White Dog drew back against my leg as Bella bounded in from the hallway and headed right toward her brother. The room sucked in a collective breath and tensed, ready to pull apart a brother trying VERY hard to learn how to give extra allowances for dementia driven quirkiness and an oblivious sister hellbent on nuzzling against and sharing the comfort of his reactive body.

Without even time for a thought to travel from brain to shoulder Bailey stood and hip-checked Bella to the floor then smoothly moved to stand between them.

Roman relaxed his hackles. "Good BOY, Roman! Thank you for not over-reacting."

Bella, redirected, got to her feet and headed back toward the hallway. "Good Girl, BELLS! Thanks for not triggering your brother."

Bailey completed her circle to make sure all was diffused then settled on her belly. "You are AWESOME, Bai! Thanks for handling that so well!"

And we ALL let out the breath we did not realize we had been holding as we muttered a small "Thanks" to the Rainbow Bridge WDA for once again watching over us.
