Oh, hi!
Okay, here's the deal.
Blossom comes homefrom vacation tomorrow,
and I still have a rhinoin our house.
If only you were a dog, Fluff!
Blossom loves dogs, kinda.
[gasps]
That's it!
Fluff, you're goingto have to be a dog
until Blossom can see how greathaving a rhinoceros is.
Quick, Chet, start lookingfor stuff to make a dog costume
for a rhino.
A dog costume for a rhino.
What?
That makes perfect sense.
All right!
Good job, Chet!
There's bound to be materialsfor making a dog costume
in here somewhere.
Well, none of thesemake Fluff look like a dog.
Going to need a better costume.
Hmm.
Yeah, but Fluffhas to look like a real dog.
All right, we need a dogwith fur we can copy
and cover our rhino with.
Let's see what we've got here.
Wow, a lot of choices.
This dog is too tiny.
That is a duck.
Hold on, wait-- that's a dog?
Huh.
The Puli.
A Hungarian herding dog.
Interesting.
Whoa, all that long,thick, messy fur
could cover the whole rhino.
Chet, we have found our dog.
All right, let's seewhat we're dealing with here.
So viewers, we've determinedthat a puli's fur is long,
thick, and messy.
In other words, its main qualityis shagginess.
So Chet and I are going to sortour pile into two new piles--
a pile of shaggy thingsand a pile of not shaggy things.
Ready?
Here we go.
The strands on the rugare long, thick, and messy.
It's shaggy.
Multicolored pom-poms.
Long, check.
Thick, check.
Messy, check.
Shaggy!
A sandwich from last April.
Oh, I was wonderingwhere that sandwich went.
Not shaggy.
My Golden Blobbie award.
Not shaggy.
Uh, this could take a while.
A welcome mat, a mop, a weirdsweater I got from Grandma,
a rope bonethat's falling apart.
So we've now identifiedall of our shaggy items.
But shagginess alonewon't convince Blossom
that Fluff is a puli.
This puli is a gray color,
so we need to sort our shaggypile into two new piles--
shaggy things that are gray
and shaggy thingsthat are not gray.
Gray, not gray.
Gray,not gray.
Not gray, gray.
Not gray-- done!
We've narrowed our choicefor puli costume material
down to these three items.
We've matched the color,and we have shagginess.
But is the shaggy materialthe right length?
Does it match the lengthof actual puli fur?
Rope bone?
Nope, the strands are too long.
The rug fibers?
Too short.
Oh, this mop is...
...perfect!
Quick, Chet, go outand buy mops
so our rhino can looklike a dog!
[squeaks]
What?
That makes sense.
Come on, get on there!
Phew!
That's how to turn a rhinointo a dog with mops.
Just like the fur on the puliin that picture,
mop heads are gray, kind oflong, and definitely shaggy.
And now all we have to do
is teach you a few basiccanine tricks.
Ready?
Roll over.
[creaking]
Oh, wait, no, no,just roll over once.
Once!
[screaming]
Yep, we havea little more work to do.
