The past week has been a blur of sleep deprivation due to our new puppy, who's finally getting more secure in his new environment.

What a beautiful pup!! Makes me think of what our Lucy must have looked like then. We have a white standard female. She is a rescue. We got her from Circus people who had over 100 dogs with all of them in crates all day with only 2 potty breaks and no play time. It was pathetic. She is partially blind and mentally retarded. But we just love her!! :)

Have fun and enjoy every moment of it!! Hide your shoes. :P

we've named him Neo, like in The Matrix, and he's settled in, and doing well with what we're teaching him so far. he picked up sit very quickly, so we're mostly reinforcing; he naturally retrieves, so we just need to correlate it with a command. stay is just starting to happen, as he's just now getting comfortable with the idea of this being his permanent new home and feeling confident of it. come is one my husband is working on, and it's a little slow going. he knows the idea of housebreaking, but doesn't get the idea of puppy pads, which is kinda frustrating. not too many accidents, however, since he's good about waiting until we go outside (which is often).

he's been fairly good with shoes. trying to teach him not to chew on the ethernet cable I have on the floor while I work from home has been harder, but he's picking it up. the guy is smart, just sometimes very puppy. :) he is only 9.5 weeks old, after all. :D

huh, that's odd. I had a link to my flickr pictures (not an advertisement, I don't sell my pics, and none of them come close to offensive, they're mostly trees from hiking!).

perhaps someone edited it out?

I'll try again: Open Original Shared Link

Some more pictures of Neo - both feeling unwell (we think it's a bad case of teething) and playing like crazy (taken on back to back days).

Tiifany, what a gorgeous creature Neo is!! I would never get another breed after having spent half my life with standard poodles. We have two, a big white female rescue pup, and a very big apricot male. They are the ideal dog -- with children, the elderly, big families, small......perfectly cut out for the job of special needs dog...cannot say enough about them.

Funny, our black female standard that I grew up with went through all kinds of obedience and agility training, and learned so quickly, as these fiercely intelligent beasts do. Sit, down, stay, heel, everything was picked up immediately. However, she would not ever respond to the "come" command - - ever. She knew what it meant, but simply chose not to obey that one. :lol: One of the trainers at the time told me that standard poodles are renowned for this, the refusal to come on command. My two current standards, as well, just stare at me when I yell at them from across the meadow, "Come!"

.....They're too smart for their own good!! :rolleyes:

They are, aren't they? Makes training a hoot, since you have to be on your toes to keep them from getting bored! :D

We won't try an un-enforceable come for a long time yet (at least another six months of training it on a long line), but so far, he's done great. Both for "come" (our command) and "here" (our request). It takes *a lot* of time to train that one to use it as the life-saving, emergency recall that is ideal. (If he doesn't outgrow his puppy ADD very quickly, he might not be 2 until we test him off lead on come. ;) )

      Awaiting Biopsy results

      I have had my endoscopy this morning with biopsies. My consultant said that it looked like I did have coeliac disease from what he could see. I now have to wait 3 weeks for the biopsy results. Do I continue eating gluten till my follow appointment in three weeks.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area. I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain. That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral. It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes, see an ophthalmologist. They have...

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (

It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.
