@, I think you should call yourself "catman"!

I like your idea crittermama and went to change my username but Catman is already taken. Thanks for the thoughts though.

Sooooo, what do you think of the new name. It's a little off yours but I think it works.

I have a huge problem with PITA. But just to narrow it down. Any ethical breeder I know who is an advocate for There breed spends most there time helping the rescue. 10 or so years ago PETA decided that we abused dogs by leaving them in crates between classes. So they staged a "demonstration" and released the dogs from there confinement. One dog was hit by a car and killed. I watched an 11 year old girl sobbing while holding her deceased best friend. Totally not the place for this but Zelot's are scary. I would if needed bail if that was my kid or my fur-kid

This is one of the HOT topics that extreme views way in. I don't like it when the innocent are hurt by the actions of someone's careless thoughts. PETA's in you face awareness policy does show though the inhuman way animals are treated throughout many venues. If not for them and other activist, people wouldn't know about the animal factory farming practices for food and apparel, the treatment of show animals, and the depletion of our wildlife, to name a few. For me I can see the good and the bad of what they do.

I 100% agree a hot topic. Thank goodness we don't all have the same views. How boring would that be :0)

I promise not to bring up religion or politics ☺️

@Kindle Those dogs are precious! I had to put my Golden Retriever down this past year, he was 13 too. I have a couple rescue mutts at home and they are rotten.

Dogs are very supportive of WLS. My lab mix Silas sits next to me every morning and encourages me to leave a little of my egg on the plate for him to clean up. They are so thoughtful!

Mine were VERY helpful in helping ease the pain of canceling my membership the "Clean Plate Club". They became founding members of the new "Leave 4 bites....1 For Each Dog Club" (that includes my two dogs, plus my roommate's two dogs)

It took two weeks, but Abraham finally gave in and let Isaac up on the couch. My bed is still off limits, but that's OK, Isaac loves his crate.

Yesterday, I played with my friend's two gorgeous, deliriously happy dogs. They run like the wind! They made me so happy.

(My best friend / beautiful dog died suddenly a month and a half ago, and I'm recovering form her passing.) Dogs, even others' dogs, make so much instant joy!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
