All:
Esme and Roy!

Esme:
"Top Dog."

Roy:
Come on, you can do it!

Roy, What are you doing?

I'm trying to balance
these pillows on my head

while standing on one foot.

- Ooh, that's tough.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

But if anyone can do it,
you can.

Steady...

easy does it...

Wha--!

- [ crash ]
- [ Roy groans ]

- [ giggles ]
- I guess I didn't do it.

But you did make
an amazing pillow fort!

Hey, you're right!

Oh, thanks, Esme.

[ monster-case playing ]

[ gasps ] We've got
a monster to watch!

[ stops playing ]

- All right!
We're watching Simon!
- Yay!

[ dings ]

[ honks ]

- Let's go!
- Whoo-hoo!

Simon, here we come!

- [ honks ]
- Hello!

Here we are. Simon's house!

Roy:
Race you to the doorbells!

- [ doorbells ring ]
- [ laughing ]

Esme! Roy!

Come in!

Come in, come in!

- [ Roy laughing ]
- Esme: Whoa!

Esme! Roy!

- Hi, Simon!
- Hey, buddy!

[ barking ]

Sit, Willie, sit.

We're happy
to see you, too.

[ laughing ]
Willie!

Come on! I have something
I want to show you.

Grammy and I went

to the Monsterdale
Dog Show yesterday

and saw dogs do
all kinds of tricks!

There was a dog that jumped over
a picnic table.

- Esme: Whoa.
- A dog that rode a skateboard.

- Roy: Wow!
- One dog even did a backflip!

I want to teach Willie a trick
so he can be in

the next Monsterdale Dog Show.

[ barks, snores ]

- Think you could help me?
- Of course!

That's what monster-sitters
are for!

Swazoozle!

I can't wait to see
what you come up with!

And now...

I'm off to my cooking class!

We're making swoozleberry pie.

- Esme: Bye!
- Bye, Grammy!

Love ya!

Come on! I know the first trick

I want to teach Willie.

I want to show Willie
how to jump over a picnic table!

But I don't have
a picnic table.

That's OK. Maybe
there's something smaller

he can jump over--
like that stool!

- [ barks ]
- Oh, good idea!

OK, Willie.

Jump over the stool.

Willie. You're supposed
to go over the stool,

not under.
Hee hee ha!

[ snoring, muttering ]

I don't think I've ever seen
a dog fall asleep so fast.

But he didn't jump over
the stool!

Maybe Willie will do
the trick

if you hold a treat
on the other side.

Great idea!

Willie loves treats!

Willie!

- [ rustling ]
- [ Willie grunts ]

Here, boy!

Jump over the stool
to get your treat!

[ grunts ]

Jump over.

[ sniffing ]

- [ grunts ]
- Willie.

Whoa, you weren't kiddin'.

He really loves those treats!

But he still
didn't do the trick.

Maybe Willie would be better
at a different trick.

Let's see...

[ gasps ] We can teach Willie
to shake hands!

- Perfect.
- Let's do it.

- [ snores, grunts ]
- OK, Willie.

When I say "shake,"
you shake hands like this.

Go ahead, boy. Shake!

Ruff!

- Whoa!
- Willie,

not that kind of shake!

I wish one of these dogs
could show Willie what to do.

[ whispering ]

We may not have
one of those dogs,

but we have something
even better!

- Doggie Roy!
- Woof! Woofity-woof!

Ta-da!

- Hi, Doggie Roy.
- [ laughs ]

Come on! Let's show Willie
how it's done.

Here, Roy! Shake!

Woof!

Look at me.
I'm shaking hands!

Woofity-woof!

Good boy!

You get
a meatball treat!

Mmm! Mmm!

Now it's your turn, Willie.

Shake just like
Doggie Roy did.

Come on, boy, shake!

This is not good.
Not good at all!

If we can't teach Willie
a trick,

he'll never be in
the Monsterdale Dog Show.

It's OK, Simon.

There's still lots
of other tricks
we can teach Willie.

♪ There are hundreds of tricks
that you can do ♪

♪ From jumping through hoops,
to swimming in goo ♪

♪ And if you follow me ♪

♪ I'm sure that you'll agree ♪

Both:
♪ We'll find the perfect trick,
just wait and see ♪

♪ You can ride
on a skateboard ♪

♪ And zoom through
the streets ♪

♪ What do you think, Willie? ♪

♪ Hey, don't eat
all the treats! ♪

♪ You can sit,
you can stay ♪

♪ You can stand
on the ground ♪

♪ Cut it out, Willie,
stop shakin' around ♪

- ♪ You can jump over a log ♪
- ♪ Paint a green bullfrog ♪

Both:
♪ Play the tuba, dance a jig,
or be a DJ dog ♪

[ Willie ruffing ]

♪ You could give a high-five ♪

♪ Or catch a long stick ♪

♪ Run through a tunnel
and give a ball a kick ♪

♪ Here it comes ♪

All:
♪ It doesn't really matter ♪

♪ What you choose
or what you pick ♪

♪ 'Cause all we're really asking
is please ♪

♪ Just learn a trick ♪

[ snoring ]

That's it!

I've tried to each Willie
every trick in the book--

even tricks that aren't
in the book!

And it's no use!

[ sniffling ]

Willie will never
learn a trick

for the Monsterdale Dog Show.

[ crying ]

Uh-oh. Monster-meltdown.

Hey, Simon, I know
you're feeling sad,

but it'll be OK.

♪ Take a deep breath ♪

♪ Put your hands
on your tummy ♪

- [ inhales, exhales ]
- ♪ Feel your belly
rise and fall ♪

♪ In through your nose ♪

♪ Out through your mouth ♪

♪ It's not hard at all ♪

[ blows nose ]

Thanks, Esme.

It's just, I wanted Willie

to be in
the Monsterdale Dog Show

so everyone could see
how special he is.

But I guess
it'll never happen.

Aw. Simon's still so sad.

I wish there was a trick
we could teach Willie.

- [ snoring ]
- It's too bad napping's
not a trick.

Willie's really good
at that.

Wait a monster-minute!
That's it!

Simon, Willie may not
be able to do tricks
like those other dogs,

but there are lots of tricks
Willie's already great at!

Really? Like what?

Like finding dog treats.

- And being fluffy! And--
- [ snoring ]

And napping.

I guess he is good
at all those things.

Yeah. That's what makes Willie
so special.

How about we make
our own dog show

for all the tricks
Willie does best?

Yes, yes, yes!

Then get ready, guys--

it's playtime.

[ music playing ]

[ toys squeaking ]

Here we are, folks,

the first annual
Swoozle Backyard Dog Show!

And look! Here come
our first contestants--

Simon and his dog Willie!

- [ barks ]
- [ giggles ]

And here comes
their competition,

Doggie Roy!

Woofity-woof!

The dogs will complete
in three events,

and then our judges
will decide the winner.

The first event will be...

napping!

When the whistle blows,

the dogs will race
to get in their beds.

And the first dog
to fall asleep... wins!

- [ Willie barking ]
- Woof. Woof.

On your mark, get set...

[ panting ]

[ blows whistle ]

- And they're off!
- Go, Willie, go!

OK, beddy-bye time.

- [ Willie snoring ]
- Wha--?

This is amazing, folks!

Willie's in his bed
and fast asleep!

Yay, Willie!

The next event will be
the Fluffy Fur Challenge!

Both dogs will shake,

and whoever has
the fluffiest fur, wins!

OK, Roy.
You're up first.

Come on, fur.

[ blabbers ]

Fluff! Fluff!
Am I fluffy?

Not really, big guy.
But it was a good try.

Now let's see
how Willie does!

All:
Yay!

Good boy, Willie!

And now, the final event...

treat-finding!

The first dog
to find three treats...

wins!

You can do this, buddy!

You're the best
treat-finder I know!

Doggies, on your mark,
get set... [ blows whistle ]

- Ruff! Ruff!
- Yay!

Treats! Where are you, treats?

Esme:
Roy is looking
behind a tree...

under a rock,

and around
Grammy's rose bushes.

But he hasn't found a treat yet.

Let's check in and see
how Willie's doing.

[ sniffing ]

Esme:
Willie found one...

[ munching, gulping ]

[ sniffing ]

...two...

...three treats!

And wow,

he just found the entire
bag of treats behind me!

Good boy, Willie.

And now,

the moment we've all
been waiting for.

Which dog will win the trophy?

Let's find out.

Thank you.

And the winner is...

- Who will it be?
Who will it be?
- [ barking ]

[ gasps ]
Willie wins!

- Yay!
- All right! You did it, Willie!

Good boy!
Hee hee!

Well, Esme,
you've done it again.

Playing dog show
really showed off
what Willie's great at.

Yeah, he sure is
a special dog.

[ laughs ]

I knew you could
do it, boy.

[ munching ]

[ all laughing ]

Esme:
"Picture Day Predicament."

[ humming ]

Hey, Roy. Check it out.

I got a surprise for you!

[ gasps ]
What is it? What is it?

[ gasps ]
A shoe? A banana?

[ gasps ] A banana shoe?

Wait! I want to take
a picture of you

when you open it.

Ooh! Come on, come on!

You can wait.
Don't open the box.
Don't open the box.

- OK, Roy, you can--
- Open the box!

[ camera clicking ]

A meatball? Just what
I always wanted!

[ munches, gulps ]

Seriously. I always
want a meatball.

- Thanks, Esme!
- Anytime.

[ monster-case playing ]

[ gasps ]
We've got a monster to watch!

[ stops playing ]

It's Tillie!
And we're taking her
to school!

Yes!

[ dings ]

[ honks ]

[ both giggling ]

- Whoo-hoo!
- Whoo-hoo!

Here we are.

- Oh, boy.
- [ giggling ]

I can't wait to see
little Tillie.

Oops. Sorry, Mr. Plink.

Come on in!

Tillie's almost ready.

Oh, Tillie?

Look who's taking you
to school today.

Esme! Roy!

Roy! Esme!

- Yay!
- [ all laughing ]

- Aw.
- Hi, Tillie.

[ giggles ]

Whew! All done
brushing your pigtails.

Wow, Tillie seems
extra-fluffy today.

That's because
it's School Picture Day,

so it's important that Tillie
stays nice and clean.

We don't want a repeat
of last year.

Or the year before that,
or... [ laughs ]

the year before that.

[ laughing ]
What is that?

That Tillie!
[ giggles ]

Monster-fact
number 573:

Little Plink-monsters
love to get messy.

Uh-huh!

Well, don't worry,
Mr. Plink.

We'll make sure Tillie
stays nice and clean
for Picture Day.

Thanks, guys.
I knew I could
count on you.

Bye, Tillie.

Daddy's off to
an important monster-meeting.

- Beep, beep!
- Bye, Daddy!

Beep, beep!

OK, Tillie.
Let's get you to school.

Whoo-hoo! Yay!

Hoo hoo hoo hoo!

Tillie gonna take a picture,

and Tillie's pigtails
gonna be so pigtail-y.

And Tillie gonna smile
like this.

Cheese!

[ gasps ]

- Uh-oh.
- Slime sprinklers!

Tillie love slime sprinklers.

- Yay!
- Both: Aaah!

[ giggling ]

Slime, slime, slime!

No!

- Phew!
- Ohh.

Tillie want
to play in slime.

Well, at least
it's not my Picture Day.

Brrr!

[ sighs ]

I know you like the slime,
Tillie,

but you need to stay clean
for Picture Day.

[ sighs ]

Psst! Esme.

How are we gonna get Tillie
past those sprinklers

without getting messy?

Hmm.

Maybe we can turn it
into a game!

Hey, Tillie.

Wanna play
Red Light, Green Light?

[ gasps ] Tillie play!

Great! Here are the rules.

When I say "Green Light,"
you run as fast as you can.

But when I say "Red Light,"

you freeze.
Are you ready?

Both: Ready!

- OK. Green Light!
- Run!

[ all laughing ]

- Red Light!
- Freeze!

Whew.

Green Light!

[ all laughing ]

Red Light!

[ whispers ]
It's working!

We're almost there,

and Tillie's still clean!

Green Light!

All right! We made it.

Tillie went zoom
past sprinklers!

You sure did.

Now come on. We've gotta
get you to school.

I just hope we don't
pass anything else messy.

Aah!

Yay!

Tillie's school is just
on the other side of this--

[ gasps ] No!

Don't worry, Roy.
It's just mud.

Just drippy, gloopy,

muddy... mud.

I think it might be easier
to bring the school to Tillie.

Tillie want to play

in mud!

Mud, mud, mud!

Tillie! Red Light!

Roy, she's not
Red-Lighting!

Not again!

[ Tillie laughing ]

[ squeals ] Aw.

Tillie want to play in mud.

I know you do, Tillie,

but we have to keep you clean
for Picture Day.

Remember?

[ Tillie sighs ]

Tillie remember.

Psst. Roy.

How are we gonna get Tillie
across this muddy field?

Um...

How about a monster-back ride?

Monster-back ride!

Good idea, Roy!

Tillie won't be able
to play in the mud
from up there.

- OK, Tillie. Here we go!
- [ Tillie laughs ]

[ squishing ]

Tillie love mud.

Tillie want to play in mud!

Whoa! Whoa! Tillie,
I can't see!

Whoa! Uh-oh.

Whoa!

Whoa-oa!

Well, that could
have gone better.

Tillie, I know
you really want
to play in the mud,

but you need to wait
until after Picture Day.

But waiting so hard!

Tillie love mud!

Tillie want to jump
in that mud,

and that mud, and that mud!

Tillie want to jump
in all the mud right now!

Tillie will try

But Tillie still want

Tillie love mud.

There's no way
Tillie will be able

to stay away
from this much mud!

Hold that thought.

What'll we do?
What'll we do?!

Hold that thought again.

I wish we could
make staying clean
fun for Tillie.

Wait a monster-minute!
That's it!

Maybe we can make
going around the puddles

as much fun as
jumping in them!

- We can do that?
- Yeah.

We can build an obstacle course
to get around the mud!

[ gasps ] Tillie love
obstacle course!

Then get ready, guys.
It's playtime.

[ laughing ]

Got the pool noodles.

These hoops will come in handy!

Esme:
Just need to put them
here and...

- Is it ready yet?
- It's ready!

Tillie Plink, take a look
at your very own...

Both:
...obstacle course!

- Wow!
- Yeah. It's good.

OK, Tillie,
here's how you do it.

First, you walk across
the balance beam,

then you jump over the hurdles,

and last, you hop
through the hoops!

And then, you win!

Tillie ready!
Tillie ready!

Me too! Me too!

Then on your mark,
get set...

Go!

Hey! Wait for me!

Keep mud away on Picture Day.

Keep mud away
on Picture Day.

Go, Tillie!

Here I come! Whoa!

Keep mud away on Picture Day!

Keep mud away
on Picture Day!

You're doing great, Tillie!

Keep mud away on Picture Day!

Keep mud away
on Picture Day!

- You did it!
- Yay!

[ both laughing ]

The obstacle course
kept you so clean!

Look! No mud anywhere.

Tillie clean
for Picture Day!

Whoo!
That was totally...

awesome!

- Can we do this every year?
- Sure!

Now, who's ready
for their school picture?

Tillie!

- Come on!
- Yay!

Let's go!

[ school bell ringing ]

Tillie, your picture
looks great!

Thank you!

Tillie very clean.

And guess what?

Now that your picture's done,

your dad said you can...
get muddy!

Can Tillie get muddy now?

Both: Now!

Whoo-hoo!

[ laughing ]

Now, that would make
a great picture.
