Shelley! Lesa! Denise! Sheri! Kathy! Melissa!

Where are you Shelley.. you are too quiet... How is it going? I just did my 10 week weigh in.. I am down 62 pounds to and even 300 today.. I am excited about it - next time I weigh in I will be under 300 for the first time in 7 years! Woohoooooooo Can't wait! So what is happening with you? Lesa - you are in the 70's those days are just passing by.. you will be going in no time! 2KEWL Denise.. How is the dog? Do you like him? I hope so.. with a little time invested he will be a wondeful pet! Sheri - Hang in there it gets better and better.. have you weighed yet? Kathy - I loved your Halloween puppy pics! WAY too cute! Keep us updated on your progress.. Let us know what your Dr says about your upcoming surgery. Call me if you ever need to talk. Melissa - Do you have a support group you go to in your area? I have a new friend who is in Medford and she is having trouble finding a PCP to give her after care support.. and I would also like to encourage her to attend a support group. Have a great rest of the week girls! I have added my phone number to my profile.. I am here for you guys if you ever need any personal support or just need to talk. I also have free long distance so call me and I will call ya back!

WOOHOO!! I'm so happy for you, CJ! Take an extra walk today, and know when you go to sleep that you're under 300!! I'm proud of you, and of all of us really. It's such an important thing we're all engaged in. Probably the first time any of us have taken care of ourselves first. I have an adorable picture to send you of my Cloud and your puppy. I'll email it to your regular email account (it's coming from my cell phone, so it might have a weird sender name attached to it). As always, let me know when you're up my way. Take care, and congrats again! ~Lesa~

I loved the picture Lesa! I want Cloud so bad... I have my name in for a parti Standard.. When I get one then I will go from there looking for what to cross it to. In the meantime I bought a St.Bernard for walking with.. he is a HUGE baby.. I love him so much he is 9 months old and he wears a pack and carries my phone and water and keys etc.. it is just the ticket.. of course now with the weather getting bad I am not going out every day.. but that is okay with him he is a couch potatoe. I am pretty jazzed about my weight loss these past two weeks.. seems like it had really slowed.. guess I was just doing too much? Weird but there is a delicate balance.. when you get it all together you do the melting trick!

Where in the world did you find a parti Standard??? I want one! Or maybe I'll just take one of the puppies you "create." And next time you come up you have to bring your couch potato! I love big, drooling beasts. I think your theory of delicate balance is interesting; makes sense to me. Glad you figured out the melting trick. I can't wait.

I have a connection .. LOL.. A breeder I have used to get my mini's for making the ****apoos also raises Standards.. she has a parti male and he is in with a female that has genes to throw parti so hopefully she will have parti standards.. my name is on the list should they come through.. if I wanted to I could put the word out and get one somewhere else but she has the best poodles I know of.. I don't know that I want to ship and go through all that either and she is here in Oregon.. Parti's are expensive enough without adding all the extra to get them here.. I know of a few breeders with parti Standards.. there are some in Florida and some in Georgia occasionally.. Lesa Lesa.. I am the DOG lady! LOL.. name it I can find it.. if I can't find it I will just make it.. ie: Cloud-ettes.. my newest line of must have puppies!

I MUST HAVE ONE OF THOSE PUPPIES...and I'm proud to have you call them Cloud-ettes! He is my sweet baby. Keep me posted on the potential birth of my next furbaby!

Hey CJ, can I trade my husband in for one of your puppies?

I will think about that Shelley LOL.. is he cute? How about you take my husband aand I will throw in 10 puppies???

Hey Cj, ---10 weeks and down 62 lbs that is sooo great. Your energy level must be way up --- Lucky is doing very well, loves Gaby and the cats & knows a few tricks (when he wants). ---83 days and counting down... ---My daughter wants to visit your s. Shes animal lover. Do you have any monkeys? ~Denise~

I sold the Mare with the baby they are picking them up Saturday.. that puts me down to 2 horses.. and I still have 2 monkeys.. but I have them advertised as well.. hopefully they will sell.. But I plan on getting a mini or two next spring so your daughter will love that! Nothing cuter than a mini horse.. especially babies.. maybe I will get a Stallion and a mare and do those for awhile.. no money in them any more but did you ever see a cuter lawnmower??
