The world seemed to hum with a vibrant energy. As Amelia walked out to her porch, she found Buster sitting happily on her patio, tongue lolling out. A gentle warmth spread through her chest. It was as though a weight had been lifted.

She knelt down and scratched the dog behind the ears. "You rascal," she murmured, a genuine smile gracing her face. She found herself actually enjoying this recurring incident.

Instead of calling the neighbor, she took Buster for a walk around the block, breathing deeply and noticing the vibrant hues of the spring flowers. The dog's happy energy seemed to be infectious.
