Yes, they do have 7 crates lined up in a row, empty and waiting
OK you liked the tummy video, so I will post some more! This was a sensory toy lent by a neighbor who has Swiss Mt. Dogs, so the scale is large. I wasn't sure how the pups would react...
Our Mini pups are 4 1/2 weeks old. Wanna see puppy tummies?
youtube.comFolks often ask about enzymes in pill vs powder form. This is from FODZYME, from a recent email. The linked article is from a dietitian+
"Ever wondered how FODZYME takes the sting out of trigger foods?
Here’s the tl;dr: our digestive enzymes break down FODMAPs—that’s fructan, GOS, and lactose—into more digestible carbohydrates.*
In order to do this, however, they need to make direct contact with the food. That’s why we recommend sprinkling FODZYME directly onto your meal or taking it with your first few bites. Taking it too early (or too late) doesn’t have the same effect.
🤓 If you’re a nerd (complimentary), you can dive deeper into the science of digestive enzymes with us."
I was watching Bullet do his spin turn and it made me think of how that was one of Nora's "tricks" for her Trick Title. Did you know that you can get an AKC Trick Title remotely via video! I can hook you up with an evaluator! LMK if you want info.
It's Day 14, and I thought you would get a kick out of a nursing video. Mama Nora is so patient with them and their eyes are "just" about to open! This video is from a few days ago.
We have names. The dark brindle nearest the camera is Starla, then Edie (both girls), then brindle girl Glow, and brindle Frank Sinatra. White boys Sol and Castor, and girl Lux are underneath!
Have you listened to the free Nerva gut-brain podcast? Tons of great info:+
linktr.eeWho wants to see newborn Minis? This is within 1 hour of birth. And they have separated themselves by color, which we see very often+
For those wondering. It is a curious thing to see BTs and MBTs separate themselves into whites and coloreds.
My theory is that pigment has a smell.
When I teach chocolate tasting classes, there is a chocolate called porcelana, which lacks pigment. It is devoid of anthocyanins, which are pigments, and it is also devoid of bitterness. If pigment can have a taste, why not a smell? That's my theory, anyway...
My final "Celestial" themed mani. Settled on ILNP Countdown for the base+
which is appropriate since we are counting down the days until the puppies arrive with the "celestial” themed litter. I am intent on naming a girl "Starla!" The doodads are not really my typical thing, but I am having fun.

The very first nail art I ever did was to celebrate the bicentennial in the 1970s. I had red and white and blue and I think I used a little toothpick and made quite satisfactory little flags.+
I didn’t even know when I planned my manicure for today that people were doing green swampy manicures and I would’ve jumped on that bandwagon, but I had already applied a red OPI and a blue ILNP. I was gonna call it a day. But I went to my nail girl who does my pedicure and she couldn’t resist! So she embellished.
Anyone have EdM Knight in Armour and ILNP Bubbly? Looking for a comparison
reddit.comPuzzle for you! We are expecting puppies and the theme is the Celestial litter. I want to have a mani the day they arrive that is thematic, but I am not a blue mani person! +
The image shows the pup announcement and I ordered Nora that collar and I will bling it out with gold rhinestones. Looked at ILNP Alice, which is blue and gold magnetic, but...it's blue! HELP! Need ideas.
NEW ILNP Halo. So interesting. Gold, silver, lavender, green and reddish
ILNP Canvas with decals plus a story.
When I was in seventh grade, I had an amazing best friend named Liz. We were absolutely inseparable. She moved away from New York to California in eighth grade and we stayed in touch for a while but eventually lost touch. That would’ve been 1974 when I last saw her. Fast-forward 1986, at that point we had totally lost touch. My ex-husband and I drove from Massachusetts to California on a trip with our one and a half year-old daughter to visit his sister. On the last day in San Francisco, we were walking around and we had a timeframe because we had to get to the airport to get our redeye home. We were headed back to where we had parked our car and I could see that there was a store on the next block that had gym clothing, leotards that sort of a thing and I said to him I just really wanna go into the store. There was something about the store that was calling me. So we walked in and there was my girlfriend Liz working behind the counter. Huge reunion tears and laughter and hugs and the whole bit and then I looked at her hands and she was wearing white nail polish. Now, I was also wearing white nail polish and it was something that I did quite a bit and I didn’t know anyone else who did that!. I have not worn white nail polish in a very long time, but I needed one more bottle when I was doing my last shop recently to get free shipping and I decided it was about time. I made an homage to preteen friendship. I tried to look her up online and I can’t find her anywhere so wherever you are, Liz, this is for you.
I bet some of you have spent money on a probiotic or microbiome test that didn't help—or made things more confusing. The gut health industry is projected to keep growing rapidly, with more probiotics, microbiome tests, personalized nutrition programs, and digestive supplements entering the market+
every year.
As someone who works in the IBS space, I think it's important to ask a simple question: Does a booming market mean better science?
In our latest article, we look at the evidence behind some of today's most popular gut health trends, including probiotics and consumer microbiome testing, and discuss why people with IBS should approach many claims with a healthy dose of skepticism.
One key takeaway: the goal isn't to achieve a "perfect microbiome." The goal is to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
My favorite takeaway? SKIP the home microbiome tests, and, probiotics are very often not the answer.
