Blue, once again as far as the eye can see.... We did have a dip into the greens last night. This cycle was almost a duplicate of the night before... the night before when he went green I fed a 7% and still had a 20 point drop on the next test. Last night I got a 15 point rise... never assume what worked one day will work the next. :lol: I find it interesting too that now Mannie responds more to the 7% fuds than he used to. I fed that in the morning with the 121, as Nicholas and I would be gone for most of the morning. We came home to a high blue. Maybe I need to rethink carbs a little, just try the regular 4%... and experiment for a day when I am home.... nice job yesterday Mannie -YAY! LUBS ya big guy! cat_pet_icon

The kitty choir failed me this morning... overslept 30 minutes, again.... :roll: :shock: Sheshhhhhh.... Lead singer BJ was at the top of the stairs, singing her tale of woe... what happened to the in the face bellows and claws on the arm, the wet nose on my face? Huh???? :shock: The other two, Elsa and Mannie, were waiting, silently by their bowls. Of course once I made the kitchen there were endless protests! :? "It was not my fault", I gently reminded them, "you guys failed in your duties..." They did not care, and the complaints continued... I could not serve fast enough... :roll: :roll: strangely enough we had no whacking this morning... They must have been too focused on their starving tummies... :lol: :lol: This morning was the first time in ages that I have had trouble with a pokie :shock: three times it took before that itsy bitsy tiny drop made an appearance... Mannie was not happy :evil: : hissed he did... Poor guy... all had been forgiven though, pokie for +1.5 went off without an issue, and the purrs have returned. :razz: All is once again well in MannieLand: full bellies, sun has risen, napping in progress: full body spread over the nanners. Life is good.

Have a great day everyone! I am off later this morning to see the new Harry Potter with my eldest DS. Looking forward to that - YAY!!

And completely OT: here are some photos of yesterdays hike with my DGS. What a gorgeous hike this was - perfect for the little guy. The full album should be included in the Hike Photo link in my signature line later this morning... nice place, isn't it?

My friends!!!! What a great day yesterday! KTSS for Rocket, and Willie's bean... a picnic.... and a midnite pool party at Gracie's. SWEET! What shall we do today? Maybe a kitty hike somewhere, or some mountain hang gliding, or maybe some fishing, or sailing was such fun - maybe that? I dunno! Help! I can't decide... See you guys!! ~~ Mannie

Re: 7/30 Mannie AMPS 182, +1.5 200

What beautiful pictures. That first one should be blown up and framed. It made me feel 5 degrees cooler just looking at it.

I overslept this morning, too. It's a Saturday thing, for me. Maybe my cats know it's a Saturday and let me once a week.

Re: 7/30 Mannie AMPS 182, +1.5 200

Mannie is just proving he is a CAT and will do what he wants. I agree on the carbs. I had to be very careful with Tuffy she reacted to carbs.

Pictures are great. Love the smile on Nicholas. He certainly is an outdoor boy. Wait till he is mobile. LOL

Re: 7/30 Mannie AMPS 182, +1.5 200

Gorgeous pictures Michelle!! I love the pic of DGS, soooo cute. Is this place close to your house?

What the heck happened to the kitty choir this morning?!?! I guess it is Caturday and maybe they were kinda tired as well. Poooey on the pokies, i guess it does happen every once in awhile tho.

Enjoy Harry Potter and have a great day

Re: 7/30 Mannie AMPS 182, +1.5 200

Hi Michelle, sorry I missed your post last night; I conked out early! Not even Maggie with her mouse pole toy could wake me! What beautiful pictures of the waterfall and creek on your hike. Nicholas is such a cutie, and we can tell how much he loves your times together. I have trouble with Maggie's ear first thing in the morning also, and it sometimes takes three or four pokes. She jerks away from me. It's amazing how quickly they forgive and forget! What, no kitty choir this morning! Enjoy your movie time with DS, how fun! It's a move I plan on seeing soon. I'll be interested in your thoughts on it.

Hey Mannie yesterday was nice with the KTSS visiting Rocket and Willie's Bean and the picnic and pool party. I think some fishing and then a cookout would be one fun thing. Let's see what the others suggest. Gracie's pool is always lots of fun, too. See ya soon after everyone is rounded up, Maggie

Re: 7/30 Mannie AMPS 182, +1.5 200, 4 122

122 @ +4. NICE!!, and Go Mannie!!

Hi Dyana - thanks for the visit! Thanks on the photos - it was really a very nice place. And YES on the temps - with all that water and the falls is was nice and cool there. I wish I could send some of that cool to all those that are so hot today... oooooo what I would give to be allowed to oversleep some... sometimes I think I need to change Mannie's shoot time so that it's not the first thing I do.... :roll:

Morning Barbara - I am so glad to see that you are back online after all that has gone on there is sunny HOT FL. Glad that all is back in order, even if it did take three weeks... :shock: -- and thanks on the carbs - I think Mannie has reached the point where the higher carb stuff is now too much... It's been a while since I have even had to use a true HC when he is low., Good, I think! -- isn't that DGS smile awesome? One very happy little boy. Mobility is just around the corner: up on all fours now, we are waiting for him to put it all together. LOL, and omg!

Hi Tracy - Thanks on the photos! Awesome place, it was hard to take a bad one... :lol: Most of the places I visit are within an hours drive, up by the mountain passes, all are very easy, for the most part, to get to. Lucky! -- I dunno on the kitty choir!!! :shock: :shock: They must have known it was Caturday?? weird as BJ is in a constant state of thinking she needs food, the little hoover, she just doesn't miss a chance to make sure I know it's time to eat... the morning pokies for me are the worst - just the first one,... guess I am just not awake enough. :lol: :lol: and thanks on potter - YES!

Hi Ann, and Miss Maggie - no problem on the post - it was a very late one, even for me.... and thank on the photos. DGS had a great time - it was a great choice to a hike for him. I was happy to see that I could get him down to the creeks edge - much more to experience then. -- and yes on the pokie - the very first one...i am still trying to wake up, it can be a challenge. Poor Mannie!, but he does take it all in stride. -- I will try and remember to let you know on potter - should I forget, let me know!

Hey Maggie - ok let's do it! Fishing!! I lubs it. I can pick you up, we got great streams here for that. oooo on the cookout! Ok too on the others... YAY: could be lots to do today... SWEET! See you soon! ~~ Mannie

Re: 7/30 Mannie AMPS 182, +1.5 200, 4 122

i'm just gonna hang out in your condo all day!

what great laughs and gorgeous pics!

Re: 7/30 Mannie AMPS 182, +1.5 200, 4 122, +5 142

142 @ +5. hmmmmm.... up some, and the greens are aborted once again.... that's ok- lots of time yet to get there. Surf well Mannie! :razz:

Hi Celi - thanks! Never a dull moment here. :lol: :lol: and thanks on the pics!

OFF TO POTTER!! SWEET!!! and thanks Mannie for giving me my permission slip....

Re: 7/30 Mannie AMPS 182, +1.5 200, 4 122, +5 142

Hope you have a great time, Michelle! I want to re-read the last book and watch all the movies before I go! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Pics were amazing... especially smiling Nicholas!! Absolutely adorable. Big thanks to the KTSS crew. That soup is GOOD!

Hey, guyz... I tink I'd bedder keep an eye on de bean today, but iz supposed to be nice here tonite. Another round of kitty croquet an' den some fountain crashin? --Willie

Re: 7/30 Mannie AMPS 182, +1.5 200, 4 122, +5 142

Nicholas is soooooooo cute!! Pix are amazing, no wonder he is smiling!
Mannie is doing his usual slidage into blue--Let's see where he goes today-
Hgs & Lubs from us!

Re: 7/30 Mannie AMPS 182, +1.5 200, 4 122, +5 142

Another set of lovely, lovely numbers for Mannie!!! It's so great to see him so FLAT!!!! YAY.....you've worked so hard at fine tuning this and his food!!! Hope the 4% will work....worth a try!

What great photos...beautiful and what a smile is right!!!! Babies are so adorable when they start smiling because they are happy and not just because of gas :lol: :lol: :lol:

I hope you are enjoying the movie and being out with DS!!! Have a great day.

And no wonder I'm so tired today.....the kitties were so loud out by the pool that I think I slept restlessly.

Mannie...hanggliding sounds great....we just gotta watch Tobey. He has a spirit of adventure!

Re: 7/30 Mannie AMPS 182, +1.5 200, 4 122, +5 142

Nice run of blues there Mannie. Tess seems to be hanging out with him today.

Hmmmm, i thought that i posted earlier. oh well, What gorgeous pics, but yours usually are. Nicholas is such a cutie, so great that he loves the outdoors as much as you do.

Mannie, I missed the party last night. Silly bean fell asleep and daddy bean hogged the puter! cat(2)_steam cat(2)_steam . Fishing sounds great! -- Tess

Re: 7/30 Mannie AMPS 182, +1.5 200, 4 122, +8.5 202, +11 226

Nothing wrong with blues....

Wonderful pictures too! It's been way too hot here to even walk the dogs.

Re: 7/30 Mannie +11 226, PMPS 221

oh what a bad bean!! I forgot to post Mannie's PMPS... anyways... 221 @ pmps. and back to yellow. sorry to b so MIA - just can't seem to get any further than keeping Mannie updated. sheshshh!

Hi Beth - I like these cycles he's been having - you are right: nothing wrong with the blues. he's been so consistent, and that is really niche to see. I still can remember all those diving and bouncing cycles - the rainbow bandit so earned his name! thx on the pics! sorry for teh HOT - I keep hoping you guys will get some relief soon...

Hi Christie - i liked the movie - good stuff. But I wish I had re-read the book, or at least watch the last movie... I had forgotten a few things. But it was good, and very Harry Potter. and thanks on the pics - a real cutie dgs is! Always with a smile...
Auntie Christie??? The soup was OK? We was so worried about you - I hope it made you better!~~ Mannie

Hi Roni - thanks - he really is alot of fun. He has such a good time when we go on these little hikes. He is especially fond of the water ones. -- and well... we were blue sliding, but it seems he found a detour to the yellows. Well maybe he'll get back on track tonight. paws crossed!

Hi Marje - i so agree on the flat stuff - we have a few bumps today, but over all - what a great thing that is. We shall see what he decides to go with all this flatness - for a while the cycles were getting to be a lower flat line each day, but we seem to have bypassed that. It would be so nice to see him find the greens on his own, without the added juice. well - will give it a few days, as Mannie seems to like to take his time, and see what he does with it. -- thanks on the photos! and yes - his smile is a genuine one. love it when it spreads from ear to ear. -- and thanks - had a great time with the kid, liked the movie, but I am a potter fan, anything along that type of genre. love sci-fi, etc...
Auntie Marje??? I am sorry we were so loud.... i uhhhhhh well uhhhhhh.... sorry... we was having so much fun! Tobey was doing cannon balls in the pool, it was so funny. and I started a floatie race that well was... a little noisy... ~~ Mannie

Hi Ann- i like the clues... he did well for a bit, but seems to have moved him to the yellow floor for a bit... silly boy! I Hope that Tess doesn't follow.... i know on the posting thing - happens to me all the time... oh well, and it's OK - no worries here! Thanks on the pics! It is nice that DGS likes something that I do - makes it so easy to find things to do with him, short of the normal toy play etc... we spend alot of time outdoors. SWEET!

Tess - it's ok.... them beans I tell ya!! Either asleep on the job, or hogging the 'puter when they know we have a social agenda to keep going, ya know! Mine does the same thing!! It is so annoying!!! Hmmph! So yeah... let's go fish! and then some hang-gliding. Hey - we gots kitty croquet at Willie's!! AWESOME!!! ~~ Mannie

Gracie - that would be great!! i I LUBS hang-gliding!! We can do that once we catch all those fish - you wanna come fishing? Maggie and I are going... hey - kitty croquet at Willie's tonight! and fountain crashing! see you! ~~ Mannie

Willie - dude!! that is SO COOL!! Kitty croquet tonight at Willie's - I will get the gang... that would be an affirmative on the fountain crashing1 EXCELLENT! ~~ Mannie

Re: 7/30 Mannie +11 226, PMPS 221, +2 153

153 @ +2.. and down we go.

Re: 7/30 Mannie +11 226, PMPS 221, +2 153

SWEET!!!!

Re: 7/30 Mannie +11 226, PMPS 221, +2 153

Looks like a blue stretch for the evening, too. Beautiful pictures,beautiful-er GS

Re: 7/30 Mannie +11 226, PMPS 221, +2 153

REgular as clockwork!!! And tell him the noise last night was ok...I napped today. But he is responsible if Tobey gets hurt doing cannon balls! :shock: :shock: I hope he made sure Tobes had his water wings on.

Glad you enjoyed the movie!!!!


Mannie....I love to eat fish but eeewwwwww....I don't like to catch them!! I'm a PRINCESS..remember????

Re: 7/30 Mannie PMPS 221, +2 153, +3 118

Mannie's having a pretty nice day!!! I LOVE the picture of Nicholas. He has the most wonderful smile!!!

I'm having trouble figuring out carbs with Champ lately, too. He's not reacting to the different percentages like he used to. Nothing like keeping us on our toes!!!

Re: 7/30 Mannie PMPS 221, +2 153, +3 118

118 @ +3 SWEET!

Hey Celi - that it is! LOVE IT!

Hi Bev - so far so good tonight - blue it is... greens are hinted at, maybe he can make it there. And thanks - DGS is indeed a joy! thanks too on the pics - exceptionally nice place!

Hi Marje - :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: on the cannonballs!! Mannie said he had on 6 water wings: all fours and his tail and his neck. all bases covered! and thanks - looks like a good cycle brewing... AWESOME!

hi Patty - thanks - I think so too on the smile - it is so genuine, just warms your heart. What a sweet boy. -- and I know on the fuds. I suppose that it is good that he doesn't need as many carbs, but I have to really think/evaluate when I feed when he heads down... making some errors, but at least he doesn't skyrocket too bad when I do. things have changed in how he reacts. never a dull moment... :lol:

Gracie Gracie, Gracie... OK. You don't have to catch any fish. You can be in charge of quality control... making sure what we catch is good stuff... you don't even have to touch them! I forgot on the princess thing... sorry! ~~ Mannie

Re: 7/30 Mannie PMPS 221, +2 153, +3 118, +4 103

103 @ +4. SO CLOSE!!!

Re: 7/30 Mannie PMPS 221, +2 153, +3 118, +4 103

Way to go, Mannie!! Think GREEN tonight!

Michelle, those are fantastic pictures of your hike yesterday. Nicholas is such a cutie. He looks like he is having a wonderful time by the creek.

Sorry to be mia today. Got discouraged at my fur shot this morning (didn't find out about it until +9) and then I thought I gave another one this evening, but maybe I didn't. spent the evening watching an old, classic movie on TV.
Paddle was great.
See you tomorrow,

Ella & Rusty

Re: 7/30 Mannie PMPS 221, +2 153, +3 118, +4 103

Veeeerrrrrra Nice! I'm holding my breath for the next test! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Ooooooo! Kitty Croquet! I get the blue ball! I been blue all day! -- Tess

Re: 7/30 Mannie PMPS 221, +3 118, +4 103, +5 88

88@ +5. YAY!! He made it. Well done Mannie!! :mrgreen:

Hi Ella - Thank on the photos -it was a good one for both of us. I don't get much out of them in terms of miles hiked, but it is so worth it in so many other ways. He's loving this, and it just doesn't matter that we only get in a few miles, that it takes twice as long to do anything. That pic of him says it all. No worries in teh MIA - I have been too - I just could never get to condos!! no clue where my day went... bothersome, but I hope all will understand. And don't be discouraged - i can remember days when I couldn't get blood, sometimes it took 6 tries, and this was after having done this for so long... it will be ok - you'll figure it out. I think we have all been there in one form or another.

Hi Ann - YAY!! GREEN!!! I like the 80's... I hope he stays there... OK Mannie? this really works for your tired ole bean....

Tess - I LUBS kitty croquet. I hope we get to do some fountain diving too... that sounded like fun. Let's go!! Oh - OK, you can have the blue ball... I want the blue ad green and yellow stripped one. I hope they have one like that... ~~ Mannie

Re: 7/30 Mannie PMPS 221, +3 118, +4 103, +5 88, +5.5 92

92 @ +5.5, I did not feed this. the +5 was fed with a 4% LC

Re: 7/30 Mannie PMPS 221, +3 118, +4 103, +5 88

WOOT!!!

Re: 7/30 Mannie PMPS 221, +3 118, +4 103, +5 88, +5.5 92

Fabulous!!! Mannie gets his green!!

Hi Ann! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Hi Marje - green it is. WOOT! I had though the +5.5 was going to be it... decided I could wait another 30 minutes. Guess it is good I did... aiyee! no early to bed for me. :lol: :lol:

Re: 7/30 Mannie PMPS 221, +4 103, +5 88, +5.5 92, +6 77, +6.

87 @ +6.5, i did not feed this. DH will feed Mannie a small tsp 4% at +7.5. He should be fine until morning. I am soooooooooo tired, and am off to bed. See you all in the morning!

NI NI!
