Wow. . . ....still the same perpetually-surprised, out-of focus look in her eyes. .. .. ....but at least the two corkscrew ponytails are gone.. .. ..

All right: I wish to return to the subject of dogs. My story trumps ALL of yours, hands down.

The one hazard of having big dogs, at least with me, has been forgetting that your one-year old, seventy-five pound pup is still just that -- A PUP. Hank is big, lanky and looks now like a responsible adult.

He is NOT this yet. STILL A PUP, with intact puppy brain and habit patterns.

SOooOooOoOoo, I am more relaxed now with keeping the small garbages down when we are out, figuring that Hank is big, therefore mature. He rarely pulls any kleenex or paper out of them anymore.

I came home yesterday at lunchtime, and Elsie was at the door, wiggling about to greet me. Hank was not with her. I walked down the hallway and Hank's head came around the corner from the living room. He veeeeerrrrrrry slowly began to walk toward me, head down, peering up at me. Hmm. . . ....something in his mouth. .. . .....

So, what is the ABSOLUTE WORST thing a dog could pull out of a garbage container and chew apart on the only carpet (light beige, Persian, wedding present) in one's entire household?

Not makeup. Worse.

Liquid Paper? Glue? Pshaw.

I'll give everyone a hint. He found it in the office garbage container.

A BLACK PRINTER CARTRIDGE.

:blink:

So, black powdery stuff all down Hank's chin and around his mouth, and I turn into the LIVING ROOM... . . . . . ..

Yup, it's all over the carpet.

My story beats everyone's!!!

Awe... at least he knew he did something wrong and was looking sad. I thought the thing he pulled out of the trash was going to be a sanitary napkin with blood all over the carpet. The toy poodle I had as a childhood pet used to do that. :blink:

My friend had a big adult dog that they took in from an abused dog shelter. She was very gentle around people but everytime they left the house even if for just a few minutes she would tear something up. Pillows, toilet paper, mail from the desk, whatever was soft that she could get her teeth into. They tried crating her with a blanket and she tore her blanket to shreds. Finally one day my friend got down on the dogs eye level, looked her in the eye and said firmly but gently, "I have to leave now, but I will be right back. Okay?" The dog wagged her tail, my friend then left, drove down the road to the gas station and came back about 15 minutes later. Nothing was destroyed. She gave the dog a treat for beign good. So she did that same thing the next day when she had to leave for longer to go shopping. It worked again. She went to work the next week and the whole week everyday when she left she told the dog she would be sure to come back. The dog was good all week until on friday when my friend rushed out the door running late and didn't tell her dog she would be back. She came home to a mess. :o

Moral of the story: dogs understand more than we think and miss us when we leave. Sometimes they make a mess to express their grief at our leaving. :ph34r:

I tell my dog all the time. "Don't worry. We'll be back. We are leaving you with all our stuff." He still seems to think it is amazing when we manage to make it home without having been eaten by wild cats or getting lost.

Standard poodles are just too smart for any type of management strategy. They simply think, rightly, "Dear gawd. Here she is, calmly assuring me that she will be back. What sort of idiot does she take me for? A basset hound? She goes out every day, she comes back every day. I KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE BACK. I also know that you've left me all my toys. I see them all around me, I am not blind nor feeble-minded. You use your calm voice to communicate that you are being firm but loving. I hear other things in there - - a bit of doubt? Hesitation? Interesting. Well, let's play with her a bit. I'll just take out ONE kleenex from the bin this morning, and she'll think things are improving.... .. .. ..ha.. . ... then wait until the weekend...........

I am thinking about getting Cooper a poodle. He needs a dog that is smart and will make him feel safe. I have noticed that when we have the dog next door over (who is sooo clever if he used his mind for good not evil, he would cure cancer) my dog isn't afraid of thunder, slippery floors extra.

Did you guys know that those hollow core wood doors actually have strips of corrugated cardboard in them? I know because one of my dogs ate a hollow core door once (well, the bottom 10% anyway) . . . also stripped the linoleum off the floor . . . also destuffed a couch.

Printer cartridges, pffft!!

I had a 17 lb terrier that jumped up on the kitchen table and ate the whole back half of an iced angel food cake. He did it so that, when we came in the garage door, the side we could see looked great. Took awhile until we noticed. He didn't get sick either.

My 10 pound toy poodle climbed up on the kitchen counter and ate a an entire tub of butter once. She did get sick and made quite the mess all over the carpet. She was fine after that however and we learned never to leave the butter out again. :blink:

Dear gawd, that was a long reign I just put in. .. . . . ...was that, like, two years er somethin'? Time tends to drag when one is scrubbing up black ink from a Persian carpet.

AND off a big dog's phace. :angry:

Soozle needs to be here for this conversation. Weezee has gotten into quite a nimber of things and produced quite interesting poop.......sparkly, even.

My Zeus has chewed the corner off the wall. He is deathly afraid of helium balloons, squeekers in toys, and football games on tv.

Congratulations Karen . . . and now we are off to dog poop stories . . . some segue, huh?

JoDog used to eat crayons . . . made for colorful poop.

. . . and now we transition to dog vomit . . .

Once MaggieDog ate a bunch of chocolate (she got into some Christmas gifts). I called the vet and it was determined that it was not enough to kill her but she would be miserable and it would be best to make her throw up. (I feel like I've already told this story on here before). I had to give her hydrogen peroxide. After I gave it to her, I thought "Damn, I should have asked how long it takes to kick in." It became apparent . . . I assume that you are all familiar with the dog-hurling-sound. I took her outside where she went from location to location hurling up chocolate and foil wrappers. Then I thought "Damn, I should have asked how long it takes to stop." Well, you can tell that, too. It's over when they go back to start licking up the vomit piles.

Yep.

When DD and her family were living with us, I felt like I had no time to myself. Now that they've moved out, I still feel like I have no time to myself. I've been helping them get settled in their new place. Been trying to wean them off.

Still dancing. In fact......flash mob at Castleton Mall is supposed to happen this Saturday, but no time has been mentioned, yet. Becoming suspicious that it will be canceled.

School is out, so I'm hoping to get some much needed work done around the house.....painting and such.

Been reading along faithfully.....just haven't taken the time to be social.

Would be nice if you knew the time. As Queen, I decree that it must be filmed & put on YouTube. The film must feature Lisa prominently.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
