It is a strange time. I can not go to school and I can not go out. It was
exciting for a week or two. I could stay at home and play with my dog
and my family. That was 2 months ago. Now we all want to go outside.
I like to see and talk to my family but I do miss school. I miss walking
my dog outside, and I miss playing with my friends. I can talk to them
on the computer but I hope we can go outside soon. I also hope that
