Entry #4: A sweet surprise

Hey all! The past month or two have been pretty hard for everyone. Covid-19 is going around and everyone has been forced to stay home. To make things worse for me, my dog recently had to be put down. It has made staying home a lot harder, since he was always in my room with me. We had him since I was in third grade and I am now in college, so I know he lived a long and happy life. My family has all been really down about it. But, to make this corona season a little better my mom surprised us with a new puppy!

His name is Chief and he is a Great Dane. We got him two weeks ago and these pictures were taken yesterday. He's getting so big already! We all know he will never be able to replace the memories we had with our old dog, but its important to stay positive and getting a new puppy helped us do just that. We went to Walmart and got him a bunch of new chew toys, a kennel and huge bed, a collar, harness, leash, and more. He seems to be loving his new home. Taking him on walks has also been the highlight of my day, because I get to get out of the house and be in the nice weather.

There is always a positive side to every situation, its up to us to make the most of things. Getting surprised with a new puppy really helped us look at the brighter side of staying home and losing our dog.
