yeah, i've already spoken to the surgeon 2x.
he was with me on keeping her here-- she was not happy (or sweet) at the hospital. do vet techs really need all ten fingers? i think not.

i just feel bad for her.

she did however, wake from her stupor long enough to tell me that if the balance beam scale at the other gym has me at 241 as well, then i should use that as my official weight. what a supportive baby.

You have to love pups! Unconditional love and loyalty!

i can't go to the gym tonight because i don't want to leave lilly alone-- and i keep thinking about my routine obsessively. it's crazy. it's probably a good thing since i want it to be a lifelong habit. ...but i don't feel right-- i don't feel balanced-- when i don't work out.

puppy is still leaking pee like there's no tomorrow, but she stopped vomiting. i love her so. she really is a huge part of my life.

it's funny, but some of the people i'm dating know about the situation because they either read my blog or had to be told to cancel my dates this weekend. the ones who understood, emphathized, encouraged or showed supprt are keepers (well, as much as i'm keeping anyone).

the ones who were "whatever" about it... or (yikes) said it was just a dog... well, they won't be getting any calls.

Oh, that one's a total killer for me, too. I think that would actually even end a friendship if someone said that. Even if you're not a huge dog lover, you should be able to understand someone who is. I mean, I had a friend who was all broken up over her pet rat. Rats aren't my thing, but I cared because I knew SHE cared.

Love me, love my dogs (but my dogs better not love YOU too much because I want to be No. 1 for them).

Alex,
I wouldn't be calling those people back either! Unempathetic responses like those you mentioned in your above post speaks volumes about what kind of people they really are on many levels. Their loss... not yours! Hope the "baby" is doing better today.

Alex,
How's "miz lilly" doing and how are you doing? Hope all is well!

it's gonna be a rough 6 weeks.
hopefully, she'll feel better in the next few days, but she isn't a happy puppy right now. the only good thing is that she only has to be in her crate until the sedative kicks in. after that, she just stays as close to me as possible (which allows me to take her cone off).

Yikes, she looks a little pissed....I can just hear her saying, MOM this is not a good time, BACK OFF!

hehe

alpha femme · by **alpha femme** » September 21st, 2006, 9:19 pm

she's not pissed, but i can see where it would look like that.
she puts her little ears back when her feelings are hurt or she is in pain.
that's her "help me, mommy" look.
when she's pissed, there are teeth involved.

she's napping right now. i think i'll try to sneak out to the gym tonight.
puppy and i can't figure out why i'm not losing more weight since we are both being so good. hell, after transition, i could eat 2,000 calories a day and maintain this weight-- and that's a lot of in-n-out, baby.

Serendipity · by **Serendipity** » September 22nd, 2006, 5:13 am

Alex,

Stress can inhibit weight loss......and uh, you've been under a bit of that lately with Miss Lily. When things calm down with her, I bet you'll see a good change.

kmr · by **kmr** » September 22nd, 2006, 5:46 am

"Poor baby"...she's so cute. I noticed the little cast. I think she'll be fine, having such a great "mommy" to take care of her.

alpha femme · by **alpha femme** » September 22nd, 2006, 11:09 am

well, i didn't get to the gym last night;
puppy was having some... gastrointestinal issues.

it's funny, though... we finally got to sleep around 5am, and when i woke up at 10, she was using my legs as a hammock. her little back leg "cast" was straight up in the air and over her face-- and her face was draped over my ankles. this is actually a good sign, because we used to sleep like this in our old home. i'm kind of hoping that by the time her leg has healed she will have forgotten about her old life. it's been really hard on her. lots of changes.

in the meantime, i feel so unhealthy and huge when i don't workout. :weightlift:

i realize that my weight is the same, regardless, but i feel like a porpoise.
then again, i used to feel like a whale. :dooh:

on a completely different subject,
when the hell would this emoticon
ever come into play? :puke:

I got carried away, ate a whole chicken and just wish I could ...?
