Oh noooooo! The fangs are out!!! 🦇

It’s the spookiest day of the year, and not because it’s Halloween with Poutine, it’s because we are only $338 closer to paying off $9960.73 ☠️

WE NEED A MIRACLE 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

Let me repeat, we need a miracle at this rate.

I have run out of time to pay for all our overdue expenses. We will not have any food for the rescue come Wednesday next week.

Barking Good is open today until 4pm, they don’t reopen until Wednesday next week at 10am.

Somehow we need to find close to $6k just to pay off that bill within 3.5hours.

Please please, if 402 people donated $26 each we’d be paid off in full.

🕸️🕷️We cannot afford the basics, we just really need a miracle right now 🙏🏼

PLEASE DONATE $26 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

TRIGGER WARNING (just at the start)

I actually made this video yesterday and just had it in my drafts on TikTok. Yesterday in Australia it was October 27th, and in Mexico, traditionally people make an ofrenda (remembrance altar) as it’s believed that our beloved animals return home in spirit.

Apparently it’s particularly meaningful when your animal was rescued.

My whole home is a shrine to my babies, I have their photos, their collars, leashes and even food bowls still out. But last night I lit as many candles as I could, I have so many returning home to me 💔

Día de los Mu***os de la Mascota

Oct 27th, I’ll see you in my dreams tonight my babies 🤍🤍

I have some very sad news… baby Piquìn has gained her wings and gently passed away.

Unfortunately I was extremely guarded in her prognosis when she arrived into my care on Wednesday last week. I honestly did not think she’d make it through the night.

But she did, and with immediate hydrocephalus protocol started, there were a few days where she surprised us all and seemed like an almost normal 8 week old chihuahua puppy.

For a few days she trilled and snarled at Poutine if she was was sitting on her, she yapped at me when she was hungry, she ran to me for little cuddles, she wagged her tail, she followed Evelyn around and she even got to get her paws on some grass.

I had hoped that this was the corner she needed to turn.

But then over night on Saturday her seizures started again. And by yesterday she was having prolonged seizures that I was worried I’d have to give her her wings myself.

I was finally able to give her some Diazepam rectally which stopped the seizures immediately and gave her some respite.

At that point I was able to also give her a high dose of pain relief.

But then the seizures started back up again and I repeated as above.

Sadly, this second time she did not recover and she drifted off into forever sleep.

What I will say is that she had been tube fed, she was in the incubator with extra oxygen flowing through, and she was on good pain relief.

Sadly, Piquìn arrived into rescue care with the wonderful Tiny Tails Chihuahua Rescue Australia Inc far too late. And subsequently far too late into my care.

When a puppy is already having seizures as a result of hydrocephalus, in my experience it’s almost impossible for them to survive.

I wanted to thank again, Tiny Tails Chihuahua Rescue Australia Inc for entrusting Life of Pikelet with this little bundle of fluff. Often rescues don’t reach out to other rescues because of some sort of ego or politics, and it’s a damn shame.

At the end of the day, it’s all about the animals and what they need. And I’m so grateful that both our rescues were able to move forward and work together prioritizing Piquìn first and foremost.

If you would like to sponsor Piquìn’s cremation, please reach out to either rescue 🤍

TWO WHOLE YEARS since your heart stopped beating.

I don’t even have the words to articulate how I feel about this.

Every morning when I wake up I think of you and your brother Patty, and every night I still tell you both I love you and we’ll be together one day again.

Just a dog. Just an ordinary pound puppy.

They say we don’t always get the dog we want, but rather, we get the dog we need. I guess I really needed you Pikey, gosh, how lucky we were to have found each other.

I’ve been very unwell, sick for days and still extremely under the weather. I had planned to get together a video to honor you, to honor our new cheeseburger day tradition. But alas, I just don’t have the energy right now. Your brothers and sisters, old and new, have all had their Pikey cheesys.

Missing you will forever be apart of my being.

When I tell you that this lil chi is spicy, I mean she is flamin’hawt S P I C Y 🌶️

Just had her first bath and she yapped the whole time as if the nice warm water was acid 🫠

Being a long haired chihuahua means Piquìn has eternal fluffy pants on, and now that she’s got her appetite from her hydro meds kicking in, her pants are getting hella messy with p**p.

So I foresee many-a baths in the future!

Listen up Mother Puppers!

The artist formerly known as “Blaze of Glory” now goes by her street name (aka her traditional Life of Pikelet name)

PIQUÌN💘

What’s in a name? Well names are all about identifying an individual right? But in many cultures a name can also indicate who your family is, what your heritage is, even what part of the world you’re from.

Since May 2013, all dogs (and cats) that have come into care with LoP, they have all been bestowed a name starting with “P” that is either food or drink related.

Sure, there have been some exceptions like with all the spinster sisters having old biddy names. Or like Sherlock & Watson who were adult dogs and knew their names already and it felt like too much upheaval to change them.

And then you might be thinking “what about Punk the pig or Pillow the pig or Pompadour the goat or Poodle the lamb or even Pony the deer?”.

Again, they are the exceptions because I never wanted to name any animal that humans view as part of our food chain an edible name. It just felt like poor form and tbh I knew every smartarse would come alone and say “oh look it’s bacon, or lamb chops” etc.

Our “P” food or drink related naming of pups & dogs alike, has sort of become our *brand*, people used to know straight away if a dog was a LoP dog!

So what’s so special about “PIQUÌN”?

Piquìns are a Mexican spicy chilli… and this little chi chi is a breed that originates from Mexico and in all transparency, she is both neuro-spicy and personality spicy 😂

So moving forward this lil lady will be known as:

PIQUÌN Blaze of Glory

We wanted to keep her Tiny Tails Chihuahua Rescue Australia Inc name as her middle name, it’s important to us that her legacy of two rescues working together is always remembered.

I have started Piquìn on the medical protocol I always use for hydrocephalus dogs. The good news is that in the slim chance she doesn’t have hydro, these meds will not have impacted her health poorly anyway.

And with the new protocol, Piquìn’s appetite has already improved and she is finally also allowing me to top her up with tube feeds. My goal is to get as much weight on her as possible.
