Wow! Thanks Tiffany! I really appreciate the time you took to write that. :) Yes we will definitely crate train. We are also going to take obedience classes, but I'm pretty sure that we cannot really afford it until after Christmas. ;) You have given me more than enough information to get me started!

They ususally don't recommend obedience training at 10 weeks anyways - they need to be a little bit more mature before you start. Most places have recommendations for ages. But you can do plenty of training - sit, down, stay, etc. without obedience, luckily!

Half poodle half maltese is what we had growing up. She was great and never shed. She was toy-sized but her litter mates were all medium sized dogs. They have great temperment. She was also very smart, loved kids and playing with cats. Her best friend was an orange tabby. lol

With such a young, smart dog, you may well find that it's more about training you, and the family, than the dog, strictly speaking! :D hehehe. My husband and I "conference" on our training consistency and technique (within the bounds of what we know) all the time. (With a family, I find this is a good idea - you can see what works for other people, where the family may be sending mixed signals, and generally train more efficiently. Turns out that our slightly different methods for training controlled walking were making things go more slowly than they needed to. I needed to be firmer in my physical corrections (for walks, he needs strong ones, for other things, not so much), and he started using "stop and stand like a tree" along with the physical correction for pulling. This can be a great way to remove what the dog wants (to go forward and explore something interesting).)

Do let us know how things are going with the puppy, share pics and all that! :) (Open Original Shared Link)

(I can sneak in a few questions to the trainer we're working with if they're remotely close to something Neo might do too. ;) )

Congratulations! There is nothing like a puppy! Our dog Petunia (the chihuahua) is about 7 months now and the picture-taking has finally slowed down. ;) My husband made fun of me because I must have had several hundred of her younger days. She's just so darn cute.

Thanks for the training info, tarnalberry, very good for reinforcing what we've been working on too. I am hoping to get Petunia in another class after the holidays, but you are right, Jenny, it is pricey. :( Petunia was really too young, looking back, to do some of the things they told us in Puppy class, but now I think things would go better.

Good luck potty training! I'm sure it will go great. :)

Ok... Let me chime in.. Pugs are going to be a good choice for kids and other animals. Also if you need a hypoallergenic the Bichon Frise is great for families..Good Luck!!

Thank you! We love him so much! The breeder named him Ty, and we did not change it. He already knew his name, and we could not decide on a better one.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
