Ups and Downs.

So ya. I guess there's no way nicely. My dog is dieing. I mean he's old right? 15, which is like 100 human years. But he's lost his mind. He's anxious all the time, confused. He drinks 24/7 and he's still dehydrated because of his bad kidneys. He's getting very skinny, and hardly eats even though he used to be such an active dog. He blind in one eye, impaired in the other. He has bad hearing and balance. He had a dog version of a stroke this year. Recently he's started peeing inside, something he hasn't done in 10 or more years. He can't sleep inside but it's getting to cold outside. He wakes up 5 times every night to come in and out. Every thing that can go wrong is at this point. The vet said we could give him pills to help, but for how long? It's inevitable at this point. So as a family we've decided it would be better for him to be put down. It still makes me sad, but I've accepted it. It's gonna be so weird, we've had my dog Lucky since I was 2. What's it gonna be like without him? Share your stories?
On the lighter side I have a good handle on my two Australia projects. When we go back to school tomorrow I'll still have lots of time to work on them. Are teacher didn't want them to be finished over break. I got a good handle on mine though, so I'm not too worried. I've probably done more than everyone else in class (I sound like a jerk there) but it's true. I'm gonna try to work on them today. We'll see.
Update from last blog, my sea monkeys all died. I killed them all in less than a week. How? I don't know, I did everything properly.. I think. I don't really care. I wasn't to attached to the things. I guess I'll flush em down the toilet. I named some after my affies, soooo sorry about that guys. I accidentally spread a sea monkey plague through your.. colony. Oops. Next time I'll get a gold fish.
