In her last year, I saved my old dog in spatial videos so a VR headset could later let me feel, even a little, that I was still with her. What I miss most is the smell of her paws, the one thing I couldn't record. A rescue pup lives with me now, and I'd like to keep his while I can.

A reddish-brown dog sleeps on his side, wearing a cream-colored shirt, half under a pale mint duvet with a gray-blue floral print. His eyes are closed and his chin rests on the mattress. His front paws are curled together at the edge of the duvet, and plush toys are piled behind his head.

[1] At the doctor’s office today: a glass door. “Ziehen.” Push or pull? My German still needs a beat to decide. So I do what I always do: nudge the door first, because pushing is the cheaper guess. It doesn’t budge. I pull. It opens.
