Today has been a weird day. It was our last day of day camps, so it was sad, but exciting at the same time because overnight camps start on Sunday. It's my dad's birthday today too! Happy Birthday Dad! :D I love you! I'm sorry it's kind of a sad day too.
I was talking to Dawn, my sister, yesterday and she told me that Nitro, my Rottweiler, was sick and my mom took him to the vet. She doesn't take our animals to the vet's unless they really need it, so I knew it must be kinda serious. After some x-rays they said it looked like a blockage of some sort, so they planned on doing an operation today. It was going to cost a lot. Well, I got a phone call from Dawn again tonight, and apparently during the operation they discovered it wasn't a blockage, it was cancer. He had tumors all over the inside of him, and it didn't look good. So, they put him down. It's really sad because he was my puppy (well, a 6.5 year old, big puppy). It's hard to believe that he won't be there next time I go home. I've been crying a lot, which I don't do very often. It was for the best though...it's better than him being in a ton of pain for the next few weeks. They said he wouldn't have lasted very long. It's weird, because that's the same way Majesta died (that's Nitro's mom...she died a year and a half ago). Oh well...it's easier on everyone not having to worry about taking care of him now....I'm just really sad.
I need to get offline, but I would appreciate all of your prayers as we have a ton of programming to get done this weekend for Sunday and we don't know how all of our games are going to turn out this week. I miss you all.

My puppy is gone...
