Dog came along to school drop off. Lost his mind dropping off Lauren, and again with Tommy. Really interesting how he responded. Made me think he might have had prior experience with kids/school drop off.... almost like he wanted to go find his prior family. I spent time while working (lots to juggle) moving from inside/outside and leaving him solo to get him accustomed to being along. Walked him and left him, pee'd and poop'd out, while Matt B and I went w/kids to see Snow Patrol. Sound sucked but performances were powerful. Returned home to find the house unstained! Seemingly, at least. No indication of any accidents. I'll check again in the am but damn... the dog faired really well on his own.
Gratitude: Above... the dog acclimating and being ok solo for 6+ hours.
Goal: Don't break my 10 day focus tomorrow - don't drink. At all. Yeah, I'm taking a great bottle but I want to do this. It's just 10 days. It's not necessary to enjoy dinner.
Anticipation: Another outing tomorrow PM with hopes for another successful leaving of Scottie alone. Should be much less of a stretch of time too.
