Check in.......

The first thing Todd said this morning is: 
How on earth
is it June
already?



How is everyone doing out there?    
I have left my  house for very few reasons since mid-March:
1- Vet
2- Dog Food
3- Post office to mail T.P. to Texas 
4- Trip to the garden center 
and.................finally
5- HOME TO SEE MY FAMILY!!!!!
Our daughter  finally finished school and is home safe!! 
So this weekend her and I made the trec home to see the family and attend the Graduation Parade for my niece.....which I think could be one of the great things to come from this. 
It was so fun to hang out at a nice park and let the kids run around instead of stuck in a folding chair in a hot gym. 
Even my dad behaved!!

Now we are home and I am back to my self quarantine.  
I might be taking this a little more seriously than some but  I just have too much to do and also......................I am claustrophobic.
There would be no greater hell for me than not being able to breathe!!!
Also: 
I owe it to my employer who is trusting me to stay healthy and continue to do my job 
I owe it to family to be able to enjoy this time together
I owe it to all the families who just committed to a new puppy to make sure that I stay healthy so I can raise their new Furry Friend the way I said I would!

I wish we could see this enemy that we are all having to hide from.  
I think that it would be so much easier!!!

It has been really difficult to ask our friends and potential puppy families to hold off visiting for now. 
Unfortunately,
this isnt the season in our lives to be able to bend our rules.
I have  had several people ask me to come and visit the farm, to see us and meet the adult dogs. 
​I am so grateful that everyone is understanding and phone calls, our Facebook videos and Social Media posts are speaking for us.   
We are excited so meet everyone,
from a safe distance, at the end of the month!!

​When we were home, my mom held the new baby in the family for the first time, even though she works 2 blocks from her home.  
My Grandma is 97 years old, stuck in her small room in the assisted living home that she lives in and she is so bored....... 
The "littles" know that they have to stay home but not why so they just think that we are being mean......   
Nothing sucks more than wondering if you give your sweet little munchkin a hug if you will be making each other sick!! 

---

Like everything in our lives, 
the Quarantine will soon be part of our past.  
How we help each other through it
How we act toward others,
will be part of our new better selves. 
Truly,   
What doesn't Kill Us
Will make Us Stronger!! 
....just as certainly as your new puppy is going to Chew up your Stuff!!!


​
Peace Out!
