What am I saying? I should revise that title. It’s always a good time to have a dog.

It’s been ages since I’ve written a post for this blog, and I feel rotten about it. Again. I think now is the time to jump back in when we’re all sequestered and stuck at home. So I’m tying the two together: my point is that if you are stuck at home, but you have at least one dog, that’s a step in the right direction for your sanity. Currently, I have five dogs. And I used to have five dogs, but some are new, and sadly some have gone, but we’re still at five nonetheless. The magic number.

The kid shown above is Cliffy, a woolly fluff of hair that we adopted, and as usual, now we don’t know how we ever got along without him. How does that happen? Anyway, given the coronavirus pandemic happening now, you’re probably really glad that you have a dog. The companionship, the routine, getting you off the couch and outdoors, all these things are really going to help.

See, dogs do make everything better. See you soon.
