    This thing is infused with politics. Of course small gatherings spread it, but so do all the gatherings related to keeping our economy open. They just don’t want to shut down the economy. In person schools!?! I still can’t believe that is happening.

    DH is not on board with this because he says we will have two years of peeing and chewing on everything.

    Our head of rescue just had a litter of puppies. Only two of them are female and I don’t know which one out of the litter she’ll keep, but it will likely be a female. That leaves only one that would be a possibility for us. People stand in line for her dogs.

    So bottom line it doesn’t look likely that we would get one of these puppies. I’m not gonna go elsewhere for a puppy, it is either hers or none.

    This may this fever may just be a temporary insanity that goes away in a few days.

    I could get a kitten and they are so much fun and so independent. But the thing is I can’t get a kitten because I’m too old. The cat will outlive me. The only cats I can get are adult cats.I just don’t want a litter box for a while longer. I’ve been with out a litter box for six months and it is great.

    Pets add so much to our lives, tho. We have two small dogs that make us laugh every day. One has allergies and costs a fortune, but we would do anything to keep her healthy. Get lots of chew toys, go for lots of potty walks (great time to talk to people outside). It will work out.

    I thought you wanted to travel? More pets will tie you down?

    We only adopted a kitten once. Every other time, we've adopted young adults. That feels better since it is harder for adults to get adopted. We aren't quite noble enough to adopt older cats because then the inevitable heartache comes too soon. We might become more receptive as we get older though for the same reason IL doesn't want to adopt a kitten.

    I was just having this conversation with a friend yesterday. We’re ready to get another cat or two now that we’re settled in our new place. And since we’re not traveling anytime soon it seems like a good time. We don’t especially want kittens so tomorrow we’re doing a zoom meeting with the foster parent of two sisters that are about a year old. The humane society also has an older girl who is about nine. She sounds like she has the perfect personality for us but I literally said the exact same thing about the heartbreak coming too soon.

    My husband just turned on the Cotton Bowl that is in Arlington, TX. The stands are full - no apparent social distancing and no masks visible. So that will be a super spreader and the talk about a surge over a surge may happen. We are all trying so hard to mask, physical distance and then you turn on TV and see this. I just don't get it.

    I believe the Cotton Bowl will be played on Dec 30th this year. Are you sure he isn't watching a past game?

    "Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly and Clemson coach Dabo Sweeney slammed the possibility of playing the College Football Playoff without parents in attendance on Friday, suggesting the Rose Bowl should be moved to another location if it can't accommodate them." I think it is the ACC Championship Game. It seems like a live game. I hope it is an old game, but don't think it is.
