Monday Roll Call

Monica, try and get Mike to come with and talk with my DH. He had his surgery with Peter Rantis and he can answer a lot of questions for him.

Chris

Oh good, I'm pretty sure he'll come with, but that might help me ensure it.  lol thanks Chris!

I'm here !!! I'm here!!!!! Good morning IL Board,  I had a great weekend!   Took all 3 dogs for a mile walk yesterday, so I got in some exercise. Back to work tonight....ugh! I'm looking forward to Sunday, too.....Now that I've met some of you at the Walk, I can't wait to meet more IL folks! Have a great day!! Paula

Hi Paula - Good to hear you "moved" yesterday.  Wow, walking all three dogs must be a chore.  So you work nights?  I hear your body never gets used to that shift.   Hope you have a great day and I look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

Christina

:) Yep, I work the overnight shift...9:30pm to 6am.  It's true about never getting used to the hours, especially since I try to "convert" back to normal sleeping on my days off. No big deal walking all three dogs, since they are all about the same size as Copper, whom you met at Saturday.  They get into a groove walking and stay next to me.........they're great company on walks.   take care

Hey Paula!  3 dogs for a walk all by yourself?  what kind of dogs do you have?  I have 3 White Shepherds and have yet to attempt to take all 3 by myself!  lol  I'm glad that you got to walk though.  When I feel better I am going to start doing more walking too.

Hi Monica, Oh I have little dogs.....2 papillons and a 14 lb chihuahua/terrier mix.  I dont' know if I would be able to walk 3 larger dogs, but I guess it can be done. (aka Dog Whisperer).  Wow....I bet your 3 dogs are really stunning....white shepherds sound beautiful !!!  (I get to meet some of the police dogs at work, but they are the more common coloring).  I hope you feel better soon...the dogs make great walking companions.  My little guy, Copper has lost a couple pounds (he's just 10 lbs now) since I've been more active...so everyone benefits from it. :smile: Are you able to make it next Sunday for the Meet N Greet?  Paula 

Paula, yes I will be at the meet and greet and I am hoping that my hubby comes with too.  He needs to see the success stories...LOL (my cousin failed with WLS) I will try to post some pics of my puppers on my page, if not I'll bring some pictures next weekend! 

Good Morning all, I have been busy,busy,busy!! I have my ex mother-in-law's funeral to go to near Detroit plus homecoming is this weekend. On top of everything, I just got my surgery date...yay!!! November 5 is my big day!!! I will be back and forth to Northwestern U. the next couple of weeks. Loser's bench here I come!!!!

Hi Melissa - I sent you a pm ealier this morning.  Sorry to hear about your ex mother in law.  With sad news came good news.  I'm so excited for your upcoming big day.  That is fantastic! Hang in there, I know life is crazy for you right now. HUGS, Christina
