I want to share this awesome drawing that Beth made recently. It features me and all of Forest’s animal villagers. You can click the pic to make it bigger. Thank you very much, Beth!
Beth also posted some close-ups and alternate angles on Twitter:

Yesterday, Aurora sent me a gift in the mail that she was confident I would like. It was… *drum roll* …a bug zapper! Wow. At least she didn’t say I was a bug zapper in a previous life like Bob did last week.
Julian approached me, wanting my pickle. He only offered me 240 bells for it, but I agreed to the dill.
Then Bob asked me to catch a rainbow stag for him. It’s not an easy bug to come by, but I told him I’d find one for him. I figured that would give me an excuse to catch more bugs, and that helps me in two other ways: It earns me some extra money, and it helps add to my bug count (for the insect badge).
It took me quite a while, but I eventually caught the rainbow stag.
When I took it to Bob, he rewarded me with a polka-dot stool. I was kind of hoping for his picture, but it’s probably too soon to realistically expect that yet.
On the bright side, I did earn over 250,000 bells from the bugs (and a few sharks) I caught. That’s over a quarter million bells–not bad for one night’s work.
Then today, Beth had perfect peaches as her premium item at Re-Tail, so she invited me over to sell. I only had 13 perfect peaches left, but they sold for 78,000 bells. Thanks, Beth!
Beth also came over to Forest for a short visit. She picked up my toy hammer and started hitting me with it. But the game was laggy, so I was nowhere near her most of the times my head reacted with the shocked emotion. I wasn’t able to get a picture that showed it as well as I hoped, but this one shows my eyes reacting to a hit even though Beth was facing the opposite direction.
Gulliver was down on the beach, so I used the megaphone to wake him up right away. He was talking about the Cossack dance and matryoshka dolls, so I knew he was headed to Russia. My seagull comrade will be sending me some of those dolls in the mail tomorrow.
My recent dream visitors have been Alison from Paradise and Mayounna from Amy Rose. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you’re enjoying your weekend! 🙂
I bought the pickles, since recycling and being green is good for the environment. But I didn’t stop there: I took the pickle jar to Cyrus and had him customize it for me. That’s right, I’m turning Agent S’s unwanted pickle into a carrot! Orange you glad I’m getting to the root of the problem? Or maybe you just don’t carrot all.
Saharah was also in town tonight, and I paid her for some new wallpaper and carpeting. She put in an industrial wall and a playroom rug. What an odd combination.
When I put some money into my bank account, my balance topped 77 million bells.
Beth told me that Lily was moving out of Acorn soon (although later she got Lily to change her mind).
After giving Squishy a basket of 
By the way, Squishy and Beth share a New Leaf blog called 
Beth came over for a short visit in the evening. When I tried to have a chat with my good buddy Bob, Beth got in the middle of our conversation. Literally.
And then today (August 1st), a message was posted on the bulletin board about the upcoming fireworks. That’s right, fireworks season is almost here. The first fireworks festival of the year is coming up on Sunday.
I found Pashmina sitting on my metal bench, and she told me about a little accident she had. She crossed her legs, her legs fell asleep, and then she peed! Yuck, now I’ll need to hose this thing off before sitting on it.
I made a trip out to the island for some bug-catching (and little fishing too). I netted over 200,000 bells worth of catches. But still, no Phineas. I really don’t know how I haven’t earned the fish or bug badges by now. I try to catch every random bug I see around town each day, and I catch a lot of the fish each day too. Phineas is driving me crazy.
