The current pandemic has brought everything to a screeching halt. We’re all trying to figure out how to keep busy while keeping staying put. Many of us are using technology to sta

As we experience this pandemic and its effects, we are spending more time at home. We are spending more time with our loved ones. I’m sure all the doggies out there are very happy to see us more. I’m sure the kitties are annoyed of us intruding on their turf. Birds, turtles and gerbils, I’m pretty sure, are indifferent.
