days ............... they're insane on that last instruction. We returned home after paying the bill for $206.00. JOY! Upon returning home, Delilah was intensly sniffed by her brother. He wanted to know where every hair of her had been.

We wanted to give the wound a day to heal/dry so we took only Rocket to daycare the following day. Delilah was very befuddled as to why she was being left behind that morning. I had to coax her back into the house with extra treats. She was bummin. But at least without Rocket at home there would be no unsupervised wrestling, running, jumping.

Delilah didn't let five staples keep her from having fun. We had to go back a few days later and have three of the staples removed and reset as the wound had ripped open ..... sigh ..... kidz ..... what ya gonna do?

As you can see from the picture above she's doing just fine. You can still see the square patch where they shaved her hair. It's taking forever to grow as long as the other hairs. She's for sure going to have a scare and a war story to tell the boys.

Hey Rocket you want a piece of this?

zoiks! what was that flash?

She did it! HA! HA! You're busted Delilah

V is for Vortex

A few weeks ago mom's reliable but old Dirt Devil gave her a pretty good electric jolt. So she decided it was time to purchase a new vortex machine to suck up the dirt that we vizsla's drag into the house. This is her new aquisition by Bissell.

This is what the vortex sucked up from just the bedroom.
Mom is pretty happy with this machine. After a few weeks of use she can tell there's less dust around the house.

Vizsla Mud Puppies

We went to the park and had LOTS of fun. The prior 4 days it had rained, rained and rained some more so we had a ball splashing in the cologne/perfume puddles. We smelled and looked spectacular by the time we left. Mom just shook her head and made some snyd comment about having a large blanket covering the rear of the truck.
GASP! We got home and mom marched us right upstairs on a tight leash and started running warm clean water in the bath tub! ZOIKS! She washed off all the good smelling stuff! I can't believe she did such a thing. We worked so hard to smell so good. Most of the cologne/perfume went down the drain.

We both tried to escape the horror of the tub, clean water and shampoo but ..... sigh ....... mom out smarted us and closed the bathroom door. We were trapped .... and doomed to be clean.

Mom didn't escape unscathed. We gave her a pretty good soaking. This picture doesn't do justice. Her socks were drenched and mom hates wet socks.

It was all too much! We had to take a nap. Here I am in my bed. Rocket decided he needed more room and stretched out on the day bed so I took his bolster too. Mom went to the fridge and popped the top on a Parrot Bay and grabbed the remote control and watched some dumb show called Rescue Me and fell asleep on the couch .... alone .... serves her right for what she did to us.

Vizsla Sleeping Arrangements

Mom: WHAT THE $$@#%#$ HAPPENED TO THESE BEDS?
We don't know mom. We are as confused as you. Maybe it was wild gophers that came in thru the doggie door.
Mom: Isn't it your job to protect the house while we are away? I wanted to at least save the bolster part. The rest of the bed was too tore up to save.

They'll have to make due with a mattess and some blankets until other arrangements can be made. GGGGRRRRR!!!! I know some day I'll laugh about this ..... just not today.
