Mama says I'm fat!!

Sooooo I'm here....and I'm almost 17 pounds. What happened to me!?!? Mama calls me fatty all the time!
Right now I'm 16.8 pounds. I need some major life changes!!
Mom has cut my food and she's going to try to walk me more.
I'll update in a week to let you all know if I'm any thinner!!

Uh-oh! Mom's bored again!

With mom's many nights of insomnia, she gets a bit bored...so now she's looking up our horoscopes.

She found a site called doghoroscopes.com

Mine says:
"You are independent and have great perseverance.
In a quiet modest way you carry out your plans, relying on your own good judgment.
You can quickly assess people and circumstances.
Guard against tendencies to worry.
It is possible you may encounter a pull between your strong yearning for love and affection and your need for security.
Fun-loving and a good companion, you require a steadfast love from your family.
Those born in January, February, April, July and September know you best.
A special year is in store for you."

With age I've developed a lot of independence. Mom says sometimes she misses the days when I "needed her." Yeah, I carry out my many plans...like bouncing at mom to go potty outside, which usually carries out in her taking me...bouncing at mom for food, which usually ends in me getting a bowl of food...bouncing at mom to pick me up...which ends in kisses. Mom knows every one of my bounces. Quickly judging character is my best quality, mom says it is also my biggest downfall...she might like the person, but I know better. Mom says I like the most important people though, so that's good. I do worry, I worry that strangers might come into my territory, that's why I have to bark like a ''mad dog.'' I really am a fun girl and I love my family though, so that's right too. Since mama was born in April, it would be completely fair to say that she knows me the best, I mean, she is my best mama.

I guess I'm a Leo - The Lion!
My Ruling Planet is the Sun...whatever that means...I like to lay in the sun...
My Most Desirable Qualities are Aggressiveness (which mom would not agree is a good quality) and being Dramatic (which mom and dad agree, is a funny quality).
My Talent would be Acting, which is great because I am so good at getting what I want, I MUST have skills.
My Physical Characteristics are that I have a well-proportioned body with slender legs and a graceful walk (what are these people psychic?!?! - Mom loves my little trot and my "deer legs.")
My lucky day is a Sunday...which is nice, I love those Sunday's...they are nice and lazy most times.

Leo is the sign of the ruler or commander you are also known as "The King of Dogs." (How funny!!! I'm a min pin and we are known as the King of Toys!!!)
A courageous watchdog you can be fierce if necessary, but if truth be told you like children and are mischievous (oh man, couldn't be more RIGHT! I love my mama's little sister, she's 5 and a BLAST!). As long as you feel secure in your kingdom you will not run off and join the circus - although you are a natural born comedian who enjoys entertaining (I would never run off, I love my family too much, BELLA on the other hand is a naughty girl...but about the comedian...*ugh-um* I dont mean to brag...but I'm pretty funny).
A great home lover, affectionate and carefree you hate routine. Life always finds you under someone's foot as you try to help fix everything.
Restrain your enthusiasm more! Try not to lick the dinner plates before they get to the dishwasher (awww man, but I love the leftovers!!).
You and the vet have an on-going battle and if he/she is not nearing retirement they will wish that they were. Your howling and dramatics often empties the waiting room and puts your name "last of the day" on the reservations list (well I'm not THAT bad, but I dont really like having my TEMP. taken or needles stuck in part of my body!! I mean, who does?!?).
You are delicately built and know it and are proud (I really am...I'm built like a baby deer). Your best mate, according to the stars would be one born between November 22 and December 21 (hmmmm).
Your ruling planet is the sun (which is the center of the solar system) this explains your need to be the center of attention (haha, me?!?!). Therefore, when you think you have been left at home for too long, you may take matters into your own paws! Oh, this is not good, but they will think twice before they leave you again. Next time you will either go along or they will find a pal to keep you company.
Don't be so afraid of thunder or lightning (oh, I'm not, mom has taught me that it's a great thing to lay in bed to!). Sun bathe on beautiful mornings (I will, trust me!!).
You have moods or moments when you will hide somewhere to be alone (yeah, like under the covers or in one of my bed...). There are times when you probably can be found taking a little walk by yourself. While these moods don't last long, just remember, you occasionally make loud, lonely, frightening sounds and frighten others! (Mom agrees)
Your lucky number is 5 and your favorite colors are royal blue and orange.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH BY GEORGE ELIOT:
"We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults. Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment."

S-P-A-Y?!?!

On May 17th mama took me to the VET! She said I was getting FIXED! I had NO IDEA what that meant....but she put me up in one of the kennels and LEFT me there!!! Can you believe that?!? Before I knew it I was asleep...then I woke up and didn't feel so good...I woke up with a big long OWEY!!!! I was NOT pleased!!! Mama called over to the vet later that day and the girl there said "Come get your baby, she's NOT happy here...she hates it." Mom rushed right over to pick me up...I slept the ENTIRE day.
Mom is soooo impressed....so far my attitude has really changed, she said I've been so much nicer to the guests, she's really proud of me and hopes I stay this way. Also, I was REALLY getting overweight and my glad was really inflamed. The day after my surgery mom and dad noticed that my neck looked SO much better!! Mom's wondering if maybe my hormones weren't affecting my salivary gland problem. My weight has gone down A LOT!!! Mom is SOOOOO happy about that. I'm starting to look like I did "pre-baby" which is great. My appetite isn't so huge anymore. I wanted to walk, so mom took me on a short one a few days after my surgery, with Bella...then a few days later I got a long one again with Leila. Mom is very pleased with the outcome of my surgery and hopes the changes are permanent. She said that now, this summer, Leila and Bella need to get fixed and Apollo has to get declawed (he's not nice with them).
Till next time loves!!!
Libby

Mom and Dad left on May 11th with my little Delilah, they were gone for A REALLY LONG TIME! When they came back home Daddy came in the house and put Bella and Leila in their beds....then mom came in, she looked like she had been crying...she had a new bed and LOTS of treats for me!!

Leaving mom and dad

Friday, May 11th I went for a long car trip with mom and dad. Mom kept talking about a new sister named Suna...I was a little confused. I got to the park and got out of the car and this pretty woman came running up to me, mom said "do you want to hold her?" THEN SHE TOOK ME! I was a little hesitant, but mom said it was ok. Then a big dog barked at me, mom said it was Suna, my new sister. Suna came out and we played in the grass, everyone laughed at us. Later mom had my new mom walk me in the parking lot and they both laughed at how funny I am =)
Mom had my bone and I went to jump for it, but I lost my balance and when I came down I smacked my little noggin really hard, I screamed like mom's never heard me scream before, she picked me up and rocked me and told me I would be ok. It was awful. Mom took my big bin of toys out and dad put them in the other car...confusing?!?! Then mom went to the car, but she didn't take me with, I cried and stared at her, which made it harder for mom...sorry mom, I just loved you a lot and wasn't sure why you weren't taking me back in your car. My new mom, dad and sister took me in their car and we went to my new home.
Licks and wags ,)~
Delilah

After giving Delilah to her new family, my fiancee and I got in our car and immediately started crying. We had to pull over in the next parking lot of the park because we were crying so hard. Suffering from panic attacks, it was hard for me to get a breath....needless to say, I had to have Arron (my fiancee) pull over again down the road to try to get ahold of myself, thank god I wasn't driving. This was the hardest thing we have ever had to do, but it was for the better and we know this. The house has been very different since she's been gone...sometimes too quiet. I felt like a little piece of me was gone and I would never get it back, giving her up made me feel so empty. Today was the first day that I was able to get on here and actually write about this whole ordeal. It still makes me cry, but we are all getting over it slowly. In the next diary entry I will put the emails that I have received from Delilah's new family. They are wonderful people and I know we made the right choice. When Libby was pregnant she had to start sleeping on her own...I don't think she understood this...and after Delilah was born I think she knew that D needed a lot of attention from me, sooooo I didn't get much cuddling from her. Now that D has gone to her new home, Libby is back to being my best friend again.
Delilah's 1st mama - Trista

There are....

206 Dogs on Dogster that have the name Libby!!
BUT I am the ONLY min pin out of all of them.
LIBBY LIBS!! THE ONE AND ONLY!!!
Betta believe it....

The meaning of my name

Mom's lookin at what everyone's names mean today...silly her, dont you think she should've done this before she named all of us?! haha.

She did good with mine though...

Libby: English origin
Comes from the name Elizabeth
Means "God's Promise."
In the old testament Elishaba was the wife of Aaron (kinda funny considering mom is marrying dad soon and his name is Arron). My name has a lot of meaning behind it though. In the New Testament Elizabeth was the mother of John the Baptist, in the 12th-century Saint Elizabeth was the daughter of King Andrew II of Hungary, the Queen of England was named Elizabeth as well as the empress of Russia. So I guess it's a pretty good name. =)

My new daughter

On January 21st at 4 a.m. I started to get restless. I kept mom up for quite a few hours until I finally went back to sleep. At around 4 pm I started feeling funny again and around 6:43 I had this horrible pain! Mom and dad both had a finger in my mouth for me to bite and before I knew it I had a little puppy. Mom waited and waited all night into the next morning hoping and praying that I would have another one. She took me to the vet right away with my new baby girl, but the vet said that was all I was going to have. I had two shots and that was very unpleasant. I wasnt too sure what I was supposed to be doing with this little creature, mom was frustrated and crying because I kept curling up in a ball and didn't feed my baby. She told me I needed to feed her so I took big HUGE mouth-fulls of food and stashed them away in corners....maybe the baby will want them. I had to go to the vet two days in a row, mom told the vet I was a very "frantic mother" so she was given some medicine for me. Mom got frustrated because I would look at my baby and cry, I just didn't know what to do with her! I also wanted to be with mom and the baby, but I couldn't do two things at once...I missed my mom! When my puppy was 4 days old mom gave me the "sedative" to help me calm down. This helped me a lot because I got some sleep (so did mom finally, she's very happy about that). Mom started to put both of us on the bed with her, which was nice because I was calmer then. Mom wasn't getting any sleep for days because she was worried that I would hurt my baby, I kept sitting on her...but really I just wanted to take care of her, I just wasnt sure how. I went for my first walk yesterday since having the baby. Mom didn't think I was going to come, she was taking my sister Leilah for one and I kept yelling at her until she put my coat on. I'm glad I'm my old self again

And so tired!

My mom says that I have a condition where I have a gland in my neck that gets swollen. The last time it happened was a while ago now, but the vet says that if it happens again I'll have to have a big surgery. What happens is, is that my salivary gland gets swollen and I have to get a small surgery and have it drained. I didn't like this the last time it happened. But the surgery is really really expensive! My mom and dad decided a long time ago that they would like me to have a litter of baby dogs and I'm ok with that because my sister Gidget had her kittens in my kennel and I really hated it when Mom took them and put them in a room where I couldn't clean them!!
Anyways, I am 52 days pregnant today! Those little babies sure do move around a lot in there! Mom has set up a bed for me and I like to go lay in there. She moved into the spare bedroom with me so that I can have my own private space. I'm glad she's sleeping with me because I'd be really sad if she wasn't there, she's my best friend! Mom thinks there's probably 3 puppies in there!
When I have them she's going to set up a page on here for each one of them so everyone can watch them grow!!
Right now I'm just tired and pretty fat....Mom laughs at me and I just hide my face...
