Goooood morning, LL! Happy Caturday!
All is good in Ripley's Universe today :-D .

She slept all night on her rocker (she usually spends a few nights on her rocker, then a few nights next to me, then back to her rocker, and so on...). When my alarm went off this morning, she was sitting on my chest; I was in such a deep sleep, I didn't even know she was there. I also apparently slept though her midnight nadir alarm. Hmmmm. There may be BTB time in my near future....

She had a big day yesterday: my family, including my 2 nieces came over to play at our house, and Ripley came out from the bedroom on her own and got rather social! I was so proud of her. (The extent of her social-ness usually involves her on her rocker and sleeping through the 'chaos' of the girls throwing Marley's toys for him (our drooler) and 120-lb Marley bounding through our tiny home fetching the toys, clumsily, I might add.)
Yesterday, Ripples came out and even sat next to one of the girls while she was playing video games; if looked as though Ripley was watching, or perhaps overseeing, the video game play.
So cute.
Something funny: While my family was here, my mom and I were talking about how Ripley had gained much higher status since her diagnosis and treatment: she has become the center of the household, my life, even at her vet's office... When I checked the mail yesterday, I saw that there was a letter from the pharmacy that supplies her Lantus. The letter was addressed to "Ripley [our last name]." :o :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yep. Ripley is getting her own mail now. :lol: :roll: :lol: :roll: :lol: :lol:

(DH mumbled something like "Maybe Ripley can start paying her own bills now..." :lol: )

Sending vines and hugs to all who need them today. :YMHUG:

Morning Josie ~O) ~O) ~O)

Oh how funny n Ripley getting her own mail. :lol: :lol: :lol: My vet would do that too. Mannie and the others would get ail from them, reminding them that they needed to schedule their next appt. :lol: :lol: It always made me laugh too.

How nice that Ripley was a social kitty while fmaily was there. Good for her!

Have a great day today. Enjoy!! And Ripley - surf well.Keep those awesome numbers coming. :mrgreen:
 
Re: 7/27 Ripley AMPS 93

Morning Josie, nice report on Ripley. She's feeling good and social with the little girls, how sweet. So cute with Ripley getting her own mail. :-D I hope you get a btd in as sounds like you need it. I had a long one, almost 40 minutes, and I try and do just 20 minute ones so as not to get the hanfocwe, Have a great day,
 
Re: 7/27 Ripley AMPS 93

I just love Ripley, she has made the Big Time :lol: It sounds like she is feeling much better coming out to socialize and even trying to learn how to play the video game :lol: :lol: Can't blame an old girl for wanting to learn new things ;-) And that is to funny what yor DH said (under his breath) :lol: :lol: I'm glad you got to spend some family time yesterday.
Have a great day Josie!

Hi, Michelle :-D Haha on the appt. reminders addressed to the kitties! Wouldn't that be great if our kitties could schedule their own appts? :lol:

Hi, Ann :-D I had a nice 2-hour BTB time. I was rudely awoken by Dh grinding coffee. Sounded like someone was grinding coffee in my brain. (Funny -- just remembered that I was dreaming that I took Ripley out for dinner at a nice restaurant (white tablecloths, candles...) and I was wondering why a fine establishment would be using a coffee grinder during dinner hours... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .) I hear you on the shorter BTB times ~ long ones throw me off!

Hi, Pam :-D Miss Rippers HAS made the Big Time!! I should have let her open her own mail ~ she would've loved to have shredded that! :lol: Thanks for the visit today :-D


:?: ETA: QUESTION:
Has anyone used a probiotic while their kitty was taking antibiotics? I know it's a good idea, but I don't know if I should with Ripley (CKD kitty): she's constipation-prone, and we have a good ratio figured out for her Miralax/phosphorous binder. She's still having regular/normal poops while on this antibiotic (she's had 2 doses of Zeniquin). I know I can't use FortiFlora, as it causes constipation (and she doesn't care for it). Are there any 'safe' ones? Thank you!
 
Re: 7/27 Ripley AMPS 93, +3.5 88, AB & CKD & probiotics?

Hi Josie! Ripley's looking awesome today...as usual! LOVE that she came out to oversee the video playing and I SUPER LOVE that she gets her own mail!!! :lol: :-D Sorry i don't have any advice about antibiotics and probiotics, etc. Hope someone has some great advice for you. Happy Caturday!
 
Re: 7/27 Ripley AMPS 93, +3.5 88, AB & CKD & probiotics?

I love Ripples stories. You must have been KNOCKED out! :lol: :lol:

you know she has "real" status in the world when she has her own Facebook account. As Nike says "Just Do It" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes...I ALWAYS use a probiotic with a/bs. I have not noticed that it ever causes any constipation. I use Renew Ultimate Critical Care. I give Gracie 1/8 tsp/day divided into two portions and mixed in food. She loves it. It does not raise her BG. I'd do a google search and see where you can find it cheapest.

I hope she be ok!!!

Hi, Deborah :-D thanks for stopping by!

Hi, Marje :-D Thanks so much for the probiotic info! I will look for that product... :-D
 
Re: 7/27 Ripley AMPS 93, +3.5 88, +5 89, +6.5 98

You're welcome!!!! Anything for Ripley!! And you, too, of course. ;-)
 
Re: 7/27 Ripley AMPS 93, +3.5 88, +5 89, +6.5 98

Hi Josie,
So funny Ripley is getting her own mail now. :lol: :lol:
I'm glad she's surfing really nicely!
 
Re: 7/27 Ripley AMPS 93, +3.5 88, +5 89, +6.5 98

It sounds like you needed that sleep last night. How nice of Ripley not to wake you up, but just to lay on you and wait for you to wake up.

That's so funny she's getting her own mail now. :mrgreen: I'm glad she's feeling so good. That was nice of her to be social yesterday.
 
Re: 7/27 Ripley PMPS 100

Today so far:
AMPS: 93
+3.5: 88

Pretty flat girl today.
With her dinner I included her first dose of probiotic (the one Marje recommended above). Yay good bacteria!

Thank you for the visits, Mariko and Carla! :-D :-D
Sending many vines to Doogle tonight.
 
Re: 7/27 Ripley PMPS 100

What beautiful flatness going on over here! I love that Ripples now gets her own mail. I don't think DH has to worry until she starts getting credit card offers, though!

Have a great evening, guys!
