This afternoon, the rain came in fast. Big drops hitting the window like little drum beats. I sat down with my tea, ready to enjoy the sound. Then I noticed Grace had followed me. She didn’t jump on the couch. She just sat next to it, looking out the window like she was trying to understand it all. So I slid down to the floor beside her. And we just watched. The kind of quiet that says: “I’m here. I’m safe. We’re good.” #Pets #Dogs #QuietConnection
