OK, I will go rush and update my SS right after I post this, but, of course, Taffy has decided to do his thing when I am having my busy busy times.

We had increased several days back and were doing well and then today he dropped to 50 at +8.5 and then 42 at around +9.5

Had several small snacks of raw, and then raw with a little HC gravy after we got to 42. He has come back up to 54 and we are a 1/2 hour from shot time but I need to see if it holds. I may need to skip. I think that is the plan, actually, bcuz I have to leave two hours before the shot time we have been on. If I skip tonight I can restart him in the AM at the earlier time.

I have to out and away from the house all day tomorrow, and for many of the upcoming days for the next two weeks! How am I going to keep this drama king safe???

Also, can I expect him to be pretty good/safe tomorrow if I skip tonight? Of course, he did earn a reduction, too. I can leave food in the feeder and hope that the ants don't find it. I'll be gone 8-9 hours. I hate this.
 
If you skip tonight, you'll drain the depot a little which usually (not always) will cause him to be a little higher tomorrow
I know...I think I have no choice or I'll be too stressed tomorrow. I wish I could go ahead and shoot tonight even though he is low. BUT, I cannot stay up all night for monitoring bcuz I have to sleep, and then tomorrow would be sketchy. I am still going to be worried tomorrow.

I have a lot of days coming up where I'll be out and Taffy is such a diver!
 
That's a tough one, and I don't have any answers. All I can think of is taking Taffy's dose down to a safe vacation level. I can't think of anything else.
