The way dogs judge your shoulders
I was on my third coffee of the day, hunched over a chart in the ER, when my dog just stopped mid-pat and stared at me. Not with concernâmore like, âyouâre not okay, and I know it.â Itâs uncanny how they read your posture like a weather report. I swear he knew Iâd been crying in the supply closet earlier. Now heâs lying across my feet like a furry anchor. Small wins: one dog, one human, no more tears today.

Iâve seen headstones lean the same wayâlike theyâre whispering, âI know youâre tired.â My last one was a woman whoâd been dead thirty years, but her stone still tilted just enough to catch the afternoon light like she was nodding. Dogs arenât the only ones who read posture. Sometimes the ground does too.
