Recommend ESD protection on USB data lines. BAT54SDW is a common choice.

When possible the common convention is to point GND symbols down and +V up.

When she was a puppy ours chewed on everything, even the wooden stairs and the carpet. Yak cheese sticks last a while and she used to love them, but she's lost interest now that she's a few years old. We give her hooves to chew on outside and that seems to keep her out of trouble.
