That little dog stood between me and that dog and won. So, yeah, size doesn't matter. <br /><br />Glad you learned you love Joey.

I recently starting reading blogs again and I found yours again. I'm so glad I did!! Your puppy is absolutely adorable and apparently a real corker for her size!! :) I have been a life long overweight person. Since around 10 years old. I've had a few occasions when I've lost weight but have never been what I would call thin. I had the LAP band put in a couple of years ago and lost a little over twenty lbs. and then we decided to try for a baby. I got pregnant and had the band drained and lived high on the hog for about a year and now I'm at an all-time high of 262 lbs. When I hit 250 I couldn't even comprehend that I had allowed this to happen to myself. Now that I'm over 260 lbs. it's like I'm living in a body that even I don't know how to live in. I've been hibernating in my house all winter with a baby. When I stopped nursing her at 8 months old the weight came on almost instantaneously. I look at pictures of myself now and think how miserable that very heavy girl must be and then I remember that it's me. Does that make sense to you? I've always been happy with my face but now that isn't even something I want to look at too often anymore because it's gotten so puffy. I know this is really long but I guess I wanted just to say hi and to thank you for this blog. I've been reading it a lot and will continue to do so. I've also gone back to the LAP band specialist and had it filled again. I'm still in the process of having it filled to where it should be but he wants to do it gradually so no great weight loss yet but I'm not giving up hope. I just can't be like this for the rest of my life. : )Wendy McDonagh-Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960081613348728607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-59152628259071514522011-05-20T13:39:39.794-07:002011-05-20T13:39:39.794-07:00Wouldn't you know it?!

I have a min pin that is more skittish than a germaphobe in a room full of snot nosed, coughing, sneezing, hacking kids but she will act like she is going to rip another dogs throat out... the bigger they are the fiercer she acts.
