For anyone that's been following Bruno's progress since I brought him to the vet a month or so ago- he appears to be making some improvement. He has doggie dementia (canine cognitive dysfunction) and arthritis, basically old age, he's around 14 and had a pretty rough life before I got him. When I brought him to the vet, he would become easily confused by things that were second nature, like climbing stairs. He would try to start but seemed confused- he would keep giving me looks that seemed to say: "I'm lost in here, please help me." The vet prescribed Anipryl Selegiline. I sent away for some "smart pills," supplemental treats for his memory and they seem to be working- he seems far more alert. I also sent for some joint formulas one with Provinal Omega 7 and Hyaluronic Acid and another with MSM, Glucosamine and Chondroitin. He also seems a little bit perkier! All this set me back about $2000 including the tests... which brings me to the second part (good segue huh???)
When I began on Steemit in late Nov. of 2016, I didn't have two nickels to rub together- literally! Steemit is what has allowed me to take care of my dog, hopefully adding to the longevity and quality of his life. It's also allowed me to help others. My ex wife takes care of our granddaughter and now I can help them out. I give to several organizations here on Steemit, 
My advice for succeeding on Steemit is forget about succeeding on Steemit. Just work hard and create the best content you can... and don't spam people begging for upvotes! You're just cutting your own throat. If you're one of those, do yourself and everyone else a favor- go back to Fakebook, you belong there! For everyone else, thanks for your help... Bruno and I appreciate it!
