Got a call from my parents about a month ago saying he wasn't eating. So I've made several trips back home to spend the day with him, and have gotten him to eat, but not much. He's very skinny and is aenemic. They took him to the vet and ran some tests, but it didn't come back with anything obvious. He is very, very attached to me so I thought it might be depression from me moving away. But he still doesn't want to eat and now during today's visit I haven't been able to get him to eat anything.

He is a very sensitive, dramatic and sometimes manipulative dog though, so despite all my fears he very well could be milking this slightly. He knows exactly how to get my attention, and will pretend to be hurt so I freak out and coddle him to no end because he's my baby and he gets me every time.

Still, I can't help fearing the worst and the anticipatory grief is killing me

And now I have to be completely sober through it all too or I'll lose my fiancee. Add to this that I'm dropping out of college and I just...shit man, I just want to feel alright.

This is the greeting I got from him this morning:

What's going on? ,

He cries like that when I first walk in the door. He misses me a lot and he'll cry like that for a good 5 minutes or so until he realizes I'm staying and he gets to lay with me.

Oh. Well, I used to have a huge alcohol problem, got pancreatitis, and was sober for 4 years. Then shit started going south and finally the thought of losing my dog was enough and I started drinking a bit again, then it was starting to spiral so I've been sober almost 3 days, going through withdrawal. But it put a strain on an already strained relationship and we almost split on our 2 year anniversary. So now I'm cut off from alcohol and the other thing I do for relief (smoke) and as for college, realized it wasn't for me and depression and other mental health issues were making it near impossible to stay on top of classes.
