You are listening to your new puppies podcast. Starting you and your dog off on the right paw. Here's your

host Debbie Salento. Hello and welcome to a special episode of your new puppies podcast. I'm Debbie and today I just

wanted to check in. I wanted to reach out and see how you are doing because I mean there's nobody out there right now

that's not affected by what's happening and in a way I'm almost taking a little bit of comfort and solace in that that we are all in this.

We might be affected in a different way, but we are all affected.

So including myself I sat in anxiety and stress and worry for a

while which I know most of us did have will probably still do.

But then I realize that I have you.

I have this little corner of the

corner of the internet that I've carved out and my goal is to help dog owners, new puppy owners,

to have a great life with their dog.

So I'm going to continue doing exactly that. And maybe in my own small, somewhat silly way, I can help because our dogs have no idea what's happening.

All they know is that their humans are acting a little bonkers and they're spending a lot more time with me.

And I 100% believe that stress management is just as important as washing our hands right now

because we're all feeling it no matter how we're dealing with it we're still feeling it

and we happen to have four-legged fur-covered stress relievers running around our house.

Like, I mean, how many times have we seen seen heard studies have shown that dogs relieve our stress

you know just by being in the room with us by needing a walk and that gives us exercise which is also another form of stress relief.

So that is exactly what I am going to help you with.

So if you follow me on Facebook and Instagram, you know what I've been doing.

I've been giving you an activity a day to do with your dog.

Because again, we could all use a little extra playtime and maybe you're home and need some entertainment yourself or maybe your kids
