Josie misses the dogs terribly. Julian and she share their memories and emotional support. The whole family is incredibly sad. Piccolo slipped out the backdoor during the drama and quietly passed near the graves of his friends. Julian is so sad without Piccolo, he never said goodbye. He's depressed without his dog friends. To help himself cope, he spends extra time with Teddy, giving him treats and special smooches. Asparagus is stuck to Betsy as usual, or maybe the food is the draw? Josie is having a lot of emotions about the dogs. How much longer will Asparagus and Teddy live? They're old! Julian reassures her that they are both okay. Josie naps restlessly, still concerned for her remaining dogs. Julian sobs under the covers. He misses Maya, Angel, and Piccolo. Being reminded of how old Teddy and Asparagus are is depressing! Betsy is sick every morning, even in the late second trimester. Urgh, her tummy hurts. Asparagus? Are you okay? Julian rushes her to the vet. He'll be okay, he's sure of it. The vet examines him... And treats him! Thank goodness you're healthy, Asparagus! We were so worried! Betsy rushes out to greet them. Her relief is palpable. The worry that kept her awake is replaced by the relief that eases her to sleep. Julian is refining Teddy's fetching skills while the others rest. He's such a quick study! Good boy! What's this? Betsy is cooking herself a meal. Teddy rushes inside to taste test for her. Now that Betsy is cooking on her own, Julian adds a few safety features to the stove. Woot! He achieves level 10 Handiness skill. He recalls the weirdly barricaded cave he found near the park that he couldn't get inside of. Time to investigate! He leaves straight away. Here it is. What could be inside? Julian pries the boards loose to reveal a darkly dank corridor. Curious, he steps inside. Woah! The twists and turns he took open to what appears to be an abandoned mining camp. Past the main entrance is a cavernous expanse. Julian wastes no time inspecting the water and fishing. A gorgeous rainbow fish! Alright! His next catch is a batfish, which completes his 20/20 fish variety requirement, awarding him the Angling Ace aspiration. Enjoy your new home, Rainbow Beauty.

Poor Josie and the rest of the family for being so sad. It's sad about Piccolo, but now he is with his friends. At least they still have Asparagus and Teddy. I'm glad Asparagus is okay. Congrats on reching handiness skill 10! The rainbow fish is so pretty
