01x25 - Pet Responsibility

Post by bunniefuu »

- Woo circling satellites.

I better not drop this.

Poppin' Pluto.

I'm so glad you're here.

I'm truly Dooley excited today.

And do you know why?

Ashley is bringing her dog Nikki to visit us.

She said Nikki likes treats, so I got her one.

It's a Dooley-rific milkshake.

Yum yum.

Do you think dogs like milkshakes?

Should we find out?

Come on, and join the fun.

♪ Here comes Dooley from a planet far away ♪

♪ His home was way up in the sky where Dooley used to play ♪

♪ He's come from far beyond the stars ♪

♪ To make some brand new friends ♪

♪ So now it's time to learn and play with ♪

♪ Dooley and pals ♪

- Hoo Dooley, there's that little frog.

I mean, that little dog that was telling you about.

- What kind of dog is she?

- [Ashley] Nikki's a boxer.

Isn't she cute?

- Jumping Jupiter, she's a beauty.

I brought her a milkshake for a treat.

- And I brought her my favorite whistle blat to play with.

- Thanks you guys, but.

- Dogs should drink water, not milkshakes.

And they usually play with ba*ls,

not whistle blatz, watch.

Go get it, Nikki.

- Maybe you should try the whistle blat.

- I don't think so, M.A.R.T.I.E.

Nikki used to chase ba*ls when she was a puppy,

but she's getting older now.

- I'll bet she's a good friend to curl up with

on a rainy day.

- Yeah, she's been part of our family

since before I was born.

- She's so soft and sweet.

- She knows all my secrets

and she'll never tell, she's my best friend.

- My stars, I sure would love to have

a friend like Nikki.

- But, Dooley, you have me.

- [All Kids] And what about us?

- Yeah?

- Ooh, you guys are great,

but having a pet with big brown eyes to love?

That would be really, truly Dooley special too.

- Pets are a lot of work, Dooley.

They're a big responsibility.

- Yeah, they are.

I feed Nikki, walk her and give her a bath,

but I like taking care of her.

- And you're doing a great job, Ashley.

Having a pet is a big responsibility.

- Responsibility? Oh, that's me.

I could take care of a pet, I'm responsibility.

- Dooley, do you mean you're responsible?

- Oh yeah, that's it.

Responsible.

Uh, what's responsible?

- It means dependable, right mom?

- Right.

- Like Nikki depends on Ashley to take care of her.

- That's right, Nick.

Nikki is Ashley's responsibility.

You know, there are all kinds of responsibilities.

- Hey Zoom, do you think we could have a pet?

- Pets? Us?

Where would we keep it?

How would we feed it?

Cosmos, why would you want to pet anyway?

- Hmm, I don't know.

I guess I'd like to be responsible for something.

- Well, if you like pets, here's a pet joke for ya.

What kind of dog loves to have his hair washed?

- I don't know, Zoom.

What kind of dog loves to have his hair washed?

- A sham poodle!

(laughter)

- That's a good one Zoom, a sham poodle.

- I got a million of 'em.

Hey, what kind of fish only swims at night?

- Hmm, I don't know, Zoom.

What fish only swims at night?

- A starfish! Get it?

(laughter)

Twinkle twinkle.

- Twinkle twinkle.

- Little star. - Little star fish!

- Hey! Maybe we could get

a goldfish, Zoom.

Yeah, that's a really small pet

and I could feed it, I could be responsible for it.

- Cosmos, where would we find a goldfish?

How would we hold a goldfish?

- Well, oh.

I guess you're right.

(whistle)

- Howdy Dooley everybody, mails in.

- [All Kids] Hi Mrs. Z!

- Say, what's up in here?

- I heard M.A.R.T.I.E. saying something about

getting Dooley a pet.

- A pet? For me?

Ooh, I hope so.

- I wonder what it'll be.

- Me too, I love pets.

You know, my family used to keep all kinds of pets.

- Really?

- You bet we had rabbits, cats, dogs,

and even a pig.

That must be why your letter of the day

is the letter A for animals.

- And A is also for antelope.

That's an animal too.

- And anteater.

- And ape.

- Animals are so much fun.

I think I want to be a veterinarian

like my dad when I grow up.

- Oh, that sounds great.

You know, I think you all can be anything you want to be

when you grow up.

- Okay! I'm ready!

If M.A.R.T.I.E is getting me a pet,

I'll have everything I need.

I have a feeding bowl.

I have leashes.

I have shampoo.

Oh, and toys.

- Dooley, I was just guessing that

M.A.R.T.I.E's gonna get you a pet.

He might not.

- Well I want to be ready just in case.

Just like your mom said,

owning a pet is a big responsibility.

- Did somebody say pet? Because a big pet is what I've got.

- Oh M.A.R.T.I.E.!

Oh, hi Dr. Arvid!

- Hi guys.

- Hi Dad.

- Hey!

- M.A.R.T.I.E. Dooley can't have a pony for a pet.

- That's what I told M.A.R.T.I.E. as well, Chris,

but we thought we'd bring it by for all of you to see.

- Why can't I have a pony for a pet, Dr. Arvid?

I have lot of supplies.

- And she's just what you wanted.

She has big brown eyes and her name is Daisy.

- Oh, Daisy!

Oh galloping galaxies,

she's beautiful.

- Oh yes she is.

And she's going to make someone a wonderful pet.

Someone with a barn and a big field of sweet grass

for her to munch on.

- Oh, I guess our backyard doesn't have enough grass.

Does it?

- I don't think my mom's gonna go for it, Dooley.

- Now Dooley, M.A.R.T.I.E.,

pets can be wonderful loving friends,

but we need to be very careful when we choose one.

- Sometimes people choose a pet just 'cause it's cute.

And then they find out it's way too much work.

- Or they're not old enough yet to take care of it.

- That's right.

So before bringing a pet home, we need to make sure

that we can take care of it each and every day.

- I know we need to be responsible.

I would truly Dooley take care of Daisy,

but she wouldn't be happy living in our backyard.

I want her to have lots of sweet grass to eat.

- She likes carrots too.

Would you like to feed her, Dooley?

- Marchin' martians, sure!

Here you go Daisy.

- Oh my gears and rivets, she likes 'em.

- [Dooley] Yum. Yum.

- Well look, let, let me get Daisy back,

but I think she enjoyed meeting all of you.

- h*, and we enjoyed meeting her, Dr. Arvid.

Daisy, I know you'll make a Dooley-rific pet for someone.

- We'll walk you out Dr. Arvid.

- Bye Dr. Arvid!

- Good bye.

- Bye Daisy.

Gee, Daisy sure is a beautiful pony.

Do you have any pets at home?

What do you do to take care of them every day?

I wonder what kind of animal would make a good pet for me?

- Hey, Cosmos, where's a good place

to take a sick pony?

- I don't know, Zoom.

Where do you take a sick pony?

- To the horse-pital of course!

Get it.

It's a joke.

(cackles)

- Yeah, I get it, Zoom.

I just don't feel like joking right now.

- You're not thinking about being responsible again are you?

- Well, Zoom, if you're responsible

that kind of says something about you.

Like you can be counted on and trusted.

- Cosmos, I'll be right back.

- [Zoom] Hey Cosmos!

What do you call a rabbit with fleas?

- Okay. Okay.

What do you call a rabbit with fleas?

- Bugs Bunny!

(laughter)

- What about a bunny?

Oh, just think about it, Zoom.

Cute furry ears, that twitching pink nose.

Hooooo.

- Oh, what have I done?

- Fluffy tail, thumping foot,

hoppity, hoppity.

(electric sounds)

(slam)

- Today's Fun Facts are about pets.

- Dogs can hear sounds humans can't.

- Cats use their whiskers to see

if they can fit through a hole.

- Hamsters love to eat crickets.

- Hi, Dooley, cleaning up?

- Oh, hi Maxx!

Sometimes cleaning helps me take my mind off my troubles.

- Are you sad because you didn't get a pet, Dooley?

- Yes. How did you know?

- I know how you feel.

I've wanted a kitten for a long time.

- But you didn't get one?

- My mom always says I have to wait

till I'm older and can really take care of it.

- Gravity gravy Maxx, your mom is probably right.

A kitten is a big -

- Responsibility, I know.

- But if you ever do get a kitten, Maxx,

I'll help you take care of it.

We can be responsible together.

- I was hoping you'd say that Dooley.

I'll be right back.

- Spinning space dust.

Where could Maxx be going?

This day is full of surprises.

- Dooley, my space friend,

meet little Dooley, my kitten!

- Little Dooley! A kitten named after me?

- I helped pick him out.

- But I thought you said Maxx was too young for a pet?

- Well, Maxx and I had a long talk

and she promised to be.

- Responsible. Dooley, will you help me?

- Marchin' martians, Maxx, of course I will!

Oh, but I don't know anything about kittens.

- Oh, don't worry.

Dr. Arvid said he'd tell us everything we need to know.

- And I'll help too.

- Dooley, would you like to pet him?

- Oh, simmering sunspots.

A new little friend to play with?

A little friend just like you Maxx.

- Hey Zoom, guess what happened when

the cat ate a ball of wool?

- Oh, Cosmos, now I don't feel like joking.

You're right, we don't have any responsibilities.

I want to be responsible too.

- Excellent.

Zoom, I figured it out!

We are responsible for each other.

- I help you and you help me?

- Yeah! Like how you tried to cheer me up when I was sad.

- And you took care of me when I was sick.

- That's right, pal.

We're responsible for our friendship right?

- Right! Now, what did happen when the cat

ate the ball of wool?

- She had mittens!

(laughter)

- Daily Dooley log entry.

Woop! Hi everybody!

It's me, Dooley.

Ever since my ship landed here on earth,

I've learned lots about your planet.

Today I met Ashley's dog, Nikki.

She's older and doesn't play much anymore,

but she's still cuddly on a cold night.

She's a great pet,

but a big pet like a pony is not for everyone.

Dr. Arvid helped us understand that you need to be careful

and choose a pet that you can really take care of.

Any pet is a big responsibility,

animals need us and they trust us to be kind and caring.

- [Dooley] Mrs. Z stopped by with the letter A

- For animals.

- [Dooley] And taught us we can be anything we want to be

if we put our mind to it.

I'm going to help Maxx be responsible for her new kitten.

We'll never forget to feed him,

take him to Dr. Arvid for checkups and play with him.

- Don't worry.

- [Dooley] And as always we shared some

Dooley-rific picture pals.
