yesterday, our trip home from Thanksgiving in NYC: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=109103

Good Morning, Everyone,

We are home. Rusty is sleeping in his perch above the radiator. It is COLD (-1 degree F. this morning, but getting a little warmer). Rusty, the great traveler (no carsickness; interest in all aspects of the car ride), spent most of the trip on his "seat": a blanket on the armrest between the 2 front seats). The 18-hour shot schedule seemed to work pretty well (details in yesterday's condo). Last night Rusty was so tired and it was so chilly that he ate a little of his nighttime food before coming to bed, but never got up during the night to eat more. In any event, his AMPS is certainly a acceptable number. I think it would have been higher if he had eaten his nighttime food in the normal manner (over the course of the night, finishing it about an hour or so before AMPS).

Today we will have the usual getting-back-to-routine day: unpacking, doing laundry, shopping, cooking. The farmers' market is still active (indoors, in the Town Hall). This afternoon I plan to get a new pair of snowshoes (on sale: 30% off) that I have been eying since last winter.
We put up the door quilts on the doors to the porches this morning. They make a big difference, since the doors are French doors and the porches are unheated and COLD! (Our house was a tuberculosis "cure cottage" and each of the four, small upstairs rooms has its own porch, where the patient sat in all weather for many hours every day, "curing".)

Wishing you all a good day and sending lots of healing vines to those in need,

Ella & Rusty

Yo Kitties, Come over today and hang out on my radiators. Hot toddies and cimmamum cookies! We can go out and play in the snow, too.

Good Morning Ella!
Rusty looks great this morning! Doesn't seem like all that travelling is very hard on him at all. That's wonderful for you.
I have been thinking about getting a pair of snowshoes too. I've never had a pair, but I think I would enjoy the exercise and Murphy (drooler) would love to get out more in the winters. I also want to find a little sled for the pug so I can pull her with us. Her feet just get too cold for the walks, but she will LOSE her mind if I don't bring her when we go. :lol:
Very cool history on your house! I love buildings that had a life before I got there. So much character to a home like that. I tried to buy a big old country school house right before this home, but was outbid...lucky buggers!

Have a great catch up day!

Welcome home Ella and Rusty!! BURRRRRR...good thing for radiators :lol:
Nice AMPS for Rusty ;-) And good luck with the new juice!
Have fun with your new snowshoes and very cool story on the history of your house :smile:
Happy Caturday!!

Welcome home Ella. That's great that Rusty is such a great traveler, pretty unusual for a cat. That's very interesting history about your house.

Morning Ella ~O) ~O) ~O)
Auntie Ella!! I am on my way. It is too cold there not to be without some rally good espresso. I will make Ethiopian for you... See ya!! ~~ Elsa, Lil BIT, kitteh barista

Welcome home. Such a whirlwind adventure for all. I am glad that the 18 hour schedule worked for you. Seems like a good option when scheduling is an issue. It is a great start for Rusty today. Blues are always good. I will hope he has a great surf today, back to Rusty like numbers.

And it is +-1 out? and BRRRRR!

Happy shopping! Good luck with the snowshoes! That is a great deal. Which ones are you getting? One of these days I so hope to get out on a pair! ;-)

Stay warm, and enjoy the framers market!

Rusty - we are on out way! NO WAY can I pass up hot toddies and cimmamum cookies! Plus the radiators are major cool. ~~ Elsa

Welcome home. I'm glad Rusty traveled well. It looks like the 18 hour shot experiment worked out pretty well.
 
Re: 11/30 Rusty AMPS 194; new juice

Hi Ella. Rusty is looking good this morning. He sure is a good traveler; you must be proud of him. I can't blame him for not getting out of his warm bed to eat during the night if it was a -1 degrees. He might be a cat but he's not a crazy cat. :lol:

Hope you're able to find your snowshoes. That's quite a discount on them. Bet the door quilts really help keep the heat in. Your house has a neat history.

Have a great day Ella.

Welcome home, Ella!!!
I hope you all got a nice rest last night.

It's interesting about the history of your house.

Hi again,
Rusty slept a lot today. Those long trips are rough on him. His bgs are blue (or almost blue) and we are happy about that. We'll try to get him back to more greens now. The LagoonMeister misses the lagoon.

I bought the snowshoes (Tubbs Wilderness 25) and can't wait until we have enough snow to try them out. The hike scheduled for Monday could turn into a snowshoe if we get more snow.
bbl,

Ella & Rusty
 
Hi Ella & Rusty! Welcome Home! Glad Rusty travels so well - has he always been that way? Hope he drops back into the blues soon - Tigger needs someone to help him back to the lagoon, too!

Can't blame him either for wanting to snuggle in his warm bed last night - I hate having to get up in the middle of the night, too, Rusty - even for fuds!

Your house sounds lovely, Ella - do you have any exterior photos you could share of the porches? I'd love to see them!
