4/17 in MannieLand

4/17 RECAP
4/17 fuds: AM & PM cycle: catsip, no appy
4/17 amps HI : 2nd cycle on this dose (.75), catsip
+1 fed catsip
+2 HI fed catsip
4/17 pmps HI: 1st cycle on this dose (1.00), catsip
+2 HI

4/18 amps HI: 2nd cycle on this dose (1.00)

Yesterday was a difficult day in MannieLand. BG's remain off the charts, mobility and muscle strength have worsened, and appy has just disappeared. We've tried all we can think of to entice Mannie to eat to no avail. He really has not had anything substantial in a couple of days, short of the catsip, and that he is now refusing. The pred really does not seem to be helping. Mannie gets maybe one I sorta feel better hour after getting the med, but then we are back to the fact that he simply does not feel good. We will see how the morning goes. I need to face the fact that it just may be his time, as sad and as heartbreaking as that is for me. This is his call, his dance. I will be there for you Mannie, that is a promise. Mannie - here's to you. Lubs ya big guy! cat_pet_icon

All is well in MannieLand. :-D :-D I spent so much time with him last night. He is at peace, and content. When Nicholas and I were headed out he stopped just before leaving the house, ran back in to give Mannie a pet. As sick as he is Mannie still manage to give Nicholas that patented squinty-eyed look he does. It was a very sweet moment. Mannie spent most of the day sleeping in his bed, just chillin'. We did get a little sun yesterday, so I took him outside for a bit. He relaxes so when he is there, soaking up those rays. For him, life is good. :-D LB is normal as it can be right now, Ketones tests have been negative. Test was good this morning. :cool: a new Normalcy in MannieLand.

Have a great day everyone! I am back on DGS duty for the rest of the week. Today will be an outdoor day for Nicholas, hopefully a river or a creek. WOO HOO! Well, we hope that it is... rains stay away! Paws crossed on the weather! I hope to visit condos when time permits, it is so tough to do while he is here. I will miss you guys! Think blue, think green kitties!

Hey everybody! What's up? Besides my BG's that it - they is always up! heeheehee, gotta work on that! You guys into a treehouse day? or a radiator day? I kinda just wanna spend the day with my friends. Maybe we an take a short road trip, top down on the roadster, let the wind whip through our whiskers some. SWEET! You guys in? let me know - I am ready for anything!! ~~ Mannie

And completely OT: Here's the Picassa link to the photos from DGS,and my adventure yesterday: Swimming and the trail by the pool, including a couple of videos. Here's the link: Swimming, Pool Trail
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Peace and contentment are very good things. We are sending so many prayers your way....
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Morning Michelle and Mannnie, lots of vines and prayers ongoing. I'm so sorry to hear the pred or Mirtz are not helping. Does he seem in pain or just extremely weak/lethargic? I am glad he enjoyed the yard and catching those sunbeams. So sweet with DGS going back for one more pet and loving Mannie. Awww....on the squinty eyes! :-D Mannie, you are the best as even when you are not feeling good, you still bring on the coffee, and Pike's Place Market are my favorite Beans. Thank you for the Triple Espressos, love ya, Auntie Ann.
Hugs and prayers for a comfortable day for Mannie
The pics of DGS are great and capture how much fun he is having with swimming and the outdoors. I caught some yesterday, too.

Mannie, yeah Treehouse and Rusty's radiator sound fun with the road trip, too. I'll be waitin at the same spot, Mags
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Hi guys .. it's nice to hear that mannie is resting comfortably this morning .. I hope those sun-ray's find their way to him so he doesn't have to move much, but can still enjoy them .. ((hugs)) to both of you!
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Good morning Michelle and Mannie. Healing vines and peace coming your way from Tulsa. My heart is breaking with yours. Mannie is definitely in charge and will let you know. So sweet with Nicholas and the petting. Mannie does love him so much and looks forward to seeing him. Have a good time at the pool and whatever you are able to squeeze in. We will check back in on you later today and be thinking about you all day long. ((((Michelle)))) Give the big guy a big kiss and some scritches from Auntie Melissa.
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Hi Michelle,
I send all the perfection vines and prayers i have, but Mannie is already perfect and you are as close as hoomans get. You two are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. I hope there are some glorious sunbeams for the two of you to enjoy this afternoon.

MohcaMannie! There's only one thing better than your morning coffees!!! That's seeing you come down the street dancing, singing and snapping your fingers. May i have a scone today with my espresso and mocha? Waiting in the driveway for you my sweet barista!!! I love you Mannie.

Mannie! Man, that is one cool roadster. I love how it gets bigger and bigger so we can all squeeze in. I'm ready for the treehouse and radiators. Maybe we can have some more of those crispy spiders for lunch. Then, lets drive your roadster all the way around the world and watch the sun come up a bunch of times!!! love you dude...oliver
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Mannie, my pal, let's spend the whole day just chillaxin' with the gang. We'll take a short road trip in the roadster and have a picnic lunch and then relax in the treehouse or on my radiators. See ya soon,
Rusty

Michelle, sending you much love and sending Mannie very strong vines for his journey. He has taken charge. As with the FD dance, Mannie is leading this dance. He is content, and he loves you.

Many hugs for you and Nicholas, and hugs and scritches for Mannie from his Auntie Ellabean and Uncle Edwardbean,

Ella & Rusty
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Thinking of you guys today - catch some sun and squint those eyes Mannie!

And don' fergit ta roll on doze nanners today - deyz magic, I swearz! ~~ Sweetie
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

It's nice to hear Mannie is taking all this in stride, like he seems to have always done with everything, and is seemingly content and peaceful. I check on you guys every day and will continue to....I have to have my Mannie fix even if it isn't always the best news. I know, as always, you're doing the best for him.
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Prayers and vines for mannie and strenght for you. Mannie is leading the dance and you are his partner. perfectly in step with him. Hugs and scritches, you know how much LL loves you both! :YMHUG: cat_pet_icon :YMHUG: cat_pet_icon :YMHUG: cat_pet_icon

Perfect timing on your delivery after our BTB. You truly are a miracle, MochaMannie! -- Auntie Annbean

Mannie, chillaxin' anywhere you wand. All us kittehs will be there with you. I can take you out for a spin in the Furrari, top down and the wind in our whiskers! And I'll drive as fast as you want! -- Tess
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Michelle,

Cherish the moments, cherish the love and know that you are not alone. You have an entire family right here feeling the pain along with you.



Hey Mannie,

I'm sorry that Maui can't come out to play today. She is still at the hotel, yeah that's right, the hotel, waiting for the tooth shuttle! I was told that she and Buster enjoyed their suite, got room service, pampering treatments and lots of fuds.

Of course, when she comes home later, she will need KTSS big time. So, maybe you can gather the troops to come over tonight to help her and Buster too of course.

Thanks for today's tea. It's the bestest and I can't wait for my afternoon frappe - I LOVE Chocolate.

Signed Maui the Magnificent's Bean - missing her girls like crazy and not liking an empty bean house

 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Shasta said to tell Mannie that she would love to go out in the Roadster. She never gets to go out and let her hair down, so she's excited! ;-)

As for me, I'll keep sending prayers and appy/strength vines for my favorite Mannie. I love his eternal search for the sunbeams :-D and his love for you and Nicholas...squinty eyes and all. Hugs and love to you, Michelle. And snuggles and scritches to the Big Guy, Mannie!
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Hi Michelle - I am so saddened to read your condo today that the meds aren't doing much and Mannie's appy is falling off. But it is heartening to hear that he still enjoys soaking up the rays, and that still a sign that life still has some goodness in it and worth the purrs. It is very sweet that Nicholas ran back to Mannie - he is a special boy to be that friend to Mannie, and vice versa. We have a dreary rainy day here, and that's cause Leo grabbed all the sun beams and sent them out to Mannie. We'll have rain so Mannie can have sun, handsome boy.

Yo yo yo Mannie my Man! I want to chillax today, but I have to wait until tonight. I have that Box of Terrors thing today, but mamabean says it will be the last one! So I comes over later when I get back home! Soak up the suns, dude. ~Your best bud, Leo
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

(((Michelle))) sending lots of feel good vines to Mannie and strength to you. I was touched to read how Nicholas is handling all this, it's quite the experience for a little boy.

I'd also send you any sunbeams if we had them, but I suspect we'll both have to wait until tomorrow. In the mean time, it's a great day for fleece snuggling in beds, the same is going on here. Please pass on extra scritches, pats and hugs to Mannie from us.

Mannie - I just had to try the mocha today since it's your beans favorite, and now I understand why. It's delish!
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Michelle

Just sending Mannie prayers and vines, and hopes that he can get a little sunshine in today.

Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

I'm glad you had some sun yesterday for Mannie to enjoy. I hope you keep getting the sun for him. It's good to hear he is at peace and content. Sending Mannie vines and prayers to you.
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Hello everyone! It was been a great day with Nicholas, at a local creek, exploring. We ended up taking his mom out to lunch today too. Double fun! The time out today was fun. We left Mannie on his fleece, sleeping. He was still in his post when we returned. He is non-responsive, with no interest in food or water, or even getting up. I have petted him, told him he was loved by so many, gave him scritches on his ear. I told him I would help hm, and at that moment he closed his eyes: I had my sign, There have been no shots today, no pills, no tests. He is content. Early this evening he will be allowed to cross to the Bridge, with quiet dignity and grace. I owe him this much. Freedom from an failing body. Already I miss him.

THANK YOU EVERYONE !(!!) who has visited today: Wendy, Lisa, Deborah, Hillary, Michelle, Ann, Patty, Jo, Ella, Mary, Barb, Liz, Anne, Melissa, Devon, Ann, Tena, Carla, Terri, and Josie. You guys are simply the best! I have read all to Mannie, and I do believe he heard them all. He has fought a valiant battle, and in a way I do believe he won. His way, his terms, his choice. What a trooper he is. I wish I knew what else to say. You all have been the best, have given so much of yourselves, and I am eternally grateful. THANK YOU to all of LL!

OH that bean! What will I do with her! It is a sunny day here in LL and us kitties have things to do. Top is down on the roadster, the tree house and the radiators await us. The BMG feels a need to do its thing. So kitties, my friends! let's roll! Winds in our whiskers , the world is ours for the taking. Let's roll ~ Mannie
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Sending the sun's waming rays from California to Mannie and you.

Both of you are an inspiration to everyone here and very much in our thoughts.

Very best wishes... cat_pet_icon
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Oh Michelle

Many tears are falling as I read your post. I will keep Mannie and you in my thoughts and prayers.

(((((Michelle)))) (((((Mannie))))

Lots of love,
Tena
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

(((((((((Michelle))))))))))
You have given Mannie so much calm and love during his journey ~ may his journey continue with peace.
With love, Josie

Mannie, what a great day for a roadster trip! Sun, wind, road...then tree house and radiators,
hanging out with all of the LL kitties! Simply PURRRFECT.

For you:
Tree House

A tree house, a free house,
A secret you and me house,
A high up in the leafy branches
Cozy as can be house.

A street house, a neat house,
Be sure and wipe your feet house
Is not my kind of house at all--
Let's go live in a tree house.

-Shel Silverstein

I lubs ya forever, my friend. ~Ripley

Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

(((Michelle))) I send you all my love and support. You are the most perfect life partner for Mannie. It seems trite to tell you he will always be with you, for you know that better than anyone. His heart, his spirit and yours will always be one. I cry because my heart hurts as he begins his new journey. .i can only know the tiniest bit of how deeply your heart hurts. Saying farewell to one so very special takes my breath away. I pray for you both tonight. Take deep care my dears. The world belongs to both of you now and always

MochaMannie... fly free and happy across forever. We'll meet now and then in the midst of the one celebration that can never end. I love you my sweet barista. Land softly, go grab the world...it is yours

Mannie, we'll get the wind in our wiskers. You are right, let's roll. We go grab the world! i love you dude. Oliver
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

(((Michelle and Mannie))) My heart breaks for you, as I know how much you love Mannie and how hard this last step. I send all my love and support as you help Mannie tonight.
Mannie, you are the sweetest, best Barista. Thank you for all those early morning Espressos and for arranging all those fun times, OTJ party menus, and for always picking me up at the curb. Every time I have an Espresso, I'll think of you. We love you, Auntie Ann & Mags
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

I cry like Mannie were my own, but I'll always remember him and his greatness, his command of the nanners and his amazing coffee-making abilities. He really is a one and only. Please give him a kiss for me and Champ.
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Michelle, I'm also sending tons of prayers your way, my friend. Have you talked to the vet about taking him off the pred, or is it a necessity for Mannie to have? (sorry I haven't been fully reading up on what all meds he needs for what). It may help to lower his BG's... That and in order to get him to eat, you may have to begin syringe feeding him to help him get some strength back. I honestly don't know what to say to help... :( I wish there was a magic wand to help him get back to his normal Mannie self, and make him feel better again. {{{{{{{{{{MICHELLE & MANNIE}}}}}}}}}}
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Oh Michelle,

It is time. Remember to give him his snot halo to send him on his journey with dignity and love. Fly free Mr. Mocha Mannie Man, you are so much loved by all those near and far. May you cross in peace and wrapped in the arms of love. We love you and miss you already.

The kittehs will play and sing in your honor, listen to their heartfelt love songs that will help you cross to the bridge and meet up with all those that have gone before and are waiting for the BMG, Mocha Manster to arrive and start his delivery service.

It truly is sad, we all love the Nanner King, Kitteh Barista and Chef de Cuisine of LL - Mannie is going to have a whole new set of adventures with friends new and old! Goodbye sweet boy.
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

What you and Mannie enjoyed you can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. Remembering him as he was honors his life and will help you heal. Remembering is appreciation and gratitude for love you shared. You are honoring him by your generous gift - setting him free from this existence. You have gone above and beyond in your care for him. He was blessed to be your kitty and he told you it was time. HUGS
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

(((((Michelle)))))

My heart is heavy with sorrow for you and for your precious boy.

(((((Mannie))))) Your many friends await you as you begin your new adventures. Safe travels, big guy. You are loved.
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

((((((Michelle-Mannie)))))) My Heart hurts reading that sweet Mannie is not well & that you have decided to let him go--I know exactly how you feel, and they do tell us when they are ready..
Michelle You have done Everything Possible to save him & make him as comfortable as possible, as I did for Moonie...But the day we fear the most, always comes too soon.
It is the most Loving act we can do for them, to let them go & end their suffering. Although it is the act that breaks our hearts, it is still the most loving thing we can do.
Sending all my heartfelt Love to you & Mannie, and Pray it will go softly..
Moonie & Copper will be there waiting for Mannie with open paws & love...
WE Love You Michelle, WE Love you Mannie, Fly Free sweet Boy & Land Softly on the other side!
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

(((((Michelle))))) There is a flood of tears here for you. I don't know what to say and wish I could be there with you. Mannie - you have a great bean who would do anything for you and this is her biggest act of love. Your Auntie Melissa loves you more than you will ever know. Rest well sweet boy. Love you all so much.

Hey Mannie! No worries my friend. The roadster sounds awesome with the top down. We'll be able to feel our fur and whiskers whipping in the wind. My bean says wheelies are a ok. Picks me up, k? Love you always, your friend Tarragon
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

:cry:
I have been watching and waiting, hoping and praying for something that could help Mannie.
It was not to be. I remember taking an ailing civvie on one of many trips to the vet. "Is there anything more I can help you with?" he asked. "Please help to fix my cat," I replied. But we both knew there was nothing left that could be done.

Mannie's unique spirit will never leave you. I will continue to pray for you as Mannie begins his journey to meet all of our beloved angels at the bridge...

MJ
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

((Michelle)) again my thoughts And prayers are with u! I know how hard it is to go through this but the best comfort is knowing you gave him a great life and are able to do what is right for him and free him from pain. My heart goes out to you knowing what it feels like and still grieving for my precious boy myself. Scrabble will be there to greet Mannie at the bridge with a huge smile on his face. Big hugs as I know this is so difficult! My heart is with you
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

HI Michelle,

Sorry Mannie is still not feeling well. I hope he feels better soon. Hang in there.

Hugs,
Melanie & Racci

Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Michelle I'm so sorry his time is here so fast. I'm glad he was peaceful and content today and that he gave you a sign. I know how hard this is for you, but you're doing the best thing for Mannie. He will be free from pain. Sending hugs and prayers.
 
Re: 4/18 Mannie AMPS HI

Hey Mannie, you's the one and only nanner king. I's lub ya so much. You is my hero. Until we meet again... -Zener
