Pandemic Puppy: Is a thing
I feel sometimes incredibly guilty because in a time when so many people have suffered, I have been happy. Three weeks ago, Chris and I decided to get a puppy. The decision was thoroughly thought through; ever since my last dog died in 2008, I have been wanting to get another one but the timing was never right. I didn’t want to get a dog in college, nor when I started a job in Washington DC that then took me to the UK. It never felt like the right time until last month.
Chris and I had discussed getting a dog some time later this year when we figured out our new housing situation. However after days turned into weeks in quarantine and we both were working from home, we decided there was no better time than the present. So right on time for Easter Sunday, we decided to drive to Indiana to pick up our Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy. My parents were breeders in the 1990s and I couldn’t imagine owning any other breed other than this one. I want to formally introduce you to Francisco Xavier Da Silva, aka Xico. Named after the Brazilian legend and one of our favorite songs “Xica Da Silva” by Jorge Bem and the cofounder of the society of Jesus, Francis Xavier, this dog has changed my life forever.
How do you make sense of something you have wanted for so long and you finally get?
The feeling I get when I am able to decode puppy’s speak, whether it’s understanding when he needs to go outside or when he needs his chewing toy, feels like a shot of Oxycotin hitting my brain. When I am busy working and I catch him either playing by himself or waiting for me to play with him, I get another shot. When he doesn’t see me for a while or we are outside in the park and he runs towards me with his puppy smile, full tongue out, another shot. When I see my husband carrying our fur-baby, protecting him from other dogs in the park or just taking him out, I am enveloped in this loving cocoon of protection that is almost asphyxiating.
The dog is turning 3 months tomorrow. He is probably more than 9 pounds already, went from being scared of honking cars and going up the stairs to aggressively defending his territory from the evil broomstick, and he is still chewing everything in sight, including shoes, socks, pajama pants and computer chargers. He has gone from sable to red and sleeps through the night in his kennel, wakes up at 8:30am to empty his little body and still has his morning nap after breakfast. He leisurely enjoys his naps and belly-rubs and simultaneous teaches me to be more patient and to not hurry outcomes. Because of him, I am more in touch with nature than ever and every day when I am consumed with guilt or worry about the future, he puts his paw on my lap to remind me that what matters is now.

It’s quite unfortunate how many unlicensed and unregulated crypto investments are being used to steal crypto assets from people who don’t have an idea of how crypto works.
I was once a victim and I’m here to speak out because the pump and dump schemes made me lose $1.2M worth of crypto in November last year, and if I didn’t carry out my research together with the assistance of Morphohack Cyber Service who was able to help me withdraw my crypto after it was frozen in their crypto investment platform, my crypto assets would have been gone forever. Morphohack Cyber Service detected their price was artificially inflated only to have it drop, this is usually done to cheat customers out of their hard-earned money.

God bless Capital Crypto Recover Services for the marvelous work you did in my life, I have learned the hard way that even the most sensible investors can fall victim to scams. When my USD was stolen, for anyone who has fallen victim to one of the bitcoin binary investment scams that are currently ongoing, I felt betrayal and upset. But then I was reading a post on site when I saw a testimony of Wendy Taylor online who recommended that Capital Crypto Recovery has helped her recover scammed funds within 24 hours. after reaching out to this cyber security firm that was able to help me recover my stolen digital assets and bitcoin. I’m genuinely blown away by their amazing service and professionalism. I never imagined I’d be able to get my money back until I complained to Capital Crypto Recovery Services about my difficulties and gave all of the necessary paperwork. I was astounded that it took them 12 hours to reclaim my stolen money back. Without a doubt, my USDT assets were successfully recovered from the scam platform, Thank you so much Sir, I strongly recommend Capital Crypto Recover for any of your bitcoin recovery, digital funds recovery, hacking, and cybersecurity concerns.
