Once before, I was the retirement home for an old dog and I remember in his late aging he reverted to puppyhood. I’m watching the same thing with Gibson. Aside from a return to puppy-like behavior, the meds that are extending the length of her quality of life are also causing muscle wasting, and she’s gotten thin enough that she looks more and more like the emaciated street pup I adopted than the dog she grew to become.

All I can do is love every day I get to spend with her. ❤️

One of the highlights of the holiday for me is that this girl is asleep next to me to celebrate. She’s responded well to treatment, despite her (inoperable) mast cell cancer metastasizing. She still takes me for walks twice a day, she’s eating like a champ, she never lets me forget our pills now that she gets hers in treats, and she’s been more attached at the hip than usual (which suits me just fine).

We’ve settled into a new normal with Gibson’s mast cell disease. The worst tumor has ebbed enough with treatment that most days she seems almost back to her baseline.

Twice a day she gets a pile of pills, and sometimes I run out of chicken for pill dispensing. The other day I tried a leftover experiment:

Turns out, cooked carrots and delicata squash are ideal pill pockets. She likes the carrot, she LOVES the delicata.

My feed is full of adorables this morning so here is my contribution

Gibson in her “we haven’t taken our pills yet don’t forget mom” stance in the kitchen this morning

She reminds me until I do pills because for her it’s chicky treat time
