Come on, girl, let's go for a ride. Oh, I ain't got time for that now. Here, let me lock up.

All right, now, come on. Hi, Mr. Walbur, this is Harold up at the Rexall Pharmacy. I just

wanted to remind you, you forgot to pick up your medications again, so I got them here

at the counter for you.

Good. get your leash come on that's a good boy come on get up in there good girl

Here we go. We're gonna go for a ride.

Alright girl, you just stay in the car now. Gotta get a little fresh air.

Oh

Her name is Mrs. Tupperworth. You gotta be kidding me. I'll tell her. She's quite a

character, too. She's president of the HOA. Your son's that builder I was talking about.

Seems pretty aggressive. I'll have her give you a call. Wait, wait. No input? What?

Henry, I usually like to interview a couple of builders before I give you a recommendation.

We don't have much time here, Jeffrey. I've been sitting on this place for three years.

The economy the way it is, we gotta get things moving now. Okay, so if you're so set on this

guy, why am I here? I've got three other projects right now in three other states. I need someone

I can trust, someone who can handle the details for me. Who better than you? You're my guy.

Someone to cross the T's, the I's, Yeah, that's one way to put it. But I also need you to represent

me at the HOA meetings. New builder's gotta be approved by the residents. it gonna be

a problem? Mrs. Tupperworth assured me whatever direction we go, they'll follow. And she's

sure about that? Doesn't really matter. Developer retains 25 % of the vote. As as it's close,

we're all set. Okay, but is this bill deraputable? Well, uh... doesn't have any judgments against

him. All right. All right, come on. Jeffrey, look. You don't like the guy, you don't like

what he does, throw him out. Find whoever you want. Okay, okay. I have your word you'll

back me? I'm good to go. Absolutely. You wrap this thing up and I might just be ready to

sit down and talk about the details on the hidden oaks development. big things in your future

Jeffrey. Big. Trust me.

What you doing? Getting pieces to my stand. The old lemonade stand. Refreshment stand,

Lemonade stands are for little kids. Sorry. So you're going to put it up again, huh?

Of course, Dad. Duh. You need any help? Nope. I can handle it myself. All right. Just let

me know if you need anything.

So many stray dogs.

So you're the new girl? For like the hundredth time. Well, we saw you moving in. We thought

you looked cute, so we decided to stop by. came by because I'm cute. Actually, we came by

to welcome you to the neighborhood. And because you're cute. I'm Zoe, this is Vanessa, and

that's Lara. I'm Summer. So you live in the neighborhood? Vanessa and I do. Lara lives

down there in the arts district, but we all go to school here. Cool. You'll like it here.

There's lots of fun stuff to do. Like what? Like lay out, and go shopping. And lay out.

So you want to hang out with us tomorrow? Sorry, I'm opening up my refreshment stand

tomorrow. You mean like work? I guess. Like yuck. Hello. Danny Bollinger is standing

outside of the Total Yogurt Shop right now. We have to go. See you later. Bye.

So you're gonna be okay out here, right? Yes, Dad. All right, all right, all right. I'll

be right inside. Okay? I'll be fine. Oh, cell phone. Got your cell phone?

Hello. What's your name? Lanny. Lanny Peters. Well, I'm Summer. Summer Larsa.

What is this? A refreshment stand. It's really cool. Thanks. And the location's perfect.

Number one rule in this business, Lanny, location. You gotta have a great location. What's second

rule? Simple. Once you have a great location, never move.

Sure. No, that'd be fine. No. Yes. I'm expecting her any moment. She wanted to meet. Not exactly

sure why, though. OK. Bye.

Hey, Jessica! How you doing?

So, how did you get them to let you do this? Do what? Have this stand. I don't know.

My dad said I could. He's in charge of the whole neighborhood now. Your dad's in charge

of the whole neighborhood now? Wow. Who would care if I had a stand here anyway? Let's just

say this neighborhood has a lot of rules. Yeah? Whose rules? Uh-oh. Where's customer?

We have lemonade, coffee, soda, and snacks. You have soda? Snacks? Yes, ma'am. As in food?

You sell food from this stand? I certainly hope you have a permit. What is your name,

young lady? It's Summer. Lanny, I was not talking to you.

Her dad's in charge of the neighborhood now. Oh, so you're Jeff Larson's daughter. Yes.

I was just on my way to meet with him. He's in his office. It's over there. His office?

Really? Perhaps you can go and tell your father that I'm here to see him.

So, Lanny, is your mother still working nights? Yes. So she's sleeping now. And your father?

He's on the road. He won't be back till next week. You poor little boy. It must be tough

to have both parents working so hard just to get by.

can only imagine how lonely you must be.

Summer's dad is in charge of the neighborhood now, not you. So she doesn't need a stupid

permit. Miss Tupperware Lady.

Tuberworth? Yes. Jeff Larson. Pleasure to meet you. Where did Lanny go? He just ran

off. Odd little boy. So Summer says you have a concern about a permit for her lemonade stand.

Refreshment stand, I'm sorry. Yes, about the permit. I may be wrong, but I believe

an operation like this might require one. You know what we did check with the city earlier

and they don't require a permit. Well, just tax revenue. Tax? Well, the HOA has very

strict rules. And this is a major thoroughfare. So there are safety concerns. Surely you

can't argue with that, Mr. Larson. Oh, by no means. I do not want to argue, and we want

to follow the rules. As far as HOA, I did read the docs, and I didn't see a conflict. No,

no, no, Mr. Larson. Sounds like you're starting to argue. Listen, Mrs. Tupper... Evelyn,

may call you Evelyn? Of course. It's just Summer and me, and I like to have her close

by. She's an industrious young woman, very proud of her. You know, she's operated this

stand for what, the last what? Two years. Saving up for college. Prep school, Dad. So certainly

a woman in your leadership position can appreciate an entrepreneurial young woman like Summer

who's just trying to reach her goals. I empathize with your situation, Mr. Larson. But rules

are rules. I'm afraid I must insist that Miss Larson close down her stand or move to a more

secure location. I'll you what. Why don't we walk to my office and maybe we can find a solution

for this. We can talk over whatever else we need to. How cool is

is very cool. You know, I used to ride. That's Cole Harrison, nice guy. Stopped by the other

day. I'm familiar with Mr. Harrison. I think there should be permits for people,

to you, neighbor. But I didn't tell you my name. And I don't know who you are. I'm Summer

Larson. I'm sorry, I'm Jessica Riley. Are you okay? You look upset. Oh, no. Um, I

was just cleaning.

Looks like it's gonna rain. We better get inside.

Summer, dinner's ready. Time to come inside.

Annie, what's up buddy?

And you, you must be Jeff's daughter. You're Mr. Harrison? No, call me Cole. This is Mr.

Harrison. Where you going? We've got to move my stand. Why? I you had the best location

up by the office. Somebody doesn't think so. Oh, Tupperware strikes again. How do you

know her name? Know it? I gave it to her.

Can you walk? as well as I used to, but thank goodness I got my son to help me out here.

So where's the new spot? Right over there. There? Wow. Well, there's not a lot of traffic

down here, but, uh, you know, I'll come over and give you some business. Something I'm

gonna call your dad. Let know we're keeping an eye on y'all. He'll like that. Hey, you

got any cookies over there? Dad, you can't eat dead stuff. Come on, Lanny. We've gotta

go. Well, bye, Mr. Cole and Mr. Harrison. See y'all later.

this.

you ready for this? you

That Lenny kid is such a freak. It's Lanny, and he's sweet. You know, you really shouldn't

be seen hanging out with him. It's not good for your reputation. I don't even know if

I'll be here long enough to develop a reputation. But thanks for the advice. So, can I get

a lemonade? Wyatt, it sounds good. And besides, I think it's cool having your own business.

Problem is, it's pretty lame out here. Tell me about it. Well, we're heading back to my

house. If you want, come over later. It's the blue one. Yeah. as long as you're by yourself.

Hello and welcome. It is so good to see so many of our residents here tonight. Now, as

most of you know, I am Mrs. Evelyn Tupperworth. I am the president of the HOA. Now, we have

many topics to discuss tonight. And the first topic, which I'm sure is just in the forefront

of most of your minds, is the new builder for our lovely neighborhood. in a few moments,

I will introduce you to Mr. Jeff Larson, who works very closely with our developer, Mr.

Knox. And he will update us on the progress that we have made toward bringing in a new

builder, who, by the way, is very close to signing a deal with us. Mrs. Jones, you had

a question? Who is this new builder? Why don't we let Mr. Larson address that matter? Any

more questions? No? No? Well then, without any further ado, Mr. Larson. Thank you, Evelyn.

I believe Mr. Harrison had a question.

Thank you. The reason I did not entertain Mr. Harrington's question was that he's not an

actual resident. In fact, I don't even know what he's doing in our neighborhood. OK. First

of all, it's Harrison, not Harrington. And secondly, I've lived in this neighborhood

for over a year now, taking care of my dad, who's unable to take care of himself. You

and I, we've spoken many times. And you know all this, so. Yes, be that as it may, just

because you live here. OK. Please, your question, Mr. It's actually more of a statement. I

know I speak for some of us when I say that we just hope the new builder, whoever they

are, upholds the original concept that the neighborhood was built on. Can you elaborate?

Oh, yeah. Walkways, parks, lights, benches. Originally there were plans to build a playground

for the kids at dog parks. Sorry. Sorry. But as I said earlier, you are not an actual homeowner.

Therefore you will not be allowed to vote. So why don't you just sit down and allow Mr.

Larson to... advise us on the progress that we have made on acquiring a new builder. It

is true. We have interviewed a builder who has submitted a proposal. However, I have

also interviewed several builders who would also like to submit proposals and I will let

you know once I have made a decision. and then we all can vote. So, does anyone have any

questions? So, how'd it go? How is Mrs. Tupperwood? She's a handful. Hey! It's Miss. Is that

for that dog? Miss? A golden retriever, I think. I see you two have met. I'm Jeff Larson,

Summer's dad. I'm Jessica. I didn't see you at the HOA meeting. Oh, no, I didn't make

it. I couldn't. You lived here long? She seems really nice. Yeah, well, um, why don't

you put out some food and water for your friend then? Awesome! Nice meeting you. You too.

get some more cups, Lanny. We just got here. Please just watch the sand. Okay.

It's okay. It's okay. Come here baby girl. Come here. Come here. Come here baby girl.

Come here. Come here. Where have you been? Where have you been? Wanna go see Lani?

Wanna go see Lani? Let's go, let's go, let's go see Lani. Come on, yeah, let's go.

Hey! I didn't know you had a dog. Wait, I think this is the dog I saw the other day.

I want to keep her. Well, I don't see any tags on her, so she's all yours.

So, summer? Yeah. Why did you start this stand? I'm saving up. For what? School.

School? Really? I want to go to boarding school in London. England? It's high school. I've

got a brochure at home I can show you. High school, that's four years. Are you sure you

want to be gone that long? I just want to be in one place for four years.

So how's it going over there?

One nose to feet, we'll see what I can do, alright? Okay. Thank you. Bye.

Sure, Dad. Okay, bye. I've got to go home for a second. Will you watch the stand?

And her. You mean Shadow? Because she follows you everywhere? Perfect.

looking for a red binder that was in a stack of boxes that I told you not to move. Sorry.

I was looking for my pictures and I couldn't find them anywhere. I was gonna put everything

back, but... This is not our house, Summer. You know the drill. We can't just put up pictures

and decorations because we move all the time. Look, I promise you, things will get back

to normal. guess that's not what Mom thought. What?

Did she say that?

Summer.

I'm sorry. I after this project's over, things will be better.

this is the binder.

Thank

So I was wondering, Dad, if I could get a dog. What? A dog? Did you not just hear

the conversation we had? How are we... How are you going to take care of dog? I can do

it. That's too much responsibility. Plus, we never stayed anywhere very long.

Your shadow has left you. What happened? I don't know, she just took off.

Maybe we should call it a day. You want a close-up shot? We're not getting any business back

here.

Wow, that's pretty good. What is it? Summer's newest creation, the pink lemonade. Well,

it's my new favorite. Where's your dog? She hasn't shown up today, and I'm kind of getting

worried. Well, they say dogs have no concept of time, so maybe she's just late. But then

again, we had a dog who would show up at the door every day at 6 o'clock because that's

when my dad got home. So that doesn't really make sense. You're not helping Lanny. Oh,

hey, looks like you got another customer.

So, this is the refreshment stand. What are you doing all the way back here? Two words.

Mrs. Tupperware. Sorry, it's an inside joke. I'm Cole Harrison. You guys haven't met?

And I'm Lanny. Do you know anyone, Jessica? Apparently not. I live right there. Nice

to meet you. She lives next door to me. Actually, you do look a little familiar. Maybe I've

seen you at one of the HOA meetings. I don't think so. Why's that? Because I've never

been. Speaking of which, I was cornered by Mrs. Tupperworth as I was leaving my house.

Look at this.

An emergency HOE meeting tonight. Funny how I didn't get one of these. My dad never met

you at meeting either. Yeah, well, he's going to want to be there. So have him give me a

call. Look, I'm sorry to run, but I got to go check on my dad. It was really nice to

meet you, Jessica.

Got my to-go order. Thanks buddy. Oh, maybe I'll see you tonight.

Well, I think I'm gonna go home too. What? We're closing down shop early again today?

I want to tell my dad about this meeting. And besides, we're not making any money. This

location stinks. Hold on a second. I came here to buy something. Good, because she's

saving up for some fancy boarding school. OK, well here. Then I'll take a lemonade. It's

in England. Make that two.

I'm running to a meeting. Everything okay? What? When? Tonight? Are you sure? Look,

I've got to go. Can you go to the house and get me a couple of things? Got it. Wait, you

said the blue folder, right? Okay. Okay, Dad. Love you too. You sure you want to close

up shop early? The sun's starting to come out and people are gonna want their lemonade.

Lanny, I've got to go help my dad. You stay here. I'll be back.

patrol got her. How do you know that? I saw the van. Yeah, look, that doesn't mean Shadow's

in it. She hasn't shown up today. We have to go there and get her. Summer, I can't. I'm

sorry. I'm in the middle of helping my dad. Dad, just wait, please. I gotta go.

Hey Jessica, it's summer. I can't find Shadow anywhere and I was wondering if you could help

me and I went to your house but you weren't there so if you could give me a call back when

you can. Bye, thanks.

Shadow! Come here! Hey! I missed you! I did! Yeah! I love you too! I can't believe you

found her. We searched the whole neighborhood for her. We found all the shadow trapped between

the carter's shed and their fence. Oh, I'm so worried. Thank you, Cole. I helped too.

Yeah, he did. Thank you, Lanny. Good thing we found her before Miss Tupperware. Don't

worry, I'll protect you.

This is the influx of the economy coming out of your neighborhood, and this is the outflux

going right back into it. So it contains a systematic growth of economic wealth.

Now as you can all see by my illustration here, the residential development and the commercial

development need each other. They go together hand in hand. By building more homes, it entices

the retailer, which causes the sale of more homes. It's as simple as that. Thank you.

That was a wonderful presentation. I must apologize that we are in this room tonight,

but evidently there is a dance at the school. Now, you all know how desperate we have been

for a new builder. Well, fortunately, Johnson Homes has come to our rescue.

excited, our neighborhood will be saved. All we have to do is approve it when we vote. And

we need everybody's vote.

That's it? That's all the details we get? Come on, is this a joke? I mean, what kind

of commercial development are we talking about? One of them wonderful super centers!

Oh, you mean the kind that not only draw tons of people over here, but also the crime and

the traffic that come along with it? Now, don't think of it that way. Think of it this

way. It will bring retail dollars plus lots of potential residents to your neighborhood.

And are you Mr. My name's Billy Ray Johnson, but you can call me Billy Ray.

Okay, Billy Ray. You're gonna be able to ensure that the neighborhood and all the future phases

retain the quality of the original plans. Now, that is complicated. And we haven't worked

out the details yet. But we are working on I think I got it. Oh, I'm sure you do. Now,

if you have no further questions, let's move on.

Actually, I have another question.

Don't you think that this is a conflict of interest?

I don't know what you're talking about. Are you sure? Because I did a little research

on Johnson Homes here, Mrs. Tupperworth. I don't mean to be out of line, but isn't Bubba

here your son? Well, yes. But I don't see what that has to do with anything here. I

am not benefiting from any of this. I am simply trying to save our neighborhood. And you don't

think there's a conflict of interest here? No, I don't. And I am quite offended by your implication.

I have about had it up to here from someone who, number one, is not an actual homeowner

here, and number two, comes to us directly from a rehab facility for drugs. OK, Evelyn,

that is out of line. I'm all through. Not that it's anyone's business. For the record, I worked

at a physical rehab facility, not a drug rehab facility. What's the difference? Please,

Johnson Homes has been approved as a potential home builder. Potential. There are a lot of

other home builders who are in the process of submitting proposals. Have you received any

of these proposals? No, not of yet. Then I move that we accept Johnson Homes as our new builder.

You can't do that. Why? Well, first of all, Johnson Homes has not been hired by the developer.

And second of all, we have to notify the entire neighborhood before we can take a vote. Mr.

Larson, see no reason why the developer wouldn't accept the Johnson Homes proposal. Durall,

is on the approved list, and he is supported by the majority of the homeowners. Oh, unless,

of course, you want to wait for these supposed proposals from these so-called builders. She's

right. We can't wait. We may lose this opportunity. I hate to admit it, but Ms. Tupperworth is

right.

Okay, all right, we will reconvene in two weeks and we'll take a vote. I'll send out notices

to all the residences and information on Johnson Homes. If you have any questions, just contact

me. If there's nothing further and we are finished, meeting is adjourned.

Really looking forward to working with you. We'll set up a meeting to go over all the details.

That'll be interesting. You bet.

I hear you didn't get a flyer for tonight. don't know how that happened. This is going

to be so good for the neighborhood. We'll see.

Ooh. I'm gonna leave you with this stuffed toy so you don't get lonely, okay? He was mine,

but I don't need him anymore.

can't believe this meeting has taken so long. I'm gonna have to leave soon so they don't

get caught. I know. It's certainly nice of Jessica to offer to take you to work with her.

Set up your stand. I'm excited. The area near Main Street is really cool. Well, you be careful.

Call me if you need me. Dad, I saw that dog, the Golden Retriever, again yesterday. Mm-hmm.

She's really sweet. Do you think we could take her in? Summer, we've talked about this before.

Please don't start. But I don't understand why. Yes, you do. you.

Oh my gosh, she is so sweet.

My dad doesn't know.

Can this be our little secret?

for now.

So you ready to go? You know, I think there's gonna be a change in plans.

Wake up and say to you Get dressed to hear the good news Sitting on the front pew prayer

spoken. I slide out the back door and head back home to my poor

eliminate Sunday Me and this guitar Rock it out my way

Kicking back in my old t-shirt, worn out blue jeans with a patch of dirt, there's nothing

quite right. Lemonade Sunday

got the afternoon There's nothing that I can't do I don't really wanna Okay, so this is gonna

be our little secret, For now.

you

T-shirt worn out blue with a patch of dirt. There's nothing quite

heard somebody was a hero and saved a sweet doggy. Where is Shadow and her friends? Can't

believe they closed early on their first day here. They already sold out. Really? Wow.

Well, I was just running some errands for my dad and thought I'd come check out the new

spot. So, uh, this is where you work? Yeah. That's cool. So close to home and all. Hey,

um, can I ask you something?

You're single, No kids?

Would stir crazy yet? I know I am. I'm sorry, I don't understand. You know, the neighborhood.

All those perfect families and all those nosy old ladies. Sorry, but you know it's true.

Anyway, I was just wondering why in the world you'd want to live there. You know, I don't

think that's any of your business. Whoa, relax. Wow, you're wound up, girl. Excuse me? Look,

I'm just saying you need to lighten up. Come on, Jessica. What do you do to let loose?

I don't think I like where this conversation is going, and I don't appreciate the 20 questions.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just trying to be friendly. I mean, so

I didn't understand why, you know, I didn't get why you would- Yeah, you don't know anything

about me, do you?

We did so good today. We got a lot of money. Stay right where you are.

Hey Summer. Hey. So you remember my friend Lanny, right?

This is Shadow.

He is so cute. Hehe.

So your parents aren't going to mind us working down here? They don't really care what I do.

Maybe we could open up a refreshment stand in London.

If you can beat me back there.

Neither would the board if it wasn't what's best for the neighborhood. We only need a

few votes and you wouldn't want to be one of the only ones to prevent us from saving the

neighborhood. No, but I... Well, you're a smart girl. You wouldn't want to see the value of

your home go down. And besides, this may be our only chance. And you don't have a man

to protect you anymore. Look, the kids are here. I need to take them home. So I'll finish

later. I'm going to go get my stuff. Whose dog is that? She's mine. Really? Yes. If she

really is your dog, you'd better make sure that she has her tags and is registered with the

city. Otherwise, animal control might come and take her away.

No, it's okay. I just wanted to come over and say thanks for taking summer today. Hope

it wasn't an inconvenience. Oh, no, not at all. Great. She also mentioned she might want

to do it again, so I just wanted you to know that if she's ever bothered, just let me know

and I'll make an excuse. I have no problem taking with me few days a week. I felt bad that,

you know, she had to move her refreshments stand all way to the back of the neighborhood. And

I'm just, you know, trying to help her with her plan. Plan? to go to boarding school

in England? England? She told you that? Yeah. I mean, it's pretty exciting. I know, it's

four years, that's a long time. Yeah, yeah, she's an independent young woman. Yeah. I'm

sorry if I overstep my boundaries or... No, no, no, it's just... Mrs. Larson doesn't want

her to, you know... Oh, you're still married? No, divorced. I mean, we have a great relationship.

It's just she didn't want Summer to move. And Summer doesn't know that, so... saying anything.

Sure. Well, I'll leave you to whatever you were doing. Yeah, eating ice cream and watching

a show where they're trying to find Bigfoot. The one with the guy that looks like Bigfoot.

I know, it's ridiculous. I love that show. You do, you watch that show. can't believe

you watch that show. I am a bit of a goofball. So, I'll keep your secret, you keep mine.

Okay, great. Yeah. Okay, see you soon. Thanks. So when are you leaving to go to your office?

I'm not, I'm waiting on the maintenance guy to come check the sprinkler. Think sir might

be a problem with the box in the garage. The garage? Yeah.

Be right back.

Hey, there you are. So what happened with the sprinkler guys? You'll be here in about 30

minutes.

So how long do you think it's gonna take? Five minutes less than the last time you asked?

Why? Just asking.

Hey, great. How are you? She is standing right here. I'll let you talk to her.

inside.

Hey, Mom. Yeah, I miss you too.

Tell us, Hello, ma'am. You know who I am. I do. Here's your paperwork. I'm sure I can

count on your vote. I'm sure.

Animal control? I'd like to report a stray dog.

Hey Adam, how are you? I think we have a problem with the sprinkler system, so if you don't

mind coming in there.

Yeah, I'll be right back!

Huh. Okay, so if I move the control over here.

What are you sure you saw them take her? That dog you've been talking I don't know what

to say, Summer. You don't tell me you're keeping a dog here. You're sneaking around. I tell

you you can't have her. What else are you keeping from me? Shannon was a good dog. She deserves

the home. That's not the point. I feel like I can't trust you anymore. She belonged to

somebody else, and they left her. You want me to abandon her too? I can't do that, We don't

even know if the dog's safe. I'm sorry. I feel responsible for this. I told Summer that I

would take Shadow to the vet to get her checked out. I just, couldn't get in right away. Why

don't I take Summer to animal control to get her? We for sure don't want her to be there.

And then I can take her to the vet, and that'll give us some time to sort everything out. Please,

let me.

Okay.

I won't keep anything from you again. But please think about Shadow. I'll think about it.

Excuse me, I'm looking for a female golden retriever. got picked up just a little while ago. She's

like 50 some pounds. She's really sweet. Really fluffy? Uh, yeah, no, think I know exactly

who you're talking about. Hang on one second, I'll find her for you.

Yeah, hey Ted? Yeah, do you remember that golden retriever we picked up earlier? You do? Great.

Oh. Oh, you did? Oh. Okay. Um, great. Will you bring her up anyway? Thanks. She's

okay, right? She's fine, um, but there was some confusion. They thought she was going to adoption,

so they already started running some tests. Um, we won't charge you for that, but if you

want your dog back, you will have to get her registered and get her a license. Here's the

forms for that. So between the license, the registration, the microchip, and the vaccinations,

it's going to be $198. OK. I'll pay you back. Oh, no. Don't worry about it. But Shadow's

my dog. I know. I'll put your and your father's information on the form, OK?

This is your new home, Shadow. I know my dad's

You play ball? You wanna play ball? Play that? Ready?

just spoke to animal control. They say shadow tested positive for heartworms.

does that mean? I mean, she's very sick,

this happen? Dogs get heart warms when they get bitten by an infected mosquito. So we'll

just give her medicine. Yeah, but... It's not that simple. They say she's in advanced stages.

It's just difficult.

She may not make it.

It's not impossible. No.

It takes months, She has to be quiet. She can't exercise. You know how tough that is? I can't

just give up.

just, don't have the time or the ability right now.

I can't put this burden on you, sweetheart.

Okay, I'll do it. can stay with me. I'll take care of her and oversee your treatment and

you can help. Thank you. I don't know how I can repay you. I already have.

Now, it's not gonna be easy. I know. And I'll do whatever it takes. I promise. I know you

will. I'm proud of you, Summer. You never give up.

So, how about some ice cream? Sure. You like strawberry? Yes. Okay, cool.

So, Summer, where's your mom? She's in Haiti right now. She helps set up medical clinics

and stuff. Oh, that's really neat. I bet she has a lot of stories.

You must miss her. Yeah. But I understand. I guess I'll more time with my dad. Except

we move a lot. Yeah. That must be tough.

He loves you a lot, you know that? I love him too.

So, how come you're not married? If I had a nickel, every single time someone asked me

that. You could buy more lemonades at my stand. I was about to be. I was engaged. And the

wedding was set.

It never happened. But you wanna get married.

You wanna have a family.

For a while, I wasn't so sure. But yeah, I want a family. Whatever that means.

Did you know that when you get a dog, they start thinking of you as a pack? They don't

care if you're a human or a dog. You're now part of the pack. That's really neat.

oooo

That is good. I know. horrifying encounter with the bipedal ape-like creature known as

Bigfoot. I seen him. It was a big ol' Squatch. I swear. Okay, you ready to get going?

You gave Shadow the pill. Yes. Okay, shadow we got to go in your crate now. Okay, come

on. Come on. Good girl. There you go. That's a good girl. Okay Good girl Now don't worry

dogs like their crates they feel safe and secure in them, okay Okay shadow, I'm going to have

to leave you here today you just rest Okay, here I go.

Hi babe. How are you? Good. What you got? I bought you lunch. Oh, I just ate. Well,

good thing I also packed dessert. That is my favorite. Thank you. You look like you're

in a good mood. I'm just happy. Shadow's gonna get the care she needs. And Jessica said I

can visit Shadow whenever I want to until she gets better.

Look, sweetheart, this, uh, project that we're on, it's different than the others. Like

how? Well, first of all, most everything was set in place before I got here. It's just

not as much work to be done.

from Mr. Knox for a long time. That promotion he promised me, it could happen pretty quickly.

So what does that mean? could be moving sooner than I thought. Hey, bigger and better summer.

So, when are we leaving? That I don't know. Look, bigger and better. Come on, I'll walk

you out. Come on.

smile on that face.

Why is out here? Oh, I'm having some people spray inside today. But don't worry, we'll

just be gone a couple hours. Right, Shadow? There's not a lot of room for her to move

around in there. That's how it's supposed to be, Lanny. Okay, bye Shadow. We'll be back

soon. I love you. Good girl. Ready guys? Yeah.

See you later.

Sorry, I was driving by and she saw me and got excited so I thought come back here and

try to calm her down. Know that she's supposed to stay rested right now. Thank you. Yeah,

well, shadow's good, so I guess I'll see you around. No, wait, Cole.

I'm really sorry about the other day. I don't know what got into

I shouldn't have pushed. You were just trying to be a friend. I just... I just avoided people

for so long.

Look, I'm gonna make spaghetti for Summer and Lanny. I just dropped them off at Lanny's

house. They're coming right back over here. Why don't you join us for dinner? I mean,

the kids are crazy about you. And it gives you a chance to get out of your dad's house for

a couple hours.

It'd be nice to have some company. Let me go check on my dad and I'll come back, okay?

can't believe she actually said that. I hate her. My dad says you should never use the word

hate. You strongly dislike her. Well, then I strongly dislike her. Yeah, well, I hate her.

Okay, guys, I've got cupcakes for dessert. If you've left room. Of course. So Shadow's

doing okay? Treatment's going well? Yes. So far, so good. Right, Summer? Yes. You wanna

go check on her?

You know I like most about dogs? They live in the moment. No regret from the past. No

fear of the future. If I had to guess, that sounds like you. Yeah, pretty much. I guess

my life's always been an adventure. I get bored with something, I just move on to the next

thing. There's so many things I still want to do. It's just...

What? You you start to question things. Yeah, I do. Should have I been a doctor or a lawyer

or something. Is that what your dad wanted? No, no. Actually, he's the only one who

ever accepted me for who I am. Never wanted to change me. Well, I agree with your dad.

I think you're pretty amazing.

What you two love birds talking about. Lanny. Dogs. And how awesome they are. They love

you unconditionally. Yes, they do. Even if you move to London and become British. British?

Yes, British. I gotta go. What happened? What's wrong? Sorry, I'm getting a little... Are

you okay? Is everything alright?

you

He's going to be all right. I'm so sorry. Thanks.

So unless there's any problems, we can break ground this week. What's the deal? We're gonna

shoot you straight. We want your vote. We need your vote. We know that the developer has

25 % of the vote, and you vote for him. So the question is, what does the developer want?

Any developer I ever dealt with just wants to get her done. If you know what I'm saying,

I am well aware. Mr. Knox wants nothing more than to have this community built out. And

I can't argue with the outline that you've proposed. But I am concerned about the integrity of

the neighborhood. What's in the best interest of the residents. And after reviewing your

proposal more closely, I'm just not sure. Our proposal guarantees growth. It's as simple

as that and you know it. Everyone will adjust to the changes.

Good job, mom.

I think you're right.

I just couldn't bring myself to waking her. I don't think I have ever seen her that peaceful

in my life. No. So, um, you want some coffee or some tea? Coffee. That'd be great. Okay.

It'll just be a minute. No, can't thank you enough. It's just coffee. Not the coffee.

Summer. What you doing for? She's a really special girl. Yeah. Yeah, she is. And I just feel bad

for her. I feel like all we do is move and all I do is work. So how's everything going?

Oh, it's good. mean, job is stressful, but everything's on track, so it's good. How are you? I'd

really rather talk about you.

Summer, is she driving you crazy? She's gotta be cramping your style. Yeah. I've had to

cancel so many dates. You know, she tells me that, um, you used to be engaged.

Yeah. This is actually gonna be our house. What happened?

Sorry.

He just left.

One day, never heard from him again. Ever.

I've never told anyone before.

I kind of got a confession to make too. My relationship with my ex is not good.

She decided she didn't want to be married anymore. Well, to me at least. So, uh, I guess I

never told anyone that either. You ever feel like you could just...

so sorry. I can't believe I just did that. It's just... It's okay. I'm glad you're dead.

I don't want to do that all

Hey. I totally fell asleep. Yeah, I know. We were just having some coffee. Shadow's

still asleep. I just left her on the bed. Is that okay? Oh, yeah, that's fine. I'll take

care of her later. Dad, I'm hungry. Okay, I'll take you to get something to eat. Well, I

could just fix something. I mean, I'm sure you haven't eaten yet. Yeah. Okay. Let's do

it.

I agree with you. Yes, I believe so. Okay, we're all set. Bye.

I'm going to Jessica's. Okay. Was that Miss Tupperworth? Yes, it was. What are you doing?

Just go into the meeting, devote. So what are you going to do? I'm gonna do what's best

for the neighborhood. I'm gonna do what's best for us.

wanna stay, So long. I wanna live here with Shadow. And I wanna go to school here. You

wanna go to school here? Yes. High school? Yes. And I wanna put my pictures up. Can

we talk about this later after the meeting? I've just, I've gotta go.

I can't believe my dad. How could he? He's going to vote Mrs. Tupperware. Mrs. Tupperware's

the enemy. I know. OK, come on, guys. I think you're jumping to conclusions. You need to

let your dad explain. He probably misunderstood it. I absolutely did not.

Hey. Hey. So, how's your dad? Much better. Thank you for the flowers, by the way. That

was really sweet. So what's the latest? Well, I just left and, uh, I guess we've decided

to put him in a skilled nursing facility. That way he can get the help he needs. I'm so sorry,

Cole. It's for the best, Are you going to stay here? For now. But, um, you know, eventually

I'd like to ride my bike through Europe. Wow. That's cool. You can visit me when I'm in boarding

school. Well, hold on now. I got to save up money first, OK? So I'm going be in this neighborhood

for a while longer. Speaking of which, I heard Mrs. Tupperware and her gang are really putting

pressure on Summer's dad. Yeah. Man, I hate bullies. Oh, sorry. I mean, strongly dislike

bullies. Me too. Well, some people think that fear is the only way to get what they want.

But I don't get it. What does Jeff have to be afraid of? Losing his job.

As the treasurer of the HOA, I've counted all the votes.

And it was double-checked by our neighborhood secretary, Mrs. Reynolds.

Based on the number of votes, the HOA has... Oh, wait. Sorry, wrong page. Come on, would

you read the votes already? I got it. got it. Okay, let's see. Based on the number of votes,

only 30 % approve of the new builder. That means 45 % do not want Johnson Homes as the

home builder.

Of course, of course, we need to add the developers' given by Mr. Jeff Lawson in the absence of

Mr. Henry Knox. And his vote making up the remaining 25 % is not in favor of the vote.

So did you see the look on her face? I mean, I saw it. She was so upset. That was the best

part. That was great. Oh, there he is. Yay! Time to celebrate.

Seriously. Thank

Looks like we're gonna be staying for a while. What a day. You realize what this means?

Miss Tupperware has finally met her match. Miss Tupperware's fate has been sealed. Look

at me. I'll show them.

What are you looking at?

not there! What do mean, Shadow's not there? She's not there! Did you shut the gate when

you left? I put her in the pit and I shut the gate. We even double-checked to make sure the

gate was shut. I call Take-A-Lani. right, come on, ladies. Shadow! Shadow, where are you?

Shadow! Shadow!

No luck, huh? No. Man, we looked everywhere. Hey Jessica, you found her? That's great!

What? Oh no.

No, no, no. We'll meet you there. We'll meet you there. She found her, right? Yeah. Yeah,

babe, she found her. Down by her office. Must have been looking for you. She's not looking

real good. She's, uh, having trouble breathing. Hey, hey, hey. We're gonna go to the vet.

We're gonna see her there. Come on.

you

Well, she didn't suffer a pulmonary embolism, and that's good. However, she did collapse

due to overactivity. And what's worse is that one of the heartworms might have lodged in

her lungs. We've taken x-rays and we're waiting on lab work. We'll get her started on IV fluids.

We're gonna keep her hospitalized and monitor her closely overnight tonight. We'll know

more in about 24 hours. I'm sorry, guys. Wait. What does that mean? She's gonna make it,

isn't she? We hope so. Thank you, doctor.

22 hours and 13 minutes. Remember, they said it'd be 24 hours before they knew anything

at all. My dad said he'd be back between five and six, and then we could go up there. We

won't miss him sitting up here.

shower's gotta be alright. The other day when I was riding in the ambulance, paramedics

told me that my dad didn't...

You know, at some point, there's an end for all of us. It doesn't matter if you're a person

or a dog. honest with you, I've been preparing for that. when I look down at him laying on

that stretcher. instead of feeling that he was gonna be alright. same feeling for shit. Really?

Really.

Shadow! Shadow! Yeah!

He's gonna be okay. He was right. See? I told you. But wait, there's more. There is?

She's pregnant. Shadow's gonna have puppies. Can you believe it? Puppies, why not? Shadow's

doing really well. You guys can take her home and continue to monitor her there. That's

such good news. Just remember, she needs to stay on strict exercise restriction. But it

be much longer till Shadow can join us at my refreshment stand. Your stand? Summer may

be her partner. Junior partner. Okay, Seattle. Come on, let's go home. Come on, guys. Thank

you, doctor.

Hey Summer. Hey. What's up? Where's Shadow? She's at home resting. How's your dad? He's

doing pretty good. Thanks for asking. So you'll be leaving soon? When the time's right. have

something for you. What's this? Open it.

can't accept this. It's non-refundable, and it's in your name.

This was expensive. Summer, how did you... Is this your refreshment stamp money? I want

you to ride your bike through Europe. You deserve it. What about you? I don't need to go anymore.

Besides, I have a dog here I have to take care of now.

Hey! What happened? What's going on? I met with, uh, Mr. Knox, Did you get the promotion?

I got fired. Fired? I guess we'll be leaving after all.

But I want to stay. I do too.

I have an idea.

am home.

Sweetie, how was your day? Great, and yours? Good.

Sweet baby.

We delivered the last puppy. Well, except for us.

You wouldn't have this puppy if you didn't save Shadow.

These rocks and turn them into diamonds Sell them on the corner

Hey, yeah, set aside my pride and dance just as long as I provide. Oh, it may not be much,

but I'll make sure we survive.

Figure it out What you do and how you do it now

Oh, it all ended and started right down I'm gonna take this song and sell it for a million

Buy a little house, but we can grow a little garden With a porch, we'll sit on and drink

coffee in the morning Write tunes in our living room Or you paint a canvas so adoring, we'll

have

What you doing and how you doing that?

I don't worry anymore and every night with your long glasses and when the light will pour some

more I like the sugar like sweet molasses the taste that we've been working for laughing

in the kitchen
