Last Condo
We're baaaack! Actually, we got home yesterday evening, but there was just too much to get done to sit down and type a condo, and it would have been another really late one, so I opted to wait till today.
Everyone survived the weekend of boarding. As usual, things did not go exactly as I would have wished, and I spent a lot of time last night debating with myself about how to handle it. In the end, I've decided that I am never going to find someone that will treat Cinco's FD the way that I do, and as long as I have him with someone that is experienced with diabetic animals and veterinary care, and who loves animals and really likes my babies, I have to accept the little annoyances and look at the big picture. Dawn was actually gone on vacation this weekend. Her daughter, Morgan, who adores cats, was "in charge", and the senior vet tech from the UCD radiation oncology department was the one who administered the insulin, fluids, meds, etc. I knew about this in advance, but I had thought he would be there to test during the day. Apparently not. He also, like everyone else, doesn't buy into the 12 hour Lantus cycle, so overall it was the right call to have him shoot 1.0 units. I do plan to stress to Dawn that I need her to give the AM shot on pick up day a little closer to our "normal" time, so we can get back on schedule easier. As it is, Paul shot at 8:43 am (normal time is 6:30). I made the decision to give the PM shot at 7:45, and to shoot 1.0 units because it was an early shot. Cinco's numbers looked good last night, all things considered. We shot our "regular" current dose of 1.25 this morning, at 7:30, and will continue to adjust shot times by 15 minutes and should have him back on schedule on Wednesday night. Hopefully he'll also be back to those lovely numbers he had before we left. I just know he's itching to get down to the lagoon to hang out with his buddies!
All kitties did well while incarcerated - Minka had one day when she would only eat baby food and deli turkey, but she did eat, so I'm okay with that. She's having one of those days today, but I gave her Cypro a couple of hours ago and DH just informed me she is cleaning off all three of the plates of cat food I had left in the office for her!
Sasha's breathing sounded fine to Paul, and still does to me, so the new med appears to be working. Her appy is not quite happy, but she did finally finish her breakfast and even ate a small snack in the early afternoon.
Harvey was apparently "Very cooperative" about being sacked and pilled. I guess my working with him has paid off! Of course, they had the advantage over me - they didn't have to catch him first, like I do!
We had fun in Reno, even though Mark's bowling team placed last in the sweepers and the slot machines were very unkind to me! It was fun to just get away, and now I'm up to my eyebrows in laundry, and all the other things that need sorting out after a few days away.
I'll try to visit some condos and get caught up on everyone tonight.
Sending healing vines to all in need and hugs to all their beans.
Special prayers for Amy's DF, Lyresa's DF, DH and DGD, Marje's DM, Chris' DM and Elise's DM.

They were still looked after much better than most people do at home.
