Re: 3/3 Tawny amps 233; +4.5/186; PMBG 101 HELP!

Bit of a problem if you can't monitor. You know she's likely to be back in pink if you miss (based on previous missed shots) but safety has to come first. I can't see that you've done a chicken shot recently to see how she reacts to that and we don't have a +10 or +11 to see which way she's going. You could stall for an hour and make sure she's rising if you feel comfortable doing that. What a shame she didn't do this to you at an AMPS!!

p.s. you have a blue coloured PMPS on 02/28 that should be pink.
 
Re: 3/3 Tawny +12 PMBG 101; +12.25 94 HELP! Stalling

well no way am i shooting anything...i'll have to stall...on daylight savings time night when I am trying to get her schedule moved anyway.

Input anyone? the plan right now is to not feed, not shoot, and test every 15 mins. she is mad b/c Tink already got to eat.
 
Re: 3/3 Tawny +12 PMBG 101; +12.25 94; +12.75/115 Stalling H

A slight rise but when I got the +12.25 she grabbed about 2 licks off the bottom of Tink's plate b4 I grabbed her, just the crumbles left but still????
 
Re: 3/3 Tawny +12 PMBG 101; +12.25 94; +12.75/115 Stalling H

I think this is the right plan under the circumstances, even if Tawny is mad about no dinner! If she shows another rise at +13 I think you should be okay to shoot. At + what will you get her last test before heading for bed?

Desi:

Are you going to be home to monitor? Do you have strips and HC?

I think I know the answer to all but the first question. Deep breath.

You are a seasoned traveler down this road. You're not a newbie. Shooting a number that's around 100 is safe. I shoot 50s. All stalling does, providing your cat isn't surfing 40s, is throw you off schedule and may predispose you for a wonky cycle.

In other words, SHOOOOOOOOT!!

+13 / 118 She is rising slowly. At the exact +13 mark now.

I am inclined to shoot w/in the next 15 if she's still rising.

Anybody else have input?

On the flip side, Tawny is demanding her FOOD!!! How great is that? And she's blue. :-D :-D :-D

Re: 3/3 Tawny +13 PMPS 128

OK at just past +13, about 1/2 way between that & +13.25, she had 128 so I shot her full dose.

She is now eating 1% food. That was my compromise between 6% and 0%. That 0% is making a huge difference.

Thank you ladies, I just always need validation. I always miss something it seems like when I have to make these decsisions.

I will be home, set the alarms for every couple hrs, hopefully they'll get me up. & I'll be up for a couple of hrs at least.

DBF is here (yes I finally have a boyfriend) & he absolutely loves cats (no way would I have a DBF that didn't :smile: ) & he totally gets it.

Sienne, you are correct & know the answers to the other 2 ?s: plenty of HC, Karo & strips at hand.

Now, was that so bad? We'll be shining up those BOS in no time!!

LOL Sienne! My BOS's are definitely a little a lot rusty!

Alarms are set for every 2 hrs. I haven't warned DBF about this tonite yet LOL!

Guess maybe I should elaborate on the DBF "yes I have a boyfriend" comment for the newbies...it sounds kind of strange now that I read it again. I was in such a hurry...pizza in the oven...diabetic kitty drama....

Long story short (as short as I can possibly make it anyway): in 2009 my 49 y/o DH who was also my BFF died tragically & unexpectedly after a wk in the hospital. He got better & on Friday they told him he'd be going home the following Mon or Tues. On Saturday he was dead. He loved Tinkerbell (I didn't have Tawny yet) & all our cats & critters dearly. At the time we only had 6 cats, the 3 dogs, & 4 horses. On Fri I took him his laptop and the very 1st place he logged onto was FDMB, to ck on his beloved Tinkerbell. I had been posting condos all wk which included DH updates.

2009 had already been a horrific year for us as the oldies here will remember. This board, these people, were my rock. When he died, my lifeline. Literally. I posted my pain, my grief, my horror, my fear. & I got support here. Love, kindness and support. Unparalleled support. dozens of cards in the mail. hundreds of posts to help me thru, to let me know the people of FDMB were there for me. This board, & Tinkerbell, literally saved my life. Tinkerbell, b/c if I hadn't had her to take care of I know I would have just withered up and died too, and FDMB, for the constant support. Sometimes I couldn't even post, the grief was so intense, but I would sit for hours upon hours, in the dark, in the middle of the night, read condos & surf the board. Night after night. When I posted, everyone came back with love and support and kindness. Even writing about it now brings me to tears when I think of the love of the people on this board.

This is why Tinkerbell's OTJ video is dedicated to Thom.

One never recovers from this kind of trauma, this kind of pain. I still get blindsided by it out of the blue sometimes. But I am still here. You never, ever recover, but I think maybe you can finally learn to live outside that big black monster, grief, in your center. This is what I am finally trying to learn to do. Live outside the big black monster called grief.

And every day, Tinkerbell, Tawny, all my other critters, and this board, continue to help me learn how to do that.

So anyway that's why it was kind of weird about the whole DBF comment.

& he's great, and he loves all of us. & he totally gets the whole critter thing, and the diabetic kitty thing. When Tawny was in the hospital, he was nothing but supportive. Tonight, he had to wait over an hour for his pizza b/c of Tawny, no problem. Right now he is waiting for me to finish posting! no problem.

You just gotta love a guy like that. I miss Thom, I can't even begin to express how much.

But I am really lucky to have had two men in my life that totally get it.

(((((Desi))))) I am so sorry about Thom. I'm glad DBF is such a sweetheart and you have that kind of support. :-D How was the pizza?

Hello, this is your resident moron who at 10pm tonight as I was going down to set my clocks back an hour realized when I heard nothing on the news about it that I better go google it first and come to find out it's not daylight savings time time til next week.

DUH DUH DOUBLE DUH. :roll: :roll: :roll: :? :? :roll: :roll: :roll:

And here I've been moving shot times up for a day and a half.

Good God. I am such a moron.

So at least Tawny's late shot tonight is not as big a disaster as I though schedule wise.

DUH DUH TRIPLE DOUBLE DUH.

Just checked that and figured it must be different in your state :lol:
I am sorry about your DH and I know you will always miss him; happy to hear you have a DBF who also loves cats and critters. Enjoyed reading some of your history. LL is a great place (as near as I can tell in 2 months)!
