Where did all that lovely green go??? Cinco, don't make me use the "d" word!
A fairly quiet day, overall Cinco had another of those cycles where he was lower at PMPS than any other time during the day, but was overall flat. No out of box incidents, although I think I averted one when I saw him wandering into the laundry room, then out and towards the bar. I gave him a quick trip to the lb. I guess I should let him find it on his own, but after he's been wandering a while I am so afraid he's not going to get there in time! The vet suggested diapers, but I just can't do that to him! Now, if he should start going on the furniture, I may change my mind!
Speaking of the vet, she called today to tell me that, as expected, the culture came back negative. So no medical reason that we can see for the peeing misadventures. She was inclined to agree with me about his just not getting to the box in time. So we'll just avert it when we can and live with it when we can't.
Minka's appy is still subpar. She did eat a few bites of breakfast, then threw it up about 30 minutes later.
Interestingly, her meds did not come up, even though I had just given them to her a few minutes before. I gave her more tummy meds and she ate about 1/4 of a jar of baby food with fluids, but I wasn't satisfied with that and syringed about 10-11 cc of NF before she wanted me to stop. She later finished the jar of baby food. She has been working on her dinner for the past two hours and has it almost gone. 
Paws crossed this flare is subsiding (anti-jinx). I haven't felt like she needed any Bupe today.
Sasha is still "meh" on breakfast, but eating later in the day. I just tried a little experiment with her. It just kills me that she spends so much time upstairs alone when she clearly wants to be with me. She won't hang down here because of Harvey. I brought her down and put her in the stroller, which I parked in the kitchen next to me as I unloaded the dishwasher and washed dishes. I talked to her the whole time and stopped every now and then to give scritches and belly rubs. She seemed to enjoy it for about 15 minutes, then started to get antsy, so I took her back upstairs. I'm going to keep doing it as long as she seems to like it. I'm just so conscious of how little time I may have left with my babies and don't want to regret later that I didn't spend more of it with them.
Harvey is eating well, still. I will call UCD first thing in the morning and report the results of the urine test. I presume they will tell me to start insulin. I hope they aren't going to try to get me to come in and have a curve or something done. Based on his most recent weight (8lb 5 oz/3.628kg), I plan to tell them I'll start him on 1 unit. We'll see how they feel about my taking charge! Assuming they say, "yes, start insulin", we'll attempt the first shot Tuesday morning. Gulp. 
Time to get the leftovers heating and make the salad. Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday evening.
Sending healing vines to all in need and hugs to all their beans, especially Marilyn & Polly, Carla & her civvie Baby, Wendy & Neko & civvie Theo, and Marje & Gracie.
Prayers continue for Amy's DF, Lyresa's DF and DH, Marje's DM, Chris' DM, Molly's DM, and Elise's DM.

Not sure where he might have gone in between. He's not telling.
