we're locked out of the house hello buddy have you finished your

breakfast what's the matter you're not still hungry

let's go outside and check your bowl perhaps you don't like your new dog food

[Music] what are we going to do there's got to

be some way we can get in

i must have forgotten to close all the windows this morning just as well you did Dad if Jess can get in so can I

Episode 2

you've eaten every scrap i'm not giving you any more Bonnie one

breakfast is quite enough for a little dog like you

m I love peanut butter i don't know how you can eat this stuff i'm a cheese and

pickle man myself come on Dad mom told us not to be late

oh now where did I put those keys [Music]

here they are Dad what would I do without you eh come on

i'll drop you off at school on my way to the post office

what's up Jess julian [Music]

hurry up Julian it's nearly 9:00 sorry Mr pringle bye Dad sorry Jeff sarah's

away for the night and we're running a bit late this morning got a dash bye no

problem Pat bye [Music]

morning Mrs gogggins sorry I'm late oh dear are you planning to send Bonnie

as a parcel oh no Pat but I am a bit worried about her she's lost weight

really well she seems lively enough why don't you get Amy to have a look at her

i could give you a lift if you like oh thank you Pat that's very kind

well there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Bonnie but she certainly has

lost weight is she eating normally well that's what's so strange Amy she ate every

scrap of her breakfast this morning and then came in begging for more

that is odd give us some more food at lunchtime and see how she gets on i'll call by later

to check how she is thanks Amy i'll do just that

[Music]

that's the lot for now Jess time for lunch

oh peanut butter i must have picked up Julian's lunchbox by mistake

which means that he must have got cheese and pickle

oh yuck oh well I suppose we'd better head back to the post office then i wonder how

Bonnie's getting along there you go Bonnie you'll never be

hungry after that lot hello Mrs gogggins how's the patient she seems fine Pat but

oh Bonnie well I never a hedgehog

so that's why you're so hungry are we hedgehogs been pinching your food

i'd better call Amy a hedgehog well that explains why Bonnie was losing

weight but we should take him out to the countryside Pat do you think you can catch him we'll certainly give it a try

Amy what should we do get a cardboard box with lots of fresh straw and air

holes and try and tempt him inside we could use some of Bunny's dog food he

certainly seems to like that good idea Pat i'll be over as soon as I finished work and we'll drive him out to the

country good luck thanks Amy bye

[Music] now all we've got to do is wait

[Music]

i don't think the hedgehog's very hungry not after all that

but what look [Music] there

quick before he gets away got him

hello Pat is this our hedgehog oh he's a sweet thing isn't he i wish he could

stay in my garden i know it's a shame but he'd be better off in the country

come on Mr hedgehog let's take you back where you belong

[Music]

here he comes [Music] come on Pat i'll drop you off back at

the post office [Music]

it's true Mom eggs dad found a hedgehog in Mrs gogggin's garden he was eating

Bonnie's dog food where are they no Mom we're fine

[Music] oh so he is a she

she's a mommy head tug and she's come back for her babies i'd

better call Amy again well Pat if our hedgehog's got babies we

mustn't move her again they'll have to stay in Mrs gogggin's garden i know

we could build a special hedgehog house to keep them safe

are some things we can do without mom's help yes some come on let's get this to

the post office oh it's perfect Pat oh I'm really

figle how about a great big fruit salad well that's a good idea Sarah m with

bananas and apples i know ted's still got that

food chopping machine out at the water mill i could pick it up on my round and drop it off here later well that'd be

champion come on we'd better start collecting that fruit if we're going to have a fruit salad cool

a picnic oh how lovely make a lemon cake

a big square one [Laughter] how about you make two cakes plenty for

everyone good idea AJ whoops i better take the rocket to Pencaster we'll be

running late otherwise see you later bye i I'd love to take some along what are

you bringing Pat something really special for AJ and the rocket a

fireworks display do you know where I could get some from there's a shop in

Pencaster sells them but how am I going to get to Pancaster and back in time to deliver all this post you don't have to

just inside [Music]

it's all sorted aj can pick them up from Pencaster Station on his final run in

the rocket won't it spoil the surprise if AJ sees the fireworks the shop said
