I didnât expect much when Buddy came over. Heâs a 3-year-old golden from next door. Loud, bouncy, extremely proud of his tennis ball. Grace stayed in the corner at first. Just watching. I sat nearby and didnât say anything. Buddy dropped his ball, stared at Grace, wagged like a maniac, and barked once. She blinked. And thenâshe walked over. Just a few steps. And sat down next to me. Still watching. But closer. They didnât play. Not really. But Buddy lay down, and Grace didnât move away. Thatâs a start. #Pets #Dogs #DogSocializing
