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.

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.

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..... <_<

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

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you
