Sinatra: Not many hoomans out this morning.
Me: Not really. A lot of folks are working from home right now.
Sinatra: Wait….. is that what you are doing?
Me: Yep.
Sinatra: Oh….
Me: Why the long face….. lol?
Sinatra: Good one. No, I just thought you might have quit your job to stay home with me, the hooman and the dumb box with the rat.
Me: It’s a computer and mouse, and that is my job.
Sinatra: Oh.
Me: But that would be a good reason.
Sinatra: I sure did smell a whole bunch of something outside.
Me: What’s that?
Sinatra: Fear.
Me: Well, people are afraid of the stuff going on right now.
Sinatra: But you aren’t?
Me: I’m not afraid of it. I do worry a good bit about how the world is changing right now. But I can only do what I can do, and worry and fear don’t help at all.
Sinatra: What if you lose your job?
Me: Then I definitely get to spend more time with you.
Sinatra: But can you still buy animal crackers?
Me: I would find a way.
Sinatra: Lets hope it doesn’t happen though. I like you being here, but not stressed out.
Me: It’s gonna be alright little pup. I believe in humans. We won’t let each other down.
Take care of yourselves folks, and do what you can for your neighbor.
