My sweet boys brought me another small dead thing. I guess I wasn't sufficiently appreciative of the last one, because this one they brought into my bedroom <_<

Sounds like an animal sacrifice to appease the god(ess) :lol:

Did they place their gift on your bed? Last year, Tess brought a dead chickadee onto my bed, placed it on my pillow, and left it for me. I woke up and saw it there. right beside my head. Lovely.

...Cats......

Tinkerbell hasn't been outside since we got her. Doesn't seem to miss it. She used to be a stray...and pregnant. A lady took her in, gave away the kittens, and my DD got Tinkerbell. She has a big scar over her right shoulderblade (favorite place to be scratched :D ) She did find a mouse in the house once and left it in Briana's shoe! :P

D'eye ever tell you guys about the time Weezee vomited up a veeeeeeeeery freshly-killed (like, within minutes :blink: ) rodent?/possum?/guinea pig?/human baby? onto my needlepoint carpet in the bedroom? :huh: I'd had her one week.......she came home with, quite alarmingly, blood on her paws.......I thought she was injured and I'd JUUUUUUUUST paid for a $300 surgery for a subcutaneous tear (hazard of one of her escapes <_< )......

So within minutes she begins the contorted gagging.......then slow-motion vomiting, as I watched crunched bones/head/tail//sinew/black and white fur (hair? :huh: ) egress horrifyingly from her gaping mouth onto my carpet..........it was maybe a five-pound critter.........no idea what it was but 'twas rather like a horror film - knowing that it was just so freshly-killed, and all................ :blink:

Lovely. :lol:

ballcock sighting. :lol: :lol:

Well, heading over to see both Kisseys, 'tis movie night. Alas, David's air condition in house is not as good as mine, we will see how long I"ll last. :huh:

Fortunately just on the floor. And maybe it was a sacrifice, it appeared to have the heart ripped out (eeewwww)

I was house sitting for my brother one time and got up early one morning, padded into the kitchen in my bare feet, and discovered that their kitchen floor was the exact color of a disembodied bird's head.

I think the snake survived better than I did :lol: It's amazing how fast reflexes can be!!! My foot barely touched it when all these alarms went off in my head...RETREAT!...RETREAT!! Next thing I know , I'm in another part of the house and my heart is trying to catch up!!! :o:o:lol:

Yes, my Kira has a black tongue...and is more than happy to use it on anyone who comes to visit. It is the one feature of Chow's that we LOVE...so unique.

I wish all my fellow Silly canuckians a safe long weekend. Talk to you all soon.

Our previous home had a dog door directly into the basement. We also had a bait apple tree in the fencend in back yard that attractted the squirrels. My MaggieDog was quite a squirrel killer. Had over 3 dozen notches on her collar for past kills. She was quite a meek & mild dog when it came to humans, but she totally transformed when she saw a squirrel. She would bring them in to the house and present them with her tail-wagging-doggie thoughts "Fry that up for supper, wouldja?"

She brought in many dead things but far worse than dead things are live things . . . she brought a playing-dead-but-still-alive opossum into the house.

OMG...Lisa, you have a big snake in your house? They are very difficult to cuddle...and you must feed them live little creatures, n'est-ce pas? Janet, you could have had a good system going with your Maggiedog, had you also a python in your household. She'd bring in the dying rodents, and there's the snake's dinner! :o:lol:

Happy Vicky's Birthday to you, Ryan! From what part of Saskatchewan do you hail?

Yes, the chow's black tongue is unique for certain. MY Chow (Mr.) doesn't have one...I checked. :huh::rolleyes:

It's a Ryan/Daxin sighting!!!!!!!!!! Hi there!!!!!! And... :ph34r: a ballcock sighting? Coincidence? :P

OMGAWD- all tthis talk of dead ani-mules is worse than the discovery channel when they slow-motionly show the poor thirsty baby wildebeasties get crocked to death!! "but wait- let's watch it again in slow motion to see just how the croc grabs it by the throat and shakes it to death!" :P:o

Angus (ding Ding) has yet to catch anything but our female bobcat (Frisca- 10 pounds of evil genius!) caught a HUMMINGBIRD once :huh: (unless she bought it at the store!). She presented us with it and we really had to act grateful. We kept it in a bag for a bit because it was so beautiful and then gave it the proper burial it deserved :(

Emily- I am SO glad you found Elsie. Poor sweet little lamb!

So within minutes she begins the contorted gagging.......then slow-motion vomiting,

Oh, I know this way too well. Frisca has been acting quite bulimic lately.....tried to yuke on the TV yesterday.

:ph34r: Flashback.....This reminds me of a time when I woke up, walking around barefoot without my glasses........and stepped on...............my son's BALL PYTHON THAT HAD GOTTEN LOOSE :o ...live, of course.

I would have DIED. I love all animals except reptiles (with a few exceptions like man-eating komodo dragons, geckos) but I really, really don't like snakes! Seriously- would have passed out!

Have any of you seen My Super Ex-Girlfriend with Luke Wilson and Uma Thurman? I suppose I'd rather step on a Monty Ball Python than have a great white shark thrown through my bedroom window :P

Hi me Sillies :D:D

I'm hard at work painting, but thought I'd poop in for a second. Enjoying all the stories....when we first lived in New Jersey, we would let Allo out in the fenced-in back yard. In that space, he managed to kill a couple birds and bring them up on the deck for us.

Hope ya'll are having a nice weekend--the Canadian 3-day!!!!Yeah! Happy V's birthday to you guys up there. :)

I see Bevvie and Ryan checked in! This computer is so freaking slow :angry: This morning I gave up trying to connect--sat here for 10 minutes and couldn't even access my email.

Well, back to work B)

Oh, I forgot--Susie...103????? Stay cool!

Been working out in the yard a bit this morning. It was suppose to rain this afternoon so of course it's sunny and blue skies. I have officially donned shorts. I will be heading out shortly to the privacy of my back yard to try and dispose of the ghostly white fish belly palloUr on me legs. But first . . . wish I had a picture, but you'll just have to use your imaginations . . . the neighbor's daughter and son-in-law stopped by for a brief visit and brought one of their FOUR dogs (she's a vet tech, I might add). So Abby (the dog) came for a romp with Josie. Abby's mother was a yellow lab and her father a border collie. Her body (size, shape, hair length . . . EVERYTHING) is just like a lab. Her hair color and markings are pure border collie. It was an odd vision. Usually, there's enough other changes that it's obvious a mix. She looked like a lab in costume or a lab that somebody painted the wrong coloUr or somefin'!!! She was a sweatheart.

Janet, I believe I know this Glidden coloUr of that neighboUr dog of your'n that stopped by - it's called Border Collie Hybrid Confusion.

:lol:

HAD 2 snakes--back when my son was in high school. They were for his research project. He grew up to be a wildlife biologist and ecologist. And yes, they eat mice and rats. I don't normally mind snakes----even have a picture of me holding an 8 ft boa in high school.....but I REALLY don't like surprises! :o ......probably why I can't stand spiders. They have a habit of doing that. :unsure:

My Zeus is part chow, and he has a spotted tongue---------a heterozygous anomally!! (Been in too many middle school sciences classes :P )

Hey! Abby is what our Lisa just said...a heterozygous anomally. Or perhaps this term is just for cross-referenced tongues... :lol:

Janet, your description of Abby makes me think of these standard poodle pups that are currently advertised on the website on which I found our Elsie. They are gorgeous, beautifully lined poodles, but they have the coloUr of a border collie - - black and white patches, like a holstein cow. They're called "Parti Colour Poodles"...uh huh..... <_<

My Zeus is part chow, and he has a spotted tongue---------a heterozygous anomally!! (Been in too many middle school sciences classes :P )

Whoa...........this is sumfin'....but what does it mean?!......There's a whole lot 'o CHOW finding its way onto our thread lately....... :huh::unsure:

DingoGirl Enthusiast

Parti ColoUr Poodles! 'Tis another band name, perhaps an opener for the BadAss Snow Poodles, and it can be a theme night at a club (obviously Poodle Night, or - clearly leading into another band name, Obvious Poodle Night..... :lol: ). :D

<what is it with me and the band names? they are always in my head......did I tell you guys about the time I was in L.A., walking down Melrose w/ a couple of friends.......we actually saw what looked to be a clump of human hair - w/ perhaps scalp attached? :unsure: on the street, next to the curb. We have photos of it. The band name from that? Gutter Wig. :lol: >

And yes, Em, what DOES it mean, all of this CHOW entering the thread lately? :unsure: Surely 'tis a purple-tongue-ed convergence of some kind....... (with the exception of your decidedly pink-tongued Mr. Chow)

Am getting a tremendous amount of cleaning/organizing done today, don't know what's happened to me. :lol: Kissey and Mini K are at a heinous, all-day testing, from 8 to 5 in an un-air-conditioned :o gymnasium......Mini K will have his second-degree black belt at the end of this, and I will have one worn-out Kissey showing up at my door after 5, who, I believe, will go promptly to sleep on my couch. ;) Must have snacks, beverages, and a cool compress waiting.

Am getting liposuction and a boob job on Monday. :lol:

Hi Patti! are ya paintin' yer stool again?????? :lol:

Where is Ptghauuuuuuuuuughauoueaghmnnnn? :unsure: Hope he's okay. And Sarah? we haven't heard from her in a few days - or have we? Am slightly delirious and heat-baked. And Julie.....

OMG - there is a phrequent Anonymous User reading our thread lately - - one obviously too embarasssed to show himself here, be seen phraternizing among the naughty sillies.

HI SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
