PurrFace had a nice time surfing the blue zone last night and thankfully decided to continue it into today's AM cycle.

The two ladies had some sort of disagreement this morning. I just sat downtown have 1st ~O) when a gray streak flashed in front of me. It was Heidi making a mad dash into the tube on top of their cat tree. Following close behind was Katie. Now Heidi is in the tube looking down at Katie and Katie is sitting on the floor looking up at Heidi. Unfortunately Katie made the mistake of turning her head away at which time Heidi, not one to miss an opportunity to one of the big lady, reached down and swatted her a good one on top of the head. This isn't the first time this has happened and normally Katie just walks away. This time however Katie make it quick about face and lunged right up to the top of tree, into the tube and on top of Heidi. This resulted in a lot of hissing and growling. The next thing I saw was a gray streak again, running as quickly as possible for the cat door that goes to the screen porch. No injuries sustained by either combatant however there was one who went away with a bruised ego. Where was PurrFace through all of this? He was laying on the ottoman at the ready should he be required to mediate a less aggressive solution to the situation.

Oldest DGS coming this morning. He's excited because he has all the profiling done on the bed post and only two more sanding stages, then the part he's been waiting for--staining. Asked him to research both the normal stain and the gel stain and select one. I'm hoping he selects the gel stain but I believe he'll feel safer going with the traditional stain. We'll see shortly.

Thank you all for your visits yesterday. Have a great day all and don't let anyone steal your joy.

Great morning John,
What a beautiful start to the day for PurrFace. I hope there's a beautiful surf in store for you today!

Girls, girls, girls. at least all that was injured was pride. They're young, they'll bounce back.

Have a great time with DGS today. He's going to remember this special time all his life. Might we see pictures?
hugs and scritches to you all.

Re: 4/9 PurrFace AMPS 156 +2.25/32

WOW! What a surprise that +2.25/32 is. Tested twice. Never expected that free fall. Was going to wait until+3 to test but he started meowing at his food dish which he very rarely does so I figured something was going on. Got to go test him.
 
Re: 4/9 PurrFace AMPS 156 +2.25/32 +2.5/29

Hi John,
Looks like you are having a busy day! Stay on top of it. No surfs in the 20s and 30s please, PurrFace. Looks like the dosecrease was too much. In any event, he gets an automatic reduction (.25 U) back to 1.75F. Good luck today.

Re: 4/9 PurrFace AMPS 156 +2.25/32 +2.5/29 +2.75/38

Never thought I would've happy to see a 38 but I certainly was this time. I was really concerned that we would have a real hard time getting him to come up like we did back on 4/4, especially seeing that 29. That's why we brought the HC out. Still going to test every 15 minutes until he gets into the 50s to be sure the increase, slight as it is, isn't from the honey and/or the HC. So glad that it's a weekday because the vet is roughly 3-1/2 miles away whereas the ERis 25 minutes away.

It does look like it was too much which really has me perplexed. I know I gave him the same dose as I did a few days ago when he was getting a 2F dose. Keep him on the 1.75F dose for 8 cycles which only produced a few scattered greens.

Gotta go test him again. Fingers crossed we're in the40s.
 
Re: 4/9 PurrFace AMPS 156 +2.25/32 +2.5/29 +2.75/38 +3/52

He's in the 50s now the trick will be to keep him surfing there. We did start a new box of test strips at +2.25. I would have thought they were bad except he was really hovering over his dish meowing so I'm sure that was just a coincidence. Will test one more time at +3.25 since we dropped his food at 3 to 3%. If he is still in the 50s we'll move testing to every 30 minutes.

Thank you Marje, Sienne, Mary, Ella, Ann, Courtney, Melissa, Helen, Carl, Bob, Karen, Dyana, Jane, Dale and EVERYONE else that guided us through previous low number episodes. It's making this journey a lot less stressful.

Hopefully 3% LC will hold him up as the ffect of the honey & HC ear off. If not we'll try 5%.

Dropped 4 points. Will test at +5.

What a day for PF! You cracked me up on the play by play of the antics at your house. What a crazy morning. Those girls can be a little combative. Good thing PF just stayed out of it. :lol: Fun fun fun on the project with DGS. Have a great day John!!
 
Re: 4/9 PurrFace AMPS +2.75/38 +3/52 +3.25/66 +3.75/62 +4.25

Hi John! :lol: Love your blow-by-blow narrative of the Heidi-Katie debacle. Who needs a tv when you have cats? PF didn't want anything to upset his zen, and what a zenful day for him! :mrgreen: Beautiful numbers, but 29?! :shock: Well, PurrFace, that's one way to earn a reducie, but the 40s will work, too.

Hope you have a great day, and best of luck with the staining project.
 
Re: 4/9 PurrFace AMPS +2.75/38 +3/52 +3.25/66 +3.75/62 +4.25

Oh John,
29? :shock: Really PurrFace? You couldn't just say "Dad, i think i need a reduction."? John, i remember when i first got here, i was watching some of your condos when you learned how to handle really low numbers. (I still have some of those in Ollie's hypo kit for reference.) You did a great job then and you did great today!!!! drinking24
Did you get much sanding or staining done? congrats on the reducie.
You go PurrFace. :RAHCAT do it, do it, just do it.​
 
Re: 4/9 PurrFace AMPS +3.75/62 +4.25/62 +5/64 +6/107 +8/345

Looks like the HC from this afternoon has caught up with us. It was quite a ride and a bit scary at the +2.5/29 after HC food.

Hope tonight is a little less dramatic.
 
Re: 4/9 PurrFace PMPS 442

I guess if your is Ransom E. Oldes a 442 is good but I'm sure not fond of it. We probably overreacted with the HC when he hit the 29. He's never been that low before and I hope never again.

Mary great photo of BlancheR & Mildred's fight over Mildred's crumb cake. When we finish the bunked project I'll post a picture. Of course the quality of the picture will be tantamount to the quality of our work. Thank you for the memories of previous lows. I'm anxious to file this one in the archives with them. :lol:

Devon. The girls jockey for top spot about once or twice a year but it only last 30 seconds and then all are BFF again. On the vary rare occasion it goes beyond the 30 second mark PF literally jumps in between them and breaks it up. Neither of them have ever made even a bad gesture toward PurrFace. Everyone loves PF.

Ella. It does appear that the dosecrease was too much. Don't ever want to have this again.

Melissa. Yes, the girls do "butt heads" (is that an oxymoron ?) but very rarely. Had fun with DGS this afternoon. Finally get to test fit everything and start the staining process.

Courtney. How true. I think anyone that lives in a mult-cat home will agree that at times it is better than TV. PF did have a zenful day but I hope he doesn't plan on doing it again.

Hope everyone has a great night.
 
Re: 4/9 PurrFace PMPS 442

Sorry, John. I just got your PM.

You could have shot through the bounce. You did a great job this morning of handling the surprise PF threw you.
 
Re: 4/9 PurrFace PMPS 442

Congrats on the dose reducie. For sure you have enjoyed the morning with Purface as the star focus instead of the bed :lol: :lol: Wonder what's your DGS's reaction to that fright!
I guess Purrface canbe a bit slow to react on HC ? Nice catch on the drop!
