Cupid Update
You probably heard Cupid's voice over in yesterday's ice cream video. When I took the video, Cupid was just diagnosed with diabetes so there were no ice cream treats for her and she wasn't too thrilled about that.
Since her diagnosis, Cupid has been back to the vet on a weekly basis to get her blood tested to see if we can get her sugar under control.
The first time we went back her sugar was too low. So, we dropped her shots to once a day rather than twice a day. The next week her blood sugar was still too low. So, we stopped giving Cupid insulin shots all together. Last friday, we took her back in for testing and her blood sugar was just right!
We're not really sure why Cupid had the shortest bout of diabetes ever, but we are not going to question our good luck on this one. That being said, we are going to keep a close eye on Cupid as diabetes can come and go in cats. But for now, no more insulin shots for Cupid.

Cupid, you are a miracle! Such a beautiful and healthy girl!!!
Thanks for all your sweet words about my miracle boy yesterday everyone.
Good news all around
I love opening up OBP and read good news…two days in a row.
Cupid you look bright and alert at this visit. Keep on keeping on sweet girl.
What a beautiful picture. And great news. I imagine Cu[id wondered why you started shooting her as well as why you stopped. “After all, it was only a little Tootsie Roll eaten before the first vet visit. Guess I won’t do that again.”
