Hey, it's Lola. Great to see you girl. I'll look for you in other rooms.

Glad to be back and catching up with reading previous posts. Been gone a day or two or three or four or more...and heeeeeeeere's Dolly! She's such an exhibitionist, isn't she? You had to put Trixie to sleep?

Hi, Dots. Ann and Dennis are supposed to have arrived yesterday. Looking forward to meeting them on the weekend.

You don't have to answer that, JJ. Not if it'll make you cry. I've just come across Sandpiper's post on Rembrandt and yours on Trixie. I am so, so sorry, JJ. She was'nt mine but, I'll miss Trixie as well.

That Ann and Dnennis are absolutely amazing. Please give them a hug for us. Take a photo and post it if you will...

Holy Cow! What an angel! jawjaw she is a cute as they make 'em.
I love the 4 names! My cousin gave her dog 3 names and it tickled my funnybone! Hello Dolly! You're a beautiful baby!!!

Chatty,
I'm giving Xena that vegetable, ground beef mix you suggested
a long time ago. She loves it. And the veggies help fill her
up. The lady doc. says Xena ought to cut back 10 pounds. I'm
trying. But it's hard. She has lost 3 lbs. though.

Good luck jj, keeping Dolly trim; those "Dolly" girls are round
and firm and fully packed, ya know!

As Dolly Parton would say, "Its takes a lot of money to look this cheap!"

Jabber the same as with us girls, Xena needs exercise besides a diet. Take her walking and even a short run and low and behold you both will benefit.

When keeping a foster dog that is FAT, I feed them differently, The diet I told you about but I feed them three times a day, smaller amounts, and it really helps. Also find some 'natural made' doggy biscuits and use them as a part of the diet too...

If you can't find any let me know and I will send you some.

Chatty,
Xena walks a minimum of 2 1/2 miles a day; somedays she walks and/or runs 5 miles. Linda can verify that. Xena is worse than a two-year-old toddler. She has more energy than the energizer bunny. I'm feeding her Proplan Weight Management dog food. And I've cut back on the treats. She's holding steady. And she isn't fat. But she just can't gain. I think the doctor is afraid she'll gain. We're working at it. She's a beautiful gal.
Chats, Xena gets ONLY naturally made chews, already!
Jawjaw,
I love dolly. I went into Pet Smart to get Xena's Christmas
Presents (toys) and a young man was pushing a boy dog, which looked like your Dolly, around the store in a shopping cart.
He let me play for several minutes with that puppy. I wanted
to take that animal with me. SOOOOOOO CUUUUUTE..

I have been around dogs all of my life and remember, I'm old, ha!!! Anyhow, I love them all, big, small, fat, thin, mean or friendly. But let me say to you all:

I have NEVER seen a puppy that wasn't cute. NEVER!!!

No matter the breed, all puppies are just so adorable. I would own them all if I could. I know JJ is out of town for the holiday and was wondering if she took Dolly along. How cool to have a new pet to share the holidays with.

I missed that: JJ went out of town? I didn't know that. No wonder
she didn't PM me back. Wouldn't it be fun to take a puppy on
a holiday trip! Gosh does that conjure up some wild pictures!

I wanted to delete a post but it said it was too late to do that so I will just erase what I wrote and sing a little tune, la, la, la, la, la, and a kiss for all is right with the world! Now I am going out searching for some fudge for Christmas.
