Next competition... pets with hats!!! yer ON!!!

OMG.. . . you guys have NO idear. .. ......okay, gettin' me camera out.. . . ..

Before I take any more pics, I must ask this again: Can anybody tell me how to make pictures "smaller" (not cropped -- smaller resolution, or pixels er sumfin') after I've copied them from my sim card onto my computer? I use piknik to edit (the excellent fb program), but I can't seem to find this "resize" option -- it only lets you change the margins, methinks... . . ..

Cooper will not cooperate with the hat contest. I tried to explain about the fabulous prizes, status, fame & fluffy white groupies that come with winning. To no avail!

Perhaps one of the boys?

Did you see the pics posted of a gluten-free lemon cake By Trish? Daughter made? Her cat was wearing a party hat.

Coop would like a styling hat. Will have to wait until I can take his picture in sunlight. His face doesn't show up well without a lot of light.

I will have to try to get a hat on Simon tonight.... That should be interesting. I think he may try to thumper me to death. I may have to trance him first :huh:

Annoying Funny story. Mocha-bunny was easy to box train. Followed the instuctions: Watch for a few days to see where rabbit pees. They usually always go in the same spot. Place litter box where rabbit pees, VIOLA! Box trained!! Soooooo, have been doing this for a week with Simon. He was peeing in 1 corner, I placed the box there, he decided it was fun to play in-jump in and out of, so he moved his pee-spot to the middle/back of the hutch. I moved the box there, even placed a bit of the soaked bedding to entice him.... He moved back to the previous corner. I was scolding him a bit this morning, moved the box back to the corner, he turned, hopped back to the middle spot, looked me in the eyes and PEED right where the flippin box had been 20 seconds earlier!!!! GAHHHHHH!!! :rolleyes:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm trying desparetly to finish off my boxes of wine so I can take them out wiht the recycling tomorrow. Y'know, being efficient and all that.

Hubs did that last night too! :P

Funny for you! He is scared of the wooden floors & staircase. He will stop in the middle of the floor, petrified. I made my carpeted stairs wood because it's sooo much easier than trying to vacuum the dog hair. I am going to have to put a runner on them. He was stuck for 2 hours at the top of the stairs needing to go to the bathroom & eat.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

ok. chickens are in bed. that's my destination too.

talked to BE on the phone, told him I was less than thrilled with our recent 'evenings'. He said "I don't know what you're talking about. I have a great time!".....uh....yea.....that's 'cause events pretty much go straight to your gameplan.....how 'bout we go back to you thinking you had to convince me to stay...

What did he say?? My therapist would say it's time to go back to the 'courting' stage. No nookie :rolleyes::P

well, he's willing to do anything to make me happy, he just doesn't understand what's wrong. :huh: And actually, it's not as if anything is wrong, it was just so fabulous in the beginning that I think we should try to maintain that. I'll have to work on how to convey this. Maybe a demonstration. :P

Do you have a smartphone? I take a pic wif my iphone, then I email it to myself and copy to the desktop for uploading. It asks me how big a file to send and I always pick the small size. It's perfect for uploading here and FB

I am imagining your house with wall to wall boxes.. :P

What I do is take it to a paint program and export it. I use Printmaster size it so that it is small and leaves a lot of border. Then export it to the desktop. Then use Windows Live Photo Gallery and 'Fix'. I can crop with that and it comes out to be a smaller file. That's probably the Rube Goldberg way to do it... there is probably a 'proper' way that is easier.

I know! I asked a breeder's group if they had any tips and someone suggested putting another litter box in the hutch.... The hutch is only so big, for crying out loud! He's got to have room to move around in there! I'm going to pick up a different bedding tonight to see if that makes a difference. I think he's just messing with me though :rolleyes:

Wow! I go to the dental sadist and all kinds of things come up

I remember my bun, Flopsy, doing that. He only liked the litter boxes with the high curving in sides. A flatter one would not do. And his out of the cage box had to be in the corner behind the couch.

Your bun is so young, maybe he needs a hiding place. Just a sort of shelf like thingy. 2 walls his height with a top he could sit on if he wanted.

A hiding place to pee in or a hiding place to sleep?

Oh Cooper.... that's not a very happy hat face... It just shows - some dogs are too smart to be made fun of..

To sleep or feel secure. Sometimes the litter box is the only place to hide when its scary or we are bothering them (loud music & dancing, things flying, etc). We don't want them always hiding or they don't become social. I don't know if that is why he isn't using the box or not but its a thought.

Well, I could hear in my mind exactly what Hank was thinking when I snapped the picture for this av.... . . . ..I am a member of the most intelligent breed of dog on the planet. Here I sit, obeying her, allowing myself to be completely humiliated. Would a border collie tolerate this? Not a chance......

He does have a pained expression on his face. Coop isn't too smart to wear a hat, he's too dumb. His poor muddled brain. :(

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
