Transcript:
Alice: I want something big for Christmas, but I'm not sure what it should be. Petey: You got a big ugly fountain last year. Alice: Oh, yeah... I forgot all about that thing! Petey: It's out in back behind the grill, full of spiders and wet leaves. It's one more reason I'm scared to go out in the yard.

So that’s why she always plays out front on the sidewalk!
First the Jack-in-the-box, now this. She has an unfortunate habit of asking for presents that scare her – or Petey!

My front yard fountain is also inactive- replaced the pump twice but not available with a low water cut-off, so it burnt out again. If I buy a new pump I will only run in the winter season when I spend time in the front (south) side of my house. I love to read books outdoors when temps are in the high 70s because I don’t need glasses then.
