Gooooood morning!

Cooper is on a streak of yellow AM pre-shots! Hopefully I'm not jinxing it lol. Maybe we'll get the PM to get there as well soon.

Now that there is a distinct possibility that he is going lower later in the cycle, do I need to be waking up at all hours of the night to test him? Is this where the sleepless nights come in full force?

Hmm
I don't know, I was just looking at his ss and was wondering if you had 'missed some blues around +5+6 Mark in the am cycle.

I don't actually see him as dropping particularly late in the cycle, he looks to be flattish yellows through the day, coming up at PS.

I'm thinking so too. Unfortunately I work in the office Mondays and Tuesdays, so I'm not home to test more during the day. I work from home tomorrow, so hopefully I will catch those elusive blues lol!

Gabrielle was it the am cycle we stopped the +1 snack? I think I would trial stopping the pm +1 snack as well and see how that goes. Just give it a bit later. What do you think?

Can't be helped, do what you can, we have to work to keep our cats in the anger to which they've become accustomed

Oh! I stopped the higher carb snack at +1 in the AM cycle. I think I misunderstood, I didn't realize we should cut out the +1 snack altogether! So right now I'm doing +1, +4, and +6 (all low carb). Should I just do the +4 and +6 for both cycles? Maybe add one more at a different time?

Haha for sure, they are used to the royal treatment now!

I would trial not giving anything at +1 and see how that goes. If he drops too much then reinstate it. Maybe try +3 and a +5 and see how that goes. So he doesn’t miss out on any food you can just increase the amount of the 2 snacks, to make up for the other snack not being given. What do you think? Will Cooper approve of that or will he be looking for the other snack?

Haha he is pretty obsessed with snack time, but if I give him extra in his other snacks perhaps he will forgive me. I will try it and just see how it goes. If it seems he is very upset about this new development, I can always add in just a little tidbit of freeze-dried chicken at +1 so he feels like he's getting something, hah!
