So look who came to live at my house this weekend! This is Checkers! She belonged to a breeder in West Virginia, but turned out to have demodectic mange, which is hereditary, meaning she couldn’t be shown. The breeder thought she’d have an awful time finding a home for Checkers as “just” a pet, but it turns out we have a mutual friend who hooked us up.
She’s a 1-year old Treeing Walker Coonhound, and you know how I feel about hounds! I’m in love already.

I work from home, so my dogs haven’t noticed a big difference, but I know for some of you, staying inside has been a
BIG change. How is your dog handling it?

I read that if you remember you’re not “stuck” at home, but rather “safe” at home, it can help with the positive attitude.
Some entertainment for your self-quarantine enjoyment:
Follow William Shatner on Twitter. He is currently in isolation, and is tweeting about his situation and his dogs, Espresso and Macchiato. They are pretty funny.
A sample:
Captain’s Log: Stardate 1 of self imposed isolation. After having arrived at Planet Home, I was warmly greeted by Emissaries Espresso & Macchiato. I look forward to my planned respite from my normal duties. Kirk out.
His handle is @WilliamShatner – look for the blue check mark to make sure you’re getting the real deal.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
