Bru was a family dog. They all took care of him and loved on him, and he loved them just as much.
But from the second they brought her home from the hospital, Bru claimed Hayley as his person.
He needed to be as close to her as possible and growled at anyone who dared to get near the baby girl. He’d spend every night standing guard at her bedroom door, valiant in his efforts to keep the monsters away.
When she cried, he was the first to go comfort her with slobbery kisses and warm cuddles. He happily ate the scraps she’d drop on the floor from her high chair for him and could make her laugh with a simple chase of his tail.
So it was no surprise that when Austin went to go check on his napping daughter he found Bru curled up in her tiny toddler bed right next to Hayley; keeping watch as always.
“Hey, there, bud!” Austin whispers, rubbing the dog between his ears. “You watching over our Hayley Ro? Huh?” Bru replies with a muffled bark and a wag of his tail. “Good boy. You’re such a good brother.” Austin leaves the room to let Hayley sleep, knowing she was safe as long as her puppy was around.
When my mother forgets a word, she is the queen of coming up with new words. Words that would take a third National Treasure movie to fully decipher. I was talking to her yesterday, and she said this: “You know the time for los jibbities is coming up. You must be so excited!” Oh, is it time for los jibbities already? I must have missed it on my calendar. Are we celebrating something? “Of course! We should all be celebrating, shouldn’t we?” OK, so los jibbities is a happy thing. It’s not like something is giving you the heebie-jeebies, which would have been my one and only guess. “Los heebie-jeebies? Now you’re making things up...and this is my show.” You’re right. The time for los jibbities is coming up. Is this a season? “Yes, the season for love. The season for pride.” OK, los jibbities. “Yeah, sound it out.” Los…jibbities. LGBTs! “Sí, mira cuz you’re gay!” “You couldn’t just say pride season? You couldn’t just… *laughs*

“What is this?” Ashley asks her girlfriend, her mouth agape.
“What’s what? Danielle asks, head peeking around the shower curtain.
“This!” Ashley waves, as if the problem is completely obvious.
“Care to be more specific?”
“You hang the toilet paper going under!”
“Yeah. So?”
“Under!”
“Baby, it’s not that big a deal!”
“Oh, it is a big deal!” Ashley shouts, mostly for dramatic effect. “What’s next? You tell me you don’t wet your toothbrush before putting toothpaste on it? Or you wear shoes inside the house?”
“Now, you know I don’t do that one,” Dani defends. “Come on, you’re being dumb.”
“What else don’t I know about you? That’s it: we have to break up.”
Danielle laughs as she puts her head under water to rinse out the shampoo. Her girlfriend had a knack for being sarcastic and dramatic, and it truly was showing that morning. “Hold on there! Don’t call it off that fast. Isn’t that what being together is about? Getting to learn about someone?”
“I mean, yeah,” Ashley agrees.
“Well then: you just learned something.”
“But it’s wrong!”
Danielle can hear Ashley’s whine and she appears around the curtain again. “Ay pobrecita!” she says, sticking out her tongue and flicking water on her girlfriend.
“Hey! I taught you that! Don’t use it against me,” Ashley growls, stepping closer to Danielle.
“Too late: already did,” Dani says with a wolfish grin. “Wanna do something about it?”
“Is that a challenge, Castle?” Now they’re nose to nose.
“Only if you accept.”
“Oh, you’re on.” Laughing, Ashley follows her girlfriend into the shower, clothes and all.
