Two Months Since Lantus Injection *antijinx*

Well here we are......it has been two months since Webber's last insulin injection.  My mom couldn't believe that it has already been that long.  I admit that I have finally gotten more comfortable with not testing every other day (lol).  I think the last time I tested Webber's BG 5 days had passed.  That may not sound like a lot but it used to be like every other day.

It has been about one month since I switched all the cats to eating Wellness canned food.  The flavors that I am feeding are still low carb.  The best part of this switch is that Webber's dandruff in GONE!!!  His coat really looks awsome now.  It has gotten so shiny and silky soft.  I am thinking this has to do with (1) getting his BG's under control ad (2) changing their food to a high quality.  The Wellness is alot more expensive than what I was feeding, but I think it it soooo worth it.  I am able to order a whole months worth of food from Pet Food Direct and it turns out to be cheaper than shopping at the store or the online store.  Around here the closest place that sells Wellness is Petco.  They don't match their online prices and if you order online, they charge tax and shipping......after cost analysis it was cheaper to order a months worth of food from Pet Food Direct.  Plus, they have autoship that also gives me a 15% discount every month.  Woohoo

I have come to realize that Petsmart does not really carry high quality commercial cat food (at least the canned).  They carry the "most common" but not always the healthiest foods.  I used to not like Petco because it always smelled like animals in the store.  But they seem to carry more organic and higher quality foods than Petsmart.  I still go to Petsmart because of how close it is and that they carry the 40 pound Swheat Scoop litter.  Anywho I digress....no one cares about this....

Webber still continues to amaze me with how playful he is.  I really do wonder how long he had diabetes.  I love to watch him run around like a kitten.  I think he plays more now than all the other cats, hehe.

My cats are my life (okay that sounds pretty pitiful).....they mean ALOT to me.  I am blessed to have 4 cats that all get along.

When the dog is scared of the cat. Current Situation....

Tough for her. I've been using a water bottle to squirt her when she gets too close to the door. Until we can get the pet door that only...
