Hello folks and Happy New Year (almost)
We had a wonderful time on our trip and Mary did a great job with Shadow. It couldn't have gone better. If Shadow is confined to a small room with her automat and a kitty box, she is perfectly happy and uses both reliably.
And then it was nearly Christmas and I had to hit the ground running and wasn't able to get in here to post Shadow's condo.
On Christmas day I was working in the kitchen and noticed the floor was wet in front of the sink and when I opened the cabinet, water gushed out. The p-trap had rusted thru. Since there was no way to wash up, we bumped our family Christmas to my sister's house. But that meant there was no way to give Shadow her insulin and I certainly wasn't going to be able to get a pet sitter at that late date and I made the decision to skip 2 doses while we were away. She's never spilled ketones so I thought she would be safe. I left tons of food out for the monsters and off I went.
When I got back from the ranch and checked Shadow's BG, I decided I'd give it a couple days and just watch her and see what happened. And I'm still watching. She's had 5 days of no insulin so I'm pretty sure her shed is drained by now, right? I'm ready to step back in and start it all up again as soon as she shows signs of rising BG.
If there is something else I need to be doing, I hope someone will advise me.
I have hesitated to post all this because it hasn't happened according to protocol and Shadow and I have been committed to the protocol up to this point. She wouldn't still be with me if I hadn't come across Dr. Lisa's site and stumbled into this place.
I hope everyone has had a Happy Christmas. Tena told me Michelle is a grandmother and Mowgli went OTJ so I'm off to read condos for the first time in quite a while. It will be good to catch up with everyone and I noticed some new kitties have joined us here in LL.

I will send you info via PM on where to send the photos for your OTJ party video.
