3/5 Hershey - going the wrong way? go up more? hold on?

[Doug N Libby]

Hershey has been on the revised scale for 10 cycles now. I'm wondering if I'm going the wrong way - not going up enough - or should just hold on a few more cycles... confused_cat

Thoughts?

THANKS!!!!

Libby (and Hershey, too!)

PS - I have two more posts about to come out, but as they were unrelated, didn't want to muddy this one with TMI. Stay tuned!



Upped Hershey's scale by .1u for each range (as of PMPS 2/29), so:
350+ .9u
300 - 349 .8u
250 - 299 .7u
200 - 249 .6u

(He eats at shot time and +6)

Bought a harness and leash - that was a yeehaw! video moment!! Going to try another design...

3/5/12
AMPS (309) .8u
+6 (212)

PMPS (311) Walked 10X; .8u - Wasn't a fur shot
+6 (408) Walked 2X; Got pretty upset with me during testing - Immediate retest (405)
+6.5 (389) Wondering how much stress plays into his numbers & how long it takes to clear


3/6/12
AMPS (343) Less than +6, so waiting :15 to retest, make sure he's rising
+12.25 (349) Didn't rise much (but only :15), but is rising Feed
+12.75 Shoot .8u

I think your are on the right path. Both of your PS's today are 80 points lower than yesterday and were almost yellow.

I wouldn't increase by more than .1u at a time but you can increase faster if you want.

You are getting very close to regulation.

:lol: Hershey, I want to see the video. I'm picturing it alot like Ginny with Alex and his calming collar.

 

[Ginny & Alex]

I want to see the video too!!

 

[Teresa and Poopy]

I'd love to see the video as well!

If it was anything like when I started halter training the Poopster, Hershey was a floppy cat...as if you'd wounded him deeply...a drama kitty. :lol: Or he was like Mia...sudden rabbit...or bucking bronco...hopping around as if to knock the thing off! :lol:

I wanna see!

Thankful there isn't really a video, 'cuz it might be considered cruelty to animals, if you believe his reaction. :roll: He started with this 'You've got to be kidding me' look...among other things -m he hobbled...almost limped... and ended with the rolling around in anguish trying to get it off. *ugh*
