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!

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...

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 )

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.

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!

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:

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.

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!

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

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By trents · Posted

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣

      Oats gluten free?

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, Lori, we can agree on the term "gluten-like". My concern here is that you and other celiacs who do experience celiac reactions to other grains besides wheat, barley and rye are trying to make this normative for the whole celiac community when it isn't. And using the term "gluten" to refer to these other grain proteins is going to be confusing to new celiacs trying to figure out what grains they actually do need to avoid and which they don't. Your experience is not normative so please don't proselytize as if it were.
