DIRT - The house was fully of dirt from Bailey & Rufus and the toys that they brought in that Grace decided that maybe the dogs could go and live somewhere else...but could she go ahead and do it?

TENSE - The thought was fleeting, brought on by the events of last night - and Grace realised she must be incredibly tense, so she made herself a soothing cup of Melbourne Breakfast tea and called one of the local massage therapy centres to see if she could book a session.

EYES - Rufus and Bailey sensed her tension, and both came over and rested their heads on her lap, looking up at her with worried, loving eyes.

STRANGE - On this beautiful sunny Sunday morning Grace thought she saw something strange looking up at her.......

EXOTIC - As she looked more closely, to her complete astonishment she recognised it as a very rare and exotic chocolate-coloured frog, which shouldn’t be here in Melbourne, Australia, as she had read the online reports about this relatively recently discovered frog native to Suriname; it was sitting on a branch, and Grace’s mind raced with so many conflicting thoughts all at once – Rufus and Bailey mustn’t try to touch it or eat it – this must be an escaped pet – how could it be a legal pet; it couldn’t be legal! – who has had it imported – what on earth should I do – will this frog hop away – should I try to pick it up – no! it’s toxic, isn’t it? – where’s my phone – I’ll call the council – Edward! He can keep the dogs occupied - council first, then Edward – oh, lord, it’s the most absolutely adorable little thing I’ve ever seen! …

CLOSE - Oh, I mustn't get too close, she thought, it might hop away before the council rangers can get here, and yes it's beautiful, but why am I the one who always has to deal with these odd situations?

ENVIRONMENTAL - The amazing cocoa frog continued to gaze at Grace (or so it seemed) as she carefully and quietly phoned the ranger and then Edward, and it was an enormous relief when Edward arrived within minutes to take charge of the dogs; it wasn’t long before the ranger and a frog expert turned up and shook their heads in amazement at the astonishing little frog while securing it, and the expert said, “We thought it might be a joke - but good lord, it is actually the real thing, hypsiboas sp. - and to find it here could have a huge environmental impact, so we’ll be following up to not only return this little fellow to Suriname, but also investigate who smuggled it into Australia”, with the ranger adding, “You did all the right things - thank you!”

(This is what Grace saw…)

LOST - After the excitement of the cocoa frog incident, Grace was glad that the next few days were calmer; she spent much of the weekend looking for a particular dog toy that had got lost inside, with Bailey trying several times to chew her new slippers, which had Rufus charging at him and rolling him over (for Rufus had some thorough experience in the sanctity of Grace’s slippers!).
