While most of us are ordered or at least advised to stay home and self-isolate during this pandemic, I think we are allowed to get out for some fresh air and exercise as long as we maintain social distancing. In this regard, how about enjoying a hike with our loyal dog.

Most importantly, stay safe and maintain social distancing to protect yourself and others as well.

Until next time.
