#bones thoughts

Zak, aka Chaos Dog, on the left was my Parents. They adopted him after his previous owners wanted to get rid of him. He was obsessed with babies and knew how to open doors unless you locked them. He was my parents fourth child, and the brother I never asked for but always wanted. He would come and lie with me when he needed a cuddle, and when he wanted to avoid medication. Almost every day he would come up and show me his chew, so proud. I would pretend to try and take it, because that was the game we played and he loved it.

Cody, aka big brown bear, on the right. Cody was my brothers, technically, although I was with him for a significant part of his life. He was my soul dog, he healed a part of me that I thought was forever lost following a dog bite. He was the biggest, most gentle dog I've ever met. He never growled, he never barked, he never bit or lunged. He wanted to be touched at all times, and to love and be loved. We taught him to remove socks off of your foot, and he was so gentle - of course, that just led to a dog who would steal socks from around the house and hide them in his mouth.

When he was a puppy, we would nap together when I got home from school, curled up on the floor together in a ball.

But in season 1 of both, there are SO MANY examples of them caring SO MUCH. You can care and still be an ass. You can still care and miss social cues.

You can care even while you insist you don't care.

If House didn't care he wouldn't have gotten into Vogler's face about the drug trial. If he didn't care he wouldn't have been so against that speech about a drug that isn't any different except a fucking antacid and it costs so much more money than the old one. If he didn't care he wouldn't browbeat people to make the right choice.

Also wild thought but $100 million was not worth how fucked up of a human being Vogler is. House is what's wrong with the health care industry? Maybe what's wrong is treating patients like banks.
