Forgot to set the timed feeder Condo (08/22)

Good Mornin' LL and Happy Caturday......

So his +6 last night was still a decent number, but I am wondering if I need to start questioning them it and retesting as it is now considered "high" for his new typical....I wonder because this morning he is starting out at 114 and with the 160 last night, I was anticipating a high 100, low 200 number for AMPS.....In the past I would retest some 400s and 500s as I just felt they were completely unacceptable :-D (and I wanted to make sure that is was accurate).

Nothing much to report...Skooter stayed with me pretty much all night....that is what I love about our animals....they can sense when we are not feeling 100% for whatever reason and they try to make us feel better.....so much to do today.....I will be doing lots with all my oils and balsamics.....No butter chocolate chip cookies and no butter peanut butter chip cookies, pasta salad, start marinating chicken and possibly some steak.....and whatever else I can figure out to experiment with....oh there was a new recipe for Raspberry Shortbread and Espresso dessert....

If Skooter gives me a permission slip, I may try to run to the Farmer's Market to get fresh raspberries.....
 
Re: 8/23 Skooter AMPS 114

Morning Molly!

Hope you're feeling a little better today. :YMHUG: Skooter's AMPS looks great today!

If I had to guess, I'd think maybe that 160 was just a little mini-bounce that Skooter has already cleared. I've had a few cycles with Eddie where he started to head up rather fast after a run in green numbers, so I stopped testing thinking the cycle was "done," only to have a much lower number later on. When that happens with Eddie, it can sometimes signal a busy cycle to come.

How nice of Skooter to give you lovins last night. They do sometimes seem to sense when we need some comfort, don't they? I hope you will post some pictures of your culinary creations so I can drool over them.

Have a good day!
 
Re: 8/23 Skooter AMPS 114 +2 102

Thanks for the insight, Jen. I am still really bad at interpreting a lot of the tests I get and trying to find trends within it....

I sure hope Skooter decides to behave until +4 as I need to run to the vet and figured I would try to get all my errands done this morning, so I can start in on all the wonderful goodies and treats I shall be making....

Will definitely take some pictures.....

@Jen - the place I get my oils is in Mendota Heights, off of 110 and Dodd.... here is the web site, they have some amazing recipes on their web site and then when you go in to test the different flavors and mix the oils and balsamics together (my fave part) to find new flavor combos, they have recipe cards for a bunch of other things as well.... Click to find nummy recipes and where to get the nummy oils and balsamics :P
 
Re: 8/23 Skooter AMPS 114 +2 102 +3 99

Lovely cycle this morning! :mrgreen: You could look at the bright side that it's hard for you to interpret the numbers: You haven't done it for that long and hopefully you won't. :-D

Re: 8/23 Skooter AMPS 114 +2 102 +3 99 +5 101

Loving this surf that he has going on!!!!!!

I totally spaced and gave him all the food at +3 that I usually split up at +3 and then when I come home for lunch....I will give him a little something around +6 just because he is used to getting a little something...

but first a quick nap and then time to experiment with flavor combos!

Skooter is looking good today. I hope he keeps surfing for you.
 
Re: 8/23 Skooter AMPS 114 +2 102 +3 99 +5 101 +8.5 130 PMPS

I am not putting much stock in a 13 PMPS because Skooter doesn't seem to really care what is pre shot numbers are lol....that much I have learned about him....He seems to be doing well.....nothing extremely unusual or out of place....I am very curious to see what he has in store for me tonight... :roll:


As for me, I spent the afternoon making up flavor concoctions and came up with the following:

Chicken 1:
Persian Lime Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
Black Cherry Balsamic

Chicken 2:
Rosemary EVOO
Blueberry Balsamic

Steak:
Basil EVOO
Cara-Cara Orange Vanilla Balsamic
Espresso Balsamic

Burgers (added a little Onion Onion from Tastefully Simple):
Tuscan Herb EVOO
18 Year Aged Balsamic

Pasta (Veggie Rigatoni with small pepperonis, chopped red onion, sliced green olives and shredded parmesan cheese):
Garlic EVOO
Sicilian Lemon Balsamic
18 Year Aged Balsamic

It shall be interesting to see what my guinea pigs say tomorrow with all this food....


After all that, I realized, I have nothing for dinner tonight :roll:
 
Re: 8/23 Skooter AMPS 114 +2 102 +3 99 +5 101 +8.5 130 PMPS

Beautiful surf today, Skooter! How about a repeat tonight, and no dramatics? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
 
Re: 8/23 Skooter AMPS 114 PMPS 163 +2 127 +3 77

And cliff diving we shall go, I guess....

I gave him 1/2 of 1/4 (if that makes sense) LC food and 1/2 teaspoon of his raw....

We shall see what he does from here....
 
Re: 8/23 Skooter AMPS 114 PMPS 163 +2 127 +3 77 +3.5 79 +4 7

He has about 1/2 of 1/4 (again if that makes sense, I am not sure how else to say it) of food (LC) left for the night plus 1/2 teaspoon of raw.....

He last ate at +3 when he took his nose dive....at that point I gave him 1/2 of the 1/4 left (LC) and a 1/2 teaspoon raw.....

So its been about an hour without food and he is basically the same.....

Do I give him the rest of his fuds now or do I wait til +4.5 to see if he is still the same, or rising/falling?

Thanks!
 
Re: 8/23 Skooter PMPS 163 +2 127 +3 77 +3.5 79 +4 77 +4.5 84

About 1.5 hours since last ate and while he is still within the 20% variance, he is up a little...

I will go ahead and give him the last of his food for the night....

If I need to break out more food later, I shall do that, but hopefully he surfs this nicely.....
 
Re: 8/23 Skooter PMPS163+2 127+3 77+3.5 79+4 77+4.5 84+5.5 8

Not only is he surfing ever so nicely for mommabean....but he has been coming up to ME at about the time I was gonna go search for him to test....what a good lil kitty cat he is being!

Since he tends to nadir earlier....if his +6 is about the same or a bit higher, looks like this mommabean might get a few hours of shut eye!
 
Re: 8/23 Skooter+2 127+3 77+3.5 79+4 77+4.5 84+5.5 89+6.25 9

And with the wonderful hissing (two separate occasions), four attempts and the fact that his numbers are rising....I am gonna call us good for the night on testing :lol:


Especially since I am pretty sure he ain't letting me near em until the morning when I can give him his breffie ;-)
