Every time I order from ADW I am so impressed with the speed of their service. I ordered her new syringes late on Sunday night, didn't pay for faster delivery and had them in hand and ready to use for last night's pm shot. :thumbup Really need to remember that I can also order my test strips for my Micro from them as well. Because we have now renamed our Walmart here to We're OUTmart! This last week I had to go to Walmart 5 different times to get enough Friskies to feed my bunch and that was even after getting them 3 days worth at another store that is much higher priced than Walmart simply because they carry flavors that Walamrt doesn't. Never did catch them with our litter in stock and ended up having to go to the farm supply store for that. :evil: grumpy_cat It is starting to get silly the amount of time, energy and gas I am having to spend to get the simple basics of life there. And with a limited access to other local stores that carry pet supplies around here I think I'm going to start the search to get most of it online. I'm usually one that likes to shop locally so that my money stays in my community even if that is in the way of wages to employees but when that is no longer more economical for me to do so I'm more than willing to pay a little more to have the luxury of walking of out my front door to pick up my supplies than running all over town to find 16 cans of cat food here, a 40 lb box of litter there and so on. Just the wear and tear on my vehicle, the cost of the gas to do the running and my time is worth the extra price point.
OMG I'm in LOVE with the Terumos! Super nice syringe although it is going to take me some trial and error to figure out where her dose is on them as opposed to the Relion's that I have been using since there is no dead space on the Terumos. Now that we have the new syringes in hand I am going to start walking her up again in dose and see if I can get her curve to lower overall. I'm also getting towards the end of the cartridge that I started before Halloween so it could also be losing some of it's punch as well, but I wanted to make one change at a time, so I know exactly what is making the change in her numbers.
With the loss of Angel I said that we were scraping the Christmas plans which isn't exactly true, some of what was planned is still planned in that we are still having our first Christmas tree, and we are still working on restarting some of the old traditions of our childhood like going out to look at the lights, going sledding (if we ever get snow), still planning on spending at least one day with DH baking and decorating cookies etc. What did get scraped was the gifts to everyone this year. There is only one gift that is going to be given and that is to the Fur Gang. They are getting their vertical highway and new cat trees, so they have safe places to jump on. If I can't stop them from doing what is natural which is wanting to jump into high places, then I have to make those places safe for jumping. Plus now that we are in a bigger house, there are bigger open spaces that some of mine that are very shy or timid around the other cats have to cross where they feel unsafe from the more aggressive cats. So giving them vertical spaces to reach the other rooms will also hopefully give them more confidence to join the rest of the family in the front part of the house as well.
I also just went out and purchased 20 craft Christmas ornaments the kind that you can fill and decorate yourself. One of the new plans for Christmas is that DH and I are taking a weekend to make an ornament for each of the animals, both those that are still living and one for Muse, Musette, Onyx and Angel. So that every year, when we put up the tree and place the ornaments on that tree our furry family will always be together at least on the tree. When new members join the family as the years pass then we will make them their own ornaments. And each year we plan on adding ornaments for our human family members as well. Just this year we will have enough to do with just the fur wearing members.
