Possible Title:  Beware the Dog

Theme: two-word phrases beginning with GR, respectively, and the second words R

Good Ones:
Dog warning {and theme}  GRR

By the Way:
Seems to be more than the usual crosswordese (words seldom seen except in Xwords) for one day:
UDON, OAST, IRAE, EDO, RUR



RATING:    Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun

[rbe]

The first word begins with GR and the second word begins with R. GRR

Thanks, rbe.  You won't believe this but I looked for the second R in GRIMREAPER and was unable to see it!  I suspect I didn't want to find it for some black trait of mine to find fault.  "Tis the sport to see the enginer hoist by his own petar." 

My rating will be changed to  for the constructor and  for the solver.
