You're doing so good! That poor doggie, I feel bad for him. There are a pack of wild dogs that live near my apartment. I always want to cry when it's raining and they are sitting out there all huddled together...I haven't seen them in about a week though so maybe someone came and got them...
I read about your thyroid problems. I totally sympathize with you. I've had a thyroid disorder since I was little. My thyroid and pituitary gland are all messed up. I actually started puberty at 5! I have to get checked every year. Because of my thyroid, I've always gone up and down with my weight. It really sucks! I don't want to take the meds they offered because there is a risk of heart problems.
Hang in there because you are doing so great!
