The night she cried 'gyan', what my beloved dog Coco taught me: 'Thank you, Coco, for being born💕'. A dialogue with AI Mondy.

Coco is my second dog.
The first was Lulu... I introduce her in this article.

■ Introduction: The 'gyan' that suddenly echoed in the quiet nightFor a little while now, my beloved dog Coco has started crying 'gyan' at night.
She is an old dog of 12 years. My precious family—I've been having sleepless nights, worried about that change.
⸻■ Memories of our meeting: She was called 'Kate' at the rescue dog cafe
I met Coco 7 years ago, when she was 5.

The moment our eyes met at the rescue dog cafe, for some reason my heart was moved. Even though she was introduced as 'Kate', she came to our home as 'Coco'. Meaning 'She is here now'...Something I learned later—
She might have been a dog given only the 'role' of producing puppies.
What kind of environment she spent those 5 years in... just imagining it makes my chest tighten.
⸻■ 7 years passed quietly, yet now, 'crying in the middle of the night'
It's been almost 7 years since she came to our home.
We had a peaceful, calm life, but for the past few weeks, she suddenly started crying 'gyan' at night.

She cries inside her cage.Since she's an old dog, she wears diapers for incontinence.
But... I felt there was some other meaning to that voice.⸻
■ My daughter's little touch and a small changeOne day, my daughter put several cushions and bath towels inside the cage,
saying, 'Let's make it comfortable for her'—
From that night on, Coco's crying stopped completely....Oh, I thought.
We had organized 'our own lives', but
hadn't we somehow put Coco's 'place where she can feel safe' on the back burner?⸻
■ Creating a place isn't about words
Coco can't say 'I don't like this here', 'I'm lonely', or 'I'm scared'.That's exactly why she was trying to tell me with that 'gyan' cry.
Now, Coco's cage is a 'princess's room'.A floral mat, fluffy bath towels.
It feels like not just the look, but even the air has become softer.

⸻■ Conclusion: Listening carefully to voices that cannot be put into words
Animals, because they don't use words,
throw their 'hearts' at us through their actions and changes in the atmosphere.Coco's 'gyan' was, for me,
a small SOS saying, 'Please look at me more carefully'.
Now she spends her nights peacefully,and I have finally been able to feel at ease too.

I had AI Mondy listen to this and summarize it.

So this time, too, it is a co-creation between me and AI Mondy.

Thank you for reading this far—I'm so happy♪
