The next doctor spotlight: Dr. Covey! Her answers are her introduction...
Her answers to James Lipton Questions:
1. What is your favorite word? Dog
2. What is your least favorite word? Anthropomorphism - attributing human characteristics, emotions, behaviors to non-human animals. Enrages me, that we think humans are the only beings with feelings, and we greatly underestimate the communication abilities, emotions, and capabilities of animals.
3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually, or emotionally? Helping others
4. What turns you off? Crowds
5. What is your favorite curse word? F&*K
6. What sound our noise do you love? The sound of everyone at home sleeping. You know that I have a lot of pets and my elderly mother lives with me. My favorite time of the day tends to be in the late evening when we're gathered as a family and I'm on the couch with a bunch of dogs and the rest of them are hanging out on the floor and my moms asleep in her recliner and all the dogs are asleep. Little snores from certain ones, I'm the only one awake, it's quiet and serene, everyone is safe in our little house. It's not fancy, big, in a great area, but it's ours!
7. What sound or noise do you hate? Fireworks
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Stay at home dog mom
9. What profession would you not like to do? HUMAN medicine
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? Thank goodness you're here! We had to build a special wing at the rainbow bridge to accommodate all your predeceased pet dogs, cats, fosters, patients, and rescues that have been waiting to see you. Your wing is so loud! They go bananas EVERY SINGLE TIME someone knocks on the pearly gates, Lacey and Athena have been bickering for 50 years, CJ jumps up every time someone says "ok," Sawyer refuses to do anything other than float a cloud saying it's his pool raft, and Mia has been meowing "NOW" very loudly for 40 years demanding something called cheezits. Please take care of your own flock now. We're taking a 40 year vacation.
