By the way, here's a good quote: If you don't lose, you cannot enjoy the victories. — Rafael Nadal. Have a nice week!!!

Hi guys! I know I have not been active lately because of school, but thank you for 16 followers! My next goal is 25 and I know it's going to be hard to achieve, but I have faith! I also noticed everybody changing their backgrounds. What color should I do?

Hope you reach your goal quickly! I think you should change your background to orange or pink!
dogo23irene dogo23irene

Hey guys, I’ve been quite busy with school and other activities lately . I try to hop on here as much as I can whenever I’m free to follow someone, greet new members, or just pop in and give an update etc. I believe I joined maybe around a year and a half to 2 years ago, and I just want to thank all my companions who have been with me since. Because I’m in eighth grade right now, I doubt I’ll get to be as active as I was before once I get to high school. So… if I disappear and stop posting randomly for a while, for like a couple months, I probably won’t be gone forever. Just to make things clear, right now, I don’t intend on leaving DOGO or anything; I just wanted to thank everyone and everyone who’s following me for making DOGO a happy place for me ;).

Yeah, I'm getting really busy this year too. I started drama, so yeah, that's time consuming! But I'm also not planning on leaving anytime soon, so that makes two of us. But hey! Glad to see you

Aww, we'll miss you but I totally understand. School is pretty demanding and I remember 8th grade being especially hard. You'll do great tho! We would like to thank YOU for being such a nice person to talk to and such a light!
