Hello everybody! It's me... Mannie. My bean said I get to write my condo today, cuz, well.... IT IS MY 4 YEAR ON-THE-JUICE ANNIFURSARY!

oh - this is from my bean :roll: :roll: ------> ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) she says it's a white mocha or sumtin'... i dunno.... :roll: :roll:

Can you believe it??? 4 years for me. I am sooooooo excited, cuz well... I am now healthy and happy and content and so much better than I was before they told me I had FD. I didn't even know what that was.... I did know though that I was scared, and hungry all the time, and so skinny.... the vetties at first didn't know what was wrong with me. They thought maybe I had a bad heart... :shock: nah! that wasn't it - I could have told them that! nuthin' wrong with my ticker..... then they thought I had IBD. :shock: nah.... that wasn't it. I knew my tummy and stuff were just fine, but that the fuds weren't working for me.... I'd eat and eat and nothing made me feel full, ya know? Then they thought I needed x-rays and ultrasounds and stuff.... :shock: nah that wasn't it. Them x-rays and stuff looked good. shesshhhhh!!! One day they said we gots to do my blood work, again. :roll: :roll: By now I was really irritated with all them pokies... but hey! guess what!! There it was!: a BG of 683!! :o :o scary! And so began my journey. My bean tried so hard... but we didn't know about fdmb, and went through 3 hypos :cry: , and rocky rollercoaster rides :sad: , until a year and a half later someone took my bean under her wing and showed her all these great folks in LL! :-D :cool: :cool: You guys saved me! I LUBS YOU ALL! so... today we celebrate! A party at my house - A BIG PARTY! I am SO HAPPY. Thank you all for being there for me and my bean.

my bean said I had to include all this stuff too. ok..... i will....

I guess she did too,cuz I got lots of hugs and stuff and pets and scritches too! I mean what's all the fuss over greens and stuff.... it's just a color, right? Well whatever it is I'll take it - it brings really good fuds! she says we need to forget about last night. HUH? What was wrong with last night? she said it's OK alot this morning too....

He really likes me, and helped me care for the nanners. so yeah, that was my day. Darn cool huh. oh yeah... somewhere in all that I gots a couple of shots. OW again.

Thanks everybody for being there for me. Thanks to my bean for letting me write my condo. That was cool. so - PARTY today!! let's celebrate my good fortune - on the juice, and lovin' it!

Mannie


With all frivolity and humor and attempted wit aside -- today is a very special day for Mannie and I. We began this journey 4 years ago, floundered for a year and a half before we found fdmb. We were so scared, uneducated back then, fearful every day..... I cannot thank Chris from Chris and Chloe enough for bringing me here. I am eternally grateful for each and every one of you. You all have made my guy happy, healthy, whole again. I thank all of you who held my hand, supported me, told me when I screwed up, laughed when I needed it, questioned me when I strayed, help guide the ship, and believed. Thanks to all of you who took the time to read Mannie's daily sagas. I know for a fact that without you - all of you - that Mannie would not be here today. For that alone I cannot thank you enough.



Have a great day everyone! I am back on DGS duty through Friday, no condo visiting for me.... Swimming today, and I hope for good weather so that we can go to a local park, or the river, after that. Paws crossed. I will miss you guys, and will try and get to condos when I can. and all you furkids: think blue, think green kitties!

And completely OT: Photos from Nicholas's and my adventures yesterday: Meadowdale County Park, and Picnic Point Beach. Even though Mannie gave us a run for you money in the morning,we still were able to get outside and enjoy what laid before us. A super super day.... I've also included the FaceBook link for anyone who want to see the whole lot of photos, and the videos. Nicholas at Meadowdale County Park, and Nicholas at Picnic Point

Re: 5/11 Mannie AMPS 402 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary!

HAPPY 4- YEAR ANNIFURSARY MANNIE!!​

Hey Mannie, I can't wait to come to your party. We'll sing and dance and eat all those good fuds (you'll help cook, right?). And Tess and I are going to bake for you a huge CIMMAMUM ANNIFURSARY CAKE. Chef Mannie, you are the bestest! You are always ready to help a kitty out, to visit a sick kitty, to cook those fantastic menus for our parties, and to dream up fun things for us to do. Rock on, man! (and just 'cause it's your 4th annifursary doesn't mean that you have to start the day in the 400s--it's a "red-letter day", but now we want to see blue or green). Blue Mannie Group will play at the party tonight!!
Your pal,
Rusty

Happy 4 year Annifursary, Mannie!!

Morning Michelle, what a nice condo this morning celebrating Mannie's 4yr Annifursary! He sure is looking so good and handsome as we can see from the video yesterday. I never knew Mannie's history and beginning days. He sure has been thru a lot and look at me now, says Mannie! Wow on the 683 bg in the beginning, and so happy Chris and Chloe found you.
What an exciting morning yesterday for you. That +2 sure was a warning that action was ahead! :lol: Sweet pics of Nicholas and thanks for the FB links.

Mannie, big party at your house, yay celebrating. I'll bring some stuffed catnip mushroom appetizers and special lc cheesecake. I think Mags may be in with the Blue Mannie Group today, too. Mannie, you're always so sweet in picking me up. We don't want you to lift a finger. I'll catch a ride with one of my pals. See ya soon, my friend, Mags
 
Re: 5/11 Mannie AMPS 402 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary!

The happiest of days for your and Mannie. Despite the bittersweet nature of an FDMB anniversary, this is a place where bonds are forged and people understand being scared and then becoming empowered.

My best wishes for many more happy and healthy anniversaries.

Mannie, you know how to live it up. Whatever this juice is, it sounds good. You are feeling good and looking good too. You gots personalized nanner service and everything. I will be at your party tonight, and you can give me the low down on this stuff.
Pinky


Michelle,

It's hard to believe how the years slip by. I know that you and Mannie are a fixture of my daily routine, and have been for years. Of course, I look forward to checking out Nicholas' daily adventures now as well!

Congratulations to you and your happy, healthy, and handsome boy (and chef and bus driver extraordinaire).

Re: 5/11 Mannie AMPS 402, +4 316 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary!

Wow, Mannie!!! You've been here for a really long time!!! I'm glad we've become friends. You've helped me realize this FD thing is no big deal!!! I'm coming to your party and I can't wait to see what you're cookin' up!!!

Michelle, you've been such a treasure here on FDMB. I seriously don't know what I would have done without your humor in those dark days when Champ was first diagnosed. Reading Mannie's condo every day, seeing how you were able to continue to have a life while taking such good care of Mannie, helped me to realize that this wasn't the worst thing that could happen. And Mannie is proof positive that kitties can continue to be healthy and happy for years with diabetes. Thank you for dedicating so much of your time to FDMB. We all appreciate you so much!!!
 
Re: 5/11 Mannie AMPS 402, +4 316 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary!

Happy Annifursary Michelle and Mannie. We are sooooo glad you are here! On those days when we are not sure we can do this, or we are so worried about our big guy's health, we look to you and Mannie - at the dance for 4 years and thriving. You are both our inspiration on a daily basis. You also provide some of the best bean medicine around - laughter. :lol: Reading Mannie's daily adventures never fails to give us that daily dose! And we especially love watching grandson and Mannie vids!

Hey Manster, you is such a role model for me and my beans. I's hope you have a good annifursary day and gets some backyard time. I trys to do all the right things and you shows me the way. I'd never have gotten to one of those full moon parties without ya. -your pal Zener
 
Re: 5/11 Mannie AMPS 402, +10 282 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary

HAPPY 4 YEAR ANNIFURSARY, MANNIE!!!!

Michelle, you are such an important part of FDMB and you have always been so supportive to everyone here. Plus, we love all your posts and Mannie/Nicholas videos!! Mannie is doing great, not just because you found FDMB, but because you are one super duper bean!!!
 
Re: 5/11 Mannie AMPS 402, +10 282 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary

Re: 5/11 Mannie AMPS 402, +10 282 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary

Mannie, Happy Annifursary.

Michelle, this isn't the place you really want to be celebrating an anniversary, but I sure am glad you're here.
Thank you for all the hand holding and support, when we need it. I've told you many times, how I admire your humor and strength, in the face of numbers that make me sit in a corner and cry. Well actually I've stood in the middle of my kitchen and wailed a few times.
Thank you for sharing Mannie's story with us. I never heard it before.
 
Re: 5/11 Mannie AMPS 402, +10 282 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary

Happy Annifursary Mannie!

I'm so happy that you're so much healthier and enjoying life to the fullest:) You're so lucky to have such an awesome mama bean who's so dedicated to your well being:) Wishing you another joyous year filled with many beautiful adventures!

Tamata & Ella
 
Re: 5/11 Mannie AMPS 402, +10 282 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary

Happy Annifursary Mannie! What a journey you've had Michelle. Thank you for the joy you bring each day to LL. :YMHUG: As much as I dislike the FD dance, at 4 years in, you give me great hope that Jetta can be happy and healthy for a long time to come. Hopefully Mannie can party his little butt on down to some pretty numbers this evening.
 
Re: 5/11 ManniePMPS 304 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary!

Happy Annifursary!!! That is a huge milestone for you both. Congratulations!! Mannie is so healthy and happy and that is all that matters! Hope you both have a great night!
 
Re: 5/11 ManniePMPS 304 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary!

304 @ PMPS. Well.... it sure beats the amps this morning! :-D :cool: :cool: It seems that Mannie, today's condo keeper, is fully involved with his party, so looks like the bean is back on condo duty. :shock: :lol: :lol: Those kitties sure know how to party - BBQ bad grill is going, singing and dancing, niptinis are flowing, fire pit fire is going - downright awesome! Mannie says not to worry - they are getting ready to gather around the fire for stories and snacks, and one of Tess's famous desserts, and more niptinis... he promises that the noise level will be down, so that the neighbor don't call the cops. :lol: :lol: Well done kitties.

DGS and I had a great day today - off to swim in the morning, and a trip to a local creek in the afternoon. We ended up stopping in to see his mom at work on the way home. Extremely busy day, but the kid has such a good time. What a joy he is. I will post photos in Mannie's condo tomorrow.

I would like to say THANK YOU to all that visited Mannie today, on his annifursary. I have read them all, and forgive me for not answering each one individually. You guys are the best - and I know you'll understand. After three whirlwind days with DGS I am beat. :shock: :lol: I cannot thank all of you for your kind words, your support, your being there for Mannie and I. What a great 4th anniversary it is. Keep on believing LL'ers! As difficult as this FD sugar dance is, it is manageable, you can still have a life, and your furkid will be with you for a long time to come. HUGS TO ALL!

Mannie just came rushing in here - mumbling something about needing a blow-torch, as the fire-pit was being difficult... :shock:
 
Re: 5/11 ManniePMPS 304, +2 219 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary!

219 @ +2. and down we go. Dive said the cat! Mannie: slowly, please!

OK.... this is Mannie cheeking in... she said she wanted yellow - there's the yellow, so what's the big deal... ya know? I delivers! ~~ Mannie
 
Re: 5/11 ManniePMPS 304, +2 219 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary!

Happy Annifursary, Mannie and Michelle!

Gosh, a year ago, I never would've thought of FD as something to celebrate, but now I know it is...because of this group, because of what it has taught all of us, and of course you guys are a huge part of it! And, my kitties, Trixie and the Civvies, thank Mannie for telling them about nanners :lol: :lol: !

Celebrate all night long. I know Trix will be there...but I don't wanna know what goes on. These kitties all deserve a night to themselves!!
 
Re: 5/11 ManniePMPS 304, +2 219 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary!

HAPPY ANNIFURSARY Mannie and Michelle!!

I can't imagine going a year and a half without the support of LL! Michelle you know your cat so well and he seems to be doing great as evidenced by your pics and videos. I went out and got a nanner variation (a carrot) yesterday for Neko, based on Mannie's recommendation. She thinks they are great too.
 
Re: 5/11 ManniePMPS 304, +3 181 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary!

181 @ +3. Phew - coming down nicely: remember: slow Mannie, slow!

Hi Amy and Wendy! WOO HOO - more nanner converts! Mannie is so proud!
It is a bittersweet celebration I know... and I also know that without this place, he wouldn't be with me today.
what a great place LL is!
 
Re: 5/11 ManniePMPS 304, +3 181 -- It's my 4yr Annifursary!

All I know is, MannieLand is an integral part of LantusLand, no matter which color he chooses to be.
Mannie is just wicked cool.

Oh, Mama M and the Ever-Cool Manxman....

What can we say to tell you how inspirational you two have been for not only us...
but so very many folks here???

You have continually encouraged, commiserated with, entertained, and caused the biggest belly laughs for us...

WE LOVE YOU!!!!

and can't think of a song that better expresses our thanks than this one.
The lyrics just are so fitting for all that you represent for your Lantus Family. :-D :-D :-D

You are treasures...and have helped so many through this sometimes difficult dance.
You can bring sunlight into even the most frustrating and unhappy days!

so with much love to our dear friends...

I'm sorry I missed Mannie's Annifursary yesterday but this is a great condo and a great testament to your diligence to Mannie's care....congratulations that he is healthy, happy, and the Manster we all know and love.
 
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you Celi and Marje for your posts.

Celi - the song is wonderful, and I am honored. Thank you for all you wrote - I am truly flattered.

Marje - No problem, really. And thanks. Diligence is a good word choice - I think it applies to all of us here. We all work so hard on behalf of our kitties. What a great place LL is.
