Those are Puffins Susan! Aren't they so cute. That little island is their nesting ground.
There are some white caps from the water is some pictures, tons of birds all over the place and then in some of the pictures, there are multiple icebergs.
It was pretty amazing to see.
Hope things are going well. Did you get Bailey into the vet for the allergies?

Finally had a chance to see your vaca pixes:):) What a wonderful trip!!!!!:):):):):):):)
The birds were totally cool, the ice bergs, the mist and fog, everything looked great!!! Just a lovely trip.
How is Molly? Has she adjusted to the melatonin?
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
She gets sleepy about 1/2 an hour or so after she takes it. Stays a bit sleepy, not lethargic, just sleepy for a couple hours maybe, maybe less, then back to miss perky.
Yea it was a pretty neat place to see. The people are some of the nicest I have ever met anywhere. Every single one, even the panhandlers where nice and would help you, give you directions, ask how your day was, it was pretty great and that was without asking for money. I think every 2nd person knows how to play a musical instrument. Music is a huge party of the Newfoundlander or Newfie's life.

Do we have anything on the HMR lignans lowering cortisol. I've been reading about the HSD enzyme and U of Tenn, says it effectively lowers cortisol. (21-hydroxylase enzyme)

Yes that but I went with the HMR lignans. Better absorption. Less digestive issues.
I saw that one since we are on the u of tenn regimen of treatment following the testing. What would be fabulous is if there was a study on it since I didn't actually expect that cortisol would be lowered only the higher sex hormones. I guess that Tennessee wouldn't have said it could lower cortisol though if it couldn't. Interesting. I saw it though on the lignans for life website and am looking for other info to back it up.

Me too hope Molly had a good week and hasn't been too sleepy on the meds.
Hope you had a good week at work and got in plenty of snuggle time with Molly :D
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Molly is doing good on her pills. The sleepy doesn't last very long and I think she is adjusting to it very well.
Great weather here. I will be doing some gardening here coming up as yes you guessed it... Big party coming up first of sept at our house. Hubby said he is getting a one man band. I am gob smacked at the ideas he comes up with. Rofl.
