@, I think you should call yourself "catman"!

I like your idea crittermama and went to change my username but Catman is already taken. Thanks for the thoughts though.

Sooooo, what do you think of the new name. It's a little off yours but I think it works.

I have a huge problem with PITA. But just to narrow it down. Any ethical breeder I know who is an advocate for There breed spends most there time helping the rescue. 10 or so years ago PETA decided that we abused dogs by leaving them in crates between classes. So they staged a "demonstration" and released the dogs from there confinement. One dog was hit by a car and killed. I watched an 11 year old girl sobbing while holding her deceased best friend. Totally not the place for this but Zelot's are scary. I would if needed bail if that was my kid or my fur-kid

This is one of the HOT topics that extreme views way in. I don't like it when the innocent are hurt by the actions of someone's careless thoughts. PETA's in you face awareness policy does show though the inhuman way animals are treated throughout many venues. If not for them and other activist, people wouldn't know about the animal factory farming practices for food and apparel, the treatment of show animals, and the depletion of our wildlife, to name a few. For me I can see the good and the bad of what they do.

I 100% agree a hot topic. Thank goodness we don't all have the same views. How boring would that be :0)

I promise not to bring up religion or politics ☺️

@Kindle Those dogs are precious! I had to put my Golden Retriever down this past year, he was 13 too. I have a couple rescue mutts at home and they are rotten.

Dogs are very supportive of WLS. My lab mix Silas sits next to me every morning and encourages me to leave a little of my egg on the plate for him to clean up. They are so thoughtful!

Mine were VERY helpful in helping ease the pain of canceling my membership the "Clean Plate Club". They became founding members of the new "Leave 4 bites....1 For Each Dog Club" (that includes my two dogs, plus my roommate's two dogs)

It took two weeks, but Abraham finally gave in and let Isaac up on the couch. My bed is still off limits, but that's OK, Isaac loves his crate.

Yesterday, I played with my friend's two gorgeous, deliriously happy dogs. They run like the wind! They made me so happy.

(My best friend / beautiful dog died suddenly a month and a half ago, and I'm recovering form her passing.) Dogs, even others' dogs, make so much instant joy!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
