Have y’all heard of quaranpups yet? It’s the latest thing. The perfect marriage of all the dogs who need rescuing and all the people suddenly stuck at home, just waiting to train and love and feed and spoil them?
Well…
Wait.
You didn’t quite get that?
I KNOW!
OK, the truth is, she’s our daughter’s pup, not ours. But, hello, quarantine — our daughter suddenly lives with us! She’s been methodically preparing for a dog for a long time — getting landlord pre-approval and what not — and everything fell into place today. I am, for a moment, feeling pretty ok about staying put. We all are.
Oh, anyway. My haiku.
It’s about her — the pup — officially known as Goose Alfafa Rugbaby the First.

growing wild like puppies
and this one is, too
Stay safe and well, friends.
Ohhhh, if ONLY. We can’t have a dog, but that would be the BEST – a reason to get up and get out and get going. A little slobber and love. So. Much. Fun. Lucky you guys!
We have one dog already — and at the moment he’s feeling a bit mixed about the pup, but he’ll come around. There is some real life force is the small wiggly body of a puppy. We need it right now.
