Waldo is loving all of the extra time that I spend with him. He doesn't understand why people can't come up and pet him while we are walking though.

I would love too ... I am afraid I would fail as a foster
I would never be able to let a baby go...BUT unfortunately we made the decision to wait a bit until we get another - we are looking for a house to buy ( I am not sure now with all that is going on with the virus) or build if we cant find anything and need to be settled before we do one or the other :( it is so hard though!

Why can't the puppy go?

I own a pet sitting business and customers are not traveling, a lot working from home and others with kids out of school can watch their pets. I haven't worked in 2 weeks. Luckily hubby is considered an essential worker (mechanic) and we own the business so neither of us could collect unemployment since both self employed. I'm grateful for his income! Currently he has enough cars in the shop to continue working for about 6 months but the parts which come from Italy are starting to arrive slower and slower or not at all! Halen's agility classes stopped nearly 3 weeks ago....she is going bonkers and taking me with her. She still goes with me to the bank and any other errand she did previously so that is helpful and we walk daily. The yard is a complete mud pit so I try to limit her time in it but she still ends up in the bathtub daily since she just can't stay out of the standing water muck!

He doesn't understand social distancing. He likes to get lots of love from strangers. If they don't pay attention to him as he approaches, he will go up to them and demand attention. It is shameful.
It is something I love about him, but for now we will avoid that situation.

Hello all! We are doing okay.Trying to stay healthy. I find the hardest thing is wearing a mask out to shop. I just can't get used to it, so I limit how many times I go out a month. Its bad here in New Jersey. Up to 70,000 cases. I love closer to Philly not in the hot spot near New York. My hubby is essential worker so he is busy, thankfully but I worry still. I am retired, I am a crafter but no events to sell at. I do sell online, but that is slow. I am very sad and depressed. I miss having a dog. Lily is gone 6 months now. I don't feel it is a good time to rescue or adopt at this time due to the circumstances of the virus. I would like to once it is safe to do so. Things are different, you can't even to the vet office like we did before. I wish she was here because she was so comforting to me. I know we can foster, but I just don't want to do that. Not sure hubby is ready yet as well. I was doing better mentally then a close Aunt passed in January, she lived a long life at 90. Then this virus hit and I feel so down in the dumps. Ugghh. ... I think the only thing that will get me out of this is getting a dog. I sure hope it is some time this year. One good thing, we managed to squeeze in a vacation early March before all hell broke loose. We visited Clearwater Florida for spring training, took in the games and did some sightseeing. We had a fabulous time! Glad we did because who knows when we can do that again.
Take care, stay safe and well!
