Meet my three month old pup, Johnny, the newest addition to our family.

He's a mini bull terrier with a big personality, and turns out I am far from alone on this journey of new pop Parenthood.

The pandemic has contributed to a puppy boom of sorts, the likes of which have never been seen before.

Since many of us have been spending so many mawr of our days at home, we have a lot more time to devote to a new pup.

The pet supply company, West Pau, has seen record sales in recent months.

From May through September, they were up 55% from the same period last year.

So in response to the boost in business, the Bozeman, Montana, company has added 18 employees bumping its workforce to about 80 people and to report at age found Google trends.

Search results for puppy adoption hidden all time high in April, and by September they were still 38% higher than the year before, and Petfinder, which is one of the most popular websites for finding rescue dogs, has seen its traffic surged 79% compared to a year ago, according to similar Web.

But while all our puppies, like this guy, are being showered with attention right now, what's gonna happen once we return to schools and offices full time?

All right, Johnny, time to put you back in your create so I can get some work done back to you, Carl.
