3/11 Benny, AMPS 141, +2 74

[Erin & Scott]

Was hoping that I'd begin to see Benny's numbers starting to trend down, but instead they seem to be creeping up. Though I didn't load his feeder last night because he had uneaten leftovers that I figured would tide him over because he hadn't seemed very hungry yesterday. So I won't do that again.

On the bright side, he slurped down his breakfast this morning and came back for seconds! Feeding has been a regular 3-ring circus around here. Benny gets meds mixed in his morning and evening feeds, and brother Shaddie has been ridiculously picky lately and hasn't been eating much, so he gets whatever he will eat, some of which is not low-carb. Of course their favorite thing is for each of them to check out what the other cat is eating to see if it's better than what they have . . .

I'm sure this is familiar to anyone trying to feed cats!

Happy Monday, all - I got an unexpected day off today, boss sent out an email late yesterday, telling us to take the day off in honor of daylight savings time, so I'll take it gladly! (Would have been nice to sleep in, but with a diabetic cat, that's not something I expect to be able to do maybe ever again.)

Ah the joys of living with a FD lovebug. With the time change, I had to wake up an hour early on Saturday to get him to his "new" preshot time before Sunday. Ugh. I guess that's good in that I was prepared for Sunday, but I don't feel quite as rested as I have in previous years after the time change. That's awesome that your boss gave you a day off! I took today off for the exact same reason! I tried it last year and I found myself in a much better place after some well-placed naps. This time last year though, Lou was on Vetsulin, so I just dosed him early instead of moving shot times in advance. I was so spoiled then, haha!

Probably one of the most annoying things about cats is how they can possibly be picky about their wet food when they ate the exact same dry food for years. Lou's the same. We have to get almost every variety of Fancy Feast they have and rotate them every meal. Hopefully Shaddie gets his full appetite back and starts eating with gusto! I hope you all have a wonderful day today and I hope Benny gets out there and surfs for you!
