Gracie’s Log
Day one

[I have been given the task of chronicling my humans’ prolonged time at home with me—sure I have no thumbs or typing skills, but whatever…I was promised a treat at the end of this and that’s really all that matters!]

The humans seem a little tense, but I honestly have no idea why!
Maybe it’s because they can’t find room for all the things they keep bringing home…Or maybe it’s because their hands hurt from being washed so much (I’m just glad they’re not washing me that much!) Or maybe they are tense because the cat keeps sneaking in the house.

Whatever the reason, I am confident I can cheer them up.

After all, they do seem happier when they play with me (and don’t listen to the loud rectangles on the wall or in their hands!)

Maybe that’s it! Maybe I need to start throwing the ball for them to chase! (do you have to have thumbs for that?)
Or maybe I can bring them sticks to chew on.
Or simply look so cute that they pay no attention to the rectangles!

Anyway, I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to record in these logs, but I’ll figure it out as I go.

In the meantime, have fun with your people. Try throwing a ball, chasing a stick (or the cat), turning off the loud rectangles, and running so hard you pant!

And remember we’re in this together—even the cats!

Always,
Gracie
(where’s my treat??)
