oh brother i like your snake it's kind
of like a big hug

the snake okay yeah would it be worse
if your dad danced at school

both of those things would be kind of
embarrassing and they both sound bad
yeah okay

supermarket

or at sea

rainy day and
i'm afraid we made a mess

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]

have to
