Good Morning, Everyone,
Rusty seems to be stuck in the mid yellows, so, as promised, up we go. He got a drop added to his dose, which I will call a fat 1.5 units (2.33mm on the digital calipers, Terumo syringe). Rusty had the greatest play session last night. He batted his bell balls all around the living room and played kitty soccer with me. He is so quick when he is in the mood! He used to play like that all the time, but I think his chronic congestion has taken a toll. Also, we really have no idea how old he is. When he was rescued from the streets of Plymouth MA in Nov. 2008 he was already found to be diabetic. So he probably wasn't young then. Anyway, I hope we can get him back to the greens and low blues that he had just a few weeks ago (before the corticosteroid ear meds, the fur shot, and the 2 reduced shots given when I was at the wedding). The dosecrease 4 cycles ago didn't do anything, so hopefully today's dosecrease will be the stimulus he needs to get back on track. Another incentive: we will be going to NYC for Thanksgiving week and those trips always spike his bgs, so we want to get them lower now, so we have something to spike from without going through the roof.
Today is a special day: we are having our piano tuned (after 7 years it needs it desperately!). Rusty is supervising the piano technician. Although both Edward and I are musicians, we are not pianists. I haven't played the piano in years (not since passing the piano-proficiency boards in college). I may try to play again, but it is going to take a lot of practice. Something to work on this winter?
Wishing everyone a fine Friday. TGIF!! The sun is out here and warmer temperatures are settling in. Tomorrow we may be able to go paddling.

Yo Kitties, We need to do more planning for our Full Beaver Moon Party, which will be on Sunday. Everyone invited to come help plan. We needs to find a venue. I heard of a place called "Beaver Camp" on the Beaver River. It's way out in the wilds, but it might be fun. There are lots of beaver dams and beaver lodges on the Beaver River. Maybe we can "visit" one. We'll have to take all our fuds and camp stoves and grills. It could be an adventure. What do you guys think? See you soon on my radiators. Tobey is going to bake batches of cimmamum cookies and Elsa is bringing some catnip cocoa. I have a batch of hot tuna toddys made up.
