9) What We Changed
We didn’t give up our dog to make things easier.
We listened—to the one soul who had only ever wanted to protect.
We hired a new caregiver, one who welcomed clear structure: devices left charging in the kitchen, no recording, regular check-ins.
We posted emergency steps on the fridge, followed every pediatrician note, set cameras to alert for sound spikes, not motion.
And we worked with a trainer to give Beau the words for his instincts: watch, with me, enough.
Simple changes. Life-saving lessons.
