Bubbles

 

Bubbles, my emotional support goldfish, is delighted at news Alaska Airlines is the first carrier to ban emotional support animals.

Bubbles has been terrified some family emergency might force us both on a plane.

He has recurring nightmares about coughs, Covid and the Boeing 737 Max. As do we all.

In a better, less locked-down world, I would seek psychological counseling for Bubbles and his night terrors.

But for the foreseeable future, I am my goldfish's emotional support animal. Banned. Locked down. Home free.

Thank you, Alaska Airlines.
