Self-isolation and quarantining have been a difficult life adjustment for millions of people.
People are coping by growing beards, smoking a ton of weed, and sneaking into jungle safaris.
But has anyone stopped to think about the family pet? What are dogs and cats thinking during the last two months?
I remember reading a satire article about a month ago, and the headline was something like, “family dog doesn’t know why the hell everyone is home so much.”
These last few months have to be confusing as hell to canines. Cats probably don’t give a crap.
Writer Brianna Holt was forced to move back in with her mom during self-isolation. Holt’s mom took a moment to break the news to her dog.
Holt walked in on the discussion, and the dog seems just as confused as the internet as to why a pet needs such a warning that someone else might be walking it and picking up its dumps for the next few weeks.

“I know you’re trying to communicate something,” Holt’s mom begins. “This is Brianna, I never introduced you, this is Brianna, my daughter.”
Ouch. Alright, I guess Brianna doesn’t get home much.
“I know you’re wondering why she’s here so long because we’ve NEVER had a visitor this long.”

Holt’s mom continues, “and we don’t know how long it’s going to be, or when it’s going to be over, or if it’s ever going to be over.”
Wow. Mom is kinda glass half empty, huh?
“So Brianna is going to be here for a while, and we’re going to be sharing our place, our small space…”
Man, it’s obvious which kid mom likes best.
I don’t blame the dog for this reaction. He just found out about a sister.
Give the dog some space.
According to Holt, the relationship with her brother isn’t off to a great start.
