A Dog is for Life, Not Just for Lockdown

Mrs Basil and I were ramping up our search for a dog right when Covid rocked up.

Lockdown put the breaks on the search but now the rescue centres are slowly opening up again.

Lockdown Pastimes

There were shortages of baking consumables, DIY good, exercise equipment, and bicycles as people took up hobbies or ways to pass the time in lockdown.

Now it seems people want dogs.

An employee at one of the centres said they are all very concerned about the surge of interest they are getting in adopting. They are worried that most people are wanting a dog for the temporary situation their lives are in.

They are bracing themselves for an abandonment tsunami.

Here’s hoping they are wrong, sadly, they probably aren’t.
