Yesterday's Condo

Morning everyone! Happy Labor day!
Hindisight is always 20/20 right?
I gave him some HC gravy last night at +4.5 as I went to bed. Now I look back and wonder if that was necessary, if I overdid it or if I made the right call.
Shadow has trained me to not trust him when he is green...I figured that he has a habit of going right for the 30s and I really wanted to keep him at this dose for as long as I possibly could. I thought about it after his snack at +4...where are you going tonight Shadow? :roll: nailbite_smile :roll: He had a regular LC snack at +7...and I had a few one hour naps. So, he did not earn a dosecrease. I will chalk this up as a WIN for Mama...even if i was too heavy handed... :razz:

Shadow must earn three <50 numbers to get a dosecrease but he must know that and goes right to the 30s at times. I hate that sinking feeling of seeing a 30 when I know he needs this dose. :roll:
As a side note..one of my cheapo alarm clocks broke as I was going to bed last night so I will have to go out and get another one. I do not trust me and my cell phone although it did work last night okay.

Barbecue on the beach again under the GREEN umbrella. Raja has the volleyball net set up and Shadow has the horseshoes ready. They are going to steal away and go to Duchess' house today while everyone parties on the beach.
Raja wants to meet her and tell her all about the loving friends she has. She said that Ginger might come with them too to tell Duchess about the warm greetings she herself received this past week when she first met everyone. They are horrified at the behavior of those cats where she lived before. They want her to know that all their friends are NOT like THAT! Hope everyone has a great day today...and we look forward to seeing all the kitties here again...

Re: 8/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192

wow what a great run of numbers last night shadow! For what it's worth I think you handled it right last night by doing the HC .. I mean, if this is his bounce from a HC spill over, well, it's still blue and I bet he comes down in no time .. and you definitely don't want him to drop to the 30's .. that's not good at all .. have a great monday guys!
 
Re: 8/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192

Looks like you did a great job Pat! It's so hard to tell what the right thing to do is, especially when you're in the middle of the situation. Blue wasn't bad, and he's still there this morning - that's awesome! Maybe someday I'll get there with Emma....

Happy Labor Day!
 
Re: 8/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192

It looks like you did a great job last night. :-D :-D Shadow will be under that green umbrella in no time.

Achilles will be heading over to your beach party to hang with Raja and Shadow under the green umbrella :mrgreen:
 
Re: 8/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192

You did good Pat. A little gravy never hurt anyone, especially if it gives you peace of mind.

However, wanna change your subject title - it's now sept not august! I know, if only we could turn back the days and make it summer again.

Maui said, she'll be coming to the beach party and she's bringing her beach blanket and of course a wagon full of nipjitos!

She also wanted to know what those kitties problem was with Miss Duchess. Maui said for a small fee (her lunch money) she would protect her from those meanies. After all, nobody messes with Maui!
 
Re: 8/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192

Hi Pat, I agree that you did right by feeding a little HC. Don't second-guess yourself! Stu is looking forward to hanging out on the beach under the green umbrella. I hope he surfs and doesn't go diving!! Have a great Labor Day! So nice that Raja and Shadow are going to go to meet Duchess.

Ella & Stu
 
Re: 8/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192

Morning!!Computee Look how crazy computee let me on today!!Yesterday Moonie was 148 when I left--Fed her 8 tempations bef ore I left to offset possible drop--.Then left tons of food-
In the car, I said to myself, why didnt I leave out some MC to offset possible drop?-DUH!! :roll:
As Shadow was in the 80 range, if you fed MC maybe the bounce today may have been a litle lower?
I also panic at the thought of her going too low especially when I'm going out
You did what was right for Shadow--He does drop so suddenly!
Get that boy a parachute :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
You always do what's good for Shadow--He is doing great!!
Hope Moonie has a good today at beach--She's ready !!
I'm geting new puter this afternoon bcatrun_gif party_cat pc_work pc_work pc_work party_cat

Re: 8/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192

oh yes - HC was in order. I would have done the same with Mannie - in fact I did last night -- and here we are this morning at a 288. :YMSIGH: Ya gotta do what the situation dictates. You did good!

Mannie has his bag all packed and ready to go - just bolted out the door - muttering something about see you whenever, and don;t wait up. :shock:

Hey Shad-O!! On my way dude! I am so excited about playing volleyball. It's a little scary - that ball is so big, ya know - I hope I don't bean anyone! Can I come and visit Duchess too? See you soon! ~~ Mannie
 
Re: 8/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192

Just lovely numbers for Shadow, hope they continue, and have a great holiday Monday
 
Re: 9/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192

What a great day (and night) Shadow had. I like the plan. My boys will be comming to the party, I have to finish yard work and stacking wood before it starts pissin' again :roll: Enjoy your holiday everyone.
 
Re: 9/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192

What beautiful numbers your boy is giving you. He'll be seeing green again today I'm sure.

As soon as I told Tori about the beach party she got all excited and is getting ready to go. It's been a little while since she saw all her friends. She's eager to tell them how she's only going to have chemo every two weeks now. She's so happy about that. Who can blame her? She'll be there in a bit.
 
Re: 9/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192

Nice numbers and good decision. HC for when you can't test....makes puurrrfect sense to me.

A day at the beach....sounds delightful.
 
Re: 9/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192

If that's a bounce, its a low bounce! You did a great job last night, Pat. I hear you on the alarms. I've added a new alarm to my shopping list after missing 2 alarms last night. I'm sure Blackie will come to beach again to lay under that green umbrella. :mrgreen:
 
Re: 9/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192~+4=163

Hi Pat. I don't comment on food, 'cause I'm still learning how to do it.
I think you're doing a fabulous job with Shadow! :-D
 
Re: 9/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192~+4=163

+3=190
+4=163
I feel like I was run over by a Mack truck. @-) Getting up every hour is the prudent thing to do but it's killing me...the old gray mare just ain't what she used to be.....many long years ago...
The kitties are at the beach, DH is golfing...I am going to take a nap. After a +5 that is...
+5=139
ni-ni :-D
 
Re: 9/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192~+4=163~+5=139

Great PM cycle for Shadow and blue for the AM is always nice :) Hope you guys hit those greens again!!
 
Re: 9/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192~+4=163~+5=139

Great day for Shadow yesterday and you do have to sleep sometimes. Have a good nap. I-) I-) I-) I-)

Raja, I'd like to come visit Duchess too, but there might be too many kitties already. We'll talk on the beach. I used to live with 50 other kitties, so I know what she was going through. Maybe I'll come tomorrow so she can take it a little slower. I'll bring catmint tea and tuna scones, Be there soon. -- Tess

+8=127
He had a little snack...peace reigns in the Kingdom.

They went off to visit Duchess...and tomorrow maybe Tess and Raja will pay another visit...maybe with Mannie if he wants to come to. If it's all right with duchess that is....we hope to welcome her ...and help her to feel at home with us all...
 
Re: 9/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192~+4=163~+5=139~+8=127

I came home to peacock feathers EVERYWHERE! Every few feet there were little play mice...even one in the LB! ohmygod_smile One of Latte's favorite toys, I had not decided to introduce yet (a feather on a stick) was in the middle of the floor! HOW did they find it?!?! :shock: DIrty kitty footprints in the bathtub and sink...faucets RUNNING! :o Duchess was covered in cat nip and greeted me with a very suspicious meow. :lol:

I take it they had a great time! Thanks for stopping by. Certainly they are welcome to come back tomorrow for an informal cleaning up party while Im at work for NINE hrs! ;-)

Do you think Raja, Shadow, and anyone else who comes by can explain to Duchess how important it is to start eating that wet food. And that its okay to not eat all of her food after playing so hard....she ate everything and wont get more until bed. This is going to be a looooooong evening. :lol: On the other hand, if Shadows numbers end up higher tonight, then maybe we will know why. You dont think he would be tempted to eat the kibble, would he?? nailbite_smile

Well Shadow, looks like another great day for you! Nice Job!
And Pat, I think if your goal is to keep him at this dose as long as you can, and what you did last night prevented a decrease, than you did exactly right. Nice thinking! :mrgreen:

Hope the evening is calm. Duchess cant wait to see her friends tomorrow (she is exhausted and resting up, as I type).
 
Re: 9/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192~+4=163~+5=139~+8=127

Hey Shadow, Raja, and kitties, I'd like to meet Duchess tomorrow, too. May I please come? I'll be very polite and won't teach her how to dive and do all the crazy stuff FD kitties do. In fact, I'll cook her a nice, slimming dish.

Stu
 
Re: 9/6 Pat's Shadow AMPS=192~+4=163~+5=139~+8=127

What a beautful blue day!! ! Looks like you have it down pat, Pat :lol: :lol: :lol:
Moonie eats on her own, & I dont do the feeding timed thing, so Everyone of us Knows Thy Cat!
You sure know Shadow, he is doing soooooo great!!

Got a new computer--Will be up tomorrow morning-- :RAHCAT :RAHCAT :RAHCAT
Then down to business!!--Hope you had a great day--Hugs -BBL

Shadow I had such a great day over there!! So great seeing everyone-Missed you kitties!!
Looking very good out on the waves--Hope we can go again soon!! Huggies Moonie!

Well , they said that Duchess was not shy at all...she really was a hoot...they said they never stopped laughing at the funny things she said and did. She would love to meet Mannie and Stu and Tess tomorrow...I had no idea there was such carryings on though. :sad:
I am so sorry about the mess Carolyn...they always clean up here when there is a party.

If my two cannot behave properly they will just have to be grounded tomorrow. Sorry but I do not want them carrying on and messing up other people's homes. I am very disappointed to hear about this...
Now they will have to pay for their behavior. I can'[t believe they would act that way. I apologize on their behalf....
 
isnt it amazing how a reserved, reticent bean can wind up with kids that are that humorous and rowdy?? apparently, sometimes the acorn DOES fall far from the tree. they must be a trial to you, pat...with your quiet, sober manner...LMAO

binksy & the bean
 
Don't be too hard on them Pat. Kitties will be kitties and I'm sure when they visit tomorrow everything will be back in it's place in no time. Shadow make sure you don't go diving tonight and I bet your MOm may let you out tomorrow.
 
Shadow, Raja, you're being grounded? :o Oh, no! I think we really should have proper introductions tomorrow. You've got to get you momma bean to let you come. Work on her tonight with all your best purrs and head butts. Don't forget leg winding! -- Tess
