Tough Dog

Rita - the stray from the mean streets of the D.R. (Dominican Republic) - is tough as nails, fierce as a dragon, and scared of slamming doors. When the patio door is open the air flow in the apartment causes doors to slam without warning which causes Rita to find me wherever I am and plant herself at my feet. I imagine she's thinking, "Hey. I, uh, heard a door slam. Thought you might be scared - you know, need some protection. So, I'm going to sit at your feet until you feel better. I mean, like, if that's cool."
