Gracie’s Log
Day 8

I love having my family home with me, but they really don’t do too much!

Mostly they just stare at their bright rectangles, push buttons and eat snacks. Although I do like snack time because if I look at them long enough they will usually share with me.

I guess their rectangles (I think mom calls them computers) are really important. But how something is more important than a walk or chasing a ball, I have no idea. Hopefully, they will get tired of those like I sometimes get tired of chewing on a big bone and they will start spending more time playing with me.

I am staying pretty close to my mom these days in case she needs any help with the book I helped her write. Did you know we wrote a book together? I mean technically she wrote it, but I provided her with lots of inspiration and I laid beside her while she wrote it, so I basically wrote it with her. In fact, I wonder why my name isn’t on the cover….I’ll have to talk to someone about that!

Anyway, mom has been getting ready for our book launch (which does not mean the same thing as when a space shuttle or a rocket launches..but that would be SO fun! I bet if they launched books into space more people would read them!)

Mom is a little worried about launching a book right now because so many people are so sad about the pandemic (I think pandemic must mean when your family stays home with you and only leaves the house to hunt for toilet paper).

Our book is all about real life pets (called Pawverb pets) who help people see a glimmer of hope and joy even when things look kind of dark and boring. So I actually think it’s a perfect time to launch our book. I think people need Pawverbs Pets now more than ever!

And maybe our publisher will even consider launching it into space!

Well, mom needs to take my picture again—for the 100th time this week!

Be safe and remember to wash your paws!

Always,
Gracie
