Lisa Gibson+Followhe got jealous of the vacuum cleaner You know that look when your dog thinks someone else is stealing their attention? Yeah. That was Kevin today—with the vacuum. I was cleaning the carpet, not even thinking about him, and suddenly… he jumps right between me and the vacuum and starts barking like it’s a threat to national security. Then he tried to sit on the vacuum. As if to say, “This thing? No. You pet ME.” Honestly, I’m a little afraid to clean now. I’ve created a monster. #Pets #Dogs #JealousKevin873Share
Courtney Casey+Follow🐾 day 136 — she explored the backyard on her ownIt took months. But today, I left the back door open—and she went out. On her own. No coaxing, no treats, no leash. Just a quiet, curious walk into the yard. She sniffed the grass. Watched a bird. Then laid down under the tree and just… stayed. I kept the screen door open and watched her from the kitchen. And my heart stayed right there with her, in the sun. #Pets #Dogs #BraveSteps675Share
Courtney Casey+Follow🐾 day 130 — she stayed in the same room when I vacuumedIt was just background noise for me. I pulled out the vacuum, started cleaning as usual. Then I turned around—and saw her. Not under the table. Not in the other room. She was on the rug, lying down. Her ears were perked, but she didn’t move. She watched me, alert but calm. The last time I vacuumed, she disappeared. Completely. Today, she stayed. It felt like trust in action. Quiet and steady. #Pets #Dogs #LittleProgress1371Share
Lisa Gibson+Followhe got offended by a squirrel Kevin spotted a squirrel in the yard this morning. At first, he was very brave. He puffed out his chest, made one loud bark, and ran halfway across the lawn. Then the squirrel… didn’t move. Kevin froze. Blinked. Took two steps back. And I swear, when the squirrel twitched its tail, Kevin turned around and ran straight back inside like he’d seen a ghost. He’s been sulking under the blanket for an hour. No one talk to him. #Pets #Dogs #DramaKing2270Share
Lisa Gibson+Followhe met a baby and panicked Today Kevin met a human baby for the first time. It was going fine at first—he sniffed, wagged his tail a little… Then the baby sneezed. Loud. Wet. Sudden. Kevin flinched, made a noise I’ve never heard before, and ran to hide behind the dining table like he’d just survived an earthquake. He peeked from behind a chair the rest of the visit. Absolutely traumatized. #Pets #Dogs #SociallyAnxiousKevin230Share
Courtney Casey+Follow🐾 day 127 — she brought me her toyThis evening, while I was reading, I felt a soft thud against my leg. I looked down— and there it was. Her floppy giraffe toy. Grace was standing there, eyes soft, tail low but wagging. She didn’t bark or nudge me. Just... offered. It wasn’t a game. It was something sweeter. I think it was her way of saying, “You’re part of my world now.” And I’ve never been more sure of staying right here with her. #Pets #Dogs #TrustTakesTime2754Share
Courtney Casey+Follow🐾 day 124 — she watched the rain with meThis 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 #QuietConnection1830Share
Lisa Gibson+Followmysterious sock thief strikes again Socks keep disappearing. I’ve checked every corner of the house. Under beds, behind doors, even inside the laundry basket. No luck. Then I caught Kevin sneaking away with a sock hanging from his mouth, looking like he’d just pulled off the biggest heist of the century. Honestly, he might be the cutest criminal ever. #Pets #Dogs #SneakySnacker160Share
Lisa Gibson+Followthe great zoomies session If you’ve never seen a Frenchie do zoomies, you haven’t lived. Kevin went full speed around the living room like a rocket today. He made about five loops, bounced off the walls, and then—just for fun—tried to slide across the hardwood floor. Spoiler: he totally wiped out. But did he care? Nope. He just got right back up and started again. That’s my fearless little guy. #Pets #Dogs #Zoomies231Share
Lisa Gibson+Followthe sofa ninja strikes again You’d think a small Frenchie couldn’t be stealthy. But Kevin? He’s basically a ninja. Yesterday, I was chilling on the sofa when suddenly—poof—my favorite slipper vanished. No trace. No warning. Minutes later, Kevin appears from under the couch, looking way too innocent, slobber dripping from his mouth... and yep, the slipper is his new chew toy. Sneaky little troublemaker.↳ #Pets #Dogs #SneakyKevin132Share
