I just woke up to a certain puppy barking!
He heard some other dogs outside barking and decided to join in.
He felt well enough to participate in dog things!
My heart is happy. ❤️❤️❤️

I had a great time...
I had a great time at my birthday party at the skating rink. Thank you to everyone who came to see me. It meant so much! Super Thank You to Emily and her family for cake and setting everything up! It was so fun skating and seeing everyone! ❤️❤️❤️
I want y'all to see this pup, though. He slept for most of the day and was low-energy, but when I got home with leftover cake he got EXCITED. I have never seen him so waggy, nor have I seen him beg for food or stand on his hind feet. But here he is counter surfing!
I gave him some icing because I'm unsure if red velvet would be ok for him since it contains chocolate. We've tried to get him to eat dog food this evening, going as far as making a dog-food sandwich for him (which he did eat a bit of), but he seems to have a sweet tooth.
Edit: Icing seems to be the sugar that makes the medicine go down. He's spit his pills out of everything else. I bought a pill popper this morning. Grateful to not have to use it!

Obviously there is fluid in his abdomen, but...
Obviously there is fluid in his abdomen, but look at all of the bullets - and these are only the ones that lodged in. This poor baby has been through it.
Busy day. I'll get his GoFundMe up later. I love you all for caring about him. ❤️
I consider myself to be a smart and skeptical person, but...
I consider myself to be a smart and skeptical person, but I'm probably about to sound crazy.
Oreo woke up and stood in the middle of the floor. I kept trying to get him to go outside to potty or get him settled back down, but every time I would tuck him in and get comfy he would get back up.
Finally he got up again and I followed him to the kitchen. Then he did that thing again where he looked me in the eyes, but then chomped his teeth together 3 times. When I said "Are you hungry?" and got his plate, he ran back to the couch (where I served him dinner last) [bad habit, I know] and laid down and watched me chop and warm his food. I brought it to him like I did before and he ate it. Then he got up, drank more water, went outside and peed, and now he's settled back down.
This is a terrible schedule and I don't really want him eating on the furniture, but I feel like getting him to eat is the most important thing at the moment.
He literally has the same thing he just ate from a plate on the couch in a dish next to his water, but it's untouched.
What I'm saying is that:
1) I really believe he is intentionally communicating with me when he does that intense eye contact thing + an action, and doing it pretty well.
and
2) He might literally be starving, but somehow also seems simultaneously spoiled and I don't understand that.
Please help me understand.

I know it's a weird angle, but...
I know it's a weird angle, but Oreo is sleeping so good and I didn't want to disturb him.
When we got home today, he had only picked at his food. I noticed that when Kira was having dinner he was interested in that. She gave him a small piece of roll with mac and cheese on it and he ate it. So I went to the corner store and bought a few different kinds of wet food for him to see if anything would get him interested.
When I got home I made a big production of putting it on a plate, chopping it up, warming it up, and pretending to eat some. He was watching me, so I offered him some. He ate it! I feel so relieved! ❤️
