Well I'm focused on school (nursing) I took 2 classes this summer and got A's. I have fall semester coming up (Tuesday and Thursday night classes). I work in a cardiology office full time, part time as a phlebotomist, I run after work and do a bootcamp gym on Monday nights. I'm starting a hip hop class in a few weeks (Wednesday nights) (I've always wanted to but can never afford it) I enjoy cooking, crafts (Pinterest) and football is coming up too. I do have a lot going on so I am not lazy or depressed by any means. I like to hike in my free time and I really want a dog again as a companion but my veterans dog doesn't get along with other dogs, so I hold off on doing that. For now I'll enjoy my roommates dogs and I borrow a friend's dog to join me when I run. And I also like playing bingo which is what my plans are tomorrow night (and I'm 28 haha).

@joeylittle I'd also like to add, if I've learned anything from all this so far, I've learned to depend on myself and be independent. Not a bad thing and is also a good quality that is admired by others. The world does not stop spinning, and I have my own life to care for too, so all you supporters out there keep that in mind. <3

That all sounds great, @JM318 - you definitely have a full life. :) You might be too busy for this, but you could look into fostering a dog - not the full commitment to ownership, but still gives you a bonding experience, and eliminates a little that sense that you can't do something because you are waiting for your vet...It might not be possible, if you are already living with dogs, but some fosters (at least in my area) are actually looking to place a dog temporarily with a pack, to help with their socialization. And hey, I think there's nothing wrong with bingo :tup:

Good idea I'll keep that in mind. I was actually wanting to reach out to dog shelter in town to see if maybe each day that I run I can take another dog along with me. I reached out to the VA but they close when I get out of work plus my vet goes there and idk how he would react if he saw me there. So I will look into this dog fostering thing! Also I started going to Church in March, and that's helped a lot too :)

I realize therapy is going to bring things out from the surface and I know this is a long road, But I have high hopes that he will get through this.
