I need some help/suggestions, as the juniper isn't doing so good. It just never seemed to have bounced back from the root prunes. I say prunes because days after I gave it a prune under the supervision of a bonsai enthusiast and conaisseur, my puppy uprooted it and tore up some of the roots. I planted it back the way it was but that must have been a huge shock to it. The top of it keeps browning. I keep trimming the dead stuff it but as of now, I can't confidently say I have seen any new growth as far as foliage goes. It's also a bit on the pale side, not really a strong deep green.

Should I move it out of the sun and into complete shade? It's getting direct sun until 1PM or so as it is located on the east side of the house.
Am I to continue to mist the foliage? I stopped, thinking it was causing more harm than good. I am also watering twice a day and the soil, well draining as it is, is kept moist and never dried. I have 2 gallons of tank water so it will have some good organic nutrients.
