rough night sleep. slept too late. olive didn't wake me. i dreamt i lost lulu in a median park. i stopped to greet a dog and she went ahead to another dog and when i got there she was gone. the group she was with was suddenly farther away across a wide curved road. i wondered why i had seen them so close before. i asked a guy and he said look under the buildings of this complex and we looked but i only saw a couple large critters, one who stared back blankly, then i woke up and put olive on my chest and found a little calm and considered well it's not a prophecy, lulu's coming home in the morning and we'll walk tomorrow like we have all these years, and i tear up thinking she's my only dog now, i have to appreciate and take care and love her every day.
