My Covid Baby
It was April 2020, a month and a half into lockdown. I got up and started to get ready for my day, teaching virtually. It had its pros and cons. I loved to be able to teach in my pj bottoms, have extra breaks throughout the day, and start late and end early! It was great. I also got to bond more with my dog, Yuki. She is a little white Maltese mix that I found abandoned 5 years before. As we stretched and got out of bed, I thought we would take a longer walk that day. I remember thinking that I needed more steps than the day before. We had breakfast, and then I got her harness and leash as she jumped around in excitement, ready for her daily walk. I fastened her pink harness around her little potbelly and placed new poop bags in my fanny back and headed out.
