Good morning!!

Singing *tiny bouncer* to the tune of ‘tiny dancer’ this morning.

Hope you do the same thing as yesterday, Gusto <3

 

[Sue and Luci]

WOW! Gus, what a lovely run in the lagoon yesterday! He really knows how to surf doesn't he!

Come on back down Gus - the water if fine!!!

Have a great day Kim!

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Getting a +5 or +6 to see if he is headed lower?

 

[Gus the Furminator]

Ya, I did … but emails.. work stopped me from posting.

286 @ +6 - hoping for a quick bounce cycle..

Looks like he’s taking a breather today but he’s starting to get the hang of surf time Cowabunga dude!

Thanks Sue! Hope you have a lovely day also!

 

[Tiger(GA) and Ruth]

Now I'll be humming Tiny Dancer in my head all day long LOL!

 

[carfurby (GA)]

I hope Gus comes back down soon.

 

[Gus the Furminator]

Might be in for another night like 1/24.. gonna grab a +3/4 and see what’s up

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Yeah, after 2 nights off, you are due for an all-nighter!

 

[Gus the Furminator]

83 @ +4!!! Yup, looking like it

Should I give him some HC? MC? Or just LC for meow?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Just seeing this. I would do HC.

I think he might be done with this dose.

 

[Gus the Furminator]

Ok. He was about to eat me so I feed him mostly HC but with some LC … he’s still hungry but I’ll hold him off for 20 more mins at next test

 

[Bandit's Mom]

They get ravenous when they sense a drop coming. And when their BG is dropping fast.

He does it when he’s high too..

He’s 58 @ +5. Straight HC for him

 

[Gus the Furminator]

His one ear is reallllly red and pretty warm, not just the sweet spot.. the middle too. I noticed it at PMPS. I’m going to avoid that ear and monitor it but not sure what’s up with that - he does seem to be bother by it, he’s not pawing at it or anything

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Let's see if that keeps him up. I think he wants a reduction and you can avoid it only so long. After that you will get one of those crazy cycles where he is hard to keep above 50 even with HC and karo.

yikes.. ya, I don’t want that - not being able to keep him up above 50 with HC or Karo makes me a bit nervous

 

[Gus the Furminator]

58 @ +6 - went with HC again

 

[Bandit's Mom]

58 @ +6 - went with HC again

Don't feed at +7. I will check-in in 30 mins at +7 and let's figure out what to feed.

ETA: What's your HC%?

 

[Gus the Furminator]

I have high HC 17% and 19% been using the 19%

The only MC I have is 12%.. so mixing the HC with LC has been my go to.. I hope to get out this weekend and find another MC maybe a 13/14%… maybe also a lower HC option too… it’s tough because he only eats the pate - he’s not a fan of in gravy stuff he just swipes it away..

67 @ +7

 

[Bandit's Mom]

67 @ +7

LC and test at +8?

 

[Gus the Furminator]

LC and test at +8?

Sounds good

 

[Gus the Furminator]

Are you maybe thinking of lessening the HC intake so that he can get his reduction? I Don’t think he’ll get a reduction now tonight but maybe I should have done LC at +6?

Edited *should have done LC at +6 not shouldn’t have

 

[Bandit's Mom]

No. I'm thinking we can go easy on the HC now that he is headed up/stopped falling. Let's see if he stays up once the HC wears off!

 

[Gus the Furminator]

67 @ +8… feeding him some more LC

 

[Bandit's Mom]

What a beautiful surf!

 

[Gus the Furminator]

He’s really doing well these last few cycles/days.. long surfs and record breaking bounce cycles.. moving right back into a good range. Even the blues make me happy! I rather like this new dance Makes me do my happy dance!

 

[Gus the Furminator]

Probably safe for me to hit the hay, eh? I’m thinking maybe so?

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Does he have access to food? I'm thinking he should be okay but I don't want to risk him doing a dip at the end of the cycle and going too low to shoot.

He just had a rather large meal.. he gets lucky sometimes with his sisters leftovers.. I could set an alarm for +9.5/9.75 (in an hour/hour 15)… don’t think I’ll be having an issue with ‘napping’ at this point

Also, good point.. I want to steer him away from too low to shoot..
