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!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
