With Rudy and Riley some of our little rituals were after getting my coffee we'd go down our hallway to my office - there's one of those springy doorstops along the way and we'd hit it several times - meaning let's get this day started!
In the early evening, sit on the back deck, Riley in my husband's lap and Rudy with his ball playing fetch across the deck. They would see and bark at squirrels, deer, the neighbor's dogs as needed (lol).
Another ritual was an almost daily ride to nowhere, just around our area to see what we could see - animals, people, all kinds of trucks, et all.
Writing this reminds me that part of what you miss about life with them was all the rituals and routines.

It is interesting to realize how much ritual is part of a day. And what I love is when I miss my ritual with Lukas - things just don’t feel right.
yes it's like being off center or ungrounded!
