I wrote this in yesterday's condo - it seems fit for today too: BLUE once again, as far as the eye can see; it seems Mannie really likes that blue board... and spent the night surfing on it. Excellent, and good job Mannie! Your bean is very proud of you. cat_pet_icon I so love the evenness and consistency of these cycles - so so level! As Christie wrote last night: "perhaps someone has permanently retired from rainbow banditry???" Could it be so??? (and to be safe: anti-jinx!)

All is well in MannieLand. We had a gorgeous sunny day here most of yesterday - enough so that I could open up the house. It was so odd, considering the accessibility of the great outdoors, to find all three kitties sleeping in their beds... all. day. long. :shock: Mannie finally ventured out after his +11. It was funny in a way - it was like he tried to cram all that he would do on a normal day outside into 30 minutes. :lol: :lol: Quick grass rolls, quick perch sitting, quick surveying, quick patrolling, coupled with a quick return trip indoors for the LB, only to go out again and repeat the routine: quickly. :roll: :lol: :lol: It always cracks me up when he comes inside to use the facilities... lots of great outdoor LB's out there Mannie... This morning was a laid back one.... what happened to all the craziness? Subdued kitty choir: only one bellow - but it was a loud one, and got my attention. :shock: :razz: I still have no clue where the other two were... hmmm... the sound of testing brought out Mannie... and he is always followed by BJ, who truly does watch every test he gets. It was a good test feed shoot. Breffis = clean plate club, clean plate club = major face washing, major face washing = time for nappus, time for nappus = nanners! -- normalcy in MannieLand. SWEET!, life is good. :razz:

Have a good day everyone. Today I begin my DGS sitting duties through Friday. I will try and get to condos, but really doubt that I can. Maybe in the evening... Do know that I am thinking of you all, even if I can't visit. Think GREEN kitties!!

My Friends!!! Guess what!! Rusty is back at camp Stu today - and he says we an come and visit! Cool, huh! my bag is all packed and ready to go. it uhhhh... has been packed for several days now... I so want to go to camp Stu............. AND!: we gots an OTJ party to cook for today - Simon is moving to the Falls. so..... grab all your stuff, ladles and spatulas and aprons and chef hats - we gots lots to do. All kitties are welcome to work in the kitchen. The bus is all packed and ready to go. And even better: we gets to go to CANADA!! SWEET!!! ~~ Chef Mannie

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +1 135

Nice numbers for Mannie today! He was in a hurry to get all his outdoor time over and done with yesterday. I'm sure the nanners had something to do with that. :lol:

Hope you have a lot of fun with DGS today!

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +1 135

Morning M & M!! Moonie is joining Mannie on the blue floor! Moonie seems to like it too!
Look at that beautiful flatness yesterday! Now that is amazing--Mannie never fails to be his incredible self!
Enjoy your DGS duties..he is so cute!
Please say a prayer for Moonie tonite for vet visit--I know you will my friend--
Hugs & Blue Lub from us!

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +1 135

Another great start!! Retirement suits Mannie!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Enjoy your day with Nicholas!!

Reporting fer dutee, Chef Mannie! I'z gotz chicken an' venison in de cooler reddy to go! See u on de bus! --Willie

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +1 135, +2 1058

Yikes! Your +2 was really 1058? I didn't know a meter could register that high!! (I'm guessing that's a typo and Mannie is blue.)

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +1 135, +2 105

Sorry for the typo... 105!!

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +1 135, +2 105

Hi guys .. mannie this roll of blue you are putting out is pretty impressive! We are all liking it very much .. much better then those other colors you were sporting for some time .. glad you got outdoor time in, even if it was only for a bit .. have a great day!

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +1 135, +2 105, +3 80, +3.5 86

Mannie's numbers have been quite impressive lately!!! I love his nice flat cycles!

Have fun with the DGS today!! Any exciting hikes planned for today?

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +2 105, +3 80, +3.5 86, +4 81

WOOT! That's the way to do it Mannie! Nice and slow! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I don'r know how i missed your condo yesterday! Oh yeah, slept in, …..had to pick up my mother, …visit to the studio. Sorry!

Mannie! All ready for Camp Stu. Rusty said the wild blueberries are ripe, so lots of picking to do! I'll make a sorbet and Wild Blueberry Tartlets! -- Tess

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +2 105, +3 80, +3.5 86, +4 81

That Mannie, always cooking and thinking about food! :lol:

He's been having such gorgeous cycles lately Michelle, with no more bouncing! Antijinx. You must be so proud! And green today too. :mrgreen: Funny about him coming inside to use the facilities, our kitties are creatures of habit i suppose. Leo loves to go potty in grandma's garden when he's at his grandparents place, it drives my mother mad, but i think its funny!

Have a great day with DGS and the Manster!

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +2 105, +3 80, +4 81, +4.5 96

mr flat cat, eh? not interested in being a rainbow kitty anymore, mannie? hmmmm.

that's too funny that BJ stays with mannie for testing. what a good buddy!

perhaps you keep the LB cleaner than what he can find in the great outdoors! :lol:

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +2 105, +3 80, +4 81, +4.5 96

Hi All! WOW, what a morning: juggling DGS (into solid foods now - what a mess), and Mannie who wanted to be green. AWESOME on all counts. :razz:

RECAP:
amps 123 fed 4%
+1 135 fed 4%
+2 105 fed 7%
+3 80 fed 10% MC

OT, sort of - for any of you who know Barbara of Barbara and Tuffy: she lost Woo Ton this morning, He lost a constant battle with IBD. Please keep her in your thoughts today. She is devastated.

and while the baby sleeps... an update...

Hi Melissa - thanks! Today is a very good day for Mannie. Love those greens! No doubt yu are right on the nanners yesterday - it was so funny to watch in rush through everything... and then back to the nanners. :lol: :lol:

Hi Roni - YAY! Mannie has company on blue - tell Moonie though that he so wanted the green lagoon, so off he went, and he really hopes that she will join him! I too really like all this flat -YAY!!! I will keep you guys in my thoughts tonight -Moonie: you have a good vetty appt!

Hi Christie - too funny on the retirement -I do so hope he doesn't decide that it is overrated! :lol: :lol: thanks on DGS - after napping and lunch for him we will head on down to the shore her for a visit. YAY!

Hi Sienne - too funny huh on the 1058... i hate it when I am rushed... the typos flourish then. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: and yes, he was blue.... poor guy: I put him on the high rise black floor there for a few moments: he was NOT happy.

Hi Devon! so so agreed on these blues, and greens, of late. I remember when..... :roll: and thx: day is great! busy, but great!

Hi patty - Me too - flat is so great... now if he can just get to the greens and stay that flat. Slowly we are getting there! YAY!!! THX on DGS - shore trip today with him. I was going to go on a travel hike, but with Mannie in the 80's early in the cycle I decided to postpone that til tomorrow. Today we will go local so I can still keep tabs on the Nanner King...

Hi Ann- thx! and no worries on yesterday - really. I know all too well how it is. --it has been a good morning for him - thanks goodness for the slow part... Remember when that word was not part of his vocabulary??? :lol: :lol:

Hi Tracy - and that would be an affirmative n the food... always! And yes - I am so very happy to see these cycles - they are the beat,. One only has to go back to January of this year to see the opposite. Patience is a virtue, and I have had to learn to let him call the shots, things move slowly with him.It has been a joy to see flat, and then start to see a general lower level of flat each month. LOVE IT! -- oh too funny on Leo's potty choice at DGm... they are creatures of habit - I know on Mannie. Sometimes I can see him running (unusual - he just does not run) across the yard into the house down the stairs to the LB. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Tess - SWEET!!! BLUEBERRIES!!! I love the dessert idea - I will put it on the menu! Let's roll! ~ Mannie

Willie -AWESOME on the venison!! I LUBS that stuff.... and the chickens too - sweet. You are the bestest ever apprentice chef. See you- watch for the bus! ~~ Mannie

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +2 105, +3 80, +4 81, +4.5 96

Hi Julie - FLAT.... YAY! and that he is... been a great morning today. bad me - kinda miss the rainbow kitty... well sort of, but I sure don't miss the drama. Flat IS better... :razz: --and yes on BJ: she never misses. I keep telling her she must want to be tested too. that look back says NOOOOOO!!!! silly girl.... too funny on the LB. omg, I have to clean that thing twice a day. :shock: :roll: :roll:

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +2 105, +3 80, +4.5 96, +5.5 91

91 @ +5.5. , and still green!

ETA: 89 @ +6.5

Re: 8/3 Mannie AMPS 123, +3 80, +4.5 96, +5.5 91, +6.5 89

Hi Michelle, I had a whole message typed and lost it with a bad stroke of the keyboard. What a beautiful cycle for Mannie. And did I hear Mannie is retiring from the rainbow cycles! Good job Mannie with the flat cycle and blues and greens. Mannie cracks me up every time with the returning inside to use the facilities. :lol: He says, "well, isn't that what the litter boxes are for?"

Hey Mannie, I am all packed and ready for you to picks me up for Camp Stu. And I have my apron and some fixins to make wild salmon patties for Simon's OTJ party. See ya soon, Maggie

Re: 8/3 Mannie +10 81, PMPS 55

55 @ PMPS :shock: :shock: :shock:

oh boy.... I did shoot this. I need to be able to maintain shot time in the morning... so, Off we go! I fed this with a 14% MC, due in part to the nice drop from his +10, and will test him @ +.5. SO: NEWBIES~ Please do not shoot a dropping number like this without advisement. I test alot, and have substantial data to know how Mannie will react to foods, in many different scenarios.

Hi Ann - I hate it when that happens - loosing messages.... so so sorry! I can feel your pain. One morning I had Mannie's all typed out, lost the whole thing... not fun! so I can sympathize. Maybe huh on the rainbow cycles - that would be so nice. and ANTI-JINX! You know the minute you say that they deliver what you thought they'd never do again... :lol: :lol: -- and I know on the indoor LB. sheshhhh! silly boy! you are SO RIGHT on his comment.

Maggie - sweet! This will be one great party! I am soooooo happy for Simon. OH BOY on the wild salmon patties! EXCELLENT! THANKS!! On my way~~ Mannie

Re: 8/3 Mannie +10 81, PMPS 55

NICE SHOOTIN!!!!

Up on that board, Mannie... you hear?? Looks like somebody wants to take full advantage of all the foods at tonight's party!!

Re: 8/3 Mannie +10 81, PMPS 55

:shock: :shock: :shock: is right!!
And WOW on the BOS Way to go!

Re: 8/3 Mannie +10 81, PMPS 55, +.5 68

Wow! It's already shaping up to be an exciting night!

Re: 8/3 Mannie +10 81, PMPS 55, +.5 68

68 @ +.5, fed some more 14%. Will test @ +1.

Hi Christie - holy schmoly... I like green PS numbers, but not when they are on the dropping end of a cycle. One sweats bullets for a couple of hours. sheshhhhhh Mannie! I guess he didn't get the memo about no low PS numbers. :lol: and yes - no doubt he wants to eat like a king at the party. He was mighty happy too when that chicken and cheese souffle stuff hit his bowl at shoot time. What a face wash session afterwards. :lol: :razz: :razz:

Hi Carolyn - thanks, and OMG! nerve wracking no matter how many times one goes through this... :razz:

Hi Bonnie - no doubt!! It is a good thing I had no plans. Guess Mannie wanted to take care of that. thanks big guy... cat_pet_icon

Re: 8/3 Mannie +10 81, PMPS 55, +.5 68

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Wow on the PMPS....but you manage his cycles so well with food I have no doubt this will be a beautiful cycle. nice shooting!

Re: 8/3 Mannie +10 81, PMPS 55, +.5 68

Hi Sherry - thanks, really! I do try.... I do so hope you are right. paws crossed!

Re: 8/3 Mannie +10 81, PMPS 55, +.5 68, +1 78, +41.5 94

78 @ +1, fed more 14% for mini meal #1, test @ +1.5

ETA: 94 @ +1.5, fed small tsp 14%, next test @ +2

Re: 8/3 Mannie +10 81, PMPS 55, +.5 68, +1 78, +1.5 94

Hey guys! What's all this??! Wow, what a day, and looks like an interesting evening emerging. Who needs rainbow kitty when you can have GREEN KITTY!! Go Mannie, but not too scary low. Mamabean needs her sleep!

Funny about Mannie coming inside to use his litterbox. Rusty does the same thing. Stu, on the other hand, couldn't wait to get outside and dig a new litterbox, make his deposit, cover it just so with leaves, etc. Sometimes he would spend 10-15 minutes tending his spot!

The OTJ party for Simon has another awesome Chef Mannie menu. Those kitties are having fun feasting tonight. Rusty is glad that the gang could stop at Camp Stu on the way to the party and wants the gang to visit every day.

Have a great evening,

Ella & Rusty

Hey Mannie: if there are leftovers, let's eat them tomorrow at camp, OK?
Rusty

Re: 8/3 Mannie +10 81, PMPS 55, +.5 68, +1 78, +1.5 94, +2 8

88 @ +2, went with a 10% for mini meal #2, and we shall see if it was too much, not enough, or maybe just right....

Hi Ella - do you believe this?? That pmps sure was a surprise... I had hoped he would up after his +10, but nooooooooooooooooo, the Nanner King had other plans. :lol: and so true - who needs that rainbow guy... -- I remember you writing about Stu and the outdoor LB - how meticulous he was with his spot. :razz: I am sure that there is a big pig-out going on at the party - what a life those kitties lead... Mannie is so stoked about camp - he just loves camp. the bags are pacled!

Rusty! DUDE! That would be an affirmative! We can save some, ya know.... left-overs for Camp Stu tomorrow! Hey - you wanna hang out at the green lagoon for awhile? ~ Mannie

Re: 8/3 Mannie PMPS 55, +.5 68, +1 78, +1.5 94, +2 88, +2.5

81 @ 2.5, continued with the 10% -small tsp, will test @ +3

Re: 8/3 Mannie PMPS 55, +.5 68, +1 78, +1.5 94, +2 88, +2.5

Woot!!! Nice HOOTING!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Your turn tonight! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes! The leftovers will make a great picnic! BUT! Where are all the extra tarts, MANNIE? I know I made more than this!!!!! -- Tess

Re: 8/3 Mannie PMPS 55, +.5 68, +1 78, +1.5 94, +2 88, +2.5

81 @ +3, stayed with the 10%-a small tsp, and will check @ +3

Hi Ann - Batter up :lol: :lol: :lol: yep, my turn, you guys worked last night while I slept. it is only fair... :razz:

Hey Tess!!! YAY!! Leftovers!!! at camp stu!!!! uuhhhhhh.... the tarts? the tarts???? I SWEAR I AM INNOCENT! really! well ok.... I ate them.... I was so hungry and they looked so good, and well I thought the box said "for Mannie" I didn't see the part that said "these tarts are for the party and not for Mannie".... uhhhhhhhhh.... we can make more - that's it! we'll pick tomorrow and make more! sorry Tess... I was so hungry and you are the bestest pastry chef ever... ~~ Mannie

Re: 8/3 Mannie PMPS 55, +1.5 94, +2 88, +2.5 81, +3.5 88

88 @ +3.5, switched to 7% LC, fed a small tsp, will check at +4. I'm liking this cycle... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Re: 8/3 Mannie PMPS 55, +1.5 94, +2 88, +2.5 81, +3.5 88

We haven't seen numbers like this out of Mannie in a long time. Way to go, Manster!!!!

Re: 8/3 Mannie PMPS 55, +1.5 94, +2 88, +2.5 81, +3.5 88

Talk about a determined green kitty! I think Tarragon and Mannie are up to something. They must have had too much fun at the party!

Hey Mannie! It worked. I got gravy with that sweet stuff on it. What a great plan huh?

Re: 8/3 Mannie PMPS 55, +1.5 94, +2 88, +2.5 81, +3.5 88, +4

95 @ +4, fed a small tsp of 3% LC. Now I hope he can surf this.... OK MANNIE?

Hi Patty - yep, it has been a few since he's had a green day. it's really nice to see. I was beginning to wonder if he'd be forever blue. :lol: :lol:

Hi Melissa - I was wondering too - they must have something up their sleeves - like keeping their beans up all night. Paws crossed that is not the case... I betcha it was the food....

Tarragon - I know - good plan huh! I was kinda tired of all that Wellness chicken stuff. gets old after a whole ya know. Now we got the really good stuff! YUM! you gots gravy???? and karo????? really??????? I didn't get any.... darn, I guess I didn't go low enough. I may need to rethink this... hey - midnight swim at Rusty's after the party! Come, OK? ~~ Mannie

Re: 8/3 Mannie PMPS 55, +1.5 94, +2 88, +2.5 81, +3.5 88, +4

WOOOOOOTTTT!!! Very nice hootin'!! What a great day for Mannie and wonderful management of his curve tonight.

Sorry to get here so late. HOpe you had a nice day with DGS. Great job tonight.

Mannie....time to party for Simon!!!! I made him a special drink: Simon's Summer Slush. It's very cool and refreshing!!!! Just what we need! Tobey had it all over his face.

Re: 8/3 Mannie PMPS 55, +1.5 94, +2 88, +2.5 81, +3.5 88, +4

Great job tonite!! You did great with his numbers , wow you may even get to sleep some dancing_cat dancing_cat dancing_cat Hugs & glad to see Mannie has still got his groove on! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Mannie I wuz late but we sang good! Saw all the GA's up in the clouds & they wuz smiling on us!--Hugs & lub from Moonie!

Re: 8/3 Mannie PMPS 55, +2 88, +2.5 81, +3.5 88, +4 95, +5 1

122 @ +2. looks like we are headed up some... what a ride tonight! :mrgreen: I do hope he can hold this to the blues... oh boy... paws crossed that we don't have the "B". last time we started out in the 50's at pmps we were pink in the AM. Not too sure here that Mannie's liver likes those 50's yet. Guess we shall see what the morning brings...

Hi Roni - Thanks - really! You guys are too kind... It was good though I think with the fuds. I did get what I wanted: 80's. so... hopefully things will be OK, and he won't bounce. paws crossed! He just doesn't stay level when he hits the 50's... we shall see I suppose.

Moonie!! Me too!! I saw them!! In the clouds!! that as so cool, and made me very happy. hey - I am glad that you are OK, and that the vetty went a-okay! You need a KTSS spa?? Tobey is really good! meet us at Rusty's and we will take care of you. We are going go a midnight swim, so bring your 'kini! - see you!! ~~ Mannie

Hi Marje - thanks on the fuds thing... so far so good... though we are headed up. I hope it isn't the fuds... or just what was going to be anyways. Gosh it was great to have greens all day, for the most part. Oh boy I sure hope he doesn't bounce tonight. :roll: -- and no problem on the hour of the visit - I know you are busy. I remember all too well how it is when you are retiring and there are things that need to be competed before you do. I wish you luck! there will be plenty of time for this stuff once you are "done".

Gracie - that is so cool! Simon's Summer Slush! I like that and added it to the menu... I thought since Tobey wanted to wear it so much that it would be his special... I hope that is OK. Maybe he could be your assistant or sumthin'.... You have the bestest ideas... hey - better bring a fully stocked bar, as I uhhhhh... kinda.... uhhhh... created a special for you this morning.... It was your most popular to date.... and well....we all want more! See you! oh!! hey !! midnight swim at Rusty's! ~~ Mannie

Re: 8/3 Mannie PMPS 55, +2.5 81, +3.5 88, +4 95, +5 122, +6

139 @ +6. not too bad.... maybe we will avoid the big "B". PAWS CROSSED!

Ok... off to bed for me. Thanks Mannie - I owe you one...

NI NI ALL !

Re: 8/3 Mannie PMPS 55, +2.5 81, +3.5 88, +4 95, +5 122, +6

Ni Ni, nice surf tonight. And i think Tess has taken care of the b…. word for both of them.
