Gracie’s Log
Day 7

Today was a pretty boring day. I mean I love having my family home with me. But all they did was sit in front of their bright rectangles and push buttons all day. Boring!
Wouldn’t they rather play with me?? Who cares that it’s raining and cold!

Sometimes I wish my humans had fur….maybe then they wouldn’t worry about getting wet and cold and they could play with me outside more!

Actually, my dad is growing fur!!!
I guess he realized how helpful fur can be!
Ever since my family started staying home all day, my dad’s face has been getting furrier and furrier! I like it! But I don’t think mom does—she makes a funny face when he kisses her.
My fur must be softer than my dad’s cause mom never makes that face when she kisses me!

This morning Mom said it’s starting to feel like the pandemic version of the movie Groundhog Day. I have NO idea what any of those words mean. But my dad laughed and agreed.

I think hog has something to do with bacon and I LOVE bacon!! So maybe she was talking about putting bacon on the ground?? I hope that’s it!

Anyway, not much else to write. Like I said it’s been a kind of boring day.

Oh wait! My dad just said we could go for a walk!! I knew him growing fur was a good idea!

Be safe and remember to wash your paws!!

Always,
Gracie
