Meanwhile, in the rest of the world

 So yesterday I caught you up on the dogs. I should have mentioned Clouseau also. He is still around and kicking. Getting old, I estimate he is probably around 40ish years old by now. But still hanging in there. 

Now, to the humans. Last time I wrote was 2019. Shortly after that we sold the house we were in and moved to our last house in Tempe. It has a big yard and a pool and a spa and is completely awesome. The dogs love it because there is room to roam in the yard, not that concrete patch that we had at the other house. So that's all good. Still some work to do on the house, but we are not in a rush as we are going to be here a while. 

Then, in early 2020, we had only been in our house for 7 months, Covid hit and the world shut down. Literally a world wide pandemic that affected millions and millions of people. Lots of people died from it and it was brutal. I had it in November of 2020 and was really sick for 2 weeks and then it took me another 3 weeks to really recover from it. Then the husband had it in January of 2021 and was in the hospital for 7 days and out of work for 8 weeks. It was bad. We are still, 2 years later, dealing with it. New strains have come up and they travel the world in waves. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. And it really showed the lack of common sense and the sense of entitlement some people have. But I'm not getting into that. This pandemic has really brought out the worst in some humans. 

We were home for basically a  year and the animals loved it. Mavy and I walked a lot. I taught from home and it was kind of awesome. It made me consider getting a remote teaching job, but I also discovered that we all get really lazy when we are home all the time. So we are both back to work at the school and the dogs have adjusted to that again. 

So there you have it, almost 3 years in 2 short blog posts. I am going to alternate blogs every morning, so I will be posting here a couple of times a week. I want to track Mavericks training and all the health issues of the dogs. 

That's it for today.
