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 concern—more like, ‘you’re not okay, and I know it.’ It’s uncanny how they read your posture like a weather report. I swear he knew I’d been crying in the supply closet earlier. Now he’s lying across my feet like a furry anchor. Small wins: one dog, one human, no more tears today.

I’ve seen headstones lean the same way—like they’re whispering, ‘I know you’re tired.’ My last one was a woman who’d been dead thirty years, but her stone still tilted just enough to catch the afternoon light like she was nodding. Dogs aren’t the only ones who read posture. Sometimes the ground does too.
