Good Caturday Morning Lantus Land!

Yesterday's Condo: http://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=40650

Awww.....open windows are a requirement this weekend. We have the first of the "hot, spring-like" weather rolling through! Yes, our wise weatherman Dick Goddard is predicting 80F! So in between pet sits I plan on getting the cold frame set up in the backyard and risk starting some of the cold weather veggies in it! I can't wait for lettuce! 80 and a cold frame? Well real planting around here doesn't start until after Memorial Day as we've been known for frost until that time. Two years ago we had 18 inches of snow the second week of May!

I brought some Forsythia branches in the other day to force open...guess the ones in the yard will be bursting open this weekend!

Attie's numbers continue to hold and we're shooting for the overlap again for the 3rd. cycle :mrgreen: One stinkin' drop this way or that! Of course he would be in-between, in-between the dose lines. 2.5 skinny!

Gary of course is being incorrigible! If he hears me at all ...he starts up his racket! OMG.... :shock: Between his midnight yowling and his ...I hear you meowing.... Monday isn't going to come fast enough. I do believe the den bonding is working...too well. He even sat in my lap and let me pick him up last night. He is getting well attached and that is good, as MudCat isn't. The minute she could connect up with Krueger(GA) at the time...I was second fiddle.

Well the collars didn't last too long.... :cry: Skinny mini MudCat managed to get her front paw and shoulder through hers. It was so tightly stuck I had to cut it off with scissors. I don't think they make a collar small enough for her to not manage to get tangled in it! Krueger(GA) hated collars so badly ...he would actually even pull them off other cats! Awww....well. Chips anyone?


Edit PS:...........OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! The Barred Owl is calling in the backyard this morning!!!!

Nice day today.

Warmer, the new garden bed installed, 400lbs. of soil, still have the new side bed to install, but that one will be much more challenging as it needs to be turned and leveled.

Attie continues on in his surf and right now is enjoying his evening sunbeam, taking a satisfactory sunbathe. Fed, watered, 6 strokes of the curry brush before I lost my hand....

Perhaps those rose gloves I where in the garden might be beneficial as claw gloves?

You mean microchips, right? All my cats have always worn collars. Both my cats have 3 or 4 bells and a tag or two, but I also have my cats microchipped just in case their collars should somehow come off and they were to get lost.

Yes, it was a beautiful day, today. I'm glad I had it off.
Maybe, if you gave him a treat each time, whether the brushing was successful, or not

Now, I have to go looking through your condos to find out what Monday has in store.. for Gary? I'm glad he's becoming fond of you.

Awww....warms my heart to read that Gary is acclimating so well. Fingers and paws crossed that Monday's snip goes well!! Weather is beautiful here today as well. About to go for a jog! Hope you guys have a great night!

Your weather sounds like ours. We're expecting 80's tomorrow but with rain! I've got the windows open, too.

I hope Atlas continues with these pretty numbers!

Attie is looking great!!! Thanks so much for the info on the FS meter; I'm sending this one back if they'll take it. Sienne gave me a link to Consumer Reports and the OT Ultra Mini that I use was ranked the best with the Contour right behind; FS way down the list. Interesting what you found out about it.

Good thing Mud Cat didn't strangle herself!! How do you sleep with Gary's yowling??

So funny that everyone is having warm weather but us....it's been cold and rainy all day but we needed it. It will be warm and sunny again tomorrow.
