Who keeps/gets the pup will be determined by its show potential at 8-12 weeks. If it's a really good one and it's a girl, it will stay here. If it's a really good one and a boy, I'll have to think about it.

121.2. Liz gave her .4 to me and I don't want it! Strange because I didn't eat that much yesterday because of the tooth extraction.

Went to the art fair in Downtown Fort Myers today. It was really nice! Didn't buy anything but did find a little art gallery that I may send samples of my work to. I bet it is hard getting in there!

We ate lunch downtown and had the best lobster rolls! Served warm with oodles of butter. If I don't lose the .4 lbs Liz gave, it will be well deserved!

Sunning by the pool right now! Temp is actually 78 and beautiful!

Tomorrow is a class for newcomers at church at 9:30 and then our regular service at 11:00. 55 plus Bible study has resumed I guess but is canceled tomorrow night for the superbowl. I won'****ch it but perhaps DH will!

DH flys out first thing Monday morning for 6 days in WI. SDD will be getting a cochlear implant and has asked for help during her recovery. I have yet to drive down here yet! Guess I'll get my practice soon enough!

Sorry for the lone pup necessitating a C section! That does sound expensive! Who will keep the one pup?

Congrats on going downward again!

I didn't know any of that, Peps. So much more disappointing than just the "one" aspect!

I don't like bats either! Hope between your Dad and Claudia, a through exam of the feet was given!

201.9 Headed in the right direction at least. Luckily, I had decent session with my NUT. I find that accountability helpful. It's also great to speak with someone who truly understands the weirdness of eating disorders and how the eating disorder can infiltrate so many levels of thinking processes. My life is so much easier on the food/weight front being able to live harmoniously with the eating disorder rather than fighting against it all the time.

I had a good pity party and tantrum yesterday over the ultrasound results. I was feeling better by the evening. It was hard messaging hopeful puppy people telling them there would be no puppies available. So you all know, when a large dog has a single puppy it's a given c section. A single puppy will generally not generate enough hormone production to trigger labor. In the old days before ultra sound single pups often died in utero, fully developed ready to be born because mama never went into labor. The expense of this single pup will be prohibitive. When all is said and done, I estimate that bringing the pup into the world will be upwards of $7K. That would not be an issue with even a litter of 3 or 4. I could break even, which is always my hope. Oh well, it is what it is.

Not much else going on. Ordered Dad a new walker which I will assemble and deliver today. Also, will go take pics of the Brussels Griffon pups today. It's time to choose which puppy Aunty Kathryn will keep.

Hope everyone enjoys their Saturday!
