good chemo day for an old lab, so we took the extra long sniffy route
Not posting for pity, just because today felt normal in the best way. 11-year-old lab with lymphoma had treatment yesterday and woke up wanting breakfast, walk, everything. We kept it gentle and let him sniff every leaf in the county. I'll take ordinary joy where it shows up.

The appetite after chemo always felt like such a relief when my girl went through it.

No pity here, just glad you got a soft one.
