Greta had set in her mind that she needed a dog, not for loneliness or lack of company because her dad and their house staff--that she pretty much had as her own family, were always there; but because she always wanted a dog and never had the space or time for it. Her life had no room, or plans, for a child and she was starting to accept the idea she might never be a mom since the clock was also ticking for her. Which didn't mean she didn't want to care for someone, and a dog was definitely a better looking perspective into it. And truth was, she was a cook trying to build a career out of it, rather late, so having a dog was a much better alternative for her. Plus, who didn't like puppies.
She researched about places to buy but ended up thinking rather on the adoption route. The shelter had a nice and neat little page online and she remembered passing by it several times when she was a teenager, so why not finally stop by? Of course, methodic as she was, Greta called beforehand, explained her side--maybe even a little too much, and said she'd be stopping by later on.
Shyly, she walked into the reception to greet the man behind the counter. "Hi." She approached with an excited smile, at hearing the dogs barking. "I called earlier... Greta. I wanted to check out the dogs, I'm looking to adopt one."
