My latest portrait of my brilliant friend Dr. X. Seen here being gorgeous at Chateau Laurier.

Taco’s weight has gone down a bit more, but it might be because the inflammation has significantly decreased. She seems otherwise to be improving so I just keep bringing her lots of little meals all the time, and I now have an appetite stimulant I can give her if needed. I am yet again very glad to work from home. ❤️

Taco is having a super playful energetic day, which is so entirely wonderful to see.
She has her 3 week follow up appointment with the oncologist tomorrow, which is pretty significant. When she was diagnosed they weren’t sure she’d even make it a week. Needless to say, I’m super grateful for each extra day with her.

Église Saint-Gervais

This is church is just across from l'Hôtel de Ville on the east side of it. There has been an elm tree planted outside the church since the middle ages, and balconies on the streets past it have an elm pattern that references it.

Spangle is doing well too. I’m making sure she is getting hugs and cuddles and playtime too, even while Taco is requiring a little extra attention. As you can see, she’s very busy doing important mousie business.

Taco’s been doing really well these past couple days. She’s way more active and her appetite is much better. Quite possibly she’s more active *because* her appetite has improved. She’s been taking Cerenia (an antiemetic that also helps with pain and inflammation) for a while now, and started Palladia (a chemotherapy drug) 11 days ago.

Keeping a cozy basket on my desk was a brilliant move. ❤️

Spangle snoozing happily after a tough day of going to the vet. (Just for standard tests. Both she and Taco have early stage kidney disease which requires monitoring.)
