Continued from: In+the+Kitchen*Brandi just grinned and nodded in agreement that such a thing would be perfectly obvious as they made their way outside.* Kris followed Brandi outside, happy about the prospect of dogs. And of distracting Brandi for a time.

*Brandi surveyed the open grassy area out back. There would be plenty of space. She smiled and nodded to herself.*
"What do you think?" *She queried Kris without looking at her.*
"It'd be nice to keep the trees if we can work around them."
*There were only a few spotting the area so it shouldn't be too hard. And the shade would be nice.*

"Oh, yeah," she said. "I hate cutting down trees. And they need plenty of room; I'd rather they weren't cooped up any more than necessary."

"Agreed." *Brandi's mind was obviously whirling, thinking things through.*
"Lots of communal space. Maybe just more of an open shelter perhaps? Providing cover from rain and such..."
*She looked like she could almost see it looking out over the grass.*

Kris nodded.
"Yeah. We're not breeding fighting dogs or anything, here."

"Couse not."
More like hunting.
*Brandi smiled and wandered around a bit, looking at things more closely.*
"What would you like to see? You've had more dogs than I have."

Kris laughed.
"But they've all lived inside with us," she said. "Mostly, they need someplace they can run--we don't want them tied up. And shelter, both from sun, rain and cold."

*Brandi nodded, thinking things out.*
"It shouldn't be too bad. We seem to mostly deal with rain here, and that's not too hard..."
*She glanced back at Kris.*
"Where you think we can...pick 'em up? You know...did you have anything in mind?"

Kris bit her lip, thinking.
"Well, I suppose... I mean, most cities have mutts running around all the time. I'm guessing that if we sort of expect to find, say, a litter of pups, it won't be long before we do."

"Suppose that's true enough." *Brandi nodded.*
"Guess we should get to work then. Wouldn't want them to show up too early and have to sleep in the shed."
*She grinned.*

Kris grinned back, hoping at least one of them might get to sleep in her room and keep her company when Brandi was consumed by her own drama. But they would need a place to stay.
"Okay. Well. Paper."
She drew some out, and a pencil, and began sketching the area, trees and all. Then she started to draw a fence around part of the yard, glancing at Brandi for confirmation.

*Brandi smiled, watching her work. It was nice for them both to have this project together. Something distracting and productive. She nodded and pointed to the page.*
"I like this...how many do you think we'll be able to hold? About, of course."

Kris looked up, her eyes refocusing.
"Oh. Um. Well, I don't think I'd want a whole lot--I mean, I don't need a pack of them, unless they really need homes... Four?"

*Brandi considered it briefly, but conceded that she already had a pack of kids, at least for a while. No need to complicate things.*
"That sounds like just the thing."

Kris grinned.
"Okay!"
She scribbled some more, the tip of her tongue briefly escaping her lips in her concentration. Soon, she held up a rough sketch.
"So. Two shelters--enough to give 'em privacy if they want, but big enough if they want to snuggle. We'll keep the trees, and as much grass as we can, though we should be prepared for that to not last too long."
