Y.R., 60, a retired army Lt. Col. in Leidschendam, Netherlands

Good evening from The Netherlands,

You addressed me on Twitter on my dog account, so I think it’s best to write from his perspective.

I’m a 3 year old Labrador living with a retired bossie (LtCol in the Dutch Army) and a full time working female bossie. For my bossie and me hardly anything changed. We only have a partial lockdown in The Netherlands, so we can still do our daily walkies in the park.
For female bossie it has more consequences. Since March 17 she works from home and can’t go to restaurants.
And….if there were no travel bans, both bossies would have been in The Caribbean for a 2 week holiday right now. But there are worse things in life than a canceled vacation.
