Maria nodded and slowly put the dress onto Bailey, smiling a little.

Victor ripped out the last thing and went over to the bags of fertilizer and poured it into the area.. A single speck of dirt got onto the arm and he near panicked as he cleaned it off.

Bailey barked happily

Alaska couldn't help but smile. "Victor, that arm was meant to get dirty, to get used."

" Now you look all pretty! " Maria said, smiling brightly.

Victor looked to her and said in the most serious tone, " But.. It's special. What if I broke it? Then I couldn't give you a full hug anymore.. " His biggest concern.. was giving her a full hug. Though he knew it would make life easier on him, he just was scared to break it.

Bailey barked again, licking one of Maria's hands

"If you break it, then I can fix it," she said simply, struggling a little.

Maria started to pet Bailey with a grin, glad to have the little pup around. She wondered what happened to Lani though, she didn't see her around anymore.

" I know you could fix it, but I don't want to just continue to break it so you have to continue to fix it. I am not saying it isn't sturdy- I am saying I am reckless. "

Bailey licked Maria's hand

"Yes, you are. And I would eventually run out of parts to fix it anyway."

" Do you think Mom is going to let us meet her friends too? "

" Exactly, so I will take extra good of this.. "

Bailey barked again, not quite understanding what Maria was saying

Alaska shook her head. "Well, it can't just do nothing till it rusts."

Maria thought Bailey agreed and just went on with packing, humming a little as well. She was soon finished and very excited about leaving for a little bit.

" I do use it, just not for heavy lifting. "

Bailey started to chase her tail, running in circles

"Working with plants is heavy lifting?"
