yesterday

punkin got shot and i went back to bed. i don't know how people do these early shots - i'm going to work him forward to 7. the 6 is killing me. whatever antics he did after he ate are missed - he's now in the sleepy position.
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220

LOL...the early shots are a bear to get used to (Trix is at 5:45). I'm jealous that you can move back to 7:00...later just wasn't doable for us.
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155

a mid blue makes me happy. that's good. maybe this is a good dose . . . ? and my back feels slightly better, so that's good too.

wondering how all the kitties that had things going on today are doing. going to go check!

i did call the vet last night - still no test results. marjorie, need to borrow your pants again!
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155

I hear ya Julie, these 6am mornings just about kill me, but I do it so I'm not up till 1 testing!

Punkin is in blue today.....hooray!

Have a great sleep in!
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155

All right Punkin, very very nice +4. I sure hope this is "The" dose for your boy. Looking very fine today Punkin, you sweet fluffy ball of love!
I hope you're having a good day Julie :-D
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155

the funny thing is he's back in "Low Number Lethargy Land." just seems like a slug today. he's made a bed of his bananas - first time i've really seen him gather them up - and is snoring away on them. darn, i have a picture of him to attach, but i keep getting that server error and it won't let me. i think i need to update and restart everything.
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80

punkin's just hanging out today - but then, before i over-analyze him too much i guess i should acknowledge that anya is just hanging out too. it's gray, cold, not rainy but a day to stay inside and hunker down a bit!

raises her hand... guilty! :mrgreen:
i do the same thing with alex. she'll be laying around and i can't help but think she must not be feeling too well, but then i have to remind myself to look at my other cats. they're all doing the same thing! lol!

waiting with you for those results...
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80

Thanks again for hanging with me last night!! I love the numbers, I hate the loss of sleep!! It's Punkin's turn next time! :-D
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +7/82

he seems to be surfing today . . . good numbers, although there was the whole sledge-hammer-to-get-there thing.

have i mentioned i'm waiting ever so patiently for the test results? anyone? mentioned that? in passing? ;-)

i've emailed to a veterinary dentist requesting a consult. she travels around, apparently, but isn't scheduled to be here until june 15th and i'm, uh, well, not patient. so i'm hoping i can go to wherever she is and get his mouth checked and get some answers.

she's accredited with the Academy of Veterinary Dentistry, so hopefully is skilled and can get to the bottom of this. there are only 3 accredited for small animals in Oregon and the other 2 are in Portland, which would be 4 hours of howling that i'd have to endure!
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +7/82

but there's powell's books in portland.

that can make up for the car ride.
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +7/82

hahaha, i can just see punkin at Powell's . . . he'd either be inside my shirt, or more likely clawed over me trying to get away from all the strangers. then i'd be on a hunt to try to get him . . .

or i could leave him in the car and spend a relaxed 10 minutes inside! that would get me into the first row of books.

i do love the place, though. it's phenomenal for people who like books.
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +7/82 +9/109

Great #s Julie. Got Gus' results: he's got acromegaly. I;m keeping my fingers crossed for Punkin to be negative.
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +7/82 +9/109

thanks bev - i'm just seeing your post. i'm sorry gus' came back positive. i kinda think punkin's will too, but will wait and see. they're still our sweet kitters no matter what a test says.
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +7/82 +9/109

Julie: I'm so happy to see Punkin has come back down and is finally getting those great numbers. You know, it's weird, but when Gracie first started getting lower numbers again, she seemed a little off. Sienne did say that readjusting to good numbers after high numbers can take a little time. I'll fedex my green patience pants. I sure hope you get the test results back soon and they are all negative.
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +9/109 pmps319

that's so sweet of you, marjorie. we'll be ok no matter what the results are. punkin won't know the difference and the way i look at it is that he's already outlived felix, who didn't have diabetes or anything else. we'll just enjoy our time together. no one ever knows how much time they've got.

in other news, he's bounced, i guess - 319 for the pmps. i was going to slide him a bit later but he's been acting like he's starving for at least 2 hours. i took pity on him and figured it's easier for me to get up early than for him to wait to eat. he's inhaled it all (thanks for the leftovers, anya!) and is bathing.

sun just peeked through! wahoo!

I hate getting up at 5:00am to shoot. You'd think after 10 months of doing this my body would adjust. The body has not adjusted I'm now tired all the time. But I do it so I can monitor her before going to work. The benefit is that I'm free then on the weekends to start running errands after 8:00am and don't have to stay up late to monitor.
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +9/109 pmps319

You know, you're absolutely right! The test results are only a good explanation as to why the need for a large dose. The results change nothing for me. You have such an awesome outlook. I'll have another helping, please. ;-)
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +9/109 pmps319

Sorry about the bounce, hope it clears quickly. You're doing great with him.
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +9/109 pmps319

nice to see you nina! thanks for the encouragement!

bev, after losing both my parents in the last few years, i'm just determined i won't spend my time with him grieving for something that hasn't yet happened. we'll see if i can maintain that when the test results come in. ;-)

there's this super quote that i really like - let me see if i can find it . . . here:

"If you see 10 troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that 9 will run into the ditch before they reach you."~~~ Coolidge, Calvin
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +9/109 pmps319

good evening, guys!! i'm with you on the early mornings! at least now it gets light earlier, so that helps. I was trying to shoot at 5:30 this winter and it just wasn't working out! 6am works well for us now... I can snooze for another hour if I really want or can be ambitious and get up and get an early start to my day at work. Seems to allow us just the right amount of flexibility.


oooohhhhh, powells. I haven't been to the one in Lincoln Park in Chicago for a couple years. Now you totally have me wanting a weekend getaway! Willie doesn't travel well either... we've got 5 hours of howling for my brother's wedding the week of July 4th. I have an outlet adapter that turns the charger thingy in the car into a regular outlet. Starting a few days before the trip, I'm going to plug a feliway diffuser in there and we'll see if that helps!

Have a great night!
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +9/109 pmps319

I'm hoping in moving shooting time to a later time coming this Saturday! AYAYAYAYAY!!

Punkin come down from that pink floor pleeease!
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +9/109 pmps319

Its not so much the early mornings but the no option for a later morning that get me!
Have you heard from your vet?
 
Re: 6/1 punkin amps 220 +4/155 +6/80 +9/109 pmps319

Hi guys - what a great set of numbers for punkin - nice green in the middle here. :mrgreen: I hope that your test results come in soon. paws crossed. have a great night guys.
