:) Yes, thank you all for a great fun evening on here!! Here's a bedtime prayer for you all:

Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him; And Patience for his moods. Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to death. AMEN.

'Night everyone!!!

lonewolf, I don't know where you live, but you do know that the coyotes can jump an 8" fence. And if they run in packs, they are not afraid of humans and would take your puppy away from you. So, that is great that you left him at home. But, the packs also will run in the daytime, not just at night. We have a pack running about 3 miles from us and since they move around, I am extra cautious when my toy poodle goes out.

Oh, we posted at the same time and I didn't see this. Now that I'm done laughing, I'm scared for my little guy. We used to live by about 100 acres of woods, but they've all been bulldozed down and new houses put in over the past 18 months. We have rats, rabbits, skunks, raccoons, squirrels and coyotes all displaced and over-running our long-standing neighborhood with large yards and lots of trees. First, the raccoons ate our chickens, then rats got into everyone's houses, then we started smelling skunks quite often. Now we keep seeing coyotes right on our street. First about a 20 pound pup several times, then a small adult, and then last night I saw a huge male.

We have a 5 foot high fence and I thought Buddy would be safe. I guess we'll keep him inside unless we are out with him. I know the coyotes have been in our yard, but I hadn't thought about them jumping the fence - we don't always close the gates.

Just got back inside from letting out a few good howls at the moon...... :rolleyes:;)

2) I wouldn't want to offend anyone who might faint or swoon at the sight of anything even hinting at racy...

<_<:rolleyes:B)

yeah well....don't think that would offend - - just don't mention ANYTHING about religion lately...oops - keep that off here! we have a nice, happy, silly thread!

Then he had to tell me to stop laughing as he can't hear the football game.

GRRRRRRRRR!!! :angry: hate football....see my Bulldogs posts.... :lol: (a great year for me, a bad one for them!)

Okay...thanks for the laughs you goofballs. Updates.....Rachel - see the OMG thread - most likely has LYME!!! can you believe this??? I just read it and am still processing it. NOt a 100% diagnosis, but most likely.....treatment to begin later.

Bad news....Vincent has left the forum. He had a thread about it earlier this morning, I tried to post on it, and it was gone. I dont' know what's going on. I really think we need him here.....maybe everyone should BEG him to come back? :(

I gotta go....not feeling great - - too much rice pudding..... :ph34r: my new favorite thing.... :o

Liz - where do you live? sounds fantastic but do take care of that sweet little dog!

Bev - you crazy th ing - - - love the photo, you vixen :lol:

To stop the snoring before it starts.

What you may want to do is build a dog run with a house and a door on the front of the run out of chain link for when you put him out there. If you have a door with a latch and a way to put a lock on it then you could put him out there when it is nice and lock it so no one lets him out and no coyote will push up the latch and open it. They will not just go after your puppy but also when he gets older. My mother's German Shepherd when they were out walking in the morning was attacked by coyotes and had to have stitches. That wa done by a single coyote.

The problem is humans are greedy and have taken away the habitat of the animals, we can move but their place of living is theirs for life.

Thanks guy's my eyes are closed mainly so I don't have to look in the mirror! Funny story I woke up and looked in the mirror and thought I saw a huge new wrinkle then looked harder and it was a scratch. Oh well, guess you had to be there! I took the day off work mostly so I wouldn't be harrassed all day B)

jerseyangel Proficient

Oh Tavi, I can relate! I turned 50 in February :ph34r: Once today passes, it really dosen't feel any different than 49 :lol:

I think it was Julie who said here that 50 is the new 40--hang onto those words.... B)

Rusla Enthusiast

Happy Birthday Tavi.

Now the scariest age for me was 30, so far. However, I know that they made a mistake on my birth certificate because my mind is 25 except for the senility part and well my body is the give away, this morning it feels ninety. Of course winter weather makes it hurt and creak more. My saving grace is most think I am maybe 40 not that over half a century look.

Happy Birthday Tavi!!!

You guy's are just too funny! I know Patti can relate as she just hit the mark. Susan: I just thought that when you are 50 I will be 55 wishing I was 50, why are we so messed up about our ages?

I did email Vincent and he is gone, that's too bad, I enjoyed his posting.

Guess what?? There is another Tavi posting! Could it really be me and I have multiple personalities, and just don't remember posting? Could it be the picture of the dog's name? Oh my, holy moley batman what is going on?

AndreaB Contributor

I just noticed that Vincent is over at Daily Strength.

DingoGirl Enthusiast

TAvi - another Tavi - - oh dear....have someone try and help you to see if you have multiple personalities...might be hard to figure out on one's own..... :huh:

forgot to say - - Bev - gorgeous photo and gorgeous dog - - looks like an.....Anatolian Shepard?? or not....maybe I just made that up and don't know what I'm talking about?

dang guys... morning's are tough! don't remember half of what I write....should stay away from all methods of communication until noon...... :o:lol:

andrea - good morning - - vincent on Daily Strength? how can I keep up with another site??? Let's get him back. Admin is erasing threads like crazy - two were removed yesterday.

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.

      I realize I'm super late in the game regarding this topic but in case anyone is still reading/commenting on this one-does anyone who is especially sensitive have their personal observations to share regarding Primal Kitchen brand?  My daughter was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with celiac and within 6 months, her follow up labs were normal and a year later vitamin levels significantly improving, but we are still battling GI symptoms; particularly, constipation, so much that she has been on MiraLax every day since she was 3.  We've managed to get her down to a half cap every other day but without that, she continues to have issues (when she has a known, accidental ingestion unfortunately it takes a lot more MiraLax and additional laxatives to help her).  I was searching for something else and found this and am wondering if anyone has any specific comments regarding Primal Kitchen.  I feel like we are so incredibly careful with diet, logging diet and symptoms to look for patterns (we've had multiple dieticians help with this piece as well), not eating out, contacting companies and of course, there is always room for improvement but I'm running out of ideas regarding where her issues could be coming from.  Even if the Primal Kitchen is contributing, I'm sure it's not the only thing contributing but I can't help but think there must be handful of things that are working together and against her.  The ingredients list distilled white vinegar, but also white wine vinegar and balsamic, then "spices" which I'm always cautious about.  However, after contacting the company, I felt more comfortable allowing her to consume their products but over time I've realized that the front-line customer service support people don't always provide the most accurate of information.  Thanks for reading to anyone that does.
