Where to start......so much to say....

Ronnie, People such as yourself are few and far between. When you were asked to give this your all and then some, you did so without a single complaint. Not only did you go far above and beyond what most would consider complete dedication, but you did so with a smile on your face the entire time. To top it off, you always had a smile and kind words for others too. Your level of devotedness to Luna and to FDMB are so incredibly rare. Your constant enthusiasm and sense of humor are just icing on the cake.

So the day has arrived, my friend. All of those nights you or Shawn stayed awake, all of the cancelled plans because Luna needed you, all of the mini meals and adjustments to mini meal schedules, magical poo, the boxes and boxes of test strips (and coveted purple meters ;-) ).....all of it now has even more meaning. YOU DID IT!

Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. May you and Luna have many, many happy years lounging at the falls!

Unfortunately, I can't see the official video at work (site blocked!), but I saw your video of Luna - what a cutie! He reminds me of Porky - I caught a glimpse of thet furry, well-rounded belly!

Porky says to stop on by his condo for a catniptini or two....
 
CONGRATULATIONS Luna and Ronnie :RAHCAT

Such a gorgeous pic of Luna as a kitten-no wonder it was love at first sight :mrgreen:

It's lovely that you put so much time in across the whole of the FDMB board, I know how it is appreciated and hope you'll keep posting often.

Enjoy your extended lie-ins :mrgreen:
 
Where on earth did I end up? Everyone of you is totally crazy! :mrgreen:

Well... ah...

Happy happy day's to come for both of you.
Even if you, Ronnie, have to find a new hobby now (instead of poking ears).

Good luck and congrets.

Okay, let's get this party going again. party_cat This is a day that should be celebrated for more 24 hours! :RAHCAT :dizcat So, where are the niptinis and I could go for a piece of that bottomless cake. drinking09 drinking24 flip_cat

Congrats Ronnie and Luna. You are an inspiration to all of us and you definitely deserve your new home in the Falls.

Where to begin? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Luna seemed like one of those cats who would be in and out of here in no time. His response to insulin was great, he got good numbers quickly. But then he started bouncing, and bouncing, and bouncing. The dose went down to practically nothing and the bouncing got worse… How could any cat bounce that much on not even a whole drop of insulin? And what dose do you give a cat who goes too low on the lowest possible dose, but can’t go without insulin?

Jill and I started brainstorming about food timing. I can say this now, but I was beginning to suspect that Luna would NOT be able to go off insulin. We were concerned about suggesting a mini-meal system because it would be so hard on you, and we didn’t know how long you would be able to keep going at the pace we were asking of you. But we weren’t ready to give up yet and we knew you weren’t ready either. So we experimented, and then you picked up on what we were trying and you started experimenting too. When Luna finally learned to surf, I was ecstatic. When he started showing inverted curves a few weeks ago, I cried.

Ronnie, YOU did this for Luna. You tried everything we suggested and you never complained (I sure would have said something if some stranger told me to get up in the middle of the night every night to give the cat a snack). You took the suggestions we made, and kept fiddling with them until they worked for Luna. Not only that, but I think you have read and posted in every single kitty’s condo, every single day!

We heart you Ronnie, and Luna too. You worked really really hard and you deserve this. But please don't go away, you're too much a part of LL now so don't leave us! nailbite_smile

Hey look! It's Balloon Boy! :mrgreen:

Hi party beans and kitties in the house! How much catnip we got to go around? :lol:

I would like to express my deepest heartfelt thank you to all of you who have made this special day for me, Luna and Shawn the best day ever!
Thank you so very much for your wonderful, kind words and wishes for Luna. Thank you D & Noisy for the beautiful video!

Shawn got home today and I showed him the party condo and he loved the OTJ video - absolutely loved it! I even saw him get a little teary eyed!
Many of you guys have asked what will I do every 2 hours? I'm gonna hound you for those spot checks! :lol: LOL! I'm kiddin' ;-)

I also can assure you that while I may of appeared calm and collected :roll: according to DBF Shawn, angry(2)_cat frustration, limited sleep and a couple of missed holidays with family, I wasn't always a joy to live with - his words tonite lol! But I see in his face how proud he is and happy that Luna is the silly happy kitty he grew to love when he first met him a few years ago.

One of my saddest memories is that DX day in August when the 2nd vet told me "most people give up and pts after a few months", plus "one day you will come home and your cat will be dead". Those awful memories have now been replaced with pride, joy and an enormous amount accomplishment to get to where we are today.
I urge everyone here to never ever give up. Despite the obstacles and the endless bounces, always remember, you are here to reach that goal of the happy healthy kitty you fell in love with.
They say we grow closer to them day after day - it's true, there is an incredible bond we have with our kitties that grows stronger everyday and it makes all those frustrating days and nights so much more worthwhile. Love, play and hug your beautiful little furballs everyday.

I want to send my deepest thanks and gratitude to the Lantus Land Team of wonderful, dedicated Angels - correction - Advisors! Without their knowledge, experience and dedication Luna would not be where he is today. I could not of done this without them.
Not only are they advisors, but they are also our friends, our support team, here to hold our hands during those low numbers, to give us ((hugs)) for encouragement, to cheer us on and to remind us gently of the protocols, to have patience and to breath.

Thank you Jill, Libby, Cassandra and Bonnie (we miss u Bonnie!) for holding my hand and Luna's paw through rough times
and wishing us well on those happy days. To all the wonderful, kind, and funny gals ;-) who fill in when they can - :YMHUG:

JoJo, those days when we were corresponding about making the switch from Caninsulin, I have those notes all printed up since that day.
You welcomed Luna and I to Lantus Land and set us up in our daily cozy condo's. I will always be grateful to you for taking the time to help me make that switch.

On October 5th, 2009, Luna began his journey with a kinder, gentle insulin til 3 months to the day - January 5th, 2010, his last shot of Lantus before going on trial.

I won't be going anywhere, I love to help when I can, if I can, if I can't - you all get a PM from me! :lol: Maybe a few :lol:

((Hugs)) to all my friends and kitties here in Lantus Land.

Now where's that open bar? Oh look - AlphaBean Roving Reported hanging out with the kitties with niptinis in hand and paws :lol:

hey i heard there was cake? lolol! sorry i am late (was sick per usual, blah) but had to get my butt over here to say GOOD JOB!!!!!! cause you certainly did just that. i peeked at SS a few times during my absence (since i felt bad kinda abandoning ya when i got sick, but i knew LL would take such good care of you that i didn't have any worries) and wow, you really put the effort in. is it just me or (not the first time i've seen this) is there some sort of relationship between numbers of tests and OTJ happening? maybe you poked all the sugahs outta luna? :razz: dedication, u haz it. and i am just so happy it paid off with the biggest prize of all~ a one way ticket to the falls.

CONGRATULATIONS!!
enjoy life by the pool at the falls in LL village.
