One of the things I have struggled with the most is not being able to see my dog

My mental health has mostly remained stable during the pandemic, although one of the things I have struggled with the most is not being able to see my dog. I now live alone, so my dog still lives with my parents, but I had always lived with pets, and dogs have been especially important sources of support for my mental health. Now that I'm able to form a 'bubble' with my parents household, I can visit my dog whenever I like, and my mental health has improved as a result.
