DOG - Grace simply loved  her only dog Rufus that she was deciding if she could afford another one to make Rufus extra happy that he would have a mate to play with.

GORGEOUS - Another dog could indeed be helpful and give Rufus another outlet for his energy, and there was no denying that two dogs would look gorgeous playing together, thought Grace, but with the cost of pet insurance and good quality pet food, was it an expense she could manage?

[nicnacs_4u]

SERIOUS - Gracie felt very serious on getting a pal for Rufus as she had enough money to pay all expenses that owning a dog would be. So where would she begin  looking?

[countessalmirena]

SCREEN - She saw that it was 12:30, so time for lunch, and she should search online for a suitable doggie companion for Rufus; she opened a new browser and checked on the screen for the nearest animal shelters.

NEARBY - Grace found an animal shelter nearby but, on reading online reviews, she decided that another shelter slightly further away sounded much more ethical in their treatment of the rescued animals.

YAPPING - Grace was getting  worried when her neighbour knocked on the door to tell her Rufus was yapping most of the day, could this mean another dog as company or handing her in to an animal shelter?

[countessalmirena]

GRAB - If Rufus was yapping when she wan’t there, he needed something or someone to keep him company, so Grace noted the opening hours of Dogs for Licks and Life, and determined to grab a few hours that afternoon to get there.

BRANCH - Driving upto Dogs for Licks Grace suddenly in the distance saw a huge branch that covered the road. Hitting the brakes she was so lucky to have not hit it! Certainly her lucky day.......

HUDDLED - As she was being escorted around Dogs for Licks and Life, she spotted a small bundle huddled in the corner of one of the spacious yards; approaching carefully and quietly she was greeted with a wary look from the most beautiful brown eyes set in the cute face of a tiny dog of indeterminate breed.
