Highlights: Jen went on a 7+ mile hike with Deann while I spent the day at Jikoji "center-sitting" to cover due to reduced presence (pun intended). A friend of ours dropped off summer squash soup that tasted amazing. Perfect for a rainy afternoon tomorrow. Took Lucky with me to get the car. The salmon Jen added to him dinner didn't sit well. Bastard had a blow out on the walk. I had to call for backup (wipes and such). Bath time upon return. Lesson: don't fuck with his diet.
Insights: Another day, more collaborative processing of Scottie's absence with Jen and friends. Yes it is ironic that I constantly lamented the constraints on us due to having a dog anchor, yet now I lament his absence. Taking my own recent foreshadowing advice about balance has been a sound reminder. I think I know the answer to that question now.
