Yes she is a bull terrier.. I call her an English Bull terrier because people hear bull terrier and think pit..how anyone could see her nose and think pit is beyond me..but...

O and laurend for recognizing her as such!

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure! My dad's a vet, btw, so I was always obsessed with animals as a kid (and even now, I guess :nervous). I used to sit and stare at a book of dog breeds and dream about having all the unusual-looking ones. :rolleyes: I always wanted a bull terrier, just because of the snout. Unfortunately, I found out that I'm allergic to dogs (I get hives when they lick me or if I pet them for very long), so I usually stick to cats now. Although, I may break my "no dogs" rule one of these days, if I can get a Great Dane. Love those.

I almost got a great dane last year. They were SOO expensive though, the cheapest in town were $1,200. I think they are gorgeous, that'll be our next dog. DH's parents use to breed boxers, so he felt strongly about our dog being a boxer. I didn't care, was just excited to get a dog. I don't think I ever want a toy breed again, that much I know. I like having a big dog that can wrestle me lol.

I love G Danes, but since Im a student, and only feed high quality food, I cant afford to feed them. Petri is my baby, she is now 9 mnths old and when shes around 3 Im gonna breed her, assuming I find a suitable stud. I drove 8 hrs for her, but got a great deal, 1,000..in houston pups sell for 1200-1500.

I train peoples dogs for them when I have time and I swear I will end up with like 13 or so! haha, seriously though, if you are allergic to dog kisses..and I am sorry for that, you could get a pig!! I had one, a pot bellied pig named waldo, I had to put him down bc of a respiratory infection but for 3 years, he was and to this day has been the best pet ever! He walked on a leash, sat, heeled and laid down with hand signals. He also knew to wipe his feet when he came inside and housetrained himself in 2 days. When it was his bed time, I d tell him to go to bed, and hed oink upstairs to his kennel in my closet bury under the blanket and then close the door. He was also like having a boyfriend..he farted and burped, but he ate my cooking and I never had to fake a headache!!:rolleyes:

He was so much fun, and no they dont stink if you feed them right and they are hypo-allergenic and clean- he loved to take baths- and honestly just flippin cute!

There are two ways:

1. When the pic is uploaded to an online service, click on the little picture icon above the text window where you are entering a reply and enter the url in the message box that comes up.

2. If the pic is only on your computer, click on the little paper-clip and you can upload the picture from your computer as an attachment.

My cats would probably go nuts, I think, if I brought a pig in. But maybe not. One of them isn't even afraid of dogs, so he'd probably make friends very quickly.

my moms cats used to chase him around! Of course my cat I have now also sits on my pet tortise, so I could just have weird cats :rolleyes:
Yeah, I would call that cat weird. Mine likes to try and get my dad's clinic's mascot chihuahua (he talked her neglectful owner out of euthanizing her and got her healthy again) to play with him. Keeps batting at her.

my cat can totally beat that, when my Chi wears clothes..Dont laugh he actually gets cold at like 69 and down!..my cat will wait for him to walk near him and then latches on to him and gets dragged all over the wood floors on his back..looks like fun for him, the only problem is the cat weighs like 10 lbs, the dog 7!

You've GOT to take a picture of that and post it, the next time he does it. One of my old cats LOVED being turned over on his back and being twirled across the floor. Of course, that was the same cat that thought he was a dog and would fetch for hours.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
