This was good she thought, she didn't have to worry about the pup drowning or anything she knew, her fur wasn't all that long, and so she took the leash off of her, making sure she knew to stay close just in case through the ring she wore, and then got to work weeding around the pool. There was a rumor of some flowers in the gardens lately that she wanted to try and find, so weeding was probably a good thing to do she thought. Saku sniffed at the water and stayed clear of the Lotine, just like Jack had warned her to do. At least she listened, that was better than some of her own at this point she thought with a raised brow. All she could do was shake her head and hope it would be worth it, wondering what she was going to have when this was all over.

While Saku prodded the water a little, the woman continued to pick some weeds around the area with a small sigh escaping her for now. If only she knew what she was supposed to really be doing, then she would, of course, be doing that, but that wasn't really the issue she supposed. The issue was, she was a little bored, and while the gardens usually took some time to get used to before she could really get going again, she realized it didn't really matter in the long run. Giving a bit of a frown, she watched the striped pup splash about a little bit to try and cool down before she drank a little of the water and plopped down inside of it. Jack chuckled a little and reached out to scrub her head a bit, wondering if there was any dirt on her, and how much there would be for now.

If anything, she really shouldn't have taken this on, she had plenty of her own pups to train up, as well as the new Ohou species that had been released. She had five of them already it would seem, she had the original two and then had gone and bought three more of them before the day had been over. Not that she regretted it, but it was still an issue she figured as she plucked the weeds and tossed them into the wheelbarrow she had with her again. Jack sighed and watched as Saku's eyes slowly drooped a little, being in the shallow water was good for the pup to cool down, and she would keep a good eye on her at this point she knew with a low chuckle. While things were going to happen quickly, she was sure at least, she knew that it was still going to feel like forever.

The sun was high in the sky, soon it would start to sink and they would be in the cooler evening air. At least there was a slight breeze going through the area, she had to be happy about that much, and she fanned her shirt a little as she looked around for more weeds. There were rows and rows of tilled and planted areas, some things in various stages of growth all around her. It felt good to have this place in order, but she wished she could find a few things that were supposed to grow wild as well, and finding some animals would be nice as well. Jack gave a small shrug and decided it didn't really matter when she thought about it, but that was fine either way she figured. Saku was starting to fall asleep due to the heat, and she would just have to keep an eye on the pup so nothing happened to her.

While Saku laid in the pond and napped, the woman stood up and stretched out, wondering what was going to happen today, and if she was going to find anything worthwhile. She was hoarding bunanas for some reason, not that she had done an Orbaru breeding for quite some time and all that, so she thought about giving some away or selling them. Sighing a bit, she placed her hands on her hips and looked around a little, trying to decide where to go next. The pond looked fine now, which was a good thing no matter how you looked at it, and Kanre would certainly be happy about that at this point. She would have to treat the pond at some point to get all the moss out of there, but for now everyone seemed to be rather content with how it looked, and so she let the Houluh rest for a bit before she moved on.

If everything went to plan, she could deliver Saku to Xentus by the end of the day, but that might be wishful thinking. Getting her up to speed to where she could learn a few things was definitely going to take awhile, and she wasn't used to speeding through it at this point either. That was fine though, she would get this done and then all would be well again, she could once more focus on her own animals and everything would be alright. Giving a little sigh, the woman picked up a hoe and pushed the wheelbarrow a little ways away, plucking the pup from the water and putting her under the table again. Saku whimped a little at the motion but settled down when she realized she was in the shade. Still though, the heat would dry her off pretty quickly, and Jack had to be careful of all of that.

As she moved off toward the section with the tilled rows of plants with a little smile on her face, Saku got comfortable under the table. She didn't know what was going on for the moment, but she was pleased she was cool and all that. There wasn't much she could do at the moment when all was said and done, and that was fine too, she didn't need to do much more after all. Jack glanced over at Saku and sighed a little when she thought about how that was going for now, she was resting and it was going to be alright in the long run. Well, she had work to do, and Saku was just along for the ride she figured with a small nod as she went about her business. Picking weeds was boring, but hey, it was time to get things done at this part she thought.

Jack scratched the back of her head and sighed a little as she started to pick the weeds in the rows of crops. This was the worst part of having a farm, or even a garden, and that was fine at the same time. Shaking her head a little, she tossed a few into the wheelbarrow and leaned against a wire cage for some vegetables to grow on and stared at Saku. Maybe she should try actually training her other than just giving her some experience, it would probably be better when things were going. She wasn't sure though, maybe this was the part of things she thought about no matter what. She did need to sort things out about Nina eventually, but not today. Stretching her arms toward the sky, she looked at Saku still and tried to make up her mind on doing what she needed to do at the moment.

It was alright she knew, things would turn out well for her in the end, and she just needed to believe in herself a little. She went over to the picnic table and leaned down, patting little Saku on the head as she rested there, cooling down after her little dip in the water. This was fine she knew, all she had to do was watch a pup for awhile and get things going before sending her back to Xentus. Hopefully her friend would be happy with her for this work, and she knew that things would be brighter around the corner. What she needed to do was just to get things done and that would be that. Honestly she wouldn't let herself be hired for more Houluh right now, she had plenty of her own to do at the moment and that was enough for her right now she knew with a sigh.

What she really needed to do was get this done after a little bit, already Saku was looking a little bigger and healthier, much like Sarane did when they were growing. Of course you had to do a show in order to get Houluh to grow up, which was a pain, but hey, it would be alright after a little bit of time, right? Jack pushed a hand through her hair and shook it out again, wondering what she needed to get done for now as she glanced around the gardens. She did need to weed out the plant beds and then completely make over the new section she had managed to get her hands on recently. The new addition would be great for more crops, considering she already had a gazebo. She really wished she could just live here, but that wasn't allowed, which was a complete shame. Didn't mean she couldn't camp there though...

All of this was just worthless in the long run though, she knew with a little sigh. The woman wasn't too sure about what she needed to do in order to be remembered in the area when she was gone, and that troubled her a little when it came down to things. Jack frowned and looked at Saku again, wondering if she could get the little Houluh to help her out any, but it really was too hot of a day to do that as well. Oh well, she thought with a small shrug, and the woman decided it didn't really matter when it all came down to it. She would get this work done no matter what happened, and she hoped that it was all going to be worth it after all. Hopefully whatever Xentus did was going to make this better, but she didn't know if that was really going to be true or not.

Everything was going to go to plan she knew. She really wanted to be in the gardens more after all, she needed the experience with it and hopefully would try to get things going for a bit. While she wished she could live in the gardens, she knew it wasn't really possible, they patrolled them some nights when they were least expecting it just to make sure things were okay. Jack looked around and gave a little smile before she looked back at Saku again. The little pup was doing well so far, and she knew that she would continue to do well in her care. Even if it was pretty hot outside, things were fine in the long run she knew with a small smile. Given what she was doing, she did wish she had her own pups out with her this time and no someone else's and all that.

If she just went ahead and did what she wanted to do, then nothing would get done. She wished she had some more clear cut goals than this, but there wasn't much for her to go on after awhile. Giving a small frown, the woman shrugged a little to herself before leaving Saku alone again and heading back to start weeding again. Sooner or later she would get to work on the new plot and have some things get together for her after all, but for now she just wanted to start small and then work her way up again, just in case some things didn't work out in the long run. She really needed to get focused on what she was doing, which was also very distracting and not going too well about everything. As if she didn't have enough on her plate, she was thinking about doing some other things as well.

Maybe she needed to think of a new hobby, she thought as she glanced over at Saku. The Houluh pup was now asleep and mostly dry thanks to the heat there was outside today. Jack sighed a little and thought about it. She had quite the green thumb, or at least she thought so, so it would be nice to do something with that eventually. Scratching the back of her head, she sighed a bit and thought about it, unsure as to what she should be doing today othe than weeding and working on the new plot as well. This was going to work out eventually she knew, and the woman didn't care much for what else she had to do either. Jack wondered what she could really do for now, but there wasn't much she really could do, not without a permit and all that, she figured with a small sigh.
