We are 5 cycles into this bounce, but I have no clue when the wonkiness will subside. Measuring this tiny dose on the Monojects seems to be beyond me; the calipers don't tell me how much insulin is hiding in the cone. I'm holding the present dose (skinny 0.1 unit) for another day (we'll be out of town all day tomorrow).
In any event, Rusty is eating pretty well and seems to be enjoying life (although he doesn't like it when we go out). We finally have some pretty good snow. Rusty ventured outside for about 20 seconds today! He feels the cold now that he is so skinny, even through his long-haired coat. Even the squirrels on the birdfeeders didn't entice him to stay outside!
Going downstairs now to hold the dinner bowl for our fine kitty.

I can remember tossing some syringes as the marking and cone and needle placement in that cone was so off. Aiyeee.... Withing you luck. 
This year he will have a party for his classmates too, the week after Christmas. Such excitement! 
School is going well for them both, at the end of this week Christmas break begins, off for two weeks, and a day or two. nice! We have done several holiday festivities for them, Light shows and Christmas parades. They have been fun. 
. Vanessa continues to handle her protocol and meds for her lymphoma very well. We still have had no visible reaction to her chemo drug, and recent BW supports that fact. All was within normal range. Good news! her IM Vet was very happy with the results. So we are continuing with the protocol as originally prescribed, and will retest BW in a few weeks. She has also gained another 3 ounces, back up to 9.0 pounds, just shy of a pound gained since her Dx at the end of September. YAY! As far as she is concerned, life is as it has always been. She is happy and content, except when it is med time. 
Did you get a different tree? It's great that Vanessa is responding so well to her meds and is gaining weight. She now weighs more than Rusty (who dropped to 8.5 lbs. at his last vetty visit). He is skin and bones. Give all the kitties extra scritches from us.
