That’s right, I said collecting pee. We need to test Bubba’s urine for his blood sugar levels this weekend. Definitely something easier said than done.
My husband tried on Friday a couple times with no success. Every time he went outside with him, Bubba just sat there. No pee forth coming.
I tried a couple times today with the same outcome. None.
Then it hit me. We needed to take both him and his sister out front on leases. Finally, he peed on the neighbors fence (he has always been particle to fences) and I was right there with the cup. He did kick it out of my hands, but enough stayed in the cup to test.
Now we just need to do it again two or three more times.

I love my dogs and they have free roam of the backyard. Part of being their owner is picking up the poop. Not a favorite activity, but one I do because I love my dogs and cleaning up after them is part of the deal.
What I don’t love is dog poop on the front lawn that didn’t come from my dogs. It seems that one of my neighbors isn’t having any problem letting their dog or dogs roam freely all over the neighborhood.
I hope to spot the offender and the owner in the coming weeks. Yes, they will know that I don’t love them or their poop when I catch them.
And in our town, pooping on the neighbors lawn isn’t only in bad taste, it’s illegal since we have a leash law. Poopers beware.

Monday Bubba had his first diabetes check up. He is doing well. The vets made no change in his care, his food and insulin will stay the same for now.
We thought that he was doing much better this week, but it was great news for the vet to confirm it. I can actually breath a little easier now.
While Bubba is doing well, Allie is not to pleased with us. Since Bubba had to go on a diet and very specific feeding times Allie has had to do the same. She is having a harder time adjusting than Bubba has.
As always I’ve done a little web research myself this week. I have read pieces of several dog diabetes sites. I’m glad they are out there and plan to keep doing more research. I hope in the future to recommend some of these sites.
