AM- slept poorly, awake a lot in the night, partly due to Canoe pacing and pawing and partly because of prednisone I had taken at dinner. So, woke up at nearly 7am (PDT) when Canoe wanted to join us on the bed. He’s so happy dad is home, he was on dad’s lap as soon as we were up and sitting with coffee😂
