The building was finally finished. It took a good season of construction, and quite a bit of land, but it was finally ready to be opened. Having gained some connections throughout the region, Robert was able to bring a great many adoptable pets to the shelter portion of his store. The shelves of the pet store department were filled. The clinic had medications and vaccinations properly stored, the surgery room prepped, and the vet offices ready. The grooming center had all of the tools, dips and grooming products ready to be used. Out behind the main building was a barn where the farm animals were kept and ready to be sold, and at the other side of the field was a three story pet hotel, with the third floor being Robert's living quarters. Everything was ready. All there was left to do was open the doors and greet his first customers and his friends.

Robert opened the doors with Silva bouncing around like it was Christmas. He saw Alisa standing there and smiled to her. "Hello Alisa. Good to see you." Robert spoke as he came out to her. "It was a lot of hard work and a lot of trying to find donations and rescue shelters willing to cooperate, but it's finally done. I've got a volunteer staff right now, but once the business gets into full swing, I'll be able to hire workers." Robert spoke with a smile.

"So, would you like a tour?" Robert asked. Silva was already bouncing around and trying to play with Tibby. "There's certainly plenty to see."

{ Mind if I jump in? 8D }

Genna heard there was a grand opening of a pet store here. Her own shop was popular on waffle island. But now for people who lived here in Forget me not, it may be easy for people to get one instead going all the way to waffle island. She was certainly glad. Now she won't have to help customers with putting cows/sheep/etc onto boats all the way to their farm. she might still have to do that because of Sunshine island....Oh well.

The blonde entered inside and reconized a face as she soon entered. "Alisa! what a surprise to see you here~" She exclaimed letting her eyes wander around the place. "Whhooaa" She muttered in amazement. To whoever the store owner was, she was considering on helping the person. Maybe give some of her weekly shipments of merchandise for once or something. Something like a gift of sorts.

Mittens, Genna's beloved cat, was back home probably sleeping against the window. She was an old cat. But still she was a wonderful cat indeed. Even though back at home, they had tons of animals in her perspective. A cow, few cats, a dog, and two horses. especially with two kids in the house in their early years. But the blonde couldn't help but visit the new store.

(Sure thing ^.^)

Robert smiled to the newcomer who greeted Alisa. "Hello there. Welcome to Goddess Sanctuary." Robert greeted Genna with a smile. She seemed a bit familiar, though he wasn't sure. Perhaps it was at Alisa's sleepover party? Either that, or his mind was playing tricks on him, which wasn't uncommon.

"Anyways, this entrance leads to the pet store section. The entrance one the left leads to the clinic, and the one on the right leads to the adoption center. I have the farm animals out at the barn, and my house as well as the boarding kennels is the one across from the barn. And since it's a no-kill shelter, we take in all of the animals that other shelters are about to put to sleep because they can't find good homes for them. So at least here, we make sure every pet goes to a good home, no matter how long it takes." Robert explained.

[Me too! Me too! 8D]

News had gotten around that a pet store had opened, and Emily came to see it- along with her own pet, Bell. At the moment, Bell was in her arms happily gazing around. Emily saw the store right away, and entered inside. ''Woooww.'' She said in amazement. This place was huge! Even Bell gave a short bark to make a comment. She saw a bit of people there, and decided to introduce herself.

''Hi!'' She said to everyone, while Bell was staring at a cat and a dog, glancing back and forth at the two of them. The girl let her down, and Bell wandered over to the dog first. She happily gave a bark before moving to the cat. Bell didn't do anything but wag her tail, and Emily kept a close eye on her.

Robert waved at the newcomer while Silva continued to playfully wrestle with Tibby. "Hello! Welcome to my store!" Robert spoke in greeting as he waited for Alisa to reply to his offer. "If you have any questions, feel free to ask." he added with a pleasant tone of voice. he couldn't help but keep glancing over at Silva and Tibby. She was approaching a year old, so she'd probably be going into heat once she did. Fall through to winter was the usual mating season for wolves. He'd have to consider getting Silva spayed after she gave birth to her first litter. Wolf pups, while high in demand, were usually demanded by people who knew nothing about how to properly care for them, only wanting them because they were 'cool'. Finding homes for the future pups would be difficult enough. But still, he was thinking a bit too far in advance.

((Hellloooo. Anyone there?))
