We all know pets are great for reducing the physical side effects of stress.
What furry creatures await you after a long and terrible shift?
This is my pup. She's 2. Border collie and lab. If you have an obsession with mopping (excited pee-er), digging things out of a dog's mouth, and just generally never having nice things again, she's the dog for you! I will give her this - when my shift swings, she sleeps when I sleep without any trouble.
And lastly, this sums up my day. My patient who was here on vacation was admitted, found out he had leukemia, and passed away all in the same day. 😥
'Splain to me about this grinding your teeth in cuteness response, thing.
I can't explain it. It's a reflexive type thing that I can't control. Like I can't get out all the affection I have for the object I am loving on so I release the energy by grinding my teeth. My hypothesis, anyway. It's not like a loud gnashing of the teeth. More like a clenching of the jaw.

Mittens got his head stuck in a Walmart bag. He was indignant! Won't be leaving those around any more!
