AM- awake at 7:15am (PDT) after a troubled night with my sweet doggo๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
He slipped on the bare floor again, and was scared to move around. So, he was emitting the faintest cry, which of course *only I* could hear (husb is immune and cannot hear it๐Ÿคฏ). I spent no less than 45 mins getting Canoe outside to do *something,* and then trying to get back to sleep afterwards, while he *quietly* licked, afterwards๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ.

AM- awake at 7:30am (PDT) after 9 hours of sleep๐Ÿ›Œ๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿคฉ. Vivid dreaming in the last couple hours, of a scene where I was in a huge warehouse being shown around with our car present (as tho our car was a *person*, being talked to!), and then sat down to finely chop ginger root. I had most of it done, got pulled away to clean a spill, went back to find my pile largely gone and no more whole root available to chop more. I was looking all over for more, AND for what I had chopped๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜‚. All with people I knew โ€œin the dream,โ€ but have no recollection of ever knowing in real lifeโ€ฆ

AM- awake at 7:30am (PDT) after 9 hours of horizontal time, but only 7ish hours of actual sleep๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ›Œ๐Ÿ˜. My poor doggo faintly fussed about getting out of his crate, and out of his bed, wringing his paws over the potential of slipping on the bare floor, again. So, I spent time in the night helping him move around and calm down. We think the early fireworks is contributing to the anxiety โ€œbucket,โ€ and amplifying his worry, even tho he doesnโ€™t visibly register fireworks as an issueโ€ฆ.๐Ÿ˜ญ
