A Year Spent Social Distancing Has Made Me a More Empathetic Pet Owner
15 Shares
We all know the story — last spring our lives changed in a way we could have never expected. The upstart of the COVID-19 pandemic influenced many changes. It changed how we live, work, and interact with one another. For some of us, it challenged our sense of safety and financial security, and made us wistful for days when we could hug our family members again or enter a grocery store without fear. But not all of the virus's impacts have been negative. The pandemic taught us to be grateful for our health (when we're fortunate to be in good health) and to value precious moments spent with family members and friends. It's forced us to slow down and appreciate the little things. And for me, it's helped me to become a more empathetic pet owner.
