Open Original Shared Link turns 50 this year. :o :o :o

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.

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?

Dogs ingesting marvelous things.. . . . . ... . ...our substandard poodle before Gus used to produce poop that would have, the odd time, a sewing pin or two in it. :huh: She lived to fourteen, incredibly. . . . ..

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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
