Kind of in shock, processing that Scottie took a bite at Lauren's face while she was kissing him goodnight. There's lots of rationalizations to be made about him having a long day including a ride to/from SF, walking in different neighborhoods, the Marioni's visiting, having different foods, etc… lots of routine's broken. Plus he was clearly exhausted and sleeping when she came to say goodnight to him. He responded with aggression at first pass, seemingly asleep, then again a moment later and that time breaking the skin on her lip. Very very minor, but traumatic for her, and frankly, fuck the dog. I'm devoted to this dog but I'll put him down without hesitation if it means he might otherwise traumatize or injure my daughter. Hell, I might not even wait to do it humanely. I don't fuck with this shit. There is no excuse and zero tolerance from me.



Betides that, Mrs Lincoln…. The rest of the day was great. Looked at 1263 Sabatorie Dr house, went shopping at mall where Tommy got deals for himself, and I ran to south SF to pickup shoes Tommy wanted from a Craigslist seller. Steak dinner w/kids and then Marioni clan for drinks/dessert. Overall awesome day. Just ended on a sour note.




Gratitude: I'm glad the nip by the dog wasn't worse. Really really glad.


Anticipation: Hamilton this Tuesday.
