Aww thank you for asking💜. It is 4:45 am here, woke up too early. Ive been more anxious probably because of all the drama with “ the virus”. Im almost 67, personally not worried about getting sick but the socialization restrictions are not fun. Missing my grandkids. Im excited though as Im getting a new puppy tomorrow night. Im 100% confident the pup will keep me busy and distracted so maybe I wont b as obsessed

with the tv news.

How are you?💜

Wow. Getting a puppy is well timed! A bundle of joy when you are lonely and bored and worried is ideal isnt it. I have four little dogs here, they bring me a lot of joy. I would have wanted to get one right now too if I didnt have them already. I dont have grand kids or family to miss, I dont have them at all so its normal for me not to have a family life, Ive spoken to people who live with a whole family who go on about how lonely they are etc but they dont know how lucky they are to have so much company and support each day.

Yes, it is sadder to see people lonely surrounded by people. Im married( soon to b 42 yr) and feel very blessed to have a loving partner to share my life with. I struggle with depression/ anxiety but I think its controlled pretty well. Right now Ive got two elderly chubby pups on my lap while I sip my coffee. We lost our old german shepherd this winter. The new pup is a german shepherd, will probably be my last big dog. It will b interesting to see how the two dogs in charge here accept the new guy. Ive never not had a dog. They bring me much joy.

Totally understand. Enjoy your new baby. I know what you mean about how these will accept the new one, it may take time but it happens. When I had same situation I had to keep them separate for a long time introducing the new one for a few minutes here and there gradually increasing how long for, or put them all in the garden together where they can sniff and run off and play or ignore.

I know people who live on their own and have nobody at all. They struggle most of the time, it must be terrifying for them now. No family, no friends. And in some cases old and struggling with being frail or ill etc.
