When I first found him, I didn't even realize how beautiful he was. He was kind of dishevelled and he was very skinny. He was full grown but he only weighed about 45 pounds. He was somewhere between 1 and 2 years old. He weighs 60 pounds now.

He seems like he is doing fine now. I think the vet misdiagnosed him. I think it was just an acute kidney problem, rather than a chronic one. I'm going to take him back to the vet in a couple of days and they will re-do the tests.

His appetite is great. I'm pretty sure he is fine now, but I won't know for sure until later in the week.

I'm not going to get a dog again until I get married. It's too big of a responsibility having a dog when you live alone.

I wish I was a cat person... they drive me bonkers. I love having a dog because they crave your attention. Most cats don't give a shiat about you. LOL

LOL re: Cannon Shell's remark.

Rupert-

You should consider getting a cat. I grew up with dogs and believed the stereotypes re: cats. True, they don't like strangers much but if they know you or you are their master, they are a lot more similar to dogs than you think. And they are much easier to take care of. Obviously you liked having a pet. You should consider getting a cat.

I've always loved cats. When I was growing up we had a lot of cats because my mom would take in strays.

I think my next pet will be a cat. When you live alone and you live in a building, it's really difficult to have a dog. You have to walk him 3x a day. You need to get someone to house-sit when you leave town. Owning a dog is a huge responsibility, even more so when you live alone and you don't have a yard.

So I think my next pet will be a cat. But I am going to wait for at least a year or two. After having that huge responsibility for the last 13 years, I'm going to take a break and live resposibility-free for a while.

I'm going to take him to VCA this time. I have more faith in their lab than my current vet. VCA has all the best equipment and technology.
