I have 2 kitties. Azriel looks kind of like Eugene that was posted above. She's a little priss sometimes. The other is FuzzButt. She's black and fluffy. :)

Zoe,

She is adorable. Labradors are such lovely dogs - but feisty as well aren't they?Are you for real about the pineapple hat?

Hope all is well,

Rachel.

Gunnar and Maggie are a cute couple! Here's a picture of my Sophie dressed up as a super-sized order of fries. I'm not sure this picture will show her off; it's hard to photograph black dogs. Now if only I could find that shot of her Carmen Mirandog costume, complete with pineapple headgear. . .

Oh, yes, Rachel, Sophie was Carmen Mirandog. I went totally off the deep end for a local dog park's Halloween costume contest a couple of years ago and made a little green satin skirt and a styrofoam hat glued with plastic fruit and a real pineapple top at the very tip. Unfortunately I am not a good engineer, so I didn't figure out how to keep the hat from toppling over; when it came time for the big presentation (can't really call it a catwalk!), I had to lean over and grab the top of the pineapple as we paraded past the judges. The dog had way too much dignity to put up with the outfit for long. She shook off the headgear at the first opportunity and took a bite out of the plastic banana! But she did win a big box of doggie Cookies for the effort. Next time I'll just get her a black bow tie and tell people she's wearing a tuxedo.

Post a picture of your big dog sometime. It's fun to see everyone's fur babies!

Here's pics of my little Princess. I got her at the San Diego Humane Society - actually she picked me. She's wonderful company and loves to snuggle up with me when I read. biggrin.gif

Very cute! (And I'm not even a cat person.) Good for you for rescuing her. Sometimes our "rescue" animals are doing us a bigger favor than we do them.

Thanks - she is a super sweet cat. She runs to the door to greet me when I come home from work and loves to sleep on me during the night. I always get my pets from the Humane Society and I never go there unless I'm prepared to bring a new addition to the family home tho - I can't leave empty handed!

He sure is a cutie- do you still have him?? Has he gotten better?

No, I had to put him down. The final staw was waking up with my chin in his jaws and him growling at me. It wasn't an easy decsion, but one that had to be made.

I'd love to put some pics of Dodge up Zoe, but I don't have a digital camera or scanner, and wouldn't know how to use them if I did.

We don't really Celebrate Halloween here (australia) - it sounds and looks like lots of fun.

I'm glad to hear she rebelled against the costume - earning her feisty reputation.

Take care,

Rachel.

Blossom, I totally understand about avoiding this thread because you miss your babies. I was doing the same thing. The love of my life, Niko, died 10 days ago. But now I'm back because today I am getting a new dog. I surprised myself by wanting a dog so soon, but I guess Niko had been sick for so long (over a year) that I did a lot of grieving and getting ready even before he died. The new dog is a rescued poodle. I'm naming her Annika. I'm so excited!

Nancy, I had read your post about Niko's death and it truely broke my heart. How wonderful that you are getting a new dog!!! I can hardly wait to get one! But, we are going to wait until we get the new house built and the land fenced in. We just feel getting one before we get these major projects done wouldn't be fair to the dog. Meanwhile, we are watching all the dog shows and petting every puppy we come across! I wish you the best of luck with your new companion!!!

      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.
