Good morning!
Boomer ate all of his +3, all of his +6, but only about half of his +9. DH got up just after +9 and persuaded Boomer to come back to his dish and when DH came btb he said Boomer was eating. I got up anyways and Boomer had stopped eating so I picked dish up so that I wouldn't be testing at a food spike this morning. At any rate, I had been planning on trying a snack instead of a meal at +9 to see if I could get his BG to come down a bit....though of course with the auto feeder and with it being nighttime I have no way of knowing whether Boomer may have just finished his +6 fuds right before the +9 dish opened
I'm more than a little concerned about the high greens that Boomer is giving me; it wasn't too long ago that the high greens in remission became low blues. @julie & punkin (ga) has suggested getting Boomer to exercise and it's true that the only exercise he gets now is walking to and from his dish or when he changes nap location. Not sure how I'll go about this as Boomer has never really been a playful cat. I've tried all kinds of toys but he gives them the "meh" look and walks away. I'm really tempted to let him into the basement as I know he'll at least be walking around down there. But doing that means that, if DH puts Allen's bowl down without first checking to ensure Boomer is upstairs, Boomer will have access to kibble. It's happened twice before. Nope, have to come up with a different plan.
Today DH and I are heading to Port Huron MI. I really love Hobby Lobby (for my newborn props) and DH is thinking about getting his granddaughter a dollhouse that they carry. So we'll be leaving right after normal testing/feeding time. It's about an hour drive from here.
