DOGGY DAY SCHOOL
WHAT'S ON APTN:
DOGGY DAY SCHOOL
Doggy Day School is the home away from home to a lovable crew of dogs and their caretaker. Every morning the dogs' busy owners drop them off, and every evening they return to pick them up. In between, the dogs spend their time playing together, learning about each other and the world around them, and getting in - and out - of merry mischief.
Hidden Talent
Vlad, a famous stunt dog is dropped off for the day. and he offers to teach the dogs a few tricks. When it's Suki's turn, Vlad is amazed to see her balance on a big ball. He says that Suki has natural talent and could be a great stunt dog. He invites her to go with him and star in his next movie. The others protest but then realise they are being selfish to insist she stay and that Suki should follow her heart. Suki is tempted, but when it's time to go, she has a change of heart and realises that she doesn't want to leave her friends for a life in the movies.
Pedro's Secret
Pedro has a special stuffed toy dog called Little Pedro that he's brought to day care - but he doesn't want anyone to know. He hasn't been sleeping well during nap time and he thinks sleeping with Little Pedro will help. But when it's nap-time - he discovers Little Pedro is missing! The others who notice he's having trouble sleeping, try to help him out. But nothing works. Then Suki lends him her little stuffed toy that she sleeps with. When he finds that Suki has a stuffed toy to help her sleep, he admits that he does too - but he can't find it. He feels much better when everyone else admits they have comfort things too (blanket, dish, soother even) - and then of course, they find Little Pedro.
Oodles Of Poodles
Two poodles are dropped off at the daycare for the day. They look just like Lili except they're a different colour (both are yellow). Lili is thrilled to have them around and makes a big deal of how similar they are. But much to the dismay of the others, she soon only wants to play with the two drop-ins. The others understand, until Lili proclaims a poodle's only club and they begin to feel left out. But then two yellow poodles make their own clubhouse ( for yellow poodles only). Now Lili is upset - she quickly realizes it doesn't feel very good to be left out. She apologizes to her old friends and they invite her to join their game. It's a game EVERYONE can play. It's so much fun that soon even the two drop ins want to join them.
Food For Thought
Daisy, an Afghan drops in for the day. And brings a special snack - curry biscuits The others don't mind it, but Lucas and Pedro think the snack smells funny. They laugh about it and call it stinky. Daisy overhears and her feelings are hurt. The others tell Lucas and Pedro it isn't very nice to make fun of someone because their food is different and Lucas and Pedro apologize. Everyone tries the new snack and likes them except Pedro, who's convinced he won't like them. But when he inadvertently tastes one, he finds he loves them. In fact, he's so wild for them he tries to convince Daisy to bring in more the next time she drops in for the day.
Bath Time
Lucas gets dirty playing in the mud but doesn't want to take a bath. He says he hates getting wet! There's a small puddle in the back yard (made by the hose when Rosie filled the tub). Now that's the kind of bath he likes - a mud bath. He jumps in, which makes him dirtier than ever, but he still won't take a bath. Soon he gets dirt on Pedro's painting, drips mud on Lili's dress up hat and all over the floor. It's only when he inadvertently gets wet that Lucas realises that being wet isn't so bad after all! In fact, it's fun!
