Good morning! It is cold here (finally!), coldest it's been all winter. I can't wait for the snow!

I think the baddies are gone- she has been in the pinks and yellows for a cycle now- despite a possible fur shot (and another this morning :-x ) . I put it in more parallel so she doesn't squeak that it hurts and I miss sometimes... :roll:

other than that she is eating well and tests well :-D

Thanks for missing us.
 
I'll try and send any snow we get your way. :-D I so dislike snow and can't wait to move south after I retire! :lol:

Since I moved to the u100 syringes with the shorter needles, I'm having to be much more aware if it's in or not. I've been lucky so far to not have a fur shot, but I've come darn close quite a few times - especially if he shifts. I usually give Poopy his shot while his face is in his food bowl - but that's when he shifts the most. I have more control when I have him on my lap for the shot. I use the lower portion of my thumb as a guide (he has medium length fur so I can't see the skin - too fluffy!) of where to stick the needle in the tent. Have you noticed differences of when/where you shoot and fur shots? Any variables you can remove?
 
Theresa-

I do need to get some 100u needles. I've got some sewing projects coming due so will purchase then. I used to feel for the resistance of the skin but at the angle I am not really feeling it and shoot thinking I have gone through the skin. I feel like such a bad mamma bean when she squeaks to let me know it hurts. I thought I felt the resistance this morning and shot but i think I moved it before all of it was out. I think she did get some into her system- just not all. Today's wet spot was a less than yesterdays- which was a TOTAL miss. But I did nice AMPS in spite of that so that makes me think the extra carbs are gone and the new cycle has started... yet again :lol: .

Sue-

Until I started adding it up last night I realized it was actually Hamburger Helper sauce, milk and ranch dressing (she WILL fight me on this one tooth and claw :!: ).
 
Very nice AMPS.

It's been a very strange winter here too. It's been much warmer and what little snow falls it melts within a few days.
 
Ever since Poopy joined my family he has always had at least one bite of my food. Always. When he was diagnosed, it was one of the heartbreaker things I had to do - stop sharing my food with the Poop (except for the occasional bite of meat - after I've finished and all animals get a bite). He's gotten much better about not asking, although when something interests him in particular he can be rather demanding with his not quite begging but insistent he should have a bite or two. When he gets insistent, I go ahead and test him so he can have his very own chunk of raw chicken. He forgets about wanting my food, being busy with his chicken. :-D

A weird tidbit - Poopy loves green olives! I wonder if there's any carbs in olives?
