Slept well, thankfully, as did the dog, thankfully, which is a routine factor in nightly interruptions. Perhaps it was the "white noise" ambient sounds that contributed to a sustained slumber. For both the dog and myself. Got up, meditated, showered and dressed in an effort to maintain a healthy mindset while working from home and living under 'shelter in place' mandate. Work went well, I managed to stay focused and executed a nbr of critical needs that will potentially result in much needed revenue gains. But the day was interrupted and set on 'spin cycle' mid-day after the still-off-balance dog pooped a modest amount of dark tar-like paste. Although reassured by his relatively upbeat walking demeanor and no indications of pain, that specific situation is indicative of internal bleeding being digested and pooped out. We called a nbr of vets and ended up talking to one that recommended monitoring, probiotics and a stomach soothing agent. Two walks later, no more poop, some appetite but not much… damned thing's walking the fence on behavioral indicators. Also, the day ended with some further work-related and economic-concern-related discussions that I'm not comfortable writing about here. Suffice to say I'm not feeling too optimistic about the horizon. But I'm trying to stay positive about the eventuality that nothing lasts forever, not the dog, not my job, not me. So, we'll just see what the results of this situation brings.
