Dottie the bunny rabbit moved into town today. Her house is close to my tulip topiary.

I went inside to meet her and she told me she moved here from Berlin. I’m guessing that’s a StreetPass town.

She also said she’s decorating her house with cardboard boxes! What a jokester.

Dotty seems okay, I guess. I just hate when I get my 10th (and final) villager spot filled up by a random move-in. That keeps me from being able to ask someone to move in from a friend’s town or from the campsite.

Speaking of which…on the exact day that I get my 10th villager, now I get a camper! I went inside the tent to see who it was…Ankha! Are you kidding me?!

I’ve always liked Ankha a lot. Not only because of the Egyptian theme, but she’s also my islander in the GameCube version of Animal Crossing. I definitely would have invited her to move in, but of course I can’t now.

Until recently, I’ve had two lucky streaks going for a long time. One was that I didn’t have any new animals move onto my path. That streak ended just last week. The other lucky streak was that I hadn’t missed out on any campers that I really wanted…until today.

At the Dream Suite, Luna told me Laura from Peridot was my most recent dream visitor.

I’ve updated my town page to include Dotty’s arrival and I also updated the map of my town.

Kidd has finally recovered from his sickness, and he was outside walking around again. I spoke with him tonight and he thanked me for the medicine. He also gave me a regal carpet.

I also found Drago outside. He pinged me and I was quite surprised by what he had to say: He said he wanted to move out of town on July 12th! Already??

Even though I don’t like where his house landed, it’s way too soon to get rid of him. Although I soon ran into something else that was also a surprise: a house plot!

This means my town will be full again. Ugh. And who is the new villager going to be? Dotty the bunny.

The only good news is that her house is in a good spot. But I don’t really want her around. All I want is the freedom to ask a camper to move in if I choose, and I never get that option because campers only seem to come when my town is full.

I made my way up to Main Street, where Luna told me Marbel from Hollowe was my most recent dream visitor. And in the Emporium, Yuka looked like she was waiting for us to turn away so she could use the men’s toilet. Uhh, what?

I played the game too late in the day to buy any turnips for this week. Oh well. As I began my walk around town, I saw a piece of furniture on the ground. I have full pockets pretty often, and I sometimes need to drop things to make room…so I didn’t think much of it.

But when I went to go pick it up, it started walking away! That’s right, it was a walking leaf. They seem to fool me exactly once each year, and today was that day. I got my net out and caught it.

I met up wtih Big Top, and he heard that Gala was calling me ham and he wanted to get in on it too. Sure thing, “ham” sounds a lot better than “Sweet J!”

Agent S asked me for some furniture, and I gave her my walking leaf. Oddly enough, she seemed to enjoy it. She rewarded me with a cement mixer. Why a cement mixer? That left my head spinning. But I’m sure it will turn into a solid gift.

In my southwest park, I found Aurora sitting on the yellow bench. She asked me to join her.

So I did. She had fish breath, but I didn’t say anything.

Big Top asked me for a new greeting, so I told him to say “Call me Mr. Hero.”

I hope he doesn’t think that greeting is subpar.

I went to visit Kidd, and he was still sick. Maybe he should hire a nanny to take care of him.

I went up to the Emporium and bought him some medicine for the third day in a row.

In my mailbox, a wild painting appeared! I tried donating it to the museum…it was super effective!
