[Laughter]

[Woof]

Emily elizabeth:
"and they all lived
happily ever after!

"The end."

Ok, clifford.

Time for bed.

[Yawning]

[Sighs]

Oh, you sure do like

This big old doghouse,
don'’t you?

I remember when we
lived in the city

And we didn'’t have room
for a doghouse for you.

[Whimpers]

Would you like
to hear the story

About living in the city
again, clifford?

Oh, ok.

I think we have time
for one more story.

[Woof]

Let'’s see...

When I first
brought you home,

You were a tiny,
tiny puppy,

But it wasn'’t very long
before you really
started to grow.

In fact, you got so big,

You couldn'’t even fit
into the house anymore.

[Arf arf arf arf arf]

I'’m sorry, clifford.

I love you very much,

But you'’re too big
to fit in my room now.

You'’re too big to fit
in the building!

[Smooch]

I'’ll see you
first thing
in the morning!

I promise.

Now go lay down.

Good night.

[Click]

[Sighs]

Ugh!

I'’m sorry, clifford.

[Gasps]

[Whimpers]

Woman: come on, taffy.

Time for bed.

Ha ha ha.
Don'’t forget your
nighty-night blanket.

[Arf arf arf arf arf]

[Arf arf arf arf
arf arf arf arf]

[Click]

[Gasps]
clifford, what'’s wrong?

[Arf arf arf arf arf]

[Whimpering]

Is clifford ok,
emily elizabeth?

What'’s happening?

Is it clifford?

Is he all right?

I think clifford'’s
having a hard time
sleeping tonight.

Maybe he'’d like a blanket
to curl up with,

Like my little taffy has.

Our brutus can'’t sleep
a wink without his
favorite bear.

And frankie down there
really loves his
little basket.

Maybe clifford would like
something like that, too.

Don'’t worry,
emily elizabeth.

We'’ll find something
to make clifford
more comfortable.

We'’ll make sure
he'’s nice and cozy

By bedtime tomorrow night.

[All laughing]

There you go, clifford.

How does that feel?

[Arf]

It sure was nice of all
our neighbors to bring
these blankets for him.

Everyone really
pitched in.

This is for you, too,
clifford.

[Arf arf arf
arf arf arf arf]

Oh, I'’m glad
you like it.

He looks really happy now.

Come on. It'’s
time for us to
go to bed, too.

[Sighs]

Woman:
good night, clifford.

Man: good night, clifford.

Second man: good night,
clifford.

Second woman:
good night, clifford!

Third woman:
good night, clifford.

Fourth woman:
good night, clifford.

Clifford!

Clifford!

[Arf arf arf arf arf arf]

Come on, boy.

Time for a walk.

[Arf arf arf arf arf arf]

[Arf arf arf arf
arf arf arf arf]

[Panting]

Ha ha! Ok, ok.
Let'’s get this leash on you

And off we'’ll go.

[Sniffing]

[Thudding]

Coming through!

Excuse us, please!

No problem.

Have a good day.
Adios!

[All gasp]

[Cheering]

[Arf]

Uh-oh!

All right!
Hey, check that out!

Wow!
Wow!

Big dog.all right!

Sorry. I'’m walking
my dog, and he'’s--

He'’s kind of big.

He certainly is.

[Arf arf]

Wow!
Hey!
Ha ha ha!

You know,
a big dog like that
needs a big workout.

Does he like
to fetch balls?

Sure.

[Arf]

[Wondrous murmuring]

[Arf]

Wow!

Oh!

I guess they'’ve never
seen a big red dog
before, clifford.

[Arf]

Ok, kids, batter up!

Yay!
Yahoo!
Yay!

Yay!
Yahoo!
Yay!

Hooray!
Yay!

Yes!
Yay!
Whoo!

Wahoo!
Yay!

Yay!
Yay!
Yay!

Go, clifford!

Whoo!
Ooh!

[All cheering]

That'’s my clifford.

We went back
to that field
and played ball

Almost every day
that summer.

Remember, clifford?

[Woof]

It was really fun,

But all that growing
and exercise were really

Giving you
a big appetite.

We went to
the grocery store
almost every day.

Emily elizabeth?

Where are you, honey?

Ha! Here I am!

You know, I'’m beginning
to understand how
clifford must feel

Living in that
small back yard

With not
much room to move.

I'’ve been
thinking that, too.

As hard as we try to make
clifford comfortable here,

There'’s just too much of him
and not enough space.

Maybe clifford could live
in the baseball park.

Then he'’d have
lots of room

And we could build him
a great big doghouse!

Both: actually we had
something else in mind.

All the room you need
to be happy.

[Yawns]

[Yawns]

And I'’m pretty happy
here, too.

Good night, clifford.

[Snoring]

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

It'’s story time.

You want to hear
a speckle story,

Don'’t you?[Woof woof]

I thought so.
He'’s your favorite.

Emily, narrating:
today'’s story is
"speckle and the whole team."

"Speckle and his friends
were going to play one
of their favorite games,

"Volleyball!

"They found the perfect place
to set up their net.

"And then it was time
to choose teams.

"But with speckle, reba
and darnell on one side,

"And ravi and luna
on the other,

"The teams didn'’t seem fair,

"So they decided
to try again.

"And again.

"But no matter how many
different combinations
they tried,

"The teams were
always uneven.

"How could they play
so that the teams

"Would have the same number
of players, they wondered.

"Then, speckle thought
of a way they could all
be on the same team.

"And they found that
the best way to play
was together.

"The end."

That was a great story!

Isn'’t reading fun?

[Woof]

Ha ha!

Emily elizabeth: wow!

Jetta: wait till you see
my cute new sweaters,
emily elizabeth.

Hmm?

Huh?

Hmm. More texture.

Hmm. More color.

Hmm. No, no.
Too busy.

Oh, well.

I can'’t decide which one
looks best on me,

The blue one
or the green one.

What do you think?

[Grunting]

I don'’t know.

I kind of like
this pink one.

You like that?

Uh-huh. It'’s really cute.

Where'’d you get it?

Mmm, I don'’t
remember.

It'’s not really
my style.

Try it on
if you want to.

Ok.

Thanks.

Uh-uh. Not
like that.

Like this.

Oh, it'’s so cute!

[Woof]

Thanks.

Maybe I could
borrow it sometime.

You can have it
if you want.

Really?

Are you sure?

Sure. I'’d probably
never wear it anyway.

Wow! Thanks, jetta!

[Woof woof]

What do you think?

[Woof woof]

[Arr arr]

Good boy, mac!

Aw, you'’re the best
catcher in town.

[Arf]

Of course, it helps that
I'’m the best thrower.

Woman: jetta!

Can you come here
a minute, dear?

Now, don'’t forget, we'’re
picking grandma ethel up
at the ferry this afternoon.

I remember.
I can'’t wait to see her.

And she can'’t wait
to see you in the sweater
she gave you.

The sweater?

Well, you know.
The pink one with
the yellow flowers?

Ohh, yeah.

The pink one.

You can wear it when we
go to pick her up.

Uh...great idea, mom.

Oh, mac, I completely
forgot that grandma ethel
gave me that sweater.

What am I going to do?

[Arr arrr]

I'’m just going to have to
get my sweater back from
emily elizabeth, mac.

I mean, I know
how much she loves it,

And I know I gave it to her,

But I'’ll just take
that one back and I'’ll
give her this one instead

And everyone will be happy.

Right?

[Arrr]

Come on, clifford.

Give me a nice big smile.

Ha ha! Perfect!

Ok, charley,
let'’s brush!

That'’s not so bad now,
is it, clifford?

[Arr arr arr arr]

Hi, everyone!

Both: hi, jetta!

[Woof woof]

Eyeew, clifford!

Ha. Sorry
about that, jetta.

[Whimpering]

Oh, that'’s ok.

Ahh, I see you'’re wearing
the pink sweater,
emily elizabeth.

Of course.
It'’s my new favorite.

Thank you so much
for giving it to me.

It was really
nice of you

To give it
to her, jetta.

Oh, thanks.

But, you know,
now that I look at it....

I think it'’s really
the wrong color for you.

You look much
better in blue.

Oh, hey!
Why don'’t you
take this one instead?

Oh, no, thanks.
This one is perfect.

[Woof]

Ha ha ha!

Both: ha ha ha!

I think it'’s time
to rinse, charley.

Ha ha. Yeah,
I think so, too.

Well, that didn'’t
work, mac.

I guess it'’s time
for plan "b."

Thanks for offering
to get us ice cream, jetta.

Yeah, that'’s two nice
things in one day.

What'’s going on?

Nothing.

I just thought you might
like some ice cream.

I want chocolate!

Me, too!

Two chocolate
cones, please.

There you go.

And there you go.

Oops.

Oh, no!

The sweater!

Oh! I'’m so sorry.

It'’s all my fault.

Let me take it home
and clean it for you.

You sure are being
nice today, jetta.

Well, it really should be
cleaned right away

Or that stain will
never come out!

[Whimpering]

I'’ll take care of it.

Huh?

[Splash]

Ha ha! Looks like clifford
is going to take care of it.

Ha ha ha ha!

Whoa!

Thank you, clifford!

The stain is all gone!

Sure, the sweater is clean,

But we are all wet!

[Inhaling]

[Blowing]

Ha ha!
Not for long.

Ha ha. Not with clifford
the big red blow dryer.

Right!

Good old clifford.

Whoa!whoa!

Ha. Take it easy, boy!

[Woof]

Well, I guess it'’s
time for plan "c."

I have to get emily elizabeth
to take off the sweater

So I can hide it

And make her think
she lost it.

Maybe the hot sun
will make her
take off the sweater.

Hey, guys!

Let'’s swing!

Whee! I just love
swinging!

But it'’s really
hot out here,
don'’t you think?

I'’m going to
take off my sweater.

Don'’t you want to take
yours off, too,
emily elizabeth?

It isa little hot.

Here. I'’ll take
it for you.

Oh, never mind.

Clifford will
keep us cool.

Ha ha. Thanks, clifford.

[Woof woof]

Yeah, thanks,
clifford.

[Horn blowing]

Oh, no!
The ferry is here!

Oh, I guess I'’m
going to have to go
meet grandma ethel now.

Your grandmother'’s
coming in on the ferry?

Uh-huh. I better go.

I'’ll go with you!

No!

I mean, you don'’t
want to meet my grandma.

Hey, I'’ll
come, too.

Come on, clifford!

I don'’t think--i mean,
you don'’t really--

You guys don'’t--

[Stammering]

Oh, what'’s the difference?

Hi, mom!
Over here. Hi!

Hi!

Hi, grandma ethel!

Hello, dear.
Are these your friends?

Uh-huh. This is charley
and emily elizabeth.

Nice to meet you.

Hello.
Hi.

Why, jetta,
isn'’t this the pink
sweater I sent you?

Yougave this to jetta?

Yes, I'’m sure
that'’s the one.

It is, grandma,

But i--

It--but--well,
you see, i--

You what, dear?

She let me borrow it

After I told her
how much I loved it.

Here you go, jetta.

Thanks.

Thank you,emily elizabeth.

That was a very nice
thing to do, jetta,

But now let'’s see
how it looks on you.

Ok.

Oh, not like that,
dear.

Like this.

[Woof]

Thanks again,
emily elizabeth.

I really made
a big mistake

Giving away
that sweater,

But I completely forgot
that my grandma ethel
gave it to me.

It'’s ok, but you should'’ve
just asked for it back

Instead of trying
to trick me.

I know I should'’ve.

It would'’ve made
things a lot easier,
that'’s for sure.

Listen,
emily elizabeth,

I really want
to make it up to you.

What can I do?

Well...

Why don'’t you buy me
another chocolate
ice cream cone?

Ok, but are you sure
you want chocolate?

Chocolate really
isn'’t your color,
you know.

[Both laughing]

[Laughing wildly]

Can'’t get me!

Ha! Clifford'’s it!

Ok, I'’m it.

But first,
let'’s eat.

Emily elizabeth:
clifford and I both love
playing with our friends.

It'’s fun to be together,

Especially
when you share!

Having a picnic today
was a great idea, clifford.

Yeah! I brought a whole bag
of my favorite dog treats.

They'’re so-o-o-ogood.

Who wants to try one?

Clifford: I do!
Cleo: you bet!

Mac: me, too!

Mine are delicious,
too! Here.

Great! Looks good.

Yeah!

You guys have
to taste mine.

Thanks.

Mine are pretty
doggone good, too.

Aren'’t you going
to share, mac?

Oh. Ha ha. Yeah. Sorry.

Uh, try one of mine, guys.

Clifford: mmm! Thanks.

Cleo: ok.

You'’re right, mac.

Yum!

Emily elizabeth:
it'’s nice when you
share with your friends.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today

Is sharing.
