Good morning Lantus Land! It is another bright lovely, sunny morning in Arizona. Sending those healing rays to all who need them today.

Gracie is a happy little love bug this morning despite this number; she appears to be around where she was last night so I don't know if she surfed it or went up and came back down. She's been very engrossed in keeping track of the "bad mens" and does not seem stressed by them. In fact, I wonder if she will miss them when they are gone? Gracie got an adjustment yesterday by the vet chiropracter that comes every week for Gus. She seemed to really enjoy it and she was a little rotated in the lumbar region of her spine...all is good now.

Today my patience pants are PINK and we have three bounce cycles down, three to go. Gracie typically clears her bounces pretty durn fast and, at the longest time, in four cycles, but I promise to hang in there. I'd like to know if I get a special award when I get through this waiting? :lol: :lol: :lol: (Patience is not my strong suit...would you have guessed?) I am trying to remember that good things come to those who wait as we have recently witnessed with the fabulous "KK" aka Tess. :lol: :lol:

Gracie sent her daddybean out to get fresh tortillas for the fresh fish that Rusty is bringing today. I think they plan on firing up the grill for fish tacos and I made mango salsa with cilantro for their tacos. I think Mike has several other little hors d'oeurves and desserts up his sleeve but I won't spill the beans. Under the guarding, the catnip patch has flourished and so when the deck is done, we may need to have one last party and distribute that catnip around for everyone who has worked so hard to protect it.

OT Quick report on our civvies: Miss Teddi Bear (almost 16) was just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism so I have her on a low dose of methimazole. Because her kidneys are borderline and her age, she is not a candidate for I131. We hope to get her stable and have her put on a little weight. Gus (15) just had recent bloodwork and his creatinine has risen again from 3.8 to 4.2. BUN is fairly stable at 71. His phosphorus came down (WHOOP!!) and his potassium, calcium, HCT, HGB, and RBCs are holding nice and steady in normal ranges. We did up his squids to 125 mls sid. His appetite is great so we are focusing on his QOL and keeping him comfy.

Off to TBP. Have an awesome day. And Gracie...time to let mama take off these hideous pink pants. Love you baby girl.

Thanks for the great report, Marje! You certainly have your hands full with the three furbabies.

Gracie, move on down now please!
 
Re: 4/19 Gracie AMPS 311

Morning guys! sorry that those patience pants are pink this AM. I suspect that they will be a better color as the day goes on. I can so relate to the patience pants.... aiyee! Mannie usually is a fast clearer of those bounces too - however... we did go through a spell where he wasn't so fast. frustrating in that I knew I needed to make a dose change, couldn't, or rather wouldn't, cuz he was bouncing, and taking more than one cycle to get through it. :roll: well anyways... she will get there, and GO GRACIE! :cool:

It sounds like the civies are doing well. not too bad for seniors. I hope Gus will respond to the squids. WOW on the hyper T for miss Teddi Bear - hope that the meds will help her - it should. too bad that you can't do the I131, but do understand the reasoning.

and a vet chiropractor? nice! I should look into that for my eldest... I wonder if it would help her. She walks like a senior.... hmmmmm, and food for thought.

Gracie - WOW, and what a day! I am on my way. Fish from Rusty, chickens from Zoe, and Beef briskets from Moonie! and your beans - they are the best. see you soon! ~~ Mannie

PATIENCE PANTS! I love it. These must be Lantus Land's own "Traveling Pants." You can pass them to the next condo when Gracie decides she looks better in blue. Green even.

Enjoy that mango salsa!
 
Re: 4/19 Gracie AMPS 311

LOL you need me to find you a coupon for your pink patience pants, Marjorie? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lovely report. Glad that you have a game plan in place to help the civies!! Hope you have a wonderfuul day!!
 
Re: 4/19 Gracie AMPS 311

Come on down Miss Gracie! You really don't want mama wearing pin do you? You're so close!

Hmmmmm?? Wouldn't it be lovely if we could make our kitties change colors by changing the color of our Patience Pants? :lol: :lol: Although, i guess I'd have to stop wearing black!

On my way! Hey, Checkabunny went OTJ today too! Emergency Party!!!!!! :o :o -- Tess

DH here - Looks like 1 more flat bounce cycle so far. It could turn into one of her sliders too. We'll see. More bad mens here this morning. We have a big, old mesquite tree in the front courtyard that they kind of built the house around. We have a tree service come every spring to feed and prune it. The guys are working right outside the enclosed patio and Gracie and Tobey are sitting out there shoulder to shoulder watching every move they make. It looks like they are watching a tennis match, little heads turning in perfect sync. :-D
 
Re: 4/19 Gracie AMPS 311 +2 270 +4 299

DH here - 299 at +4. I guess it isn't going to be a sliding day. Hopefully she will now keep me up all night tonight :lol:
 
Re: 4/19 Gracie AMPS 311 +2 270 +4 299

patience pants...I love it!!

Lil G...get your numbers down NOW!

(and while i havent said much because i think it can increase the frustration for others...YES, there IS a huge reward!) :-D
 
Re: 4/19 Gracie PMPS 319

Good evening.....the good news is...she has been relatively flat all day. Since she didn't come down any huge amount, I went ahead and started a new pen as it is time to do so. I don't think bad juice has any role in these numbers...just clearing the bounce. I thought it would be a good time to get the new pen going. Last thing I want is for her to start clearing the bounce AND start a new pen. She could do it anyway tonight but....less likely than if her PMPS had been 200. I am just really hoping I did not give a fur shot. I saw just a little bit of insulin on her skin and I think it was from a drop that was on the outside of the syringe.

Time for din din. Will check in later.
 
Re: 4/19 Gracie PMPS 319

I have never been a fan of bouncy days. They are harder in some way to deal with than the dives: patience..... and good idea on the pen! I have run into that with Mannie too - on the drop of insulin on the outside of the syringe that stays in the fur.

OK Gracie - ow it is time to get down to business - just a nice slow descend, no diving, just enough to post a great amps tomorrow. OK?

have a great evening guys!

Gracie!! KTSS tonight to - Shadow doesn't feel so good... ~~ Mannie

Re: 4/19 Gracie PMPS 319 +2 238

Michelle: looks like I didn't give a fur shot...I think :lol: :lol: Normally I make absolutely sure I get all the excess drips off the syringe before I shoot but didn't tonight....new pen, new drama drawing the dose.

Nicole: hey girl....miss your condos so we can check on Miss Furbaby Fabulous!! Congrats on the reductions and hope she stops bouncing!

Thanks to all who checked in today.

Christie: I'll gladly take you up on the coupon searching :lol: :lol:

I am headed for beddie bye and let Mike deal with whatever may appear or not appear to be happening tonight......keeping an open mind, Jill!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Re: 4/19 Gracie PMPS 319 +2 238

YAY ! no fur shot! oh I know on the excess rips - I try too.... sometimes I've found I am unsuccessful for whatever reason. :?

NI NI - hope she finds a good surf spot.
