Puppies worldwide rejoice! Forced lockdowns, the closure of bars and restaurants, and work from home agreements now mean humans are home all day and night.
This means they now have access to cuddles, belly scratches, and games all day long! Of course, they have no idea why their humans are actually home. The reason isn’t a happy one, but they definitely see the silver lining.
One dog-owner shared a funny story about the Dachshund puppy, Rolo.

He’s so adorable, right?!
Rolo is so happy that his humans are home, he learned the hard way that there’s such a thing as too much joy.

As you know, dogs have several tell-tale ways of letting the world when they feel content.
Everything from perking up, and also wagging their tail.

Just look at Rolo happy to be quarantined at home with his lovely humans!

Unfortunately, Rolo wagged his tail too hard and sprained it!
So my dog has been so happy that everyone is home for quarantine, that his tail has stopped working, so we went to the vet and the vet said ‘he had sprained his tail from excessively wagging it’ 😂😂😭😭💔💔

Thankfully, the injury wasn’t serious and he was able to move it somewhat, but Rolo needed to get some rest.
Didn’t expect this happen😂, for those asking, he is currently on pain relief and the vet said he should be healed within a week, this is him on the 2nd day. He is super happy and there is now movement from side to side but he is struggling to lift it up in the air. pic.twitter.com/dY0o96HOpj

As you can see, he’s still able to walk and run around outside and is recovering quite well.
Thanks for everyone’s concern, im sure he will be back wagging like this in no time 😊 pic.twitter.com/xyt3qR9KjI

Feel better Rolo! It’s nice to know that at least the world’s dogs are having great moments during these tough times.
