Our pets — Our Unsung Heroes. They save us. They humor us. They know our moods and love us accordingly. Unconditionally. They lick our tears and mourn with us. They simply just don’t live long enough, except forever in our hearts. They have always been the unsung heroes. My dogs have always played this amazing role in my life, COVID or no COVID. But clearly the impact of this virus near and afar has turned our world upside down, through the never-ending stories of sickness and death, joblessness and homelessness, confusion for the future of how we live our lives. It has had a profound affect on all of us. Staying home, away from friends, away from all social interaction except on Zoom, was difficult, but not impossible. I had my ‘girls’ to hold, to cuddle, to play with, to walk and, yes, I talked to them too. They listened. They let me talk through my thoughts and feelings and helped me move on through the days and nights. But mostly they were happy to have me around so much. I couldn’t have gotten through it without their never-ending companionship. All they ask in return is to lay at my feet or on my lap or in my bed. To just be close and know we’re here for each other. That love and comfort is even more immeasurable than ever during this pandemic. So I continue to Let Sleeping Dogs Lie in my bed!
