Welcome. this is a great place to come and share and even just lurk sometimes. This board has been such a big help to me.  Hayley is cute . Keep us up to date with your process.

Thanks Diana!  Hey, your surgery is coming up real quick.  Can't wait to hear out it goes for you.  Take care! Linda

Welcome! I had to do a 6 month weight loss program too. You will see the time will fly by! You can so do this!!

Hi Linda,  Thank you!   I have a relative (mom's cousin) who lives in Columbus.    Linda

A belated welcome to you!  We have Labs in the family, two chocolate ones who live with my niece and her husband in San Jose, CA.  Our neighbors in the house behind ours has four yellow Labs that I'd probably like more if they weren't so inbred (she breeds dogs) and barked all the time.  Her yard is too small for four big Labs.  It's not the dogs' fault.

Thanks for the welcome, Kix.  Wow, your weight loss is fantastic!   Labs are great family dogs.  That's too bad if your neighbor is inbreeding her dogs.  Four big dogs barking all the time would definitely be annoying.   Linda
