Saturday morning the East Austin Street Retriever and I headed out into the woods behind the factories right at daybreak, a little after 6 a.m. She’s been pretty down since her companion died, missing meals and moping around. The first couple of days after the event, we walked on the street where we had walked with him the morning of the accident, and she would stop at every spot he had marked. And the days since then have been crazy busy for me, putting in long hours inside the screen. But Thursday’s full moon beckoned, and while it was already waning Saturday morning, it was intensely bright, dropping down in the southern sky below Jupiter and Saturn. When I called Lupe to head to the back gate, she looked instantly revived, and the truth is we both needed it.
