67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Katie had always longed for a pet dog, but growing up in a family of diplomats, her parents had to move around the world frequently, so having a pet didn’t fit their lifestyle. Even during her university years, the university’s rules didn’t allow it. It was only after she graduated and started living independently that the opportunity arose.
One day, Katie talked to her housemate and best friend from university, Rachel, about her desire for a pet dog. Rachel suggested, “why don’t you consider fostering a dog? There are so many stray dogs in need of temporary homes before they find their forever families. ”
The idea fascinated Katie as it allowed her to experience the joys of pet ownership without the lifelong commitment. However, she had some concerns, “What if I become too attached?”
Rachel reassured her, “Well, if you form a strong bond, you can always choose to adopt it yourself. ”
Without telling Katie beforehand, Rachel took the initiative and visited a local animal rescue organization to register for a foster dog. One sunny afternoon, when Katie came home from work, she was greeted by a small black-and-white dog. Her eyes lit up with joy and surprise. “Is this for real?”
“Here is Freda, ” Rachel said, beaming with pride. “She’s going to be our foster dog while she waits for her forever home.”
As the days passed, Katie experienced the joys and challenges of being a pet parent. Waking up to Freda’s sweet morning kisses became the best way to start her day. The daily walks with Freda turned into cherished moments of bonding, as they explored the nearby parks and strolled along the serene lakeside together.
However, amid the excitement and cuddles, Katie also learned the responsibilities that came with pet ownership. Juggling her demanding work schedule with Freda’s needs required careful planning and dedication. Katie came to understand why her parents never got one when she was a child. She also felt bad always asking her friends to dog-sit when she was too busy to care for Freda.
