Hey guys, I've been gone for almost a month (long enough to make me forget my color code, haha) so I thought I'd let you guys know how I'm doing. Things are actually going better with my dog. I spend a lot more time with him now. I even decided to spoon with him let him sleep on my bed, and he really likes it. When the weather's okay for it we go the park more often than we used to. That isn't the only thing though. A few days before I started to leave, we switched our dog to a raw meat diet, as per my suggestion (You wouldn't believe how much research I had to do to convince my parents). I failed to mention this before, but after my dog got his two tumors removed, we noticed that he had another one but we weren't about to pay for another surgery. And like I said, we can't afford proper chemotherapy for him either. But here's the thing, after a few weeks of his new diet, that tumor began to shrink...and now it's gone. We called the vet and we haven't taken him it yet but he said from what we were describing (he's in really good spirits and health) and that tumor going away, he may be in remission. I don't want to get too excited, but things are looking up. As for school, things were really crazy at first, but I just had my first big round of tests and it seems things have calmed down a little. Anyway this is gonna sound cheesy, but I have missed you guys. And given how things are going I think you can consider me tentatively "back".
