    Oh man, Lori, welcome! Our Chug is diabetic too! Apparently it's a pretty normal thing for Chihuahuas, we found out AFTER we rescued him. He doesn't seem to mind the vestulin. (unless it's a day when WE screw up and pinch him) Of course, he gets his little dab of peanut butter at the same time so I think that helps. LOL.

    I don't understand the marker thing either. I just try to read everything, every day and comment when I can. Sometimes it's a <3, sometimes it's a book! Today it's in between. Nothing much going on.

    Well, went to the last Rummikub that I HAVE to be at. I met the gal who is going to take it over and it seems that if she can’t find anyone to host, then she’ll have it at her house. Really, I wouldn’t want to have it at my house every month, but it’s up to her.

    Welcome Lori. Do you have to give Jax insulin? We had a cat who was diabetic. Really, when it was time for his insulin he, literally, would come to us as if to say “it’s time”. I do think he associated the insulin with feeling better. Now Jessica’s cat who was diabetic! That was another story. He wanted nothing to do with the insulin. Giving it to him was a real hassle.

    Anne DE – I know our vet has a month when it’s “Dental Month” and you get the dental work for a certain percentage off. You might ask your vet if they have something like that. As I recall, the month seemed to be February, but don’t quote me on that.

    Talked to the vp of Newcomers. Seems that the first month after Vince helped the treasurer, her reports were more what they wanted. Unfortunately, it hasn’t continued. Of course, we don’t want to hurt her by Vince jumping in and doing the job. Wish she’d ask for help. Oh well…..

    Worked. Vince is feeling “achey” so he’s not going to bowling. Honestly, you’d think HE was the one who didn’t like this league. This is the last time I go. Yeaaaa

    kamaphia – almost all my clothes come from a thrift store. That is, except pants because I need a petite size and they very rarely have petites. Hope Beau is better. Could it be arthritis? Hope your son gets better fast

    I admit that I did binge yesterday just thinking how great it will be not to HAVE to go to Rummikub.

    Ceramics tonight. If Vince doesn’t go, I will. They’re closed next week because the gal who runs it is going on vacation

    DH & I are currently in an apartment in an assistant living facility in Illinois. We are here while DH recovers from surgery following a heart attack. We are in Illinois because of our daughter’s efforts to help. We have a home and good friends in Oregon, and they are keeping watch on our home there.

    Hi Katla! how are you doing mentally and physically? What are you doing to stay busy? Any fun stuff? Glad to see you post!

    Back from dentist. Had to feed all the critters early this morning so I could get there on time. Just a cleaning, have to go for crown next month. DD's friend is still here, she leaves early tomorrow morning. She has to be at the airport by 4:30 am. We have a new neighbor to the east of us and they have invited everyone in the neighborhood to a party next Saturday afternoon. Could be fun.

    Everyone take care, Sue in WA

    exermom -- I suspect that might be what is going on although his last x-rays didn't show any significant deterioration. I just hate to see him so miserable. The vet gave us a few pain pills last visit, so we might just need to get more (or different meds) for him. He's the happy-go-lucky dog (out of our 3), so I'm used to him being a ray of sunshine. Breaks my heart to see him in pain.

    1derland99: Those experiments look awesome. My husband would love to experiment with no carb options, but our son has nut allergies, so we try to avoid them in the house as much as possible. It really stinks because I'm a vegetarian and used nuts as protein a lot before he was diagnosed. But, once he heads off to college, we'll be able to start adding some back into our diet during the school year.

    Took my son today to the specialist to do a follow-up. Wanted to wait until Friday so it wouldn't impact his band camp, but they highly suggested that he be seen today when I called this morning so I panicked a little. But all is good. No surgery is needed. Just antibiotics and prescription strength ibuprofen/Tylenol regiment. So relieved.

    Tonight we are doing a band fundraiser at a local Noodle & Company restaurant. It's going to put me a little over my calories, but I'm not going to worry about it. I can't be perfect all the time anyway. I skipped the one last week at an ice cream shop, but I'm looking forward to some comfort carbs tonight.

    Lisa - our youngest daughter won’t eat any meat that she can see any veining, bones, etc in. I don’t know when she started this because she ate it when she lived at home.

    @exermom: I give Jax a small dose of insulin twice a day. I'm still getting used to it. I just adopted Jax ten days ago. He doesn't care for the shots, but he doesn't fight them either.

    @minicooper452: I'm glad Chug does well with his vestulin. My daughter gives Jax a treat when he gets his shot. When she goes back to school, I'll have to manage to give him his treat myself. He'll need to wait a few seconds between shot and treat.

    Thanks for being such a welcoming group!
