Wish Me Luck! (Purrs Appreciated)

So, here I am again, sitting in the waiting room of the V-E-T.  I knew something was up this morning.  Mommy was trying to act nonchalant, but she was obviously gathering up some of my things and bringing in the carrier from the garage. 

She says that we may get some really good news today.  Last month, I came here and spent the day to have a glucose curve.  That means the people monitor me all day and take my blood every hour or so to see how I respond to my food and insulin injections.  Well, after that time, they told Mommy she could cut back on how much insulin she was giving me.  They said to come back today, to have another curve done.  And, they said if I'm doing even better this time, I may be able to stop the injections all together.  Apparently, sometimes kitties with diabetes can go into remission, and their body starts making its own insulin again.  Hopefully, that's what's happening with me.


I don't like having to spend the whole day in the hospital, away from my familiar things.  But Mommy says it's for my own good, so I'll be a trooper for today.  Keep your paws crossed for good results from my blood tests!

Room For One

Ah, a sun puddle, a heat vent, and a corner all to myself behind the tv stand.  What more could a kitty ask for?


Cheerio:  Hey, Daffy, can I join you back there?


Daffodil:  Ummmm... Let me get back to you on that.  Like, maybe next week.


Cheerio:  Okay, I'll just be waiting right here.  Sure wish I could tell time...



Snow Day Sleep In

When I woke up this morning on Mommy's bed, the sunshine was already coming in the windows.  That's strange...  We always get up while it's still dark.

Oh no!  I overslept!  I missed out on helping Mommy get ready for work and getting my brushies, too!  I bet Cheerio even ate all of my breakfast!



Wait a minute!  Mommy's still here in the bed with me.  What's going on?

Snow day!  She gets to stay with me all day!


Let's go back to sleep then...
