Interesting repeating pattern here for Mannie for the past six days... so much blue, ending with nice PM cycles, some into the greens. All in all I love the consistency of it all. And all that blue. We have had a few yellow bumps, but I really hope that this is the beginning of lower overall even cycles that will eventually start becoming green ones. Guess we shall see what the Nanner King decides to do. Today sure is starting out like yesterday - might be a good thing - he had such a nice green cycle last night. It was just so nice to see it all controlled with just a 4% LC. Well done Mannie! cat_pet_icon

Yesterday was such a sunny warm day... Today we are back to the drizzle gray gloomy yuck out there... what a fine misty rain... with that comes sleepy kitties. Well duh.... and the kitty choir??? they overslept - oh the horrors!! :shock: I thought that was my role.... good thing that my internal I need coffee clock woke me up. I found them just waking up when I made it up the stairs to the kitchen. :lol: :lol: My turn to noisily get their jets revved up. We had a good test feed and shoot this morning - way better than yesterday. Breffis must have been awesome - clean plate club record set, major face washing followed. the auto feeder is still being ignored - nothing new there.. silly boy! Hey - no civvie whacking today - they were too sleepy... :lol: :lol: Mannie has retired for the morning to the nanner pile... time for some cooler temp rainy morning sleeping. :razz: :razz:

Have a great day everyone! Not too sure what will transpire her today. I hope I can do better with condos today... I've been way too MIA. Enjoy your day, everyone!

My friends!! it is raining here.... what a bummer!! I think I need some sun. maybe we could just go the the beach again. Anybody got anything they wanna do? Let me know - I am ready for anything! ~~ Mannie

Re: 7/31 Mannie AMPS 176, +2 208

Ok, Nanner King, time to turn around again. Tess says you can have the blue croquet ball back.

Mannie, we haven't gone dune sliding in a while. It is still gray here though. Maybe later? -- Tess

Re: 7/31 Mannie AMPS 176, +2 208

drizzle? say it ain't so! i need to send you some of the blue sky here - not sure what's up with that, but it is almost august, so i guess blue sky shouldn't be too shocking! :lol:

great news that mannie is flattening out - wonder what's in store now?

enjoy your sunday off!

Re: 7/31 Mannie AMPS 176, +2 208, +4 146

146 @ +4 - YAY!! back to the blues...

Hi Julie - yeah... more drizzle today. yesterday was sunny and warm at 75. We all hope that today is a temporary set back, and that the sun will return tomorrow... oh I know on the flattening, and what will be nest... I am hoping for steady greens so we can begin to think about dose reduction. Knowing Mannie though he will take his sweet tine getting there, which is fine.

Hi Ann - I found him reading posts again... guess he decided you ere right, and back to the blues... Now if he can just stay there, head to the green lagoon maybe. paws crossed!

Hey Tess - ooooooo you are so right!! Dune sliding is so much fun - even more fun when we try to get all that sand out of our fur. Ok then on later - maybe this afternoon! See you then ~~ Mannie

Re: 7/31 Mannie AMPS 176, +2 208, +4 146

Well those are some pretty nice numbers for the Manster, and i hope he has a nice sleepy Sunday.

Re: 7/31 Mannie AMPS 176, +2 208, +4 146

Hi Michelle, looking good today for Mannie, and hope he sails the blues and greens, too. We had some drizzle showers this morning, and I am so excited to see a little rain, nice and cloudy, too. I should hurry and get my walk in before the sun arrives! I can't believe the kitty choir slept in, unbelievable!

Hi Mannie, dune sliding sounds good and then a cookout later. Cloudy right now but later sunny, Maggie

Re: 7/31 Mannie AMPS 176, +2 208, +4 146

Hi Michelle and Mannie: Thanks for visiting Tuffy. I would love some of that rain you are having (just a nice soft one) at this point. Still so hot here. Came home from the barn and got in the shower with my clothes on. Mannie, I hope you are thinking green lagoon, after all you come from a swimming family.

Thanks for your thoughts for Peter and my son. Being involved in swimming you know how tedious it is. Peter trains hard and is in the top 45 in the country so I have everything crossed. You are right about the puter. I'll be glued to it. His first event if the 400 IM on opening day.

Thanks for all the great hiking pictures and those of Nicholas. I hope he becomes a swimmer or an equestrian. LOL

Re: 7/31 Mannie AMPS 176, +2 208, +4 146

Looks like Manny wants to continue his excellent cycle from last night!!! Go Manny!!!

I've completely forgotten what a drizzly rain feels like. After 30-some years of living in this desert, I've forgotten what any other weather is like!!! I've got to travel more!!

Re: 7/31 Mannie AMPS 176, +2 208, +4 146

I am amazed and thrilled at Mannie's progress. What a different cat he is than when we first started out here. Great job, Michelle!!! :thumbup :thumbup

How funny that YOU had to wake up the kitty choir this morning. It's ok for them to be noisy and climbing all over you but if you wake them up....well cat(2)_steam cat(2)_steam :lol: :lol:

Hope you all enjoy your drizzly day. We are supposed to get rain...again the promise...yesterday pooped out on us.

BEACH!!! Yes!!!! I'll bring my new flipflops!! Let's do it! Will BigMac be there?

Re: 7/31 Mannie AMPS 176, +2 208, +4 146

Come on Mannie! We can surf to the Dunes ……and then surf down them too! -- Tess

Re: 7/31 Mannie AMPS 176, +2 208, +4 146, +8 236

236 @ +8. :shock: :shock: :shock: and WHERE did THAT come from? Sheshhh Mannie.... yep: a repeat of yesterday, which may or may not be good: he did make green last night... guess we shall see....

Hi Tracy - yep -great stuff until that +8 spike... oh well, I hope he will bring it down my pmps. and it is definitely a sleepy Sunday for the Manster.

Hi Ann, and Miss Maggie - i did too... darn yellow! I am beginning to wonder if it is the chicken that he gets at +6... happened this way yesterday too, same time frame for the chicken... I had better read the label again. :roll: I know on the kitty choir - what the heck!?!!. it was kinda funny.... I am off to walk after this post. our drizzle has let up, enough to get out and not get totally soaked.

Hi Barbara - I will send the rain - we get too much anyways... :lol: :lol: omg with the shower with the clothes on.... somehow I can see how that would work. And yes - i keep telling Mannie he comes from swimming family, he had better get into the lagoon often - he has a tradition to uphold. :lol: oh yes on the tedious aspect of the sport....know all too well. I hope Peter has a great meet - I too will have all online that day. Lots to watch. Good luck to him! --- and yes on Nicholas. I hope to have time this week to see what I can find at the local pool for babies. It's a total revamped facility, so it will be good to check out all the new stuff they have.

Hi patty - Hoping hoping... we want last night again... paws crossed! --- You need to travel girl! Drizzle is unique... still not rain, doable for so many things, and yet just enough to cause a mess. fun!! :lol: :lol:

Hey Marje - oh yes - isn't he so different from what he was like when you joined here. I remember that - Mannie was still all over the place and diving and bouncing and hunting for mermaids. I am grateful that we don't do that much anymore... and anti-jinx! -- i don't mind the drizzle... it's Ok for trail hikes here, so off in a few to do just that. and so true on waking up the kitty choir... that is what I got: cat(2)_steam cat(2)_steam

Tess... I TRIED! I really did!!! but I fell off my board.... what a bummer! can I still surf if I am yellow???? See you soon - we gots to pack up from the beach stuff... see you soon! ~~ Mannie

Gracie - yep, beach and dunes sliding!! I hear BigMac is really into dunes sliding, so bring your best sliding suit... I will send him a personal invite. ~~ Mannie

Maggie - dune sliding it is!! Cookout to follow. I LUBS cookouts... on y way to picks you up!~~Mannie

Re: 7/31 Mannie AMPS 176, +2 208, +4 146, +8 236

Yo Mannie, You need to slide DOwN the dunes, so let's go to the beach and do dunes. I'm sliding DOwN too!!
Cook out--yes!
Rusty

Hi Michelle, I wish I could send you this beautiful, mild sunny weather with cool nights and low humidity. Don't know how long it will last, but we'll take it! Did you get out on your hike in the drizzle? We just finished our yard work and it now looks a little less like a jungle. Tomorrow I have to tackle some of the weeds (I don't like to take down the weeds because so many of them have nice flowers). Thanks for your words of support last night. I was really down, but today all is OK (so far!!)

Enjoy your hike,

Ella

Re: 7/31 Mannie +11 239, PMPS 266

239 @ +11
266 @ pmps. Mannie... dude... what's up? hmmmmm.... seems to be a repeat of yesterday, though a little higher. So... should that be the case we should see green. paws crossed......

Hi Ella - that does sound nice - enjoy them while you have them!! Yesterday here was wonderful, today not so much... they do say that tomorrow we should be 75, no clouds... I do so hope that they are right. And yes - I did get my hike in - the drizzle more or less stopped by thee time I headed on out, so YAY! They tide was low today so I went for a shore hike. Those are always nice, not too hard either.... YAY ion your yard work! Too funny on not pulling the weeds with flowers - I know what you mean... I have a few of those too! and YAY too that things are OK - I so understand the feeling - been there with Mannie, still do sometimes... it's just hard to deal with this day in and day out. I am so glad that things are better today.

Rusty!!!!! I know..... I kinda fell off my board, and got all turned around.... I hope things will be better tonight - maybe all that dunes sliding will help. and a big affirmative on the cookout!! I LUBS them!! ~~ Mannie

Re: 7/31 Mannie +11 239, PMPS 266, +2 248

248 @ +2. well... down some, but I seriously doubt there will be any green lagoon for Mannie tonight. Blues would be good. :razz:

Re: 7/31 Mannie +11 239, PMPS 266, +2 248

Sounds like you had a good day despite the drizzle. i was with Ella, did a lot of ouside cleanup. Bleah! Time to water now. Later.

hey Mannie, I'm off the board for a while too. Time to COOK! I brought some Nori Crisps to snack on. Nothing too fancy for the beach! -- Tess

Re: 7/31 Mannie +11 239, PMPS 266, +2 248

Come on back down, Mannie....you know you want to head to the green lagoon again!!

Hope you had a great day and got all your puter chores done!

Hey Mannie...how fun is the beach!!! Thanks for bringing BigMac!!! Tobey has sand everywhere!!

202 @ c+4
214 @ +5.5

sorry to be so MIA - my son stopped by, and well... spent time with my youngest. :razz:

Hi Ann - yeah, we did OK here. Got the 'puter up so snuff for the most part. Will need a new scanner as the old one is not win7 compliant and HP has no upgrades to take care of it,. oh well... no yard work... as the weather didn't really get better until late in the day. oh well on that too! :lol: :lol:

HI Marje - we have hit the flat yellows... hmmmmm - a break I hope for, but not tomorrow - I have a hike planned and really hope I wake up to a permission slip. guess we shall see. and YAY on the computer chores - all done, except for the scanner issues... looks like I will need a new one. bummer!

Gracie - I KNOW!! I LUBS the beach too. BigMac sure does too. What will we do with Tobey! He sure can slide on those dunes though. Where did he learn to do that? Amazing!! OK, uhhhhh... more sliding, More cooking, let's Go! ~~ MANNIE

Tess - oh phew!! I have off the board company... not that that is good, but well... you know.... so YAY: LET'S COOK!! Nori Crisps: yum!! ~~ Mannie

Ni Ni...here's hoping you can hike tomorrow.
