I want something that is intelligent, snuggly, loyal and cheerful that can go on runs and hikes with me! I'm thinking golden doodle because they seem like the ultimate snuggly dog and the poodle X golden retreiver cross appears to be a good fit. But I also really like Border Collies!

They're all snuggly if you want them to be. Even rottweilers. My cousin has two of them and they are some of the most pathetically, sickeningly sweet dogs ever.

I've been around some surprisingly un-snuggly dogs in my day!

My neighbor had a rottweiler growing up though who was definitely a snuggle bug but sometimes I felt like I would drown in all his drool!

German Shepherds are the way to go! My great aunt breeds them and travels around the world to be judge ever since she retired from working.

Here is my favorite dog of hers, Nurmi. He actually use to be the most awarded dog in the world at one point for the categories obediance, agility, and herding. Sadly he passed away a few years ago.

To be honest, I'm not exactly sure. On the website the name lists Nurmi but underneath it says "PAM V Nurmi Von Den Maibuchen SchH3 IPO3 UDT AX AXJ HXas VCD2 KKL1 (life) "A" OFA DNA" I don't know how to understand that at all haha. I'm pretty sure Von Den Maibuchen means the location from which he is from, not quite sure though.

50 pounds! You should take some before and after photos as well. Good luck with it!

I'm sure the kitty resolution shouldn't be too hard to achieve.

The before and after pics probably won't be as drastic as you're expecting (that's part of the reason I've gained this much weight - it doesn't show up as clearly on tall people! both a blessing and a curse).  :P  But will do.  I think I could stand to lose a bit more than that actually, but that's more long-term.

Kitty will be super easy to do, but slightly more difficult to do right.  I want to make sure I'm as prepared as I can be and don't want to rush into it, so we'll see when it actually happens.  Mostly though I am just really really afraid of the cat breaking my *things*, which I think is indicative of a general change that I need to make as well (get rid of *things* and shift my focus to living relationships, like kittehs).  But as with most things, this is easier said than done.  :|
