Good Morning LL! Thank you Elsa! She wasn't too low at +5 last night so i got some sleep, now seeing that 80 at +10 I wonder how low she went. But, Whooooo Hoooooooooooooooo! A morning without R. (anti-jinx!)

WCR All 5 Ps, Clean Plate Club, Vines to all the kittehs in need of them and hugs to all their beans.

 

[Ann & Tess GA]

Good grief! I wasn't expecting a 35 since she hadn't gotten any R today. 9% w/ a drop of honey!

 

[Melissa & Tarragon]

Woohoo on no R! Good thing too. No drama Tess! She is just all over the place. Have a great day Ann!

 

[Anne & Zener GA]

Drama-rama! And without R, Tess, what are you doing to yer beans?
Liz

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Well, at least she's doing this in the daytime (at least we think she's not doing it at night....)!

Tess, you really shouldn't do this to your beans' blood pressure. Haven't I already explained that you need them to open the cat food cans and clean the litter box???

 

[Shiloh & Rhonda (GA)]

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, and apologize for my ignorance. What is "R?" I've tried researching and haven't found it.

 

[Ann & Tess GA]

@Shiloh & Rhonda Hi Rhonda, no problem. R insulin, is a fast acting , in-and-out insulin. Tess had a DKA episode in early March and has needed this extra boost to control her extreme bounces. It seems like the Levemir has a much shorter duration now than it did. She used to nadir at +10 to +12 , now it's about +6. I don't know if it is because of the DKA, the fact that we started a new box of pens at the same time or giving her squids or the R or maybe just because she's a cat and she can!

R-insulin is a very strong drug and only recommended in extreme cases. Because of that DKA we don't dare let her stay in high numbers to wait out the bounce.

 

[Shiloh & Rhonda (GA)]

Thanks for the education, Ann. And does Tess have HUGE paws or is it just the picture? My Shiloh has pretty good sized feet, and I have just figured out her front feet may be double jointed.

ETA: I think it's because she is a cat and she can!

 

[Ann & Tess GA]

It's the picture. She was sprawled across John's tummy and we got a little forced perspective going there. Tess is actually tiny, we just got her weight back up to 5.6 pounds from a low of 5.

 

[Shiloh & Rhonda (GA)]

Oh wow! Shiloh is between 12.5 and 13. At her highest she was 18. This was her about six years ago with our then puppy, Punky.

 

[Ann & Tess GA]

What beautiful colorings! I love torties.

 

[Shiloh & Rhonda (GA)]

I adopted her 11 years ago, after I had to have my Jersey PTS because of liver failure. I don't have children, but always told myself if I did, I would name it Shiloh, boy or girl, after one of my favorite songs. And I love torties too. And that was her name when I found her. I had to have her!

This is Jersey. I adopted her when she was 9, and had been at the shelter for over a year!

 

[rhiannon and shadow (GA)]

That's a lot of drama without the R.

and then alas, the bounce....

 

[Ann & Tess GA]

Well, Rhiannon, we are talking about Tess!

 

[Tiger(GA) and Ruth]

Glad you got a some sleep last night, cuz you just never know what Tess will do tonight! Hooray for her good appetite and lots of time spent in green though- she truly hasn't had a lot of those colors that we don't want to mention!! (anti-jinx anti jinx anti jinx)

 

[Michelle and Mannie (GA)]

Morning Ann and John

What a day yesterday for you Tess, a classic Tess day. Such drama! I am glad someone is putting Mannie's play book to good use. Love the greens!

Well, up alot last night? Barista Elsa says to tell you she is on her way!

Have a good one today.
