I hope Noodle keeps sliding down today.

Come on now Noodle, slide down a bit further - it's a good start but we'd like to see you just a little bit lower today!

 

[Patricia & Noodle]

Thanks for the encouragement, Carla and April! Been a busy day so far. I caught Noodle trying to bury a poo outside the litter box today, it wasn't diarrhea or anything, so I'm going to keep an eye on it. There was hair in it (mine ) , so I wonder if it just got stuck on the way out and she got it out once she'd left the box. Lovely morning surprise.

PM dosing question since I don't know how much time I'll have when I get home:
If she's continued this downward slide/bounce break and is in blues at PMPS, should I proceed with the dosecrease or stick at 1u for the time being? She won't have hit greens in 6 cycles, but I don't think adding an increase to a bounce break would be smart. I'll defer to more experienced advice here, though. Thoughts?

I think it's too early to consider this a "bounce breaking" cycle

Let's see how the rest of the day goes

I'm not a dosing advisor but if she continues to slide and you don't get any answers I would wait until morning and if no green tonight I would increase. I hope an advisor responds. Good luck.

Oh, yes! I know it's early. I just wasn't sure if I'd be home with enough time to consult for advice at PMPS itself, so I wanted to get an idea of how to handle a situation like that in case nobody was around and I had to shoot. It's looking like I'll be back by +11, so I will have time to see what's going on.

@tiffmaxee Thanks, Elise. I was thinking that would be a smart strategy, but didn't know!

Yikes, over 60 pts in 1 hour at the end of her cycle. Don't feel safe increasing tonight. I'll see what 1u does and reevaluate in the morning.

 

[manxcat419]

I think that's a good idea - she might still need the increase depending on how she does tonight, but better to do it in the morning than have to stay up all night with her.

Yeah, I think I may have gone ahead and dosecreased if the drop from +11 to 12 hadn't been so drastic. I just didn't feel super comfortable doing it after such a fast drop.

 

[manxcat419]

I agree - either she's nadiring very late or she's just broken the bounce and is headed down. Definitely safest not to increase until you see exactly where she's planning to go next on the 1 unit.

Another 50 points down! Maybe I'll see (safe, surfable) green tonight after all. ***anti jinx***

Let's see how the "mini meals" (3oz spread across +1-5) keep her surfing!

 

[manxcat419]

Fingers crossed for a nice safe, green surf for Noodle tonight (anti-jinx)!

 

[Patricia & Noodle]

Another 60 point drop! Added some gravy to her next snack, trying to keep her from dropping lower.

 

[manxcat419]

Yay for some GREEN Noodle! Not too fast now though - you've a way to go with this cycle yet!! I'll get Rosa to keep an eye on her - and drag her back in if she goes too far into the deep end!!

 

[tiffmaxee]

I'm glad she made it quite clear that she bounced and cleared it. I thought this would happen.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Another successful dosecrease threat! Surf Noodle!

You've got to love it when the threat works
