1/16 Bubba AMPS -73,+1-90,+2.5-73,+5-63,+6.5, 59.+7-57,10.25-81

So far Bubba likes this increase. He continued to go down all night. I will get a +1 to see if it is safe for Momma to go back to bed for another hour or so. Got to go check out how his buddy Colin made out with his amazing breakthrough. and see how the rest of his friends fared.

Yesterday

 

Way to go Bubba.

Liking that AMPS!

 

Great start for Bubba. I hope he surfs safely today.

 

+1 is 90 so, I think Momma can go back to bed for an hour or so.

 

Great start Bubba, keep it going!

 

Great start to the day!

 

+2.5 and he's back to 73. This is going to be an active cycle today. Momma got to figure out when she can go run some much needed errands today.

 

Bubba, your looking great! It's always the days that errands need to be done that the cycles are more active Surf safely buddy.

 

Great numbers! And what a nice boy you are, letting your Mama Bean go back to bed for a bit!

 

Woo hoo! It took BOS to shoot that 73. Good for you! And for Bubs.

 

Great start. Like the greens. He's getting his Irish on

 

Great start for the day, nice....!

 

Woah Bubba, slow down partner, he' 63 @ +5, going give a little LC again. He hasn't even hit his nadir yet.......

 

Well, so much for running errands today...

 

Beautiful cycle Bubba! Good job buddy

 

I actually did one errand and was gone for 1 hour between +4 and +5. Guess I am getting a bit braver. The assumption on my part was that I really need to be around from +6 . Will be getting his +6 in 15 mins. Bubba boy is going to get extra fuds today for sure. Guess I should cut his dinner meal down to compensate. How is Colin?

 

Colin is flyin' high...

 

He'll come back down. His body will get used to being in lower numbers and hopefully he'll drop down a range and flatten out. This is the roller coaster part for sure!

 

Looking good, Bobbie!
You're doing a great job feeding Bubba's curve.

Let's try to keep him surfing the 60s. How about a +7 to see if he bumped up a little?

 

All ready got the alarm set. He likes this dose, and I hope that he won't bottom out so we can hold this dose and hopefully keep him in the greens. Of course, all that said, I realize Bubba is in control.....

 

Wow!! Bubba is surfing with style!!!

Great Job this morning Bobbie, and congrats on getting braver, I guess this is the other part of FD learning when and for how long it's safe to leave our furballs, all part of the Know thy Cat mantra.

 

I'd also like to see him keep the dose, but you're right... Bubba's leading this dance.
Don't be afraid to give him a healthy bump with MC or HC or even a drop or two of syrup if you feel he's dropping too fast or if you feel you're losing control. This is especially true with Bubba since he's not close to nadir yet.

 

I was a bit nervous, I won't lie..... but I had to get this errand done, one more but looks like it will be later tonight if he shows me he is not going to do any funny stuff.

 

Beautiful numbers Bubba~!

 

+7- 57, I'm going to give him .75 oz of MC to support him for his nadir later. (that rhymes)

 

I bet he is enjoying his fuds

 

Sounds good.
Don't forget, another option is to squeeze gravy from a can of HC if you think feeding will make him too full. Same reasoning behind adding a drop or two of syrup. The last thing we want is to fill him up and have him vomit.

 

Good idea. Should I reduce his dinner amount since he has gotten an extra 3/4 can so far today? Doubt if he'd fill up, he is like Jabba the Hutt.

 

Oh, yeah he is enjoying the extra fuds. All I have to do is pull a saucer out of the cabinet and he appears......

 

No, let's not mess with his feeding schedule at this point. I'd continue feeding as usual... except for feeding later in this cycle. "If" he doesn't need it to prop his numbers up, I'd skip that one meal.

 

Sounds good.

 

When you get a chance (no rush)...

When you're signed in and looking at Bubba's ss, slide the 2016 tab (at the bottom) all the way to the left. That will keep the 2016 sheet on top when we click on your ss link.

 

55 @ + 8. Going to give a tsp of gravy to boost up.

 

Your instincts are good.
Retest in 30 minutes, please.

 

He only came up to 62. Should I give more HC since he has another 3 hours with this cycle?

 

Yes, good idea.
If possible, I'd love to see him in the 60 -70 range (or higher) going into pmps.

 

He's loving the HC gravy. Just a fat tsp and I will recheck in 30.

 

You're doing great and appear to be handling all this in stride.
How are you really doing?

 

I am so happy about this cycle that it is the prevalent emotion right now. I even ran another quick errand in between the two HC tsp. It's crazy how calm I am .

 

Good!
You really are in control!

 

68 @ 9.5 Thinking another tsp of HC since he characteristically drops more at the end. What do you think?

 

I'd give 2 teaspoons of HC.

 

My reasoning is he almost always drops at the end of the cycle and we'd like to avoid feeding past +10 if at all possible. If he can get a nice bump now we won't have to be concerned about the effects of feeding within 2 hours of shot time.

That said, we'll do what we have to do to keep him safe. If that means feeding past +10... so be it.
Safety comes first.

 

That makes sense. Hope the 2 bumps him up so I can safely shoot at 5:30 EST
Bubba is being a little trooper with all the pokes.

 

He's such a good boy!

 

Wowza! Bubba has his speed skates on today! Good for you for being calm and being able to run errands!

 

81 @ 10.25. Holding the noms and we'll see where he is in 1 1/4 hours for PMPS. Fingers and Paws that he won't drop too much and I can shoot.

 

Awesome!
I'll come back for the pmps number.

 

Thanks so much Jill. I appreciate you sticking with me!

 

No problem! I've been scrubbing my kitchen in-between tests... cabinets, counters, appliances, to floor!

 

LOL, I have done laundry and made corn bread!

 

PMPS IS 81! I am so glad not to high and not too low, Goldilocks number.

 

PS. Jill, good call on 2 tsp. of HC 9.25.

 

woooooooooo - hooooooooo!
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

I'm guessing he'll probably bounce, but get a +1 or a +2 just in case he's decided he prefers the color green!
We're not going out tonight, so I'll check back...

 

Okey Dokey, will do!

 

I'll shoot for a +2 to give his little ears a break.

 

Sounds good! See you then...

 

What a lovely green day!

 

He was a full time job today! He's probably going to bounce and that will give me a break but if not, I put coffee on.

 

Coffee and cornbread....yum

 

Better if the cornbread is dipped in buttermilk.

 

Wow! You two had a busy and great green day!

 

We sure did, getting a +2 in about 35 mins to see how this cycle will go. Tired but I will do what I got to do in the name of progress.

 

PM +2- 138. That's his typical food hike. Looks like he can get a pokey break for the most part. Do you think a +4ish and a + 8 and +10 would be enough tonight?

 

Based on current data, a +4ish and a + 8 should give you an idea if you'll need to get up for a +10.

 

Sounds good. Momma is getting tired and is going to bed right after the +4. Thanks again Jill for being here. This is exciting stuff. (guess that gives you an indicator of my lame life......)

 

You're welcome.
Get some sleep while you can!

 

Good thing you took a nap the other day! He may be getting you up early! I'm glad he likes this dose. Hopefully you can get some sleep. Good work today, Bubba!

 

199 @ +3.75

Good job today, Bobbie!
Ni-ni...

 

+3.75 - 199 The bounce has started. It was a great green run and Momma Bean is going to B-E-D. Thanks again Jill!

 

Bubba is giving you beautiful numbers and you are managing it all so well!!

 

What a beautiful day Bubba had and you did an awesome job keeping him safe and in great numbers! Well done! Now pass me some cornbread, please!

 

I got a kick out of "pass the cornbread, please"!
