when i moved out with steve i moved home with my parents...they have 2 dogs..1 is an alaskan malmute VERY territorial dog and its just not good to have two male dogs like that together...(not my house so i say whatever makes my parents happy)

sooooo every night i make them some rice with hog jowl and mix it with their dog food and take it out to them....then i sit and make sure lucy gets enough to eat (she gets sidetracked with playing) and then i get up under the tarp and pet and love them then i call calvin and sit out there while i am talking to him so they have my company...usually an hour and a half a night...sometimes more!

i live a high profile dont i!!!!!

its get right cold down here and i have weighed myself AFTER i put on all my layers (1 pair long johns, 2 pair jogging pants, 1 pair corderouys, 1 pair jeans, 2 thermal tops, 1 sweatshirt, 1 fleece, 1 coat, 2 gloves, 1 hat, 1 ear muffs) and my gettup weighs 15 LBS!!!! thats is only if its below 30 degrees though...i LITERALLY look like the little boy from a christmas story who 'cant put his arms down'!!!!! i should take a picture of that someday....

they will be getting to come inside again soon because on 4-1-05 i am moving to wasghington state!

and yes i am in the country! i love it!!!! well not this week my moms dog...nettie mae belle...got into it with a skunk and the skunk got the best of her (sprayed her) soooo it has been a lil stinky lately!!!!

Michelle, a cross-country move, how romantic! If the guy loves your three dogs, he must be a keeper. But will you let all four dogs get on your bed?

I L*O*V*E My Boxer- His name is Gunnar & TODAY is his 9th Birthday. He is really my son for all intensive purposes, I may never be blessed with real children so Gunnar is spoiled rotten. I raised him since he was 61/2 wks old & he got me through 3 deaths(grandparents & dad) & my divorce. Boxers have the BEST expressions & Hands down I think he is the smartest dog in the world. Of course I am the mommy;0)

Shelly Looks like your pooches are having a BLAST! Their yard looks great-We have to go to a park everyday - but My dog just has so much fun I wouldn't miss one time for him.

I think any pet that isn't psychotic is a good pet... We had gotten a pup from my sister --they found the mamma dog after she'd been hit by a car. Anyway, I believe the pup was part coyote, lots of 'em where she lives. We had to put him down because he was vicious, the dog trainer wouldn't even work with him. I love cats too, but I'm too alergic to them.

Happy birthday, Gunnar! He is adorable. I love the devil costume. I just got back from taking my Lab mix Sophie to the beach; she had a wonderful time rolling on the ice drifts (Lake Michigan in February) and frolicking with the other pups. Dogs are the best!

I love my dog, Niko. He is dying of heart disease, but he's getting better medical care than a lot of people do. I won't let him suffer. He's on my mind almost all the time now, and I treasure every moment with him. Crying as I write this.

Where is a picture of Niko? I'll say some prayers tonight Nancy. I know the sadness you feel when your best friend is hurting.

Paula & Zoe thought you might get a kick out of Gunnars' girlfriend. She is Magie & was a butterfly when he was a Hula guy:0)

I know its so silly but the kids in the neighborhood just love seeing what he is from year to year during Halloween. For his Birthday today He got his nails done & a bath- Boy wish I would have been so lucky on mine.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
