ok - who said Shih Tzu's aren't smart? We've had an Irish Setter, golden retriever, blue tick, 3 labs, chesapeak bay retriever and 2 shih tzus, each one was a lovable sweetie BUT my shih tzus are by far the smartest! They can retrieve with the best of the big dogs, do tricks just as well and they eat alot less! They are also just as good at mousing as a cat and guarding the house as any of the big dogs. I've often said if a thief came to my house the big dogs would wag their tails and say come on in and the little girls would bark, growl and threaten to attack if they dare come in the house. And the personality! Gigi - thats Queen Gigi - is the typical I rule the house and Sandee is the love you love you love anything for you mom - I take them to the groomer - a saint with clippers - and they come out with bows, Gigi says get this damn thing out of my hair, within an hour its gone. Sandee says are you sure you like it? Its bugging me but if you like it I'll wear it, as long as you like it, ok I'll keep it in. It stays in her hair for weeks.

* Excerpts from a Cat's Diary*

Day 983 of my captivity...

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the

other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations

perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me

going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into

their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending

comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the

duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was

due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as

he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is

regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird has got to be

an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move.

My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now...

Horses!! But, not just any horses....I love the miniature horses!! So cute and cuddly. I have 2 of my own and horsey sitting another one for the summer. I just may not let the owner take her home, I may have to keep her!! LOL

I also love my doggie...he's a Wire Fox Terrier (or Wire Fox Terrorist, as my husband calls him...lol) He's such an energetic, and yappy little thing...he buries his doggie bones in my plants, and under the cushions of the couch...but I wouldnt have it any other way!!

      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.
