Grizz sounds smart enough to respond to multiple names. Justice does- he thinks he is also Freddy because I often ask "Ready Freddy?" before we go out. Also Bob because DS calls him Bob Barker LOL.
Sounds like there may be times when you have a full bed!

Absolutely! Lucky comes up on the bed with me every night. Then once I'm asleep he jumps off and sleeps on the floor. Lovey, the French Bulldog, sleeps on the bed half under the covers between Ron and me every single night. She is the ost spoiled dog I have ever lived with! Bug also loves being on the bed in the morning if she's allowed. She will jump up, curl up against whoever is still in bed and nap until that person gets up. Once Grizz grows up, I have no doubts he'll be a bed dog! LOL!
Oh, and Ron won't call him Grizz. Ron likes the name Bear better. Poor puppy is going to have identity issues!
Your goal and my DH's are pretty much the same. He was disappointed to be up .4 today vs being down the 2 he wanted. We talked about stalls and he says he knows he needs to just "stay the course".
Just out of curiosity do any dogs ever end up sleeping on the bed? None of my previous dogs did but Justice is a different story :)

201 again. Yay!!!!
I'm loving my little puppy. He's one of the easiest puppies I've raised. When I first met him on Saturday I thought, "Oh boy, this isn't going to be easy! He's sooooo busy!" I felt pretty much the same Sunday morning. But boy was I wrong. Yes, he's busy, busy, busy, but he's also smart as a whip. Tell him something once and it sticks! He is already going to to the door to be let out if he needs to potty. DANG! And unlike his big "sister" Bug, he is quiet as a mouse in his crate all night long! I do think he loves his big Airedale sized crate.
Lots and lots of treats at school today because they had a volunteer appreciation tea this morning. So. Many. Sweets... My kind, too. PASTRIES! I've maintained a modicum of control. I did have some delicious cinnamon coffee cake. 100% worth the calories.
I am staying highly motivated to get the last pound plus off so that I can go to Europe at under 200 pounds.
My lowest weight as a young adult was 163 pounds when I was 25 or 26. Post VSG it was 170. I do not wish to be either of those weights again. LOL! My ultimate goal is to float between 185 and 188 with a top of 190. But for right now, under 200 is the goal. Anything after that is icing on the cake.
Still seeming to have a lot of trouble focusing on things I must accomplish. Perhaps it is just too much going on all at once. Oh, well... It is what it is.
Happy Hump Day...
Yeah, my phone kinda serves many purposes, news, entertainment, social, research, even my Bible studying! I don'****ch much tv unless we watch a show together in the evening.

My DH does not game (nor do I) but he is on his phone a lot reading stuff. I read books a lot.

126.3, going back down. I have to admit that I much prefer being on the low end of my range vs. the higher end. The food noise has definitely increased, especially as it pertains to wanting to snack on both sweet and salty things. Reintroducing them back into my diet because I was losing too much weight is the culprit. I need to be more mindful of how I allocate my maintenance calories.
Today is filled with Bible study, readying for the Art Fair, Jane Fonda step aerobics and warming up leftover Schwarma for dinner.
So far DH isn?t driving me too crazy being home all the time. We are definitely on different schedules though. The other night he was gaming until midnight and this morning he was at Home Depot at 6 am and then has been napping since mid morning. I do get frustrated with the amount of time he spends on gaming but it isn?t really much different than me scrolling on my phone which frustrates him!

I thought you were already living there?

I wish I knew! I can't get into my router (the a/v people control it), but there was something not set right on it that they changed that was supposed to fix it, but it didn't. Others have said it's an Apple issue and the handoff feature between devices messes with it, but turning that off didn't fix it. Another guy said the phone is trying to grab onto a cell signal and so it flips mid call to the cell tower, then loses the signal, hence the breaking up. So who knows. Whatever it is, it drives me insane. It must have also maddened the previous owners because they had an expensive booster system put in, but that doesn't help either. Given the topography, not every neighbor has the same issue. So it's hard to problem solve. My friend I had problems with and my board buddy have trouble too, but my immediate next door neighbor has great coverage (just enough clear of the rise blocking me).
OMG - the poor dove.
I didn't see your response to Ann at first. I guess Wifi calling doesn't work? I have to use that in my home (Verizon). I wonder why it doesn't work there?
