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. ;) )

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
