Grace usually follows me. From the kitchen to the mailbox, to the bathroom, to the laundry room ā always a few quiet steps behind. But today, she didnāt. She stayed curled up in the hallway, eyes open but soft. She saw me leave the room and chose not to move. I paused for a second, waited out of habit. She blinked at me, then rested her head back down. No panic. No stress. Just calm. A small thing, maybe, but to me ā it meant she finally feels safe enough to rest. Even when Iām not in sight. #Pets #Dogs #RescueJourney
