GBEAR~ Yeah. Welcome to the other side. Glad everything went smoothly!

Sunshine and Gbear!

Welcome Welcome Welcome!

There is plenty of room on the Loser's Bench for everyone!

Remember with the Loser's Bench, the all of the Loser's are losing, so our formerly larger sized hiney's continue to get smaller and smaller -- thus making room for all of the newbies! Who in turn will start their journeys -- and they will soon be making room for all the others to join us!

(I know, I'm a goof!)

The only thing you have to watch out for on the Bench is Shelbi! She tends to poke and pinch and tease the ones who sit next to her! She means well, it's her way of welcoming you! BUT don't worry, she's been on her best behavior lately and she hasn't poked Mini once! Right Mini?

I'm about to get in the shower to head out the door to pick up Bella (don't you all love her new name?)

If you believe in a higher power, please say a prayer -- for a blessing on her today during her surgery. When I know someone is being banded, I offer a prayer on their behalf and for Dr. K.

Hugs to the Newbies! Hugs to the Oldies!

Love to you all,

dee~

Lotza and GBear-Congratulations!!!!!:confused::thumbup::thumbup:

Bella-I know you won't see this before your surgery, but good luck and know that I am thinking about you. You are in good hands with Dr.K, and of course, Miss Dee!!

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I got up early so that I can have my coffee before 9:00 a.m. Dr. K said I should drink it so I won't go through caffeine withdrawals.

Dee will be picking us up around 11:00. She has been great.

Sunshine and GBear: So glad all went well. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery and a healthy journey.

Hey Brandy! How are you? How is FIL?

Well everyone, we went and met the potential furry friend . . .but it didn't work out. Keeley kept trying to say hi and the other doggie bit her. Hard. Twice!! Keeley hid behind me and was really scared. It was obviously not the right fit. Oh well, we'll just keep looking . . .

Hi Everyone,

Before I drift off to dream, I wanted to let you all know that Bella is banded and doing well.

Her Sweet Daughter, Kasie and I spent a very long day together. And little Bella did very well. We finally got to the hotel around 640 this evening. Kasie and I had some errands to run - so we hit the Target and the Safeway.

Bella, is so fortunate, she has an absolutely lovely little daughter. She's smart and thoughtful and funny. We both were so pleased to get Dr. K's call when the surgery was completed and Bella was in recovery. It was a long day and I pray they are resting well tonight.

I have to say, it was such a blessing for me to have been given the opportunity to meet Bella and Kasie. God gave me a gift in granting me new friendships today and in keeping Bella safe and protected during surgery.

Sleep Sweet Banditos,

Love,

dee~
