Arnold Schwarzenegger Self-Quarantines Himself with his Pet Donkey and Miniature Horse

It’s impossible to not keep up with the news regarding coronavirus and COVID-19. It’s getting more serious each day and we really have to do our part to take it seriously, contain the virus, and prevent spreading it. While the United States may not have as strict of a quarantine happening as Italy, the CDC and the White House have strongly recommended social distancing. Even if you think you don’t have the symptoms, they could take long to show up and you could be carrying and spreading the virus without your knowledge, endangering those who are more vulnerable, such as the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions (like emphysema, asthma, and more).

Actor and former governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenneger is taking COVID-19 seriously and advocating for caution, safe hands, and self-isolation. He posted an adorable video of himself teaching his small dog Cherry how to safely wash your hands.

Now, he’s advocating for social distancing and showing the world how he’s enjoying it:

Schwarzenegger has his miniature horse and pet donkey to keep him company. The adorable video shows him feeding them as they seem to happily enjoy more quality time with him.

At 72 years old, Schwarzenneger is among the group of older adults at risk of more likely contracting the virus and suffering serious complications. However, he’s following the recommendation that he stay home and he’s enjoying vegan food with his animal buddies. What better way to spend this self-isolation?

Be like Schwarzenneger and “Stay the F home,” as his caption suggests (if that is possible for you, of course). Hopefully, you also have precious animal companions to help you feel secure and content.
