Wow, Katla-you look amazing! Love your cute doggie too! Well, really bad news regarding my FIL. He has a tumor in humorous, (his arm broke very suddenly), and a spot showed up on lung x-ray. He is going for a scan tomorrow, and biopsy early next week. We are all shocked and worried, but hope maybe something can be done to…

Hi Everyone, Meg-So glad Benny is better, and congrats on his little ''pup'', lol!!! Sylvia-Sorry you went through that horrible first marriage, but am happy you found your prince! I dug out my jeans for first time in a while. I normally wear yoga style pants since I am at the gym a lot and spend my day working with…

Happy Sunday, All! Another gorgeous day. We are getting spoiled. I did hear colder weather is moving in later this week, ugh. Why is fall so darn short? I just adore the leaves changing colors, the crisp mornings & warm afternoons, and the fresh apples. We are celebrating here in the Boston area. Red Sox are going to the…

Good Morning, This is day three of gorgeous weather here in New England. The leaves are almost past peak but still so beautiful. The local apple orchards are still going strong. This is the first year I have not had any cider donuts. It was tough walking by the shed where they were making them, but if I eat the first one-I…

Hi Everyone, Just poking my head in for a quick hello. Haven't been here in a while, and trying to be better about it. Thanks again for all your kind words when I lost my Ryder. I'm doing better. Trying to eat healthier and get my exercise in. I've been super busy with my pet sitting business. I'm going to try and catch up…

Thank you all so much for your sweet words and comfort. I'm having a better day today, and starting to reach out instead of isolate-which is what I tend to do when I'm down. This is such a wonderful group of fabulous women! I hope to those who are struggling, better days come soon. Feels good to log my food again. Makes me…

Wow, I feel like you all reached out and hugged me. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much your kind words have lifted my spirits. I am thinking tomorrow will be a much better day. Again, thank you all so much!!! Critter Sue ♥

Oops, Joyce-we posted at same time! Thank you for your kind words. I am sorry about your beloved Buddy. So hard... We actually have three more dogs that were rescues-and six cats! Yes, Ryder in my picture. He was the Alpha, but also the comedian... S.

Grandmallie, Thank you for your kind and supportive words. It really touched me that you reached out to me. I haven't been so down in quite a while. I know I need to make the effort to reach out, eat right, and get back to burning some calories-even with my bad knee. I'm going to try and pop in more often. Hoping to catch…

Hi Everyone, I haven't posted or checked in for a few weeks. I had totally stopped logging my food, and pretty much stopped caring about it. We lost our wonderful dog, Ryder, two weeks ago. He had been sick for a while, and we had to let him go onto his next journey. I have been VERY depressed. I am starting back up today…

Thanks so much, Brooke! The pumpkin smoothie sounds awesome! Critter Sue :wink:

I'm still looking for yummy smoothie recipes. Anyone have one??? Critter Sue:smile:

Hi Ladies, Haven't checked in for a few days. I fell off the wagon over weekend due to some pancakes that wouldn't stop calling my name! I'm not going to lie, they tasted fabulous! I didn't love the bloated feeling after, however. Back on track this week, including the gym. Ryder did well over the weekend. He goes into…

Thanks to all of you sweet ladies who took the time to wish my Ryder positive thoughts. He is having a good day today, so that means I am also. Just got streaky blonde highlights, and painted my nails a pale light blue. I think my mid-life crisis has started... Went to gym this morning, but had to take it easy due to a…

Hi Everyone, Been busy with my jobs. Finally I'll get some rest when it slows down in the fall. Gorgeous day today. Spending as much time as I can with my wonderful 14 year old whippet, Ryder. He is in congestive heart failure. Still having more good days than bad. I will cherish this time with him... Fell off track on…

Hi Ladies, Cooler here, so I spent last few days weeding the waterfall that leads to my koi pond. Looks great, but my back is screaming at me now! Have my friend's dogs here for two days, so current count is six dogs and five cats. Yup, the circus is in town! Did 45 minutes of circuit training this morning. My trainer took…

Hello, ladies! "TRAMPLED ON THE BED BY MY NAKED SON"... That got my attention, lol! Funny & creepy at same time! Glad you were not hurt! Enjoying the cooler weather. Spent morning weeding my waterfall that leads to the koi pond. We have about 70 fish. Some eat from my hand! Sitting there lowers my blood pressure, so…

Thank you to all who have given me comfort regarding my ''I'm going to die at fifty just like Mom'' situation. I see there are others who have had the same fear. Any new and strange pain or discomfort makes my anxiety level explode. It is so nice to have the wonderful support here! Welcome to everyone new. You will love…

Oh my gosh-I want to eat that adorable baby kitty above! Soooo cute! Got a call from doctor today that my chest x-ray looked fine, whew! I was very impressed that they called on a Saturday. She knew I was extremely anxious. So next apt will be with the gastro. Part of the reason I have extra anxiety is that in Feb. I…

Hello, Ladies! Checking in again. Temperature today is 102 degrees! For New England, that is very rare thankfully! It truly feels like someone is trying to smother you with a pillow when you have to venture outside. Storms due tomorrow, and cooler weather moving in finally... Back from the doctor. They took chest x-ray to…

Hello Again, Ladies! I'm taking a break from my ''funk'' to stop in and say hi. JB-your gardens are amazing! You can tell how much love and care was put into creating them. My gardens are burnt from the heat-except for the devoted daylilies. Sadly my gardens come last. I need to water and feed my furry friends first!…

Hi All, Haven't been chatty, been in a funk. Just wanted to say hi and get back into a routine. Barbie-that lavender picture is lovely! Ours is blooming too, and smells fabulous when you walk by it. Hope everyone is doing well... Critter Sue:wink:

Good Morning, Hope those who celebrate had a great 4th. I am relieved it is over. It was sad seeing some of my doggie clients so distraught from the fireworks. Today is a new day, and they all seem to be back to themselves again. I am SO thrilled to hear the wonderful news about Mariah!!! :love: Hot, hot, hot here. I will…

PS-Fingers crossed for sweet Mariah!

Good Morning, and Happy 4th! I literally started the day off with a bang. Got up early A.M. to use bathroom and smacked my forehead on corner of wall. I saw my own fireworks! Big bump and a headache today... My day will be filled with visiting my critter clients, going to a parade, then tonight medicating the dogs that are…

Just checking in to say a quick hello and to welcome all the new people here! :smile: Hope everyone has a great 4th! My dogs DO NOT enjoy that night... Critter Sue

PS-Thinking of you, Amanda! Hoping you'll be back up on your feet again soon!

Good Morning! Happy Canada Day! Just a quick post because I have doggie & kitty clients awaiting my arrival! Jb-Glad to hear the great update on Mariah. Prayers that there will be even more good news soon... Brooke-I am also fluent in those same three languages! Feeling so sad for those nineteen brave firefighters who lost…

Happy Birthday, Grandmallie! Glad you are having a nice day... Still hot and muggy here in New England. Feels more like the tropics. Thunderstorms are predicted later. My dogs are not acting funny yet, so I guess it won't be for a bit. Busy week coming up with my pet sitting business. The 4th is tough, I have to medicate…

PS-Michele, just saw your post! Glad you were able to give kitty his diabetes shot! It should get easier! :happy:
