Thanks Paul, I guess I'm not sure how a generate_series between 0 to 6 would solve this problem. Wouldn't I have to generate a series based on the date range (by day) and then group by DOW _after_ that? Can you give me an example of how I'd do it with a series based on 0 to 6?

This is a pretty common problem with time-series queries when there is sparse data. My go-to solution is to use generate_series---in your case from 0 to 6---then do a left join from there to your actual data.
