Puppies!

Yesterday, Gulliver sent me my latest reward in the mail, and it was a good one: A Sphinx! I put it on my beach for now, although this may not be its permanent location.

I think it’s about to pounce on that bird sitting under the tree…

The toy on sale at Nook’s Cranny was a mini circuit (race car track). When I asked about turnip prices, Timmy told me he was buying turnips for 101 bells each. When it gets to be this late in the week, I’ll gladly sell them for a small profit rather than risk losing money. So I sold 1,200 turnips for 121,200 bells.

I didn’t realize at the time that I was neglecting to notice one stack of 100 turnips in a corner of my house! In fact, I didn’t notice until late on Saturday night (when I’m writing this blog entry) that I missed some! So in total, I only made about 3,000 bells profit instead of 13,000. But at least I didn’t lose money, I guess. And maybe I can use the soon-to-be-rotten turnips to catch myself a fly.

Anyway, I straightened up my town a bit and then updated my dream. So the dream version of Forest now includes Candy Cane Lane and the waterfalls (and other changes) at Peach Park. The dream address is 6717-1633-3682 if you’d like to visit.

Later on, I started working on my yard a bit. I took out my pumpkin plants and the fence around my garden. I also moved some flowers around, so that I had blue and black flowers in the area around my house (JVGS colors). 😛

Blue hyacinths and black roses around my house.

I know roses and hyacinths may be an odd combination, but those are the blue and black flowers that I have the most of. As for the empty space where my garden was, I’d like to put in some holiday decorations there…once I find some! It’s disappointing that we don’t get Toy Day decorations at the beginning of the month, like we did for Halloween in October.

C.J. was in town, so I completed his “big-time fish” challenge by catching a dab, a sea bass, and a football fish.

That's 3 big-time fish! Which means...you just completed the challenge! Go tell C.J.!

I had a bunch of fish saved up, so I sold C.J. all of these fish (in three batches): 20 sturgeon, 10 pikes, 5 football fish, 2 barred knifejaws, a red snapper, a koi, and a ray. He paid me a grand total of 375,750 bells. I guess this makes up for my minimal turnip profit. 😛

Later on, Wisp was in town. It took me an unusually long time to find all of his spirits (about 13 minutes), although I was doing a little fishing in between. But when I returned them, Wisp rewarded me with an animal-stripes tee.

OK, so that was all yesterday (Friday). 😛 Today, I found Renee the rhino camping out at the campsite. I had no interest in asking her to stick around.

Renee: Oh! Hope I'm not interrupting you or nothin'.

Nook’s Cranny had a puppy plushie today, and they’re so adorable! They run in place, wag their tails, and move their heads as they (quietly) bark. Breezy and I exchanged puppy colors: She sent me a beige one and I sent her a gray and white one. Thanks, Breezy!

Jeff plays with two puppies?

Midge was finally using the bench near her house, and she asked me to join her!

But after a few seconds, she stood up and started exercising. 😛

K.K. Slider was in town, so I asked him for a random song. He played K.K. Flamenco for me, Bones, and Hornsby.

I went diving to fulfill a Nook Miles+ goal, and my 2nd catch turned out to be my 1st snow crab!

I got a snow crab! It's giving me the cold shoulder.

I took it over to Blathers so it can chill at the museum. Now I only need two more sea creatures! Looks like I may finish that collection before my fish or bug collections.

Tomorrow is HHA judging day. I hope that my two latest villager photos will push my score over the 150k mark. I’ll find out soon enough. See you next time!
