Broccolo told me he was having bad dreams last night. He blamed them on some iced tea he drank. Come on, mouse, you and I both know it wasn’t iced tea in your cup.
The Bug-Off insect-catching competition was held today, so I kept my eyes open for rare bugs while making my rounds. I spotted a rainbow stag, and I knew I had to catch it!
I took it to Nat, the judge of the Bug-Off, and he examined it and said it scored 84 points. That took over the top spot. Nat rewarded me with an exotic chair.
I took a little nap, and then returned to the game after 6:00 when the competition was over. Nobody topped my 84-point rainbow stag, so I was the official winner of the Bug-Off.
Nat said that he’ll send me my prize (the trophy) in the mail. I celebrated my win by popping off a couple of my party poppers that have been sitting there sinceĀ New Year’s Eve.

I found a new house in the southeast section of town. It belongs to Alfonso the alligator, who just moved in today.
Twiggy asked for a new catchphrase, so I gave her one. Twitter peeps be like…
I had an argument with Gladys. I told her ostriches can’t fly, and then she proved me wrong.
When I went in to visit Static, I think I interrupted something. The look on his face says it all.
I left him alone to…tend to his business. Outside, Bunnie asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. I thought it was odd that she was holding an umbrella when it wasn’t raining.
Bunnie gave me ten minutes to find her, Fang, and Twiggy. I found Fang first, hiding behind a tree. He couldn’t believe it; his jaw dropped.
I soon found Bunnie and Twiggy, who were also hiding behind trees. Bunnie couldn’t believe that she lost, since she “invented’ the game. Oh, please. Hide-and-seek has been around a lot longer than you have!
Still, she rewarded me with an ornate rug for winning the game.
Even though it was raining when I first started the game, the rain soon stopped falling. I saw a balloon present floating by, so I grabbed my slingshot and shot it down. It contained a surfboard!
Hiding by my waterfall, I found Saharah the camel! She was in town looking for old carpets.
I couldn’t ask Gladys for carpet, because she was sick with a cold. I bought some medicine for her, just to be nice for a change.
Absolutely none of my villagers had any old carpet for me! I even fished Twiggy’s missing house key out of the river in hopes that she would give me at least one carpet…but no.
