Nearly

My mom always wants to hold the door, so I let her when it seems safe. Doors at Silverado are heavy, and she has to slowly shuffle around them to make it work.

Back inside, when I was putting lotion on her arms and Longshanks was sitting on the floor staring at us intently, trying to bend us to his will, she said, "He's watching you like an old horny stick." I understood that as "hawk" but enjoyed her version better for its creativity.
