In no particular order, here's what life is like for the pets during quarantine. First off is Mary and Andy's dog Tikka, as she appeared online before our family's Easter Zoom chat. Tikka is Mary and Andy's excuse to go for lot of walks. She gets to spend all day with Mary and most days with Andy too. I think Tikka probably likes quarantine.
Allie gets to have Brad home all day, which means she has another place in the house where she can sleep and still be near one of us. But sometimes there's more activity in the house than she's used to, which disrupts nap time. Other than that, quarantine hasn't changed Allie's life very much.
Peaches is a house cat, so she is an expert at quarantine. Peaches sleeps a lot during quarantine. Peaches slept a lot before quarantine. Even with both Peter and Jessa around during the day now, I think Peaches' life in quarantine is pretty similar to her life pre-quarantine, except for one big change .....
Here is Peaches' big change. Peter and Jessa are fostering this cat, whose name I still haven't figured out (I don't think they have either) but it's something like Bilimpy. (That's not it exactly, but close enough.) Anyway, she was living in a hoarding situation with 108 other cats. Peter and Jessa are hoping to get her to where she will be adoptable. Right now she's not socialized so they have instructions on how to do that slowly so as not to stress her out. Last I heard, she and Peaches had not yet been formally introduced.
And finally we have Sirius, who likely has more opportunities for food now that John is home all the time. (Troy still makes beer at the brewery.) On Passover, no shocker, he found the afikoman (matzo)— which is a children's game of find the hidden afikoman, but he gamely agreed to pinch hit for the fact that there were no children to find hidden food. My strong suspicion is that Sirius is happy to have more human time than normal.
