Day 2
Good morning! I always start my day off with the paper --- I like knowing what's hapening in the world.
What do we have here? A speech by the major... A golf competition... A new park is being opened...
Hey! A cute little puppy is looking for new home!

All you need is love... and a dog.
Help me find a loving human to play with in the garden. I'm very active, extremely smart, and not picky about food, not to mention that I like singing at the moon. You can pick me up at the Bark N' Purr animal shelter.

I barely slept last night because of all that noise in the garden. I'd feel better if we had a dog. Let's call Bark N' Purr!
And we'll finally be able to build a treehouse! Look a baby squirrel!
Call ad...
Hello, is this Bark N' Purr? I'm calling about your ad.
I'm Martha, the shelter owner. Are you looking to adopt a pet, Mr...?
My name's Austin. And I really want to adopt a puppy! I think our garden is a perfect place for a puppy!
Martha: Excellent! Do you think you might want to adopt a cat too? You could even adopt a parrot or turtle in a box.
Austin: Thank you, but all I need is a dog right now. We're going to guard the house together!
Martha: Have you ever considered getting a guard cat? Just imagine how surprised trespassers would be!
Austin: Thanks, Martha, but I'd really appreciate a DOG!
Martha: Okay, okay. I hope the conditions in your garden are appropriate for the dog. I'll check it out personally when I bring you the puppy.
Austin: This just crossed my mind: what if the puppy is bored in our garden? We should definitely put in a flowerbed! The dog can run around and chase butterflies in it.
Martha: We're on our way! Your new friend will be home soon in 5 minutes!
Austin: Oh! I'm so excited!
Martha: He's your dog Austin!
Austin: Hey, where are you going? Martha, how do I call him back? Does he have a name?
Martha: Hmm... there's one problem: I've tried hundreds of names, but he doesn't respond to any of them.
Austin: Barney! Snoopy! Bartholomew! Mister Superdog! He doesn't like my names either... Bro, maybe you can come up with something.
Bro: Hmm.. COVID...
Austin: Covid! Here, Covid!
Covid Dog: Woof! Woof, woof!
Austin: Hey, he came back! He likes his new name!
Martha: He likes the garden too. So do I, by the way. I think I'm leaving him in good hands. Good luck training him!
Austin: Thanks, but we'll start the training tomorrow. Today we're going to give him something delicious to celebrate our first day together! Bro, let's feed our new friend! Well Covid, are you hungry?
Covid Dog: Woof! Woof, woof!
Austin: I think the pup likes these treats. Let's stick to them. Covid will grow big and handsome. I think he's already a bit bigger!
Mailbox:
Austin, you were accepted to the "Faithful Tails" amateur dog-breeder club. We hope you and your dog will be active participants in all our events!
Austin: What a wonderful fragrance! I wouldn't mind chasing butterflies here myself... I'm sure our dog will like to play here. I should make sure he knows the difference between butterflies and bees though. Excellent! It's the first flowerbed in our garden. Ah, I guess deep down I'm a landscaper.
Annie: Hey neighbor!
Austin: Hey, long time no see.
Annie: Things are going so well I'm running short on apples! How's your apple harvest going? Can you help me out?
Austin: Sure! My bro and I will help you. We're having a great year for apples - how many do you need?
Annie: The more, the better! Thank you, I knew I could count on you!
Now that my inner landscaper's awake, he's insisting on planting flowers along the edge of the area... I love the smell. We need to water them.
Austin: John, it's great to see you! I didn't know you were back. Bro, let me introduce you to our famous showman, John Rockit.
John: Heloo, I'm back and I have something for you. I hope you like competitions.
Austin: Who doesn't like them when such amazing prizes are at stake!
John: Welcome to the Leaugues! You're just getting started, but you can become a champion by getting the top spots in competitions and moving to higher leagues. Each league has its own rewards. The higher the league, the more prizes you can win!

Katherine is calling...
Austin: Katherine, hi! I'm glad you called. I read in the paper that you made it into the top five florists in your hometown! Congratulations!
Katherine: Thanks, Austin! And I heard that your Bro and you are real renovations experts, and there's nothing you can't do! So I was wondering if you could help me with something. My mom and I have always dreamt of having a hangout area in our backyard... And we think now's the time to make our dream come true. Which is why I thought I'd come to you.
Austin: Well, you called the right guy. I'm no expert on swimming pools, but I'd love to help! I'll head over as soon as I can.
Few moment...
Austin: Bro, let's help Katherine. You'll like her -- she's so sweet. But her mom... Well, let's just sya they're very different. I might need your help with more than just renovations.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Go to Katherine house...
Mrs. Broom: That's great! I hope you're a real expert, and not just one on paper. We went everything the way we planned it -- here's the sketch.
Show the sketch...
Austin: I've missed talking to you, Mrs. Broom. I promise everything will go according to your plan. The sketch is wonderful. So how about we clear the area and get to work?
Clean it...
Austin: Now that we cleaned up the mess, it's time for some creative renovations!
Mrs. Broom: You mean perfectly planned renovations according to my schedule, of course. To get started, we need to paint the house and decide what kind of plants we want.
Austin: Wow! This is an impressively detailed schedule... You even included time for chitchat -- 17 whole minutes. How generous!
Mrs. Broom: That's for you and Katherine -- you two like talking. She can tell you why we decided to do all of this in the first place. But only after we paint the house and pick out the plants.
Katherine: I've already thought about it. Let's plant a few palm trees and decorate the fence with exotic ivy to create a tropical vibe. Bro, Austin, I'm sorry about my mom. She can be hard to get along with sometimes.
Austin: Sometimes? I mean, don't worry about it, Katherine. We've known each other for years -- there's nothing your mom could do that would surprise me.
Katherine: You think? How about this -- when we were discussing the swimming pool design, I suggested we use mermaid-themed motifs, and she got really upset. She seemed pretty set against the idea -- she said she can't stand mermaids. I'm still curious what that's all about...
Austin: Hmm, that's weird. But I'd be more surprised if she suddenly told us what a great job we did with the pool. Oh, I can barely feel my back! We should have decided where to plant them before we got started.
Katherine: Sorry about that, but somestimes you can only tell in the process. And you made carrying them around look so easy -- that must have been a good workout!
Austin: Oh, well... I don't want to brag, but I actually work out every day. Anyway. The fountain base is next, right? I hope it's heavy enough for another good workout. As for my back... Well, I can't feel it anymore anyway.
Katherine: I'll give you a hand! But let me find a picture of the elephant statue we saw on vacation first. I'd like to decorate the fountain with one.
