Comfort for Pavlova

Pavlova fluffed like a meringue that had heard a bang.

Spike wanted to fix her with busy paws. Suzy chose quiet company instead.

Comfort is nearness without a takeover — sit, breathe, let feathers settle.

They stayed a polite step away. Soft voices. No chase. No crowd.

Pavlova pecked once, then again. Fear loosened its grip.

Adventure Cap wanted a speech. Care offered silence that feels safe.

Thinking Cap habit: comfort first, story later. Cap does not magic-erase scare.

Little Thunder became a living windbreak without announcing a parade.

Kids: a pet hides after noise — sit soft nearby; don’t drag them out for photos.

I’m not a quitter, Suzy said — and comfort is how not quitting stays gentle.

Animal care is patience you can see.

Fluff calmed. Company kept. Kind farm.

Quiet near. Feathers settle.
