No- I am not giving birth to this fur ball (Richard!) but Patti and Andre wanted the scopp so here it is. We found him Open Original Shared Link

Right now his name is Shiloe, but we are thinking about:

Keeping that name

Orion (our favorite constellation)

Bodhi (short for Bodhisattva which are enlightened beings that chose to stay on earth to help others)

Brubeck (for Dave Brubeck, my favorite jazz piano player)

Beck (cuause we think Beck is cool.... click Open Original Shared Link

Any other cool suggestions welcome!

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D

Congrats...it's so fun to get a new puppy (aside from the pee and poo). I have 3 of my own...1 lab and 2 gordon setter puppies...

jerseyangel Proficient

Oh Bev, he sounds great! I would be so excited, too :D

Of all the names you listed, he looks most like a Bodhi to me--plus I like the description :) Shiloe is nice, too. Maybe he's already used to it?

You'll have to keep us posted on the little one.

( :lol: Beck--people often tell my older son he looks like him! I think he looks more like Seth Green, but what do I know, I'm just the mom :D )

AndreaB Contributor

Boy, I had to go through all the work of finding a new thread. :angry::lol::lol:

I found it! Obviously, huh. :P

Love your new little puppy Bev.

I like the name Shiloe as well as Orion. That's just me though.

You'll have to be sure to post many picture updates, since they grow so fast. :D

I'm so glad you are able to get a puppy, even though you are still dreaming of a bernese.

How adorable!!!

B: How about "Mojo Twist" :P

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

He is adorable, I really like the name Shiloe, he is too cute!

DingoGirl Enthusiast

OHHHHHHHHHHHH he is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Just the sweetest little bundle of fur. I like Shiloe, but I am sure you'll come up with something perfect once you meet him if that's not right. I changed Tika's name about 10 times - - and she still gets called many things - and she should ahve been named Sassy.

BTW my brother's dog is named Mojo. :P

I am so excited for you!!!!

Um, both my dogs were house-trained almost instantly from the instructions in this great book I used - The Art of Raising a Puppy by the Monks of New Skete (they raise prized German Shepards). In case you need any good tips. ;)

Stinker and Annie are SO excited for you also. :rolleyes:

Congrats! I am adopting a 3-year-old cat named Butch (I will change his name to Spats, the late beloved cat of one of my best friends0>

When I saw your new addition, I thought he looked like a Morrie!

Have fun! I really believe that pets are God's way of saving that He loves us in spite of us!

Bev:

What is the status of your new pup? Gotta know!
Mtndog Collaborator

Oh my gosh- I was so bummed I couldn't log on last night! I wanted to post so bad but it was down. He's doing great!

i, on the other hand, am exhausted! :blink::rolleyes:

We brought him home yesterday afternnon and he was shaking like a leaf. Got better as the day went on. last night I slept on the floor next to his crate! He was really good tough...not a peep (or a pee :P ) and we went out at 11, 1:30, 4:30, 6:30. I then passed out on the couch until 9.

Had to go up to school today to pick up some paperwork so Angus came with. He was great in the car. Shy around the office staff.

We went over the house of one of my committee members because she was dying to meet him. He LOVED her dogs (she has a yellow lab and a Newfie/golden mix with a head like a bulldozer but SUPER sweet). He was all over them and their tails were wagging like mad! He curled up with one of her dogs on the couch and took a nap.

He's had about 5 accidents so far which isn't bad considering we're crate and house training. He's even been nice to the cats.

He's a little suspicious of guys though. MUCH prefers me to Kurt and was afraid of another one of my professors who is male. :( Kurt's kind of bummed out. Me too. But hopefully he'll come around. :rolleyes:

jaten Enthusiast

Oh, Bev!!!! He's adorable, and will be such a handsome big fella :)

I'm really super happy for you. So is Angus the name? I like that a LOT. What a great name, and he looks like an Angus....Haines thinks so, too!

Enjoy, and one day he'll be house-broken, and one year he'll be beyond the chewing stage, and you'll be glad you stuck with him because he'll stick with you and be the perfect fit for your home.

Haines is so beautiful (not after Haines Alaska is he or did I already ask you that?). I wish you lived closer so our pups could play and we could compare gall bladder (lack thereof!) stories.

lonewolf Collaborator

Congrats! He's adorable! Hang in there with the long nights - they'll get better. I can't count how many times I got up with Buddy at night during the first 6 weeks, then it got better. He's now 5 months and sleeps for 8-81/2 hours every night with no accidents!

Haines is so beautiful (not after Haines Alaska is he or did I already ask you that?).

Thank you, and yes for Haines, AK. Hubby and I took an Alaskan cruise a few years ago. A few months later we adopted a very loving shelter dog...ta daaaa.....Haines!

I wish you lived closer so our pups could play and we could compare gall bladder (lack thereof!) stories.

That would be so grand! Speaking of absent gall bladders, the euphoria was THE BEST ;) I still haven't figured that one out

Mtndog Collaborator

Haines AK is so beautiful- I was there in the summer of 2001. Stunning (like your doggie).

i know I miss my gall bladder less euphoria- drugs? :D :D :D :D :blink:

jesscarmel Enthusiast

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.
    • trents
      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
