Lesa?!

Where has my Lesa gone??

I'm right here, CJ. I've been silent, having nothing to report...just waiting my turn, and trying to be patient. So many emotions right now I'm a bit overwhelmed. Not scared of the surgery at all; just wondering what my face will look like, how people will treat me if I'm not fat, wondering why they treated me badly when I was/am fat. Thankfully, I've got a great therapist who is now going to be working with WLS post-ops on these exact issues (her specialty before this was diabetics, so she's basically following me around!). Thanks for looking for me...I hope things are great with you, you little shrinky dink. Any plans to come up to Portland this month? I'd love to get together again. I'd even come down to your zoo, if it's easier. Let me know what your schedule looks like this month. -me

Hey Lesa, Cj If you gals get together can I tag along I would love to get out of the house!!!!!!!!!? Talked to Dr. A he was so great about my date! ~Denise~

I will make a point of it... I want to see you before you go for sure. Not much going on here on my end.. just wonderin' about ya.. I know what you are going through and as cliche' as it is to say this.. it is all normal.. we all go through it on some level.. it doesn't help I know.. but it is part of the ride. Part of me was in an emotional uproar and part of me was in a weird state of denial everything was surreal. I think I will advertise something in the paper next weekend and see if I can head North. I have a few leftover puppers that need to go... and a bird too.. so maybe I will toss them out there and see what happens.

Lesa baby! I miss you so much! Lets get together soon! Denise....are you still going to curves...I'd love to actually go with you this time Take care everyone! ~Shelley~

Hey Shelley, I too miss Lesa!!!! I am still going to curves, cant go for two more weeks cause of my knees. I have been getting shots to bring the swelling down and increase movment. Hurts like heck.Any time after the holidays would be great. ~Denise~

CJ: Weird...your reply came up as if it were from someone named Andrew Black out of California. The internet...amazing and strange. What kind of pups you got left? I've got a friend that just put one of her dogs down, and she has threatened to steal Cloud (take a number). I told her about your skill at puppy blending, and she might be interested. And Shelley: sorry I've been "missing." Just being over-reactive and emotional.

If your friend wants a BIG dog like Cloud we have the Saint..not really looking to place him.. kids would KILL me.. but I am terribly allergic to him which I did not know before I got him...I don't mind doing the treatments but if I ran across the perfect home for him I would consider it an option... He is the sweetest biggest ding-a-ling you'd ever wanna meet ... I also have a crested- poodle mix female.. will be small and a Lhasa- poodle mix male will be medium... The current batch is Tibetan Terriers.. knock out ones too... advertising them in CA they don't go well here to expensive for our economy. Then I have Wheaten Scotties due any day.. THRILLED with that!! I love scotties!! Precious ****apoos due in about a week or so too.. I may throw the TT's in for a round in Portland just for Christmas.. I will be shocked if I get any calls! If I do though I will head your way! That would be fun!!

Hi, CJ! First, congrats on the never-again-to-be-seen 85 pound loss!!! You go girl. I've got only 36 more days until my surgery, and I'm growing impatient. But time should start flying through the holiday season. I've printed your email about all the dog choices and will get a copy to my friend. She's a dog freak too, and she'll probably want to come down there to check them all out...I'm dying to see the Wheaten Scotties! Email me your mailing address privately ([email protected]). I want to send you something.
