Yesterday's perfect green day

Oops, this morning probably wasn't the best day to sleep in and skip the +2 Luckily all is well, although Ivana wasn't real keen on eating the HC food - only managed to get her to eat 1t, so we gave her a double dose of honey as well. She did eat a bit more at +3.5, but still not the whole 2t amount. Thankfully though we know from past experience that when she is super-low she is ravenous and will demand to eat everything in sight, which she hasn't done this morning, so that's a good thing. Re-testing at +4.

Crikey Ivana!!
Congrats on the reducie.

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Wow, bet that woke you up better than coffee!

I'm glad she came up for you. But Ivana, you've got a ways to go to be safe from the sharks, so eat your yummy food, please! Good catch, Tara, and congrats on the reducie. Less drama next time, please, Ivana.

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

Wow, bet that woke you up better than coffee!

Heck yes!

Last night in my condo I wrote something about liking that she's been stable enough for us to go out and not worry about her, so we went out to dinner last night (hence our sleep-in this morning). Just goes to show they *do* read our condos, and act accordingly to mess with our minds

 

[Shoeskitty-GA]

Glad you caught it and that she earned a reduction! Hope she stays safe the rest of the cycle!

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

This means she's now down to 0.25u as of this evening - holy cow.

 

[Anne & Hyde (GA)]

Way to go!! Congrats on the reducie!!

 

[tiffmaxee]

Congrats. Ivana, 40 would have gotten the same attention.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Yikes! Good catch.

Since Ivana is no longer bouncing the way she used to, and seems to be on the dose downward slope, you might want to rethink the three times below 50 and reduce after 1 next time.

Interesting... is the three times thing just for bouncers? You're right, she's not in the Bouncer category anymore (phew!). Although after this she's only got two more possible reductions anyway

 

[carfurby (GA)]

Wow, what a way to wake up. Congrats on the reducie. I hope she comes up a little higher and surfs for you.

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

I'm kinda nervous about reducing down to 0.25u, she did terribly on that dose last time. Oh well, we will see!

 

[sarahtee]

Hoping she does really well on the reduced dose for you this time, Tara.

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

But she's a cat, and we all know they don't do the same thing twice when we expect it, right? Show her, Ivana!

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

Show her, Ivana!

I hope she's reading this!

She has climbed into the blues as at +7. A bit disappointing after her beautiful greens of late, but I won't complain as it's still awesome

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

I'll be looking for a report on the menu tomorrow, so I can drool

Here you go Serryn! Gotta say, it was bloody amazing. So decadent to go out for an entirely vegan meal, I really hope he does these nights monthly as he plans.

Edited to attach the photos this time, oops

 

[Vyktors Mum]

It worked I am drooling, it all looks heavenly. I think @Amy&TrixieCat is going to want to see this too.

I am fortunate enough to have a completely vegan cafe not too far away, delicious but they don't do the fancy stuff. I love it when food looks pretty too

Good luck with the reduction. The three times under 50 reductions are for long termers or for those who have a history of not holding reductions well. I think all the bouncing can contribute to not hanging on to reductions. Ivana is looking totally different now and as she's not passed the 1 year mark so it makes sense to see if she can go back to the 'normal' treatment.

Tee hee it always feels odd calling anything 'normal' on fdmb! More tee hee, auto correct wanted to turn fdmb into 'fd but' actually now I'm not sure if that was actually funny or I'm just over tired...

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Serryn is correct, I meant to say three times under 50 for those who don't hold reductions well. In either case, Ivana seems to be on a mission now and holding her back may mean the depot gets ahead of you.

I am not vegan, but those pics may me hungry too.

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

Ivana seems to be on a mission now

You're right, she has been holding her reductions really well this time down the dose ladder, unlike last time. Ok from now on she's only got to show me once, not three times. Paws crossed!

 

[Doodles & Karen]

I'm kinda nervous about reducing down to 0.25u, she did terribly on that dose last time.

No need to mess around with that 29....think she's on a mission and you know how to go back up if needed. Ivana now please....surf for a little while sweet girl.

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

No need to mess around with that 29....think she's on a mission and you know how to go back up if needed.

For sure, she's definitely earned it! Hopefully she continues on her fabulous streak after her reduction

OOOoooohhh...I am so glad Serryn tagged me here. That looks fabulous!!! We have one very incredible vegan restaurant fairly close by and it is such a treat to go to place where we actually have more than one option on the menu!

Work that reducie, Ivana!!

 

[Bobbie And Bubba]

I'm drooling here! Ivana, you are on a mission!!

 

[Tara & Ivana (GA)]

@Vyktors Mum and @Amy&TrixieCat you guys are so lucky - we have to drive a bit over an hour to get to the closest all-vegan cafe/restaurant. There's not a shortage of 'regular' places to eat, of course, but how great is it to get to choose from the whole menu?! Apart from the food at this cafe being amazing, we really want to support him for providing totally cruelty-free food, so funnily enough we're going there for coffee today

Yikes Ivana....29???? tooooo green!!
