Yesterday's condo
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13891
MORNING LANTUS LAND!
Since this is our final condo before the party, :cry: I agreed to let Scrabble post for me today so here goes! (sorry if it is a little long) oh and also doesn't it figure that we get our highest number on the last day of the trial??? Go figure!

Hey everyone, it's Scrabble my mamabean said I could post today!
I was born on Sep 19,1996 and my Mom picked me out at the Humane Society. I saw her looking at all the kitties and I went right up to the glass to see her and she picked me right away. I was only 8 weeks old and I could fit in the palm of her hand, little did she know how big I was going to get!!! She took me home and I met my sister Jerry Lee (GA). We hit it off right away. My first week with my Mom was pretty rough, I developed an upper respitory infection and she thought I was going to die but I was a trooper and pulled through! A couple of months later I broke my leg. I was trying to run out of the house and got my leg stuck in the door. My Mom was so worried about me but luckily I was so young that I just had to wear a cast for a few weeks and it healed all up! My sister Jerry Lee ended up getting sick (with diabetes) and there wasn't all the info that there is today about it and my Mom was young and the vets didn't give her much hope so she had her put to sleep, my Mom was devastated. So after moving across the country to be with my now Daddy she decided to get me another companion and that is when Sabrina came into our lives. I was mad at first because I wanted all of Mom's attention but I quickly got used to her and now we are best buds!
When I was diagnosed with diabetes I thought my Mom was going to lose it. The vet that diagnosed me was a real jerk to her and he gave her no hope. He told her that she was being neurotic for wanting to hometest and that a diet would not change my condition! Luckily my Mom is persistent and she found all of you guys and found me a new vet. She spent so many days losing sleep trying to help me. She banged her head against the wall the first month and a half because I wasn't regulated and figured this was now going to be her life but somehow my pancreas starting working again. I kept scaring her by dropping my numbers so much especially when she was at work and no one was home with me. She was so stressed.
I am so glad I made my Mom so happy because I am her little boy and she loves me more than anything. I hope I can continue to stay off of insulin!
I am so amazed at all the friends me and my Mom have met, we will miss everyone but plan to visit often and keep in touch. I am rooting for all the kitties to get otj!!
My Mom is crying right now reading this, she is so emotional. I made her a little nervous this morning with my number, I told her it is fine and normal but she still worries about me every day!
Thanks for letting me post, we will miss having a condo every day!!!

Hi Michelle,
I'm emotional reading Scrabble's story. Scrabble, you are such a sweet little (big) boy! I call everyone "little." So tomorrow is the big party! Well, Maggie will be there for sure! We came on LL about the same time, so I remember well the ups and downs of Scrabble. I wish you could go back to that first Vet and show him Scrabble and how well he's doing and off the insulin. Looking forward to tomorrow.
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

hi guys! So close! I love scrabbles story, somehow we always know right off the bat what kitty we want, as soon as we see them, don't we? Im glad scrabble has had such a good life with you and may he continue to, with a view of the falls!
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Scrabble, your Mom has been terrific. She was scared but she has learned so much and she really stepped in and did everything she could to make you feel better. She knew that OTJ was a fabulous thing but she was careful and followed the protocol and got you to this point safely so your pancreas could heal properly and be ready to stand on its own.

Congratulations!
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Congratulations Scrabble dude! I'm so happy for you! Tell the Max's and Hank I'll only be a day behind (If Daddy didn't break my pancreas this morning, mom's about to post my condo, you'll see) you and that I expect the party to still be on when I get there! *pssst you should try to get our condos with a view... of the pool :mrgreen: *

~Tugger

Oh {{{{Michelle!}}}} What a story! You've done so well with Scrabble =) What a life he's had! Lucky little boy to have picked you out of all the beans who came to that shelter! Congratulations on coming so far with him and his FD, you've done a wonderful job :mrgreen: You are a wonderful mama, Scrabble couldn't have picked a better one!
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Happy Caturday Michelle & Scrabble!! More importantly, Happy Laffy Taffy Day 13!!! Baby is soooooo excited to see Scrabble at the Falls!!! :mrgreen:
Have a great day!!
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Well It's almost 9am & I'm crying already!! Michelle, I so remember when you first came.. I was a little strong with you in the beginning, but I did it with love. That first few weeks you were so upset, as we all are, heck I was upset for a year!!
But you were brave & strong, and you listened & did it all right.
And here you are today, writing a post the day before Scrabble is going to the Falls..Uh Oh crying again--
I feel like a Dean sending the graduates off into the world :lol: :lol: :lol:
You did an amazing job, so now is your time to pay it forward & help other newbies.
Chew Gum you two--Many HUGS--cant wait till tomorrow!!
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Hey Scrabble, That's quite a story. I liked the part about how you picked out your bean at the shelter. I picked out my beans the same way.
So, man, we both arrived at LL at the same time and now you're going to have a great new condo at the Falls! I hope you'll write to me! I've been thinking about the menu for your party tomorrow. I know you like tuna and chicken, so here it is: Tuna Canapés,
Coq au (California) vin, and Chef Stu's famous Catmint parfait for dessert. Can't wait to dance and sing at your party. See you then!

Stu

Hi Michelle, You have done such a wonderful job with Scrabble. I love reading your posts and hope you will visit us in LL often. And don't forget, Scrabble MUST come to all of the LL parties.

Ella

Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Dear Scrabble:
Enough of this sniffling over leaving here....I have picked out a beautiful condo for you at the Falls....it overlooks the pool and has a view of the falls too. Exquisite place! Of course, all the condos there have the same view...there are activities posted in the Lobby and a million things to do each day. You are going to LOVE it! We have buses leaving all the time to come back here...we are all happy to attend the parties back here in LL but believe me, we LOVE our own parties at the Falls.
If you like your new place, what better way to help your buddies here get there...to the Falls! You can come back and visit and encourage all of them to work hard and come to join us there!

My Mother thinks I an harsh in the way I say things and I don't mean to sound mean. But seriously Dude....you have come through all that and now is your time to shine!!! I get so angry when I her horror stories about some of the vets out there. But your wonderful Mama found this forum like mine did.....we are very very lucky to have been here. It is like a training school that we have to go through in order to get to the Falls. Once you are there, you are gonna LOVE it! I wish I could have gotten here faster!!

We are going to have a GREAT OTJ party for you to celebrate all your hard work...and your Bean's hard work. So, start packing up your things so you will be all ready to move...and enjoy your party! It is a monumental thing that you have done Scrabble! I am proud of you!! :mrgreen:
HAPPY DAY 13 SCRABBLE!!
love from your friend
Raja
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Good Morning Scrabble, and Michelle of course.
I am crying too, tears of joy that you will be at the falls tomorrow and sadness for sweet
Jerry Lee.
I understand the bittersweetness of today but the 2 of you (DH too of course) put everything you had into this day!!!!!!
LL is truly an amazing place to be. It still blows my mind to think of how many kitties
have been healed by this board.
Your love and devotion to Scrabble is an inspiration to all those kitties that are still here
and for the new ones that will be lucky enough to find LL.

Max has reserved the condos next to him for Scrabble and Tugger and he has made sure that
Raja has the pretty girls lined up waiting for him to arrive at the falls tomorrow.

I am so proud of you Michelle.
You did it!!!
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Thank you for that wonderful story Scrabble. This bean also has tears of joy for your momma bean. I am so happy for you both. Blackie loves these parties and he will be sure to bring his special catnip to your party.
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Laffy Taffy? :lol: Where u kitties come up with these names? :lol:
Beautiful post today Michelle - a nice way to finish off trial.

Happy Day 13! Looking forward to the party tomorrow!
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Aww, now I'm crying too. Scrabble is such a handsome boy and he sure is lucky that you walked into his life and he saw you through the glass. This is a very special OTJ for me too, I've been gone for a while visiting family and was not able to check the board very much. And then I've been working on something ever since I got home. (hee, hee! You know...!)

What a great story and sweet kitties. All the kitties here are like family and it is so good to learn more about them besides their diabetes history. Thank you for this. AND many hugs to you for a job well done!
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Dude!!! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time now!! I am so happy that you will be packing your bags and going to the falls tomorrow! My condo is on the same floor as yours, btw, and it has an exceptional view of the pool AND the ocean. My mama bean said that she is going to let me buy you a nice comfy chair for your balcony, just like mine! You are going to love it there, my man!!! And wow...Dude...you broke your leg trying to escape!! Just weren't fast enough were you!! But, aren't you glad you didn't make it far...seeing that you have such a wonderful mamabean who loves you so much!!
Oh, and before I forget....don't know if your bean will do this, but just want to give you the heads up in case she does....there's thing thing my bean calls the "OTJ Song", but it's a song and dance in one. It goes like this: As soon as you get that first test in the morning bean picks you up in her arms and starts dancing and singing this "your off the juuuuuuice, your off the juuuuice, woohoo, woohoo, your off the juuuuice" It's a very scary thing if you aren't ready for it, but after the first chorus, you get kinda use to it, so just relax and enjoy the dance! Looking forward to the party tomorrow, trying to think of a fun game to play when we aren't dancing with Moonie and eating Stu's wonderful gourmet meals!!! C-ya then!!!
Love, Spot

Michelle....Yep, tears in the eyes...seems to be a teary day in LL today (these are happy tears -saw Kate and Lucky's post before visiting yours) and I am so so soooooo happy to see that you have made it to this point. You have worked so hard, shed so many tears, and gave Scrabble the unconditional love that made this possible. Don't worry about that number...it's purrfectly normal! I bet you are so happy and excited that you will be entering into another phase of this dreaded Feline Diabetes called remission! So for now, just relax and as Spot said to Scrabble "Enjoy the dance" tomorrow!!!
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Scrabble, that is the best darn thing I have read in along time - you are one cool dude! I am so excited about your upcoming party, I am waiting on pins and needles. My party hat is ready and my suit is pressed and ready to go. I hope it can wear it - it is my favorite color: green. You be good to your mama - she loves you very much, and worries as much too. My mama bean is the same way. It's nice though, isn't it. I loved reading about your life to date - an HS kitty huh? I'm a PAWS cat, rescued by them when someone dumped me on the side of the road. That was awful, I had to learn to survive by myself. So I, like you, am grateful for my bean who saved me. Life is pretty darn good in human-ville, don't you think? Well, don't be a stranger, and some and visit my condo as often as you can. I hope to someday come and visit and play with you at the falls.

Be good. We will party hearty at your otj party - soon, ok?

Mannie

Hey Michelle - congrats! you are almost there. very very cool!
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

What a wonderful post and wonderful story. Friends who have never had a cat will often ask, how do you pick out a cat from among all of the kittens. I'm not sure that they understand that the cat picks you. And if you're very lucky, they will also tell you their name. Cats always seem to know.

I'm not going to say congratulations until tomorrow -- but it is a very Laffy Taffy day.
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Ronnie - you never had laffy taffy as a kid? Oh dear - maybe it never made it to Canada. It was this flat taffy stuff that was oh so yummy. I think they still make it..... Hillary


Oh Scrabble --- do I have an opportunity for you! After your party tomorrow, stop on by my place and check out this wonderful uniform -- errr outfit I have just for you! Then while you're here, you can clean the pool, pick up the towels and clean up the dirty dishes. You can even call yourself Scrabble the Magnificent Valet! How does that sound? Would you like to try out the uniform -- errrr outfit? - Signed Maui
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Hi everyone, tears in my eyes again reading all your wonderful posts!!! Scrabble really has a way with words huh? I am going to be an emotional wreck tomorrow!!! We are hoping for a condo with a view of the pool!
I will defintely be visiting everyone and showing our support and love, you guys have become my second family!!!!
Thanks to everyone who has helped us along the way, we couldn't have done it without all of you!!!!
Have a great day all I am off to visit some condo's!!
BTW, I loved Laffy Taffy growing up, that is why I picked it, I know it is not gum but there is a lot of chewing involved, I think my favorite flavor was banana!
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Look what I had on my desk! Yummy stuff, very sweet and chewy and I'm sure has no redeeming qualities, but that makes it even better! Healthly food, not a chance. I like cherry flavor the best and that is why this strawberry one is still sitting around, it will be eaten later, don't worry.

I stuck it in the scanner to show Ronnie.

Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Hi Michelle, what a sweetie-pie, now wonder you love him so much. I guess the long, hard struggle really does make your outcome that much more special. Good for you & your baby.

PS What a special Mother's Day Gift, the best, no??
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Oh MICHELLE)))))

So HAPPY for you and your boy! You've done such an exceptional job and he is so lucky to have you as you are to have him.

How many exciting times we've watched ya'll go through. You could never have any doubt about Scrabble,..he always overcame whatever was thrown at him, whether it be boo-boos, infections, dentals, bad meds, crazy numbers... And stayed forever regal looking and handsome through it all,even in his t-shirts. :) And you were forever stumping for him and his dosecreases, averaging and rounding. Ya'll were both so very determined.


So exciting to be at this final stretch and heading for your new condo and next chapter.
Hank can't wait to see his buddy again. Hurry up!
Oh, we are going to party! flip_cat

Happy Day 13!!!!!!!


betty & Hank
 
Re: 5/8 SCRABBLE LAFFY TAFFY DAY 13 AMBG 90 + SPECIAL POST

Scrabble-
You are a very good writer, and I can tell how much you love your mama. She loves you very much, too, as you know. You guys have both worked hard for tomorrow's event, so I hope you can both enjoy it. There will be so many people there to party with you, and lots of niptinis and whatever Stu is going to cook up. Your new condo sounds beautiful, and I hope you come back and visit us here in LL. You can always have a condo for the day, or even for a long weekend. :-D Buzz is looking forward to your party tomorrow, that's for sure!

PMBG 77
Well I am so happy to report his pmbg, he stayed green throughout his whole trial, woo hoo!!!!! I have to say the trial was nervewracking but Scrabble made it pretty easy with giving me fabulous numbers every time, he got tons of kisses and hugs for finishing his trial with major successes!!!
Now we are ready to party, can't wait for tomorrow!!!!!!!
Off to tbp, hope kitties and beans have a great night and lots of good numbers!!!!!
 
What a great story. I can remember your first low number and how scared you were to shoot but you put on your BOS and did what needed to be done and look at the result.
Putty is very excited about the party tomorrow.
 
What a sweet post you wrote Scrabble. We will miss you having a condo everyday, too. I bet we'll continue to see your mom on the board though. J.D. can't wait until your party! He's got his bow tie all clean and pretty. Happy Day Thirteen :mrgreen: What a bunch of memories you've made, huh?
 
Wow- I loved reading Scrabble's story! He has incredible numbers- the best I've ever seen! He's ready for a nice long vacation...and so are you. Great job! Congrats!
 
*sniff sniff* Scrabble, you made me cry reading your condo today. You are a very lucky boy and your momma had done a really fantastic job caring for you. I can see that you both love each other alot. You are a very handsome young boy too I must say. Webber and I are ready for your party tomorrow. Wish you many many healthy years to come with your sister, mommy and daddy. :YMHUG: cat_pet_icon

Michelle - that was beautiful :-D
 
Michelle,

I'm so happy for you and Scrabble! You took his DX by the horns and look where you are now. I will miss Scrabble's daily condo too. But this does'nt mean goodbye. Stick around we need you, and keep us updated to how you guys are doing. In the begining I was drawn to Scrabbles name. I am so glad he is doing great.

Sara says she feels a party coming on. See you there.
