Since covid 19 my life has changed drastically . I don’t remember much , but there was time when I used to go out at least for an hour in the morning and the evening. Now it seems like a dream. My friends used to wait for me ,since most of them are strays they don’t have any family , I used to play with them . Now I don’t have any inkling how they have been doing these days. I used to play with the kids in the evening but they too stopped coming in. Their parents are scared for them because they too could catch the virus, it seems to be everywhere and is so tiny you can’t even see it . It is advised not to go out unnecessarily ,we too are taking precautions that’s why I m not going out for more then 20 mins no matter how much I cry or whine , and I cry a lot .

I would not be able to go out if the situation worsens . How cruel can one be towards a beautiful dog? The only solace I could fine is that my family spend most of their time with me. I am unleashed through out the day , in a sense I am more free than before. My pa spend more time with me due to reduced office hours and my brothers united with the family due to this virus and play with me more. They resumed my training session which is often great , and confusing at the same time but it is the best part of the day. Sometimes my brother takes me for a walk to a new area in the evening mostly deserted due to virus , there I could play freely . I met new dogs there , off course strays but I think we could be friends in future. Though it is excruciating not to go out but this wretched situation has given me an opportunity to be with my family . I m happier now and corona isn’t here for forever.
