- Hi! I'’m Calvin.

Welcome to Mutt & Stuff.

Are you ready to have a fun, furry day?

Zippy!

Zippy?

[barks]

- Oh, there you are.

What'’s that?

A present?

I wonder who it'’s from.

Hmm.

It'’s from my dad!

"To Calvin and the dogs,

"Here'’s a gift to show you how much I love you.

I'’ll stop by later to spend time with everyone."

Wow. My dad is the best.

And he knows how important it is to spend time with your dogs.

You'’re right, Zippy.

We should start class so we can open the present

with everyone.

Come on.

Thanks, Zippy.

You know, my dad is always doing nice things for us.

I think we should do something special for him.

- Oh, that sounds fun.

- Hmm.

Does anyone have any ideas of what we could do?

Princess Pickles, I'’m not so sure

my dad would want to chew on some toys...

Or have someone scratch his belly, Rocket.

Let'’s think of something a human would want to do.

- Ooh! How about some yummy snacks?

Everyone likes yummy snacks.

- Good thinking, Stuff.

Hey, that gives me an idea.

Let'’s throw him a party and make a surprise dinner.

We'’ll make his favorite meal,

pasta with fresh vegetables.

Hey, Cuddles,

spin the wheel to see what we should do first.

I totally meant to do that.

- The table'’s all set for my dad.

Now we just need some food for the dinner.

Anything he wants! Rawr.

Okay.

Dog treat... - Mmm.

- Dog food? - Yes!

- Oh, no! - Oh, no?

What do you mean, Calvin?

These are my favorite things to eat.

- I know, but all of this looks good for you, Stuff,

but my dad doesn'’t eat dog food.

He eats human food.

- What?

Oh! Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

'’Cause, well, he'’s a human.

- Yeah. - Hmm.

- Sorry, Zippy. I should'’ve been

more clear with my instructions.

[sighs] Okay, listen up, pups.

If we want to have a dinner for my dad,

then we need human food,

like fresh vegetables.

- But, Calvin, your dad will be here soon,

and we need the food now.

- I know.

But Amara the farmer only comes once a week

with her vegetable stand,

and I can'’t remember what day.

- Huh. Hmm.

[dog barking]

- Today! She comes today!

- How convenient!

- Come on. Let'’s go.

♪♪

Hey, Amara the farmer.

We'’re cooking dinner for my dad.

- It'’s a surprise.

[Amara barks]

- Oh, what are we cooking?

Well, my dad'’s favorite:

pasta with veggies.

First, we'’re gonna need some veggies.

Mm, perfect.

- Ooh!

- Hm. Good.

- Got it.

- Can'’t have pasta without yummy tomato sauce.

This looks good.

- Ha-ha! Ah-ha!

Whoa. Who knew tomatoes could be so much fun?

[laughs]

- There'’s one more thing that I need,

but I can'’t remember what it is.

- Hmm.

- An onion!

- Ooh!

Calvin, your dad.

- No, Stuff. We need an onion, not my dad.

- No, I mean your dad'’s coming.

- My dad? My dad!

We got to hide!

- Okay!

[silly music]

- Hi, Amara the farmer.

How are you?

Wow. You sure have great-looking veggies today,

like this onion.

[sniffs]

[Zippy groans]

- Such a good-looking onion.

- Oh, no. We need that onion.

We can'’t let my dad find us,

or else it'’ll ruin the surprise.

- But how are we supposed to get the onion

if your dad has it?

- Very carefully.

- Oh.

- Oh! Ooh, ooh!

Hey, Davenport? Davenport!

- [yells] Hi, Zoe.

- Did you see that Calvin is hiding from his dad?

- Yeah, well, I'’m hiding from you.

I wonder if you'’ll find me.

- Right there. - Oh, you'’re good!

- I'’m okay. - Meow too.

- Okay. I'’m gonna have to be sneaky like a ninja cat

and get that onion.

♪

- Nice try, Calvin.

- Ah, my shoelaces are untied.

- Stuff, he put down the onion!

Now'’s our chance.

You have long arms.

Do you think you can reach over and grab it?

- Oh, well, I'’ll try, Calvin.

Here.

Ahh...

I got it!

- Stuff! - Aah!

- What are you doing here?

- Oh, hey, Calvin'’s dad.

- Oh, no. The surprise is ruined.

- Surprise? What surprise?

- Well, Mr. Calvin'’s dad,

see, we were shopping

'’cause we were gonna make you a surprise dinner party.

- Dad, you do so many nice things for us.

I just wanted to return the favor.

This was going to be a surprise.

- Well, I'’m glad it'’s not a surprise.

- You are? - We can cook together.

That would be the best gift of all.

That'’s if you don'’t mind me cooking with you.

- That would be awesome.

The dogs love spending time with my dad.

Come on, guys. Let'’s make an awesome dinner.

- Yes! - Yeah!

- Okay, well, close your eyes.

- Okay.

- No peeking! - I promise.

And...

now you can look.

[laughing]

- Noodles!

- I'’m gonna make you a Caesar salad!

- I love Caesar salad.

- '’Cause you'’re Cesar,

and it'’s, like, Caesar salad,

so it'’s like a Cesar Caesar salad.

- That makes a lot of sense.

- Okay. First thing we need to do...

- Mm-hm? - Is add some fresh lettuce.

Like this. [grunts]

Sca-blam-y! - Sca-blam-y!

- You'’re pretty good at that. - Thank you.

- Okay, now we add some cheese and croutons.

- I love cheese. Parmesan is my favorite.

- Ka-chow!

- Ka-chow!

- And some croutons.

- Some croutons.

- Wah-cha!

- Oh, I love your process.

Wah-cha!

- And now we mix.

[grunts]

Um, Cesar? - Yes?

- Could you help me with this part?

- Absolutely. - Okay, you take that one.

- Okay. - And I'’ll get this one.

- Excellent. - Okay.

- And then? [together] Mix, mix, mix, mix,

mix, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix.

Oh, wait. I forgot.

- Like what?

- Come here. - What?

a little bit of love.[kisses]
