Happy Sunday! Sending more healing vines out for Max, Trixie, Lucy, Rex, and any other sweet babies that need them.

Our LBG is such a smart little thing and she knows what she wants when she wants it! The latest batch of WN Turkey does not appeal to Gracie or Tobey but they will eat it with a little hesitation. So last night it was WN Turkey on the menu and Gracie had left a bit on her plate. I put some FD chicken dust on it but it wasn't enough to convince her. So I took two little shrimpies and embedded them in the little bit of food left. I thought they were embedded enough that in order to eat her beloved shrimpies, she'd have to lick up the Turkey, too. Nope. Gracie 3 Mama -12. Somehow my little Principessa managed to gingerly get the shrimpies out without touching the Turkey :lol: :lol:

Her numbers have started getting wonky and it's day 42 on the pen. I can't figure out why I am not able to get these pens to last until they are empty when she's getting such a small dose. I have 1/4 of a pen left and we are so careful with them. They are stored in a drawer with a refrigerator thermometer right next to them so I can keep an eye on the temp which is always at 40 degrees F. We haven't ever dropped them; we take the pen out, draw the dose, put the pen back in the frig, and then adjust the dose. We don't leave the frig drawer or the frig open. The wonkiness is just her coming down, stopping, and then going right back up. She seems to only do that when the pen is on the fritz. I'm going to give it a couple more cycles and then we'll see.

Rich came by this morning to start his indoctrination to caring for LBG and Tobes next weekend while we go away for two days for our anniversary. She, Tobey, and I had gone btb this morning and so when I got up to get dressed, she stayed in bed. She was still there when Rich came and she seemed a little shy MAMA!! What's that man doing in our bedroom???? :shock: :shock: :shock: But she did not seem bothered when he stood right there while I showed him how I test her. However, she only took a few licks off her +2 breffis and then was more concerned about his presence than eating. Of course, I"m nailbite_smile nailbite_smile nailbite_smile because I am confident he can deal with testing/shooting. But If she is not going to eat, that's a different story. It's odd, too, because she is a good eater. At any rate, he hung around until +3 and she felt comfy enough then and cleaned her plate and ate some FD chicken treats out of his hand. He's going to come back tonight to T/F/S and we'll see how it goes. He's so calm and gentle with them. Tobey LOVES him. So I think it will just be Gracie getting used to him.

Hope you all have a great day.

The Sista's are in cahouts again: daytime bounce, night time lagoon visits. :roll: I hope it's not your pen again, but day 42 seems to be a common theme for wonky pens at your place.

Funny story on Gracie and her shrimpies. I think she's telling you to get some better WN Turkey before next weekend. Some kitties are just more nervous around strangers eating, although I'm pretty sure Rich and LBG will be best buds in no time.

How cute Gracie managed to get those shrimpies out of the fuds. :lol: I hope Gracie gets used to Rich and eats so you won't have to worry. With the board wonkiness I've missed he was going to help. That's great you'll be able to get away for your anniversary.
 
Re: 4/27 Gracie AMPS 195 +2 286 +5 267

you know, those purebite shrimpies do crumble nicely. Hard to get all the shrimp dust without getting a little turkey. ;-) :-D


I have the best luck with putting out the most favorite food to be fed by someone else. Even if they won't eat in front of the caretaker, they seem to eat well enough
after they leave the house. Perhaps Rich can sit outside for 20 minutes after putting the food bowl down and then come back and see how it's going.

Glad someone was able to step up and help with your anniversary....
you are too dang far from me....

Marje!! Yay!!! I'm so happy you're going to be able to make your trip. Sending mega positive vines that Gracie will get used to Rich quickly. If Tobey's on team Rich, I'm sure it won't be long before Gracie is too.

Come on Gracie, follow Toby's lead so mom can take a little vacation.

I think Gracie is just being a girlie girl and playing hard to get. ;-) I'm sure she'll be best buds with Rich soon - he's already got her eating out of his hand, right?! Soon he'll be eating out of hers - she'll charm the heck out of him. Better warn him not to let her talk him into giving her extra shrimpies! ;-) :lol: As for Tobey, I think he's just a little lover. :-D

How strange about the pen. We use a vial, so I'm not familiar with the vagarities of pens, but we haven't had any problems with our insulin going bad. We used the previous vial for about four months, and probably could have kept using it. We thought Cinco's numbers were bad because it was too old, but now we know it was the Bartonella. Of course, ECID, and some cats are probably more sensitive to changes in the jus as it ages than others are.

Now that you know you get to go, I'll be you're getting excited about your anniversary getaway! I know you'll have a wonderful time!

Work that jus, Gracie!
 
Thank you all for visiting today. It's been a work day for me :evil: and I'm still not done so looks like I'll be working into the night. We have a meeting on all this tomorrow afternoon but carpet cleaners are coming in the morning so I have to be done.

Rich did FABULOUS with LBG!! She let him test her (he was so gentle), give her ursodiol, shoot, and she licked her plate clean and batted her eyelashes at him for shrimpies :-D :-D And Tobey just thinks Rich hung the moon so that's all good. I hope it is true that as she sees Tobey comfortable with Rich, she will be, too. She was really relaxed tonight.

yes....now I'm getting so excited I can hardly stand it!!!!

Sorry i can't be around to visit tonight. Have a great evening.
