Juniper Friday! The One Who Watches

Juniper, a dog, glances at the camera in a brief lapse of vigilance at the living room window.

Juniper is mellowing with age, in a way that seems good for her overall anxiety levels. She still keeps attentive watch for any intruders, but she doesn’t get as bent out of shape at random passing card or dogwalkers as she used to. The stability of her routine is as important to this as anything, and her mood is generally better when she has a sense of what’s coming next.
