Todays photo is of a ceramic bunny have in my kitchen. I think it is very cute! I like little bunnies & someday would like to have a real one for a pet but not while I have a dog.
I worked earlier. Everything went well, it was a good day, I only tripped on air once! :up: Some of the workers think my new frames look "smart & scholarly". :happy: Others didn't even realize they were new. 😦 One laughed at me so I'm not sure if that was good or bad. I'm finally getting used to them & like them. Its nice having a different look.
Unfortunately the weather is in the midst of changing & you know what that means. Stupid fibro! 😡 My back & legs are sore & stiff. I walked like Frankenstein all day.
Tomarrow it may be icy & snow. Its going to be a good day to stay in bed! :zzz:
Next week is HDs birthday. :hat: I don't know the exact date but I know its about that time. I chose the 17 – St. Patrick's Day – to celebrate it each year. I like to tease Hermit & say I'm going to throw a puppy party for HD. I never do, usually he just gets extra treats. I do have a cookbook from Three Dog Bakery so I could bake something special. Any ideas of how to celebrate my white shadows birthday? :hat: ⭐
I've begun preparing for the low-iodine diet (it begins on the 17th.) Sort of. I put a box out so I can pile all the things I'm allowed to eat in one place for easy prep. Tomarrow I hope to go grocery shopping for healthy fruits, veggies & whatever else comes to mind. I only have to do it for 10 days this time! Yippee!! I used to do it for 20+ days. (The diet is to deprive my body of iodine.) No fun but necessary.

Oh my gosh, I didn't have any idea that there was a lot of iodine in our food. Cute bunny 🙂

Oh yes! Its in salt & salt is in everything! Your thyroid needs it.

A friend of mine had two greyhound dogs and a bunny in the house. The bunny hissed and scared the dogs so he could take their favorite place. Here they sell salt with added iodine because in the past the lack of it (due to the poor diet and the water) lead to a typical disease in some places where iodine is scarce in the environment.

Americans eat so much salt! All the resturants add salt while cooking then many will add more once they eat. Any premade foods (from grocery stores) most always have salt already in them. Its hard to find salt free items, but there are a few things.I cook everything at home from fresh ingredients & no eating out or premade foods of any kind. Its hard not being able to eat dairy. Not being able to use eggs cuts down on a lot, including pasta! I eat plenty of brown rice during this time. I try to make bread but am not very good at it. I can make a flat bread & fry bread easily.

HD has a record of killing small animals so I would be afraid to have a bunny. That's funny, the vision of a little bunny scaring a big greyhound! 😆 They put iodine in the salt here too. I can buy noniodized salt & eat that but its standard that iodized is used & there's so much salt in the foods here, I can't risk messing up the expensive tests.
LorenzoCelsi said:
You can eat without salt. I don't add salt to anything but the water to cook pasta.What do you mean with there is much salt in food there?

I found this one:http://www.cc.nih.gov/ccc/patient_education/pepubs/lowio.pdf
Hermitess said:
Plus there is iodine in dairy products, breads & red food dye. That cuts much off of what I can eat :yikes:

:doh: lol I feel so slow now..of course it's salt! hehehe I really must have been tired. To be honest, I haven't heard it called iodine in a long time, but only msg or sodium. 🙂 I have to also eat a low salt diet due to my families history of blood pressure problems.

FibroSister I can relate to weather affecting your body being able to move. I feel like a walking weather station. I can predict the weather better than the weather guys.:lol: Even my hair gets in the act. When the rain is coming so does the frizz in my hair.:rolleyes: 😆 I live in Poregon so I have frizz all year round. Sometimes I have such big hair I have to go sideways through the door.:yikes: 😆 I love the little bunny. It is so cute. 😉

I would love that bunny—it would go with my Delft's blue stuff in my kitchen. (Dutch pottery)Neat about the diet..I hope it helps! :)Enjoy your celebration of HD's b-day! My sister actually went to a 'doggy party' with loot bags & everything…her pug was invited!! :lol:Anyhow.. yes…HD's breed is notorious for killing small animals. I will never have one on my farm… (forgive me for my brain fart but I forgot HD's breed–it's on the tip of my tongue!!!)I actually have a bunny in my house..Rocky really doesn't have a 'killer' bone in his body. :p :heart:
Hermitess said:
Speaking of bunnies, I bought HD a stuffed rabbit for his bday! I think he likes his hedgehog better. I'm going to go to Petco & get him a big dog biscuit also. :hat:
Hermitess said:
I got the bunny at Hobby Lobby. Do you have those in Canada?Post a photo of your bunny! 😀 please! I think they are soo cute. HD is a jack Russell terrier. The breed is intended to hunt small game & go under ground after them if necessary. So not bunny friendly! :sst: note to self: hide the ceramic bunny, it seems everyone wants it. 😉
DuckyChickenLady said:
No..we don't have a Hobby Lobby! 😦 😥 Sounds like a place I would LOVE!!!Here are a BUNCH of links to my Dexter's pics… we have only had him for just over a year now.Ooohh Yaaaaa..Jack Russell Terrier..Jack Russell Terrier…They are really cute.Go HEREAND hereAAAANNNDDDD HERE… :heart:

DuckyChickenLady said:
Thanks! I love looking at him..he is very cute. :love:Well..his feet look big since I took the pic in that angle…but they are pretty normal for a bunny.I am not sure how long they live to be honest.& You are welcome. 🙂 :heart:
