Yesterday

Thought we’d move up from +8 but no…

@Bandit's Mom not too sure what to do here.. I know we should shoot - kinda low and nervous to shoot, mostly cuz he’s still moving downward?

 

[Bama Kitty Mom (GA)]

Gus and Bama are in a race with the BGs!!! "Let's drive our moms crazy!!" they say.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Wow! That was unexpected even though he has a history of nadiring at the end of the cycle.
If you can monitor, feed, shoot and get a +1.

I know you haven't shot green recently, but you don't want to lose momentum by skipping. Stalling might only cause him to drop further without food on board.

I will be around to help you with the cycle. At least for the next 7-8 hours.

Just realized this is your first green PS! Here's your BoS award!

After you shoot and have caught your breath, let me know what MC and HC you have and whether you have honey/karo.

haha - had to make sure I was ready when we kept moving the dose up! I’m a bit nervous not gonna lie but I know we have control.

So I test at +1? Or sooner?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

A +1 is fine. How is he when it comes to tests?

 

[Gus the Furminator]

it’s going to be a long day.. and of course my work is crazy right now trying to wrap up before the end of the week (holidays start on Friday!)

 

[Gus the Furminator]

A +1 is fine. How is he when it comes to tests?

He’s a pretty good boy about it… doesn’t love it but tolerates it. His ears are a little red today though

 

[Sue and Luci]

Welcome to the lagoon! Luci is there too...seems she decided to go late last night and is still out there surfing around! Have a good time there Gus! It's great being in the lagoon!

wow! I’m not sure if I’ve said this before but Luci and Gus are almost twins! Same white patch on the lip even! Actually I’m sure we’ve discussed this

Little rebels! Staying out all night!

Thanks Sue, good vibes to you and Luci

 

[Bama Kitty Mom (GA)]

Luci, Gus and Bama Kitty frolicking together in the lagoon!

Luci, Gus and Bama Kitty frolicking together in the lagoon!

When do we get to have fun?! Momma’s at home all worried! Lol - well I’m a noob mom with a frolicking fur kid out all night in the lagoon so maybe you both aren’t so worried/nervous

 

[Sue and Luci]

It's Tuxi-Time in the lagoon!! @Bama Kitty Mom AND @Gus the Furminator - WOW!!

Hang in there noob...let the kitties ride those waves! It's so good for them...

Luci will surf nicely for a while...then the ole bouncie bounce routine...ah, such is the life of a diabetic Tux. She's out on the lanai now enjoying the sounds of the dawn...hope your kitties are enjoying that lovely green lagoon

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Kim, did you get a +1?

 

[Gus the Furminator]

Kim, did you get a +1?

I did, sorry had to put on some much needed

and just like that, 92. Moving up now. Will check at +3/4 unless you think sooner (or later). Time to move this party to the bounce castle! Hope he doesn’t jump too high

I’m so glad you lead me to shoot on that low green. And thank you for your kind and caring offer to stick with me incase things got crazy

 

[Bandit's Mom]

and just like that, 92. Moving up now. Will check at +3/4 unless you think sooner (or later).

Get a +2 - he should have onset by then and let's wait to call it a bounce then. Did you feed a little at +1?

Happy to help! They still might get crazy!

 

[Gus the Furminator]

Question.

I didn’t want to feed his full amount at breakfast incase I needed him to eat later but if I don’t give a good amount he won’t eat it because of the b12 - he doesn’t have neuropathy - just a preventative and I read it is good for prolonging cartilage breakdown (which is what holds his hips in place )

So this morning I didn’t give him a full capsule… just half, it’s 5000mg. Do any of you know how that works.. should I give him the rest later or should I just leave it for today?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

You can give the other half later in the day. With his PM meal.

He didn’t want to eat at +1 he’s a tired boy - partying all night- I think his belly is full - he’s back to napping.

Ok, we’ll get a +2 and see what’s up - might be round two!

 

[Gus the Furminator]

I give him Dasuquin at PM meal.. might not work with that cocktail

 

[Bandit's Mom]

You can add a little to every meal.

 

[Gus the Furminator]

Thought so, b12 is pretty easy going, ty!

It's amazing how fast those balls of steel turn into full body armor.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

+2?

 

[Gus the Furminator]

+2?

88 @ +2. Look at him go! He’s just ate a little food.

Guess this means I should get a +3

 

[Bandit's Mom]

92 and 88 is flat. Might be a slow bounce. Give him a pokie break and get a +4.

Ok, sounds good to me.. and Gus I’m sure. I’ve had to wake him up for the last 2 tests

 

[Bama Kitty Mom (GA)]

Bama Kitty to Gus, "Race you up the steps to the diving platform!!!"

Aww haha Gus is a little chicken, Bama kitty might need to give him a little push to show him how fun it can be

101 @ +4, I can’t believe he’s still hanging in there. I hope this run gave him a good break.

Good to hang back on testing until PMPS, you think?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yes. Think it should be fine. Congrats again on shooting your first green!

 

[tiffmaxee]

[Gus the Furminator]

Thanks was a little nervous but Bhooma was here to help me through it. I see now it was definitely the right decision.

 

[Gus the Furminator]

Well… I did not expect to be in the blue still 191

 

[tiffmaxee]

Nice pmps.

 

[Gus the Furminator]

Nice pmps.

Thanks. Blue me away! (See what I did there?) haha

I think I’ll grab a +3, that’s generally his onset but I honestly don’t know anymore… (never really have lol) He also had lots of pokes last night today, trying to space it out if I can.. his ears are spotty despite quick/easy pokes and cotton pad with pressure

 

[Katherine&Ruby]

Really great day for Gus! Great job, Kim!!!

 

[Gus the Furminator]

Really great day for Gus! Great job, Kim!!!

Thanks Katherine. Seems like it only took my vent yesterday morning and some words with the cat gods to get a good day (and hopefully more!)

 

[Gus the Furminator]

Now we bounce, 302 @3.5! And I get to sleep…

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Enjoy!
