I finally looked to see what she was seeing. I hadn't changed my shoes. My little nurse knew I needed to do that in order to walk as far as she wanted to go.
I have a prescription for a PSD, but I don't know which one I'd designate if I lived where I could only have one. Lily is a good caretaker, but Moira makes me laugh.
Here's Lilygirl. 56 pounds of Siberian/Shiba Inu. I tried to resize the picture, but it came back large. Sorry. She is a little more filled out now, but she looks the same. A pretty girl. Who put her in a dumpster when she a year old?
Oh, well, here's 'Ri baby, too. A very small 34 pound Border Collie/Lab. Such an imp.

My all time favorite snack? A boiled egg. A Dove chocolate. 10 almonds (10 later) A T. of sliced green olives. Prevention magazine says you need olives or almonds or olive oil or dark chocolate every day to flatten your stomach. Can't stand olive oil, but love the others. Trouble is the pounds keep it pudgy, but at least not bloated. Oh, no high fructose corn syrup. That's a tough one to avoid. It's cheaper than sugar so it's in so many things.

Does your brother live nearby?
Yes, I am blessed to live by my brother, we live about 4 miles apart.
I am smaller, but the fluid keeps it from showing up. I now wear a size 24 comfortably, where before I was wearing a 28/30. I can really tell as my bra size is much smaller. My belly collects all the fluid and always looks huge.
My favorite snack is 1/2 cup cottage cheese mixed with 1/2 cup salsa, dip celery sticks and ENJOY EVERY CRUNCH.
Great and satisfying.

Well it's almost Sunday and this is the first chance I've had to check in.
Just caught up on all the posts and you are a chatty bunch. I love it. Xylie I'm up for a good challenge may be just what I need.
Snacks that I like are fresh fruit of all kinds in small portions of course and celery with peanut butter, cheese, nuts, popcorn and dark chocolate
I also like cucumbers in a sour cream dressing made with rice wine salt and pepper.
Love the pics of the four legged people, they are so adorable. Our Jasper is a Sheltie and a handsome boy. I don't have any pics to post right now but I need to get some loaded into the computer so I can show you what a ham he is.
All that are in the storm area be safe and keep to the high ground.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am in control and losing.
