Your kittehs are soooo thoughtful :)

When my kitteh was just a wee kitteh, she could only use the litter box one time . . . then it was "full" and all the litter was piled up on one wee turd.

My kitteh is so long that she poops in one end of the box, and scoops the litter from the other end, which doesn't come anywhere near the little parcel she just delivered. :blink: Has never got the concept of turning around :rolleyes:

Hello Dear Psillies,

Long time no see. I took a nasty fall down our hard wood stairs. The only thing stopping the fall was my face and the landing. I stayed in the house for over a week because I didn't want anyone to think Superman was beating me up (make-up made it look worse). I think it was Lex Luther who pushed me.ph34r.gifph34r.gif I finally went to the movies twice over the weekend. I highly recommend both movies that we saw: Snow White and the Huntsmen and Prometheus. Both long movies but the time flew. Now we're going back and watching all of the Alien movies. It seems to be taking forever for the bruise to heal and we o to NJ for our vacation July 5th. Trying to set up as many play dates as possible. There's a lovely small Mall (I don't like the large one down Rte 1). I feel like I'm setting up audiences (I'm reading Game of Thrones too much). was pleasantly surprised how many of my friends want to meet me. We're having dinner at our gluten-free friend's house the day we arrive (the 5th). I meet my friends the 6th (Superman has to make plans for the day - he's got dinner plans). I'm hoping to have dinner at PF Changs. Saturday Rob is being treated to a Roger Waters Concert with his oldest friend (from high school) and I'm sleeping at a girlfriends house. Sunday we're having brunch with my brother and SIL (it's a shorter drive from Va to Princeton than it is to RI).

The tourist season has begun here and our quiet town gets crazy with renters (and sucky drivers). It is good for the businesses. If I get to the beach by 9 it's not packed. Westerly has two private beaches but thee's nothing to stop anyone from walking down from the State beach (very crowded). There are a lot of wonderful free events (movies on the beach, blues, jazz, and more things that I don't remember).

Even though I haven't posted I have managed to keep up - that kitty dessert looks delicious wacko.gif.

Well dear friends, I've probably burned your eyes out. I'll try to keep in touch more.

Love, Hugs, & positive energy,

Loeywub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

LoLo honey, you need to spend some time propped up on silken pillows having your men-folk bring you chocolate dipped strawberries and wine (or the relaxing substance of your choice). Set up on the beach and bring a pea shooter to keep the tourists at bay. :)

I have a new chick! I'll try to get a pic in a few days, but I don't want to disturb Mom in case she abandons the other eggs. She's got three more under her - one that should be the same age as the one that hatched, and two more with undermined starting dates (a couple of the girls laid eggs in her nest while she was out gallivanting, and I wasn't checking). The wee babe is chipmunk colored 2415191071_1c3369cc42.webp, and is a silkie/welsummer mix.

My first silkie/welsummer mix was fluffy yellow, and is now pure white. I love genetics!

Baby chicks are adorable!

Lo - I agree with everything Jess said! And, you need a better story for your bruises. Falling down the stairs is too normal. Perhaps you fought off 3 large homeinvaders? Got it when the aliens were returning you after an abduction? Professional boxing match?

Hi, Loweeeee! :wub: Dear gawd, be careful.. . . ...

That is the most adorable chick I've ever seen.....he actually looks rather content....HAPPY, even....like, there's a little smile on his beak. Birds always seem to look pissed off, but not this li'l guy.. . . . B)

Little Joe spent NINE MONTHS in the rescue system because no one wanted him. They ended up basically paying us to take him in (we did not need that incentive, but did not turn it down either LOL).

Want to know WHY no one wanted him? CAUSE HE IS NOT A PURE BRED! :(:o

My dog is a pure bred! Despite the wierd picture I took of him. He was going to be euthenized and the shelter workers called a lady they know occasionally takes dogs to foster. Then I got him a few weeks later from her. So I guess no one wanted him becasue he was a pure bred? You never know!

Here's the disturbing thing going on around here. A Pet store is selling mixed breed puppies for $500. Things like Llasa poodle mixes & Llasa Bichon mixes. Then there is a rescue group with a bunch of these same puppies for about $90. Probably seized from the same puppy mills.

:angry: This is just ridiculous. Why would anyone pass over a beautiful soul because they are not a purebred? Hell, I'M no purebred, and lookit what a great catch I ended up amounting to!

:huh:

<_< <_<

Well....I'm a bit messy....and I ain't svelte nor graceful.... .. ... ...and I don't always clean up too well......

But you get my point!.. .. ... ... :rolleyes:

For whatever the reason (and social scientists still cannot tell us exactly why this is), black dogs and cats are the animals least likely to be adopted from a shelter, or picked from a litter of puppies/kittens. The stats overwhelmingly show mass preference for any other colour...quite odd. My black substandard poodle was one of the most beautiful dogs ever.

The worst is the story how he got in the shelter to begin with... his owners moved away one night and left him in a cage in the back yard! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: Neighbors fed him scraps for a couple weeks until they could find a rescue org to take him in.

His name is "Little Joe" because the rescue org that took him in was full, but his big eyes and friendly demeanor won them over and they called him "Little Joe" because he wrangled his way in. :lol:

Had to go looking for picture of said dog . . .

Here it is for everyone else who was as confused as I:

Neither are we! :D He looks like a great prynese with one distinct difference...he is only 65 pounds (They are usually over 100). He kind of looks like he could be a mix of golden and somthing, but does not have the golden face at all.

He's a cutie . . . you need to add something to show the scale. I would have never guessed him as a 65 pounder.

It's true, he looks like a little guy.... .. ..from the photo I would have guessed border collie sized -- 35-40 pounds...

What a great face.....full of character. :)

Yeah,he's got the facial structure of a little dog. He's too cute. Does he also think he's a little dog and jump in your lap? :D

Funny thing about that is most people think his head is big for his body when they meet him. He is playful still, just in shorter burst then when we first got him 10 years back. :)

I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
