Pesto got his mouth lasered! The tumor was drastically reduced (yay!), he’s lost some teeth and somehow is even cuter than before. We’ll have to wait and see how quickly the mass grows back. I’m appreciating every moment until it becomes a problem again.

He has recovered from the anesthesia and is a little more mobile than he was yesterday. He’s figured out how to drink water again, and he’s remembered how to eat without having to use his jaw/tumor as a shovel.

Earlier this morning, I heard Ben shout from the kitchen: “He’s drinking water!” I responded appropriately: “YAY!” And then I ran over there to see for myself :)

Suffice it to say that we’re relieved, exhausted, and feel like a big weight has been lifted. Here’s to many more days of enjoying Pesto living his best, most comfortable life.
