15 things about my new doggo

New discoveries abound ad we get to know each other.

  1. She loves the sound of squeaker toys, but has no interest in playing with them
  2. She wants any and all food
  3. She loves being under blankets (I need to buy more so we can each have enough)
  4. She hates her winter coat so I bribe her with banana
  5. She has pretty much no interest in her own dog bed (unless she is hiding from me when I'm trying to put her coat on)
  6. Right when we get inside she becomes what I call a 'wiggle baby'
  7. She seems to know her new name (Velma)
  8. She loves sniffing at gum, but actually hasn't tried to eat any
  9. She will always pee in the alley
  10. She has pretty much no interest in or fear of other dogs
  11. She believes herself to be a guard dog
  12. She occasionally tries to get me to pick her up and put her on my bed even though she can hop up all on her own
  13. She whines for food even when I'm putting food in her dish
  14. She seems slightly insulted when I refill her water dish before refilling her food dish
  15. She is my favorite
(Prompt by me)

15 things you'll think about during your dad's latest hospital stay

This is meant to be a related piece to "15 things to do in your dad's hospital room," "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room," and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" .  The Christmas lights at the nurse's station that should really have been switched for saccharine cupids by now What team decided to hang up a clearly labeled DRAFT safety sign Who comes up with the aliases they seem to use for trauma patients and how they decided on Redstone for your dad That his skin either looks like a bruised elephant or like sickeningly conflicting colors of thin paper mache Where you can possibly get food--you're shaky The patient in the ER somewhere with a lot of ammo, but no gun, or so they say Why the staff is being so happily loud and swearing...it feels discordant The used bandaid and gauze that are left on the floor of his ER room as he moves to his hospital room...the last proof he was there Having to do this a...
