Nice loss, @shewhoismany!
Today is our Gotcha Day for Ollie. I volunteer with Schnauzer Love Rescue to foster Miniature Schnauzers who have been surrendered until they find their forever home. Ollie came to us from a lady who had lost her husband and had to move here to live with her son and his family. Their home was not large enough for her and her four dogs and one cat so she gave him up so he could have a better home. The day we got him he was a little mop of a guy and seriously needed grooming and dental care.
We had him groomed right away, made plans for dental work (had to have many teeth removed), and began to help him adjust to a calmer home life. In a couple of weeks, a lady expressed interest in him and we met her at a park to see if he might be a good fit for their home. They decided they wanted to adopt him and took him home. I was sad but didn't cry for I believed they would be good for him. Well, within 24 hours they called back and let us know that he wouldn't work out for them. To be honest, I wasn't sad she brought him back. LOL!
We then scheduled his dental work and I nursed him back to health and helped him adjust to having fewer teeth in his mouth. During this time I began to really bond with him and my husband and I began to talk about adopting him ourselves. Well, we made it final and he became a permanent part of our family. We've had some great adventures this past year and look forward to many more years with this little pumpkin head. We love him dearly and are so thankful he came into our lives.

@BonnieHosk85 Mini Schnauzers are da bomb! My brother has one (Raven is actually my sinister-in-law's baby girl but my brother thinks she is his) and we had one (Mandy) and then litters as kids. Mandy was the smartest dog I have ever known. Still miss her after all these years.1

@flourchild225, thank you for staying!! This is a tough month to lose. It's hard. We're here for you!!
@MMMonk, I'm so glad you posted! We didn't have a week 1 for you and you would have been rolled off the challenge if you didn't weigh in this week.
@shewhoismany, Ollie's our third Schnauzer. Love the breed! To be honest, I hope we're called to foster a second one soon. We had two while the boys were growing up and I loved it!
@Keepingtrack1234, nice loss! Have a great weekend!

I'm so late posting. I was so embarrassed by my weight gain and then community wasn't working for me and I almost didn't post it but I am here. It's been a rough go this month. Hopefully I can get back on track!3 -

We still the following team members to report for Week 2:
@MrsRosie111
@SuzanneElizabeth16
@MayaVDM
@TheeSunShine75
@elisepfliger04
@mygoal1993
As two of our members said earlier this week, and I have actually thought as well, it is hard to stay in the challenge when we have experienced a rough week or two and have seen a gain. We've all thought it and felt it. But, when we stay and work through it, we ended up experiencing better weeks. This team has the most dedicated folks I've ever "not" met! This is hard work. We experience the best highs and the lowest lows, but we keep on. We have to for our own good health. So, if you're considering dropping out, please don't. Stay with us and keep working on your health. Start where you are right now and climb back up on that wagon. The next few weeks are going to be extremely challenging but not impossible to navigate. We can do this together! We need each other!

It's been a very sad and stressful week. My close friend is in the hospital (12 days now) and near the end of his life. It's so hard to see him in the condition he's in. I sat with him for a couple of hours yesterday morning and a couple of times I thought we were losing him. His breathing goes from very deep, labored breathing to then stopping for a few seconds. It's scary and most likely a sign that it won't be very long. Sure do love that guy!
