Also planning to start using the Liver Tonic from the vet again, now that her appetite has returned. I had stopped adding things to the food, incase they deterred her from eating.

Spent too much time driving around on errands. The sun grew stronger throughout the day.
Lucy was with me for the errands and so got to see her old friend Joe Laughlin, when we went to the storage locker. She didn't get a lot of playtime at the park, but she got a lot of human contact! She smiled a lot all day.
Generally her body seems stronger and her energy good.
I tempted to be able to soon use the word 'remission'...? (touch wood!)
