I too am worried about your weight. And keep us posted on Belle. I have a Belle, too, a red and white setter. Note that I can often post short and sweet as I have bad pain in my hands. So you all know, I am 62, still work, am married, have two sons, a step daughter, and four grandchildren; the 15 year old son of my step daughter lives with me and his grandfather. This same step daughter has DID and BPD, so we all have lots of challenges.
I just thought I'd tell you all a little bit about me...
