bigger mess that piled up on a day

when it seemed to be raining

pigs would you like to hear it haley

oh yeah sure let's hear it yeah okay

it's called pigs aplenty pigs galore

it's by david mcphail when he can't read

it unless you sit really really close

thank you okay you ready

lunch munch

crunch

late one night as i sat reading

i thought i heard the sound of

feeding through the kitchen

door i crept barely watching

where i stepped

a crash a bearing a shelter yeah i

slipped on something then i

fell

i landed on a pile of

pigs some eating dates

some eating figs

in the cupboards on the floor pigs are

plenty

pigs galore

black pigs white pigs brown

and pink pigs making oatmeal

in the sink pigs

pigs and tutus pigs and kilts

pigs on skateboards pigs on

stilts pigs from england

pigs from france pigs and just there

underpants

the king of pigs the piggy queen

the biggest pigs i've ever seen

pigs arrive by boat

by plane a bus

pulls up and then a train

a band strikes up a piggy sings

at 10 the doorbell rings

someone yells the pizza's here

and all the pigs begin to cheer

flying pizzas fill the air one goes

splat

against my chair the piggy piggies eat

their fill

[Music]

i get nothing just the bill

i've had enough i scream and shout

get out you pigs you pigs get out

please let us stay the piggies cry

don't make us go don't say goodbye

you can stay i tell them all

but sweep the floor and

scrub the wall

i give them brooms a pail a mop

now sweep and scrub till i say stuff

the piggies work and when they're done

upstairs they stagger one by one

they brush their teeth and comb their

tails

they wash their spouts and cleaned their

nails

[Music]

oh the pigs and i climb

into bed i plump the pillows and

plop my head

i close my eyes and try to sleep

before too long i'm dreaming deep

of pigs and pigs and pigs some more

pigs are plenty pigs galore

i have a question haley do you think

that he was dreaming about all those

pigs what do you think's going on in the

very end

i think he's screaming you think he's

streaming

yeah it's too bad we don't have a

lot of pigs to help clean up this mess

here isn't it

yeah yeah i don't feel like cleaning up

this mess at all

me neither me neither

tell you what let's do it after another

story

and i've got just the perfect one for a

bunch of lazy bones like us

oh wow check out the cover it really is

raining

dogs around here i love this

book now mike do you think this

dog likes the rain i don't know

maybe not should we find out yeah yeah

let's write it

okay go ahead this is a book by pia

lindenbaum called boodle my dog

this is boodle my dog she's sleeping in

her

favorite chair my dad used to think it

was his chair

but he knows better now boodle is bull

terrier

she's the best dog in the whole world

her brilliant mind is always at work her

guard

is never down bull terriers

are very fierce strong and brave

i bet a burglar would take one look at

her

and run for his life

it's my job to walk boodle after school

it takes us a long time to get down the

steps

my dad says that's because boodle's a

little nutty

but i say it's because

she has to make sure there's no trouble

down waiting for us at the bottom of the

stairs

that's the watchdog in her come on

boodle

boodle always seems to want to go in a

different direction than i do

i let her decide because sometimes a dog

knows best it takes longer her way i

have to admit

but we always end up at the park just

the same

this way

in the park other dogs chase ba*ls

but not bootle she'd rather look at

bugs and leaves i wonder what she thinks

about them

isn't boodle beautiful as she sits on

the rock watching the other dogs

fetch sticks nobody decide when she's

going to play

she looks like a royal statue

her paws are small and strong and she

has such pert

ears and the fur on the tip of her nose

is very short and soft

i'm so proud of her

sometimes voodoo wanders off to explore

by herself

last week it took me two hours to find

her in the tall grass

nothing can stop her when she's on a

scent trail

[Music]

when buddha waits outside the grocery

store she likes to watch

people and dogs passenger by other dogs

seem to want to play with her

but she isn't interested they're not

her style little dogs

or her but

big dogs she loves

sometimes i can't figure bootle out

we don't like getting caught in the rain

boodle is suspicious of puddles

and she's not fond of wet paws

it won't hurt you poodle

she'd rather avoid them if she can

you think boodle would be glad to get

back home where it's dry

but when i call her upstairs to towel

her off

something outside usually catches her

eye i yell and yell but she

won't but she has

steel

[Music]

buddha won't just eat anytime she eats

when she chooses

i always remind mom to get boodle's

favorite foods but sometimes she forgets

usually i can get her to eat anyway

boodle has never really gotten used to

the vacuum cleaner

it probably looks like a dangerous

enemy to her i bet

only boodles amazing super dog

self-control keeps her from ripping the

vacuum to pieces

every night i know what's coming

nighttime is when doodle gets frisky

i always rush through my bath so i don't

miss the action

she's so cute when she wants to play

mom asks why boodle can't play outside

during the day

i think maybe boodle is just a night

person

some dogs are my little brother

hasn't learned to get out of bootle's

way yet

you'd think he would catch on after a

while i don't know why mom gets

so upset he falls down all the time

anyway

like an amazing white cannonball buddha

leaps across the room

what a dog i'm always impressed when she

clears the coffee table

sometimes boodle performs a happy little

dance on the sofa

i yell for dad to get the video camera

but he ignores me

then the neighbor downstairs complains

about the thumping noises

boodle and i are surrounded by party

poopers

finally boodle has had enough

we're both ready for bedtime tonight

little needs an extra little push to get

up into her chair

[Music]

i feel happy when i see buddha worm her

way beneath her blankie

i give her our last little pet i tell

her good night

i'll sleep soundly tonight knowing that

is keeping me safe

oh that was a great story kathleen do

you think the pictures match the words

let's look her guard is never down

yeah boy what a watch dog huh

[Music]

somebody scratched my tummy i don't

think she's gonna attack the vacuum

cleaner either

oh yes no havey why do you think she

would be afraid of the vacuum cleaner

the noise um yeah my brother's scared of

it

oh really vacuum cleaners yeah taking

care of a turtle and he

and he's scared of loud noises

really well boy i don't feel as lazy

now me neither me neither

maybe we're like bootle ready to move at

the end of the day

so shall we okay

let's do it

[Music]

keno yeah can i help oh no you don't

have to
