Ringo (puppy) is adorable and cuddly and playful. But he has no boundaries—-jumps in other dogs’ faces (so I supervise when he’s loose w Oscar!).
Tired today because puppy cried all night. He’s doing well with potty training! I always appreciate that. He has a few people that want to meet him. So hope for him that he finds his new family!
Next up, the tiny babies are 1-week old today. They get fixed at 8 weeks then they move to my house.
Jan- with the keto diet, do you test for your ketone levels? I just bought sticks and they say where the “optimal level “ is...i was much higher...and they don’t say if higher is bad. I’m going to ask the nutritionist tomorrow. So last night i ate carbs to bring my level down.1 -
Good Morning!!
I have the keto sticks,Val. Even when doing well I am like the square next to neutral. I would think if you were higher it would be good. Best ask..since I am not for sure!! Good luck with Ringo. I am sure he will settle in soon. Or maybe if you sleep with him and cuddle, lol...
Loved the two video's, Roger. Interesting pasta..I will have to try. I had pancakes and syrup for dinner. I ate so little today I got to make 2 batches! I had my bullet coffee and it carried me to 6 pm. With my cleaning I never missed my food! Craving are almost gone. Glad to be back on keto!! I did enjoy that chicken, but boy did I crave carbs after eating it!! Lost 5 of the 6 lbs I had gained from it, thankfully.
Cool about the deer!!
Val, sorry about that boss..hope someone else sets him straight!!
To bed..late as usual.

I'm back home from walking and 10 cents was found. The Temperature out the door was 37 degrees. However I suspect that may not be accurate as the snow I tested was crunchy as it was yesterday

No Boundaries
I believe You will train that out of Ringo.
The Potty Training is more important IMO FWIW.
Be careful with those darn Carbs they be a trigger based on my experience with them. And in my case the effects seem to linger for a few days where they cause cravings.
Good Luck

I am curious, some type of Pancakes and Syrup that are Keto friendly ? I know when my brother whips up a batch from scratch they are not low calorie or low carb and according to him only Real Maple Syrup is edible
Carbs have that effect on me too, Yesterday I had Chinese Takeout Chicken Wings and this morning my mind is wandering as to what foods I can go get or have delivered. Be Strong Roger ! I did Pick up a side order of Italian Sausage yesterday. The Sliced sausage is perfect for use in sandwiches and I intend to get several days of a mid day snack sandwich out of it and the Tomato Gravy AKA Sauce is tasty on its own and will likely be an addition to a meal for me.

Good morning!!
You found a dime. Yay!!!
The keto pancakes taste pretty good. They don't leave you with a taste for more carbs. They are not low calorie as you get 2 small to medium size pancakes for about 250 calories, more or less. I use sugar free Carey's syrup which may be a local brand. It tastes pretty good. Add a dollop of real butter and it is really good!! It has almond flour, B.P.,cream, oil, egg, vanilla nd some swerve for sweetness. They are a little fragile, but doable!!!
Yep, I am real carb sensitive! Still fighting a bit of carb craving withdrawal, but getting manageable again. I was worth that fried chicken!! The at home version dipped in almond flour is a good substitute though. It tastes close to breading! I need to remember that! Ha Ha!!
So much for peoples intelligence with Panera bread. The thought may have been nice, but people aren't. The thoughtful ones have a hard time supporting the jerks...
Hard to believe so many people are behind in their car payments. I guess I am just thankful I am not..It would scare me!!

Ringo slept very well last night...in a crate next to my bed. No crying—went right to sleep. Whimpered softly above midnight so i took him out to potty, then back to bed. I got up at 5, and took him out again.
Re him jumping on others...he’s a stubborn little fellow! We’re working on manners.
He is such a cuddly baby!
Met with my nutritionist. She’s happy with my progress and what I’m eating. She said to not worry about the high ketone levels because we know why it’s happening. I know I’m super carb-sensitive...so when i “ate carbs” to lower it, i inly had 1/2 a low-carb tortilla and a teaspoon of taco sauce (that brought me to the low end of optimal.
I told her that when i ate kale and spinach...my net carbs exceeded the limit...but she had said those were unlimited. She said i can really ignore the carbs in the veggies on the unlimited list. I can either log them and ignore the number or eat them without logging thrm. But not to worry.1 -

I seem to be finding more money now that the weather is somewhat warmer.
I had a feeling You did Keto Pancakes and Sugar free Syrup. I tried several Sugar Free Syrups when I Bought a Large amount of NS Pancake mix from someone on the Old NS forums, I did not find one that I liked even when I tried Brand names. I ended up putting a packet of sweetener into the Mix and adding some Maple Extract and I liked that better, they tasted like a Maple Syrup Pancake.
The Panera Bread results do not surprise me, There have been other experiments doing the same thing and they all ended up closed.
The amount of people behind in car payments was surprising, However when I think about some of the Car dealers advertisements where they say "No Credit, No Problem, We can get You approved" Then I am not surprised that people that have poor or no credit may be behind on their car payments. They likely have more important things in their lives such as Dining Out and a Movie
Car Payments would scare me TBH any more. I pay enough every month with the Utility bills
Have a Good Day

That sounds as if it is working, Stubbornness may be a harder problem, Good Luck with it.
Wow that little bit dropped You that much, You are very sensitive from the sound of it. When I say I am Carb sensitive I mean that they leave me with cravings for a few days.
Even unlimited can be bad if taken to an extreme, IMO You are right to ask about them. The Problem with green vegetables happens when they interact with certain medications.

I like that term, Hoover Switch, So True here too and Too many Carbs also.
Beat the crowd at the store ? Having the weeks foods ready to use is a handy thing, I used to do that when I was brown bagging it. I would go Sunday and either find things in the Hot Food Section and or other items that I could prep ahead and if possible freeze so I could grab and go as I headed out the door for work.
That has the ring of truth, Re Ringo.

Snow in the forecast for this week, Tonight into Monday and Wednesday at a minimum
You might be right about the better weather, if so this upcoming snow will slow that down.
Pass on Rodents here too.
Thinking ahead with the cooking, smart
Clean the Car, What's that ? Seriously are You talking the interior or exterior ? Either way do they have car detailing that is reasonably priced where You are ?

Good morning.
Another pretty day. Guess the rain will start this week. Long church day, but ate keto..so a good thing.
I really do not see how a restaurant or retailer could turn down either cash or cards. Where is common sense? I know you are relieved the no cash is not in force. That seems just dumb to be...cash is money!!
Loved the keto clips, all of them. I can not wait to do the egg one especially, asI feel I will use that alot. radishes that are baked are delious as opposed to raw to me. I am not fond of too peppery a radish, and that is all we get down here. One time I found a pink sweet radish..but never saw them again. Miss hash browns too..so what is not to love? Always can eat cheesecake- both looked yummy. I like his videos as you get the best of the best recipes. There are some awful ones, especially the old first attempts at stuff!!
Thanks for finding them!!
Just needed to vacuum the car floor. They always get really dirty due to leaves. Also I never seem to have quarters lately as I am lazy and go to the car wash!! Their machine takes 4 quarters. I was too lazy to do my own shop vac job....maybe tomorrow!!
Take care!! ...Jan1 -

Congratulations on eating Keto at church I'm sure the food selection was loaded with non keto temptations.
I shall be very unhappy if I have to limit where I shop if they will not take cash in the future. Paying cash is one of the methods I use to control spending, When You can just wave a credit or debit card as You spend that makes it easy to overspend. I can see one reason to go cashless, I shall explain If You do not accept cash the crooks are less likely to rob the place. They claim that going cashless is faster, I do not know, I do know that people can order Duncan Donuts coffees and have them waiting when they get there in the pickup area as the App handles the payment at the time of the order occurring.
I agree many of the radishes tend to get hot, I'm not sure about all of the varieties such as Watermelon Radishes.
And I thought that maybe the Pizza or Hashbrown recipes would be more interesting, The Cheesecake looks like an involved process, Maybe as a once in a blue moon type food ?
Today we got lucky and all that is falling here is rain and not snow, possibility of Snow on Wednesday too
I get my rolled coins from my brother, he always puts his change in a coin jar at the end of the day and then rolls them up, I use exact change when I buy my coffee so I use my coins and tend to not get that many to start with.
