Day 4

Today was a good day.

I got to walk with Darcy!! She’s my very best friend.

Humans seem to think it’s funny that we’re friends, although I’m not really sure why.
Maybe it’s because Darcy has curly black hair and I have straight blond hair?
Or maybe it’s because I would chase tennis balls all day long if my humans would let me, but Darcy won’t even look at a ball if you throw it…
Or maybe it has something to do with Darcy being twelve years old while I’m just three???
I’m not really sure, all I know is that I love Darcy and I really love getting to go for walks with her.

Since my humans have been home with me this week we have gone on A LOT of walks!! (like I said before I really don’t know why everyone seems so upset these days. I am in heaven!)

Anyway, today was extra special because I hadn’t seen Darcy for awhile. Her leg had been hurting and she hadn’t been able to walk with us like she usually does. But that was ok. Even though I missed Darcy, I was glad she was staying inside and being safe.

It seems like there are a lot of humans right now who need time to heal.

And also lots who need to stay inside so they can stay safe—just like Darcy did.

But now Darcy feels better and can walk with me again!

We walked a little bit slower than usual, but that was ok. I was jus happy to be back with my best friend.

I probably should have written more about my humans and what they are up too—I’m still not quite sure what this log is supposed to be. But my mom said I can take all the time I need to figure it out. She said the most important thing is to just share what’s on my heart. (I’m not really sure what that means, but today it just felt good to write about my friend Darcy!)

What would you write about today?

Always,
Gracie
