Courtney Casey+Follow🐾 day 78 — she didn’t follow me today. and that’s okay.Grace usually follows me. From the kitchen to the mailbox, to the bathroom, to the laundry room — always a few quiet steps behind. But today, she didn’t. 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 — it meant she finally feels safe enough to rest. Even when I’m not in sight. #Pets #Dogs #RescueJourney1436Share
Courtney Casey+Follow🐾 day 90 grace’s visitor momentWe had a visitor today. Grace wasn’t sure what to make of the new person. At first, she slipped behind the sofa, eyes wide but cautious. I watched from a distance, knowing this slow dance of trust takes time. After a while, Grace peeked around the corner, nose twitching as she sniffed the air. She took a tentative step forward, then another, until she was close enough to gently smell the visitor’s hand. The visitor smiled softly, and Grace gave a tiny wag—a small but powerful sign of acceptance. Moments like these make every struggle worth it. She’s learning that home isn’t just me—it’s safe for new friends too. #Pets #Dogs #RescueJourney3373Share
