Well here's something to take your mind off things: a giant (like literally a wolfhound-sized) puppy with no collar crying and barking in my backyard, almost knocking me over with joy when I open the basement door to see if he wants to come inside. Three hours of nonstop ball game (with full body cuddles in between) until I finally figure out where he lives and bring him back to his people. They are a young couple with a new baby and didn't even know he was gone.
