For the first time ever, Grace walked over to the toy basket... and actually chose something. She sniffed carefully, looked up at me like she was asking for permission, then gently pulled out the floppy giraffe. She didn’t chew it, didn’t toss it around. Just carried it to her bed and laid next to it like it was a friend from long ago. I almost cried. She’s not just existing anymore— she’s choosing things now. #Pets #Dogs #RescueDogRecovery
