Hi all,

I have no idea if I posted the picture right.

I own a service dog training company (BuckeyeServiceDogs.com, for the curious).  Today, i was out with some of my clients, trainers, and dogs.  "Star" in the picture, is a 2.5 year old lab, great dane mix.  She's awesome, and weighs 115 lbs!

The "Wow" in this picture is the blazer I am wearing.  Right before I had surgery in 2009, I went to the thrift store and saw this cute Coldwater Creek blazer, size Petite Large (I was wearing 3x).  I could not even get my arm in one sleeve!

Today, I wore it for the first time.  It was not snug at all and easily buttons.  Yay!  Just as good, I walked around the mall for three hours with the dogs, and felt GREAT the whole time! 

So, right now I'm in size 12 pants and, size L or sometimes M shirts. 

Thanks to all of you for the great encouragment you've given me in the last two years.  Four pounds to go, baby!  LOL!!!

Love the jacket, you look great, but I must gush over the dog!  She is beautiful, and what an intelligent face!

 You look great! And Star is beautiful too. I have a 110 lb dog that looks like 170 because he has looong hair that sticks straight out, and think it's fun to walk a dog that strangers all think is bigger than I am. It's so important for these big ones to be well mannered.

I think it's great that you train service dogs. It's a real benefit to those that need them, and the dogs that need a second chance.

You look wonderful Girlfriend!
