(children chattering)

- What do we do now?

- I don't know.

- How about follow the leader?

- Nah, I don't wanna play that.

- I wonder if Barney knows any other games.

- [Children] Hey, Barney!

- Hi, everybody.

What are you doing?

- We don't know, we can't decide.

- Do you know any games we can play?

- Well let's see.

Oh, there's leap frog.

And jump rope.

That's always fun.

- Oh, look!

- Or tiddly winks.

Or duck, duck, goose.

And tag.

Hey, where did everybody go?

- [Girl In Red Shirt] Oh, cool dog!

- Can we pet her? - Sure.

- Hi, Barney.

- Oh, well hi, Susan.

- Hi guys. - Hello.

- Oh, is this your dog?

- Yep, her name's Pilgrim.

- Oh, hi pretty, Pilgrim.

- Man, she's awesome.

Wish I had a dog like this.

- Well, would you like to watch her

while I mail these letters?

- Would I?

That'd be great!

- Thanks. I'll be right back.

- No hurry, take your time.

- [Barney] Bye, Susan.

- Heya, Pilgrim, how are you girl?

Oh, she sure is a great dog.

Isn't she, Barney?

- Oh, she sure is. (gentle synthesizer music)

And if she could talk she'd probably say the same about you.

- I'm back, how was Pilgrim?

- Oh, she was terrific.

- Oh, good.

Well, we have to run some errands.

See you later!

- [Everyone] Bye!

- Bye, Pilgrim.

- Ooh, ooh, ooh, I've got an idea.

What if we bring our own dogs to the park

and we can have a pet show.

(children chattering)

- We can have a super-dee-duper dog show!

- Oh, oh, oh and we could have a doggie parade!

- And we can dress them up for a costume contest.

- Then we can pick the best one of all.

- That might be hard to do.

I'm sure they're all winners.

- We'll let you decide.

You can be the judge.

- Okay, that'll be tee-rific!

Oh, and I'll give out the prize.

- Come on, let's go get our dogs.

- [Baby Bop] There's gonna be a prize.

- Well, sissy, looks like we're the only ones without a pet.

What are we gonna do?

- Uh, I have a doggy.

- You do?

- Ah huh, and wait til you see him, he's so cute!

I'll be right back, don't go away.

- [Barney] Okay.

- Barney, guess I'm the only one without a dog.

And I'd sure like to have one.

- I know it can be hard when you really want something, BJ.

- Yeah, I'll say.

Boy, I wish I had a dog! (upbeat dance music)

- [Barney] Oh, it'll be okay.

Okay, we're all set.

Welcome everyone, to our dog show!

(cheering)

Now, let's see the dogs.

- This is my dog, Chula.

(clapping)

- [Barney] Hi, Chula.

- And this is, Flash.

- [Barney] Flash. (clapping)

- And this is my dog, Cocoa.

(clapping) - Hi, Cocoa, so pretty.

- And this is good ol' Lucky.

(clapping) - Go get 'em, Lucky.

- And here's my dog, Fluffy.

(laughing)

- Well, that's an unusual dog.

- Yes, 'cause it's invisdible.

That means you can't see it 'cause it's pretend.

Oh, whoa, heel boy, heel!

- Well, as official dog show judge

I think it's time to see the tricks the dogs can do.

(happy flute music)

♪ You don't have to be a cute ball of fuzz

♪ To do all the tricks my doggy does

♪ Let's all bark ruff, ruff because

♪ It's fun to do the tricks my little dog does

- That was tee-rific!

- Now let's get ready for the costume contest.

(children chattering)

- Oh man, I wish I had a dog.

- What's going on, Barney?

- We're having a dog show.

- Oh, what fun.

But you know, I saw BJ over there

and he was looking a little sad.

- I'm afraid he is.

He wishes he was part of the show

but he doesn't have a dog of his own.

- Aww.

Well maybe I can help.

Hi, BJ!

- Hi, Susan, hi, Pilgrim.

- You know, I was wondering if you would like to

enter Pilgrim in the show for me.

- Really?

You mean it?

- Sure.

- Oh thanks, I'll take real good care of her.

- Oh, I know you will.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Gotta dress her up a little.

There you go, Pilgrim.

- [BJ] Aww, good, Pilgrim.

- Come on everyone, find a seat.

Okay, now it's time for the costume contest.

(cheering)

First we have Rachel and Chula in basketball jerseys.

And Olivia and Flash are dressed like ladybugs.

(clapping)

Ava and Cocoa are pretty ballerinas.

(clapping)

Ryan and Lucky look like they're going fishing.

(clapping)

And here's Baby Bop and her invisible dog

with matching bows.

And last but not least, Bj and Pilgrim with matching caps.

- Hi guys! (cheering)

- Now it's time for the last part of our show.

The big parade of dogs.

Oh boy, oh boy!

(upbeat music)

♪ The parade goes marching by

♪ Every dog is going to try

♪ To be the best one in the show

♪ They're keeping up the pace

♪ With a very happy face

♪ As they march, march, march to and fro

♪ They all seem like they're winners, yes indeed

♪ We're having lots of fun

♪ We just can't wait to see

♪ Who the best in show will be

- Okay, Barney, who wins the very best dog of all?

- Well, let me add up the scores here

and average out the average and

well, now how about that.

- What is it, Barney?

- Well, it looks like all the dogs are winners.

And that means, first place for everyone.

(cheering)

- [BJ] Thanks, Barney.

- Pilgrim had a lot of fun, BJ.

- She's a really great dog.

- She is.

And she sure likes you.

Maybe I can bring her to to the park sometime

and you can play with her.

How'd that be?

- That'd be fantastic!

- Thanks for taking such good care of her.

- Oh, no problem.

- Thank you all for sharing your dogs with us.

Our pets are our friends

and a friend is a very special thing indeed.

- Good throw, Tracy.

- Thanks, Barney.

- Here you go, Ryan

(duck quacking)

- Oh, what's that Mrs. Duck?

(duck quacking)

You wanna go for a swim?

(duck quacking)

Oh, yeah, sure.

Go right ahead!

I'll watch your eggs for you.

(splashing water)

- Sorry!

- Oh no!

That was close.

Barney, that ball almost landed in the nest.

- Oh, I'm very sorry, Riff.

- Oh, that's okay.

Just be careful.

- Oh, look at the eggs!

- [Girl] Wow, cool!

- Yep, they're duck eggs.

I'm watching them while the mama duck goes swimming.

- That's a very nice thing to do, Riff.

- Oh, thanks, I was happy to help.

That's what friends do, right?

- [Barney] Right.

- Just put this over, oh, sorry folks.

You'll have to go around.

Duck eggs, see?

Thank you.

Taking care of these eggs is a lot of work.

- Oh, you brought your guitar.

Are you going to play it for the ducks?

- Yep, thought I'd play a little lullaby for the eggs.

Now, I have been practicing every day

so I hope it sounds okay.

- Okay.

(gentle guitar lullaby)

(cheering)

- Shhh.

Thank you, but don't wake up the eggs.

- How can you tell they're sleeping?

- Well, I can't.

But I imagine they are.

Let's step back a minute, okay, come on.

- Oh, Riff, they're very lucky

to have a special friend like you.

- Oh, thanks, Barney. (mid-tempo music)

- Bye guys. - See ya later.

- Oh, I better make sure the eggs are still okay.

- Okay, I'll come with you.

- How do they look, Mrs. Duck?

(duck quacking)

Oh, she says they're fine.

Well, I think that's what she said.

(duck quacking)

Oh yeah, they're fine.

Oh boy, I can't wait to see the baby ducks.

- Baby ducks are called ducklings

and they're very cute.

They look a lot like grown up ducks but smaller.

(duck quacking)

They'll have two wings.

A tail.

And a long bill.

- Oh, will their feet look like the mama duck's?

- Well, they sure will.

Duck's feet are webbed.

They have a little bit of skin between each toe.

- Oh, they sort of look like paddles.

- Yes, they do.

- They use those paddles to swim.

There she goes.

Back for another swim.

Do you like to play in the water?

I know I do.

Splashing in water can be great fun.

- Hey, Barney, I just thought of something.

- Oh, what's that?

- Well, when the ducklings hatch they're going to be hungry.

- Oh, you're right, Riff.

We can go to the caboose and find something for them to eat.

- Do you think they'll be all right when I'm gone?

- Oh, I think so.

Mrs. Duck is here to watch them.

- Well, okay.

- Okay, let's go get that food.

- All right. Bye Mrs. Duck.

- Hi, BJ. - Hi, Beej.

- Oh, hi, Barney, hi, Riff.

- What are you doing?

Oh, hey wait.

Let's see if I can guess.

You're wearing a fishing hat, vest,

you're holding a long pole.

Hmm, are you going fishing?

- That's right!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.

Where are you planning on fishing?

- In the pond, I guess.

- No, no, no, not in my pond.

I mean, not in the duck's pond.

Oh, you might disturb the duck eggs.

- Duck eggs, cool!

No problemo, Riff, I'll go somewhere else.

- I never thought about fish in the pond.

I hope they don't bother the ducks.

- I think they'll be okay, Riff.

Ducks swim on top of the water

and fish live under the water.

Let me show you.

Come over here. - Okay.

See, Riff?

Fish and ducks both like to swim

and they both have tails.

- Except fish don't have feathers.

- That's true, and they stay under the water.

So they won't bother the ducks at all.

- [BJ] Look at this one.

I like that cool color.

- [Riff] I like the big one.

- Hey, did I ever tell you

about the last time I went fishing?

- No, Beej, I don't think so.

- Well listen up 'cause this is no fish story.

- That was tiffity tough, thanks, Beej.

Now, am I forgetting something?

- I think you were going to get some food for the ducklings.

- Oh, the ducklings!

Oh, I better go check on them.

Oh, sorry, Beej, I don't have time for fishing now.

Gotta go, gotta go.

Oh no, oh no, no, no.

- [BJ] Hey, what happened to the eggs?

- [Riff] They're broken. All of them.

- What's wrong?

- What's going on?

- The duck eggs are broken.

- I never should've left.

I should've stayed right here with them.

- Riff.

- Oh, it's all my fault.

- Riff, I think there's something you should see.

(ducklings chirping)

- [Riff] Aww, baby ducks, where'd they come from?

- The eggs weren't broken, they hatched.

- Wow, look at them!

- [Barney] I think they're saying,

thank you for watching over them.

- [Riff] You're welcome.

And they already know how to swim.

- [Barney] They most certainly do.

- Bye, bye. - See you later.

- I guess we won't need these anymore.

Oh, and the baby ducklings won't need me anymore.

They'll be grown up before you know it.

And they'll fly away to start families of their own.

- Yep, I hope so.

- So, what are you gonna do now

that the ducklings have hatched?

- Well, oh, I know just what to do

if you still have time, Beej.

- Oh, what's that, Riff?

- I wanna go fishing.

- Oh, you got it!

Let's go get some fishing poles.

- That's a great idea.

- [Both] See ya, Barney!

- Bye, bye, see ya later, bye.

Riff found out that taking care of animal friends

can be a lot of work.

But helping our friends is a great way to say, 'I love you'.
