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.

How Hackers Gained Access to My Crypto Wallet and Sensitive Data through a Keylogger sent to my device through a phishing email.
I’ll advise others to be wary of the kind of emails they open, as this happened a few weeks ago when a phishing email was sent to my email unknowingly to me that it was a keylogger with the intent of stealing my private information and if not for the intervention of Morphohack Cyber Services, I would have been cleaned out completely. I contacted Morphohack Cyber Services a week after that incident and they detected the keylogger in my computer which has been there for months stealing my private information. If my crypto wallet was not drained, I would not have been aware of the keylogger in my device. Morphohack was able to secure my devices and retrieve my crypto wallet including the crypto assets. Their sophisticated security features and malware can beat any hacking tools available and they are very professional and ethical. Morphohack is a lifesaver and I hugely recommend their services.

Is CBEX a scam? That was going through my mind for weeks when I mistakenly registered in a fake crypto exchange platform CBEX.sx pretending to be the original CBEX, I had already deposited more than a million dollars into my trading account when I realized it was the wrong website. I contacted the original website support but they couldn’t help me. I was deeply disturbed and devastated by this incident. It turned out they had cloned the website of CBEX, unfortunately this means my money is gone. I was scrolling the internet looking for ways to recover lost crypto funds when I came across Morphohack Cyber Service, a crypto recovery company. Morphohack was able to detect that it was a cloned phishing site used to deceive victims and steal crypto funds. I was shocked when Morphohack Cyber told me my funds could be recovered with their sophisticated malware and tools. I provided every information required for the transaction and wallet, and that was how Morphohack was able to recover my crypto funds without any hiccups. I was stunned by how quickly it took, Morphohack is simply the best.
