Yesterday was ....... RAINBOW KITTY day in MannieLand. I SWEAR that dosecrease threats work! or... another testimonial for patience does work. It was a nice day for him, a bit extreme in that we hit all colors..... It was great to see him find the greens - it has been a while... Rumor has it that the Blue Mannie Group was found jammin' live in NYC, with a guest appearance by the Rainbow Bandit. .. I hear too that the party ended up at the green Lagoon. Well done Mannie!!! I sure like those blues and greens. Maybe we can try for that again today. Lubs ya big guy! cat_pet_icon
When thinking about the rainbow bandit I could not help but remember a post written by Christie of Christie and Willie sometime ago when Mannie was being that Rainbow Bandit over and over again... I thought I'd share it. if only becasue it is so darn funny. Thankyou Christie for your sense of humor!
All is well in MannieLand.
WHAT A DAY! the green lagoon! AND! A DGS and Mannie moment... This was so sweet. DGS is usually eating breffis when I do one of Mannie's tests. I always stop by the table when I get Mannie, so they can share a moment or two. Today Nicholas offered Mannie a raspberry, which of course was a no go. DUH. :roll: :lol: :lol: And then Nicholas reached over to pet Mannie, leaned n real close and kissed him on the lips. :shock: :shock:
ANd Mannie just sat there and purred. UNREAL! if it had been any one of my other cats I would not have let him try for fear of claw retaliation, but not Mannie. I knew he'd be as gentle as he was. WOW on it all. Kitty kisses!
This morning we had a great test, feed and shoot and clean plate club , purrs and lots of cuddles. Normalcy in MannieLand.
BP MEDS: I wanted to update everyone on Mannie's Dx of Hypertension. My vet and the cardiologist had their consult, and both are of the opinion that Mannie needs to be on Meds for Hypertension. SO.... I will pick that up today and start sometime today. They will put him on half tablet of Lodapine (SP???) to start, with monitoring every 10 days until we find the right dose for him.
Have a great day everyone. I am back on DGS duty for the week. Today will be a swim day for Nicholas, and then hopefully we can find a nice outdoor spot, maybe the beach, or a creek today if it is not too cold, or wet, and if we have time to travel. Not too sure at this point if that will be doable or not. I will try and get to condos when I can, but probably not until late in the evening. There is just no time when he is here.. I will miss you guys - and your furkids. Think blue think green kitties!
KITTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Full Moon TIME! it is the Beaver Full Moon, and we will party at Rusty's Barn. It will be perfect!! I so lubs it there, I have the party bus all set to go, with extra fleece for everyone. Rusty says there is snow in the mountains. I so hope we can go and see. I have mittens and scarves and stuff for everyone too. The pots on the bus stove are bubbling with hot tuna toddies too. See you guys - let's roll! ~ Mannie OOOOOO! The Party menu:
And completely OT: Here are some photos from DGS's and my adventures yesterday: swimming: a long solid morning of swimming, and a local beach. He was in that water for two hours, and even then I had to drag him out. What a great time for him. It was another day of non-stop motion. He loves to jump in, once again it was over and over and over.... The beach was great, cold, but great! I've included the FaceBook links for anyone that wants to see all the photos, and the videos: Swimming and Picnic Point

RAINBOW BANDIT STRIKES AGAIN
Lantus Land (AP)
Regular posters to the Feline Diabetes Message Board (FDMB) experienced again today what has become a frequent experience in their domain. A cat named Mannie once again showed such bouncing numbers that the beans on the board were baffled once again by his ability to show such rapid increases and decreases in blood glucose. Dubbed "The Rainbow Bandit," Mr. Mannie deftly demonstrated the power of Lantus insulin and left many practically speechless in his wake. At times, his movements were so stealthy, they could barely be detected, but were made obvious by his "signature," a trail of nanners. If you see this cat standing near a cliff or bungee jumping apparatus, you are asked to, for the love of god, do all you can to keep him there. However, if you are in a position to approach, do not make contact with the nanners or other toys, as it could create for a dangerous situation. This cat, if provoked in such a manner, should be considered armed and dangerous.
If you have any information on the current BG numbers of the Rainbow Bandit, you are urged to contact Lantus Land at 1800NANNERS.
All is well in MannieLand.
