I understand, I've lost 13 inches in Oct, and ONE pound.  I MUST learn to pick my battles but I see how discouraging the scale thing is.

I have three dogs, all brought in at different times.  I have two males and a female.  As long as the 'sniff test' is done on neutral ground and they approve of each other you should be OK.  I dont have any experience with JRTS as I have two Border Collies and a Lab X Border Collie.  There are typically less problems with mixed sexs.  Is the male neutered?  If not I would have that done.  I personally will never keep only a single dog.  They are very much pack animals and need canine interaction.  I say go for it but of course, let her decide.  There have been lots of dogs that I wanted, but if the other dog(s) don't like than it's no-go.  (Don't want to set either dog up for failure).

Good luck!!!

Great job! :)  'Grats!

I have also wondered this.... awaiting an answer with you :)

I have not personally been on depo.  I never will.  Everyone I know that's been on it has either 1) gained a ton of weight 2)gone nuts 3) gotten pregnant.

Get a good scale, and beat the hell outta the old one with a sledge hammer....  :)  I've considered this on more than one occasion.  Great job with the 40 lbs, that's AWESOME!!!  There is a possiblity that you have lost fat but gained muscle so your shape hasnt changed that much..?  I've been there, I was in a 16 and no one said anything about my weight loss until I was in a 9.  I asked why, my friends claimed they didnt want to bring attention to the fact that I was fat before.  (Like it was something I hadnt been aware of or something??)  I chalked it up to my friends being too busy/ self absorbed to notice how baggy the ass of my pants had become.  Hang in there :)

I'm sorry about your loss :(

I did :|   It's a long story.  I will sell her to you...real cheap
