Dada’s Note: Dennis has now had a week of mostly solid “deposits” and continues to eat (nay, demand!) his new food, so we are hopeful that he has gotten past his latest IBD flareup. He continues to get around well, generally without showing signs of discomfort, so for now we remain satisfied that he doesn’t know something seriously wrong is brewing in his hip, even though we do. His next oncology followup is in a couple of weeks, and we are monitoring him closely for any signs of progression in the disease. (It’s not an easy job sometimes, being the human …)
