Error! Error! The meter cries.
And flashes its display.
Into the trash, the strip it goes
Good money thrown away.
He swats my hand with velvet paw
Annoyed, he takes his leave.
Alas, alack, I’ve no success
I’ve failed again this eve.

Do not flick your ears, my Baer,
I’ve only made one prick.
I need a tiny drop of blood
On this expensive stick.
Don’t shake your head Baer, I implore.
I’ll lose that drop so red
Of precious blood I need to test.
No! Please don’t shake your head!

A message left unsaid
He’s done a little wee
In the middle of the bed.

These pokes and pricks do hurt
And I stab him thrice a day
He’s really quite fed up
And he has much to say.

Baer is not happy with me.
But he doesn’t have the words
So he does a little wee.
Or leaves a little turd.

It’s a cold Caturday. The furnace is kicking on. I finally made a lap. After Daisy followed me around all morning bitching at me. All appliances running now. Washer, dryer and dishwasher. The electricity dial must be spinning furiously.

Adventures with a diabetic cat. Stabbed Baer when I got home after work last night. Tried again an hour after he (and I) had some dinner. Success!
This morning… 3 stabs and he very kindly let me know via not breaking my skin with his teeth that I was not to try a 4th time.

(Dramatically) It is time for the blood letting! *stab* No blood!? *stab* Bleed dammit! *stab* (mournfully) Oh Baer, why won’t you give me any blood?
Zoom Meeting Facilitator: Umm… Carol? You aren’t muted.
Boss: It’s her cat! She has a diabetic cat!

This big goofball. I put the harness and leash on him to take him out. He got brave enough after a few false starts to leave the patio. Went out the open gate! Oh my! Then got frightened by a rustle in the bushes and ran for the front door. He is safe with Mummy.

This brave, brave diabetic boy. At the pokey place again. For a urine and blood draw for sugar tests. I let the vet techs be the bad guys.

His magnificence Sir Baer Fulffington, the first of his name, was a perfect sweetheart at the vet. Blood sugars are going down slowly. Insulin increased by one unit to 4 units twice a day. Re-check in a week.

Two minutes later, kitten Velcro is sitting up on her haunches, both front paws on the tablet trying to sell everything at a discount. Yes, a foster kitten has attacked when I left a war game open. Did pretty well too!
