[Children laughing]
Grrr!
Grrr!
Ok, ok, clifford.
I give.
Whoa-oa-oa oh!
Grrr ruff!
Come on, boy.
Bring me back
the sock spider.
Ruff!
Here you go, boy.
Fetch!
[Sighs]
Grrr!
Ah, yes!
This is the best toy
ever, ever, ever!
Hey, daffodil,
wanna play?
With that thing?
No, thank you.
All right.
Grrr ruff!
Boy, am I pooped!
So I guess you
and emily elizabeth
Spent the whole afternoon
Playing with
the sock spider again.
Gosh, daffodil, you
should've played.
I had so much fun!
R-r-r-ruff!
Well, good for you. Hmph!
Unh--unh!
Daffodil,
is something wrong?
No.
Does your tummy hurt
or something?
No.
Do you need a nap?
I will in a minute,
Since you're wearing me out.
Aw, sorry.
I just thought you seemed
maybe a little upset.
No, I'm fine.
It's nothing.
Nothing as in
really nothing?
Nothing as in nothing!
Fine, if you
really want to know...
I'll tell you.
It's--
It's the sock spider.
The sock spider?
I just--i cannot stand being
in the same room with it.
It's--it's grubby
and drooly and--and...
Well, it's not even
a real toy, is it?
It's not?
It's just--it's just a bunch
of stinky old socks!
Hunh!
Oh!
[Sniffing]
Eeh.
It always seemed like
a real toy to me.
Hey, what's up there,
my little redness?
Hiya, norville.
Ho oh, ho, wait a minute.
What's the long face
there, pally?
Well, I just found out
that my favorite toy
in the whole wide world
Isn't a real toy at all.
You mean...
Uh-huh, the sock spider.
Holy tamoly, I'm glad
I got here when I did,
'Cause this is serious.
This is very, very serious.
All right. Well, there
is only one thing that
you can do with a toy
That is nota real toy.
What?
Well, you get rid of it.
That's what you do,
you know.
Get rid of it?
The sooner the better,
'Cause you got to put it
where emily elizabeth
will not find it
So that she will get you
a real toy to play with.
Oh, well, I could
never do that.
I love my sock spider.
If you go 'round
playing with a sock spider,
People will think that you
don't know up from down
Or top from bottom
Or a real toy from, um...
You know, a thing
pretending to be a toy.
Well, if you really
think so, norville.
Do I think so?
I do, I do, I do.
Now, believe me, little red,
this is for your own good.
Well, I'm off.
Have a good time
there, clifford.
Yeah.
Bye, norville.
Well, for once, that bird
is actually talking sense.
Do you think I should
hide the sock spider, too?
I think you should've
hidden it weeks ago.
But better late
than never.
But where?
Norville says it's
got to be somewhere
Where emily elizabeth
will never find it.
I'm sure you'll
think of something.
Uh, maybe
I'll hide it under her bed!
Oh, no, that's
too easy!
It's way too easy.
I'm sure she'll
find it there.
Well, how about
the living room?
Yeah! There's some
great hiding places there!
Now you're using that
little puppy head
of yours.
Maybe I should just
tell clifford the truth.
The problem isn't
the sock spider.
[Sighs]
I should really tell him.
On the other hand...
Maybe if the sock spider
goes away,
The problem will, too.
Yeah.
Clifford, nina and I
finished our homework.
There you are, boy.
[Giggling]
Wanna play
tug o' w*r?
Grrr yip!
Hey!
Ok. Where's
the sock spider,
clifford?
[Whimper]
Oh, I get it.
You want me
to look for it.
Let's see...
Did you hide it
behind the couch?
No, it's not behind
the couch.
I know!
Maybe it's underthe couch.
No, it's not under
the couch, either.
You sure are great
at hiding things,
clifford.
Ruff ruff ruff.
But I wonder what
thatcould be.
I forgot to check
under the pillow!
Here I come, clifford!
Ruff ruff.
I'm gonna get
the sock spider!
[Telephone rings]
I bet that's nina.
I'll be back
in a minute, clifford.
[Ring]
Oh, now where
can I hide it?
Ahh.
Ohh!
Emily elizabeth will never
find it there.
And now I'll play
with a realtoy,
Not just a bunch
of leftover socks.
Grrrr!
Ruff ruff ruff!
[Squeak]
[Squeak squeak]
Ruff ruff...ruff...
[Whimpers]
Ohh...
This real toy isn't
really so much fun...
Not without
emily elizabeth.
Nothing's any fun
without emily elizabeth.
Wait a minute!
Emily elizabeth!
That's it!
Daffodil!
Daffodil, guess what?
I was playing with
a real toy,
And I thought
it would be really fun,
but it wasn't!
Um...gee.
Congratulations?
Thanks! Ha ha!
Isn't it great?
It's not the toy
that matters...
It's emily elizabeth!
She's the one
who matters!
I know.
You do?
Of course I do!
Toys are fine.
But being with
emily elizabeth
is what's special.
Are you ready to play
hide and seek
With the sock spider
again, clifford?
Ruff ruff.
I found it, thanks to
your clues, clifford!
It's ok, clifford.
I know it was an accident.
I'll just go get a rag,
and we can clean it up.
Ruff!
Hmph!
Daffodil,
are you upset
Because I'm playing
with the sock spider
again?
'Cause if you're really
bothered by the way it smells,
I guess I could
try and wash it.
No, clifford,
it's not really the sock
spider that matters.
Huh?
I guess I'm just
feeling a little jealous
Of you and emily elizabeth
Spending
so much time together.
Without me.
But I asked you to play.
I know. But I'm not good
at those sock spider
games.
I just don't know
where I'd fit in.
Oh...just forget it.
I never knew daffodil
felt left out.
Oh, I feel just awful.
Daffodil, daffodil!
I know the sock spider's
grubby and drooly
and everything,
But it's terrific
for hide'n seek,
And you're great
at hide'n seek.
Come on,
play with us, please?
I don't think so,
clifford.
But it's really
a fun game.
But it's your game--
yours and emily elizabeth's.
I should have found
a way to include you before.
I'm sorry.
But if you play with us now,
Then the game will belong
to all three of us.
And you know
you're the best seeker ever.
Well...of course,
that's true.
There we go!
Clean as a whistle.
Daffodil, are you gonna
play with us, too?
I know you don't
usually like games
like this,
But it will be
much more fun
if you join us.
Ruff!
Ok, you two,
I'm gonna hide
the sock spider now.
So, no peeking.
So, will you play
with us, daffodil?
Will ya?
Well, not if you
don't close your eyes.
You heard what
emily elizabeth said--
no peeking.
Ok!
Ok!
Ok, you two.
Let's see if you can
find that sock spider.
You're getting
warm, clifford.
Oh, no. Now you're
getting cold.
Oh, now you're
freezing!
Good, daffodil!
Ruff!
Clifford!
Where are you, boy?
Ruff ruff!
Wanna read
a story, clifford?
Ruff!
Ok. Pick one out.
Thanks, clifford.
This looks like
a great story.
Today's story is
"speckle and the fairy tale."
Speckle and his friends
were reading a great story.
It was a fairy tale
about a beautiful kingdom
And all the princesses
and brave knights
who lived there.
It looked like so much fun
That speckle and his friends
decided to dress up
Like they were
the characters in the book.
But what could they wear?
King speckle made a crown
out of an old newspaper.
Queen reba found a beach towel
that made the perfect cape
And decorated her hair
with a beautiful chain
of wildflowers.
With his sand pail
and flying disk,
Sir darnell was ready
to fight a mighty dragon.
Then princess luna
and prince ravi
Pretended that ordinary brooms
were majestic horses
And raced each other
around the palace.
It was so much fun,
They played for
the rest of the afternoon.
The end.
I love reading stories
together.
You know, clifford,
for such a small dog,
You sure are a big reader.
Ruff!
Clifford!
It's time to go
to the dog run.
Ruff ruff!
Ok, clifford.
Pick one toy
so we can go to the dog run.
Mom's waiting.
Ooh...hmm...
Oh...
Ah, what's up there,
little pup?
Oh, hi, norville!
I got a problem.
There's so many toys
I'd like to take
to the dog run, but--
Hold it.
Wait a minute.
Let me guess.
You can't decide
which toy to bring.
Right! Well, super sam,
my stuffed bear,
Doesn't leave the house.
But choo choo loves it
when we play dog splash
in the fountain
With my dalmatian.
Hester and I had
The greatest game
of peanut tug-of-w*r
last week.
And jorge, he likes
the knobby ball.
You just answered
your own question.
It is the dalmatian.
You think?
Oh, yeah, listen up
there, puppy.
See, jorge plays
with that knobby ball
every day.
You did the peanut
thing last week.
That peanut thing--
it is so last week.
So I definitely say
the dalmatian is definitely
the way to go.
Ha ha! You're right!
Thanks, norville!
Hey...it's what I do.
Look at jorge.
He can't wait to play
with his new toy.
Here, jorge.
Let me help you
with that.
Ruff, ruff,
ruff ruff ruff!
[Giggles] I think
he likes it!
Thanks for taking us
to the pet store, mom.
Well, I thought
it was about time
for a new toy.
Here, boy, see?
It's a squirrel
holding an acorn--
Mr. Squirrel squeaks!
[Squeak squeak]
Ruff, ruff, ruff!
And his little acorn
jingles!
Hear it?
[Jingling]
Ruff, ruff,
ruff-ruff-ruff!
Catch, jorge!
Ruff, ruff!
Hey, my friends!
Uh-oh.
They're all gonna wanna
play with my new toy!
But I haven't even had
a chance to play with it
by myself yet.
[Whimpers] oh...
Look, clifford!
Your friends
are already here!
Ruff!
Well, go on, boy.
Ruff ruff!
I know! I'll give
my squirrel to nina
to hold.
[Squeak]
Hi, emily elizabeth.
Oh, hi, nina!
What's that, boy?
You want me
to throw it for you?
Ruff!
Ha ha. Ok. Here you go.
Right toward your friends.
Wow!
Hmm. I guess
we're done with
the squirrel for now.
Oh, there you are.
Oh, yeah!
All ready to play.
Ha ha! Great!
I brought the dalmatian.
Choo choo
has his flying disk,
And hester brought
mr. Slipper.
Hey, what was that thing
nina threw to you?
When?
Just now.
Just now?
What happened?
Nina threw something?
Did I miss it?
No, it was
a minute ago.
Was it your toy?
Ho ho! Nah, no, no,
no!
That was a, um...
A new collar
nina bought me.
It didn't look like
a collar.
Hey, come on, guys,
are we gonna play
disk toss
Or just talk about
my collar all day?
Ha ha! Disk toss!
Throw it over here!
Hey, it's mine!
Come on, guys!
Whoo! Yeah!
Whoa, boy!
Come on, clifford.
I'll race ya!
I got it!
I got it!
[Both barking]
Ha ha!
Oh, clifford!
Nina: you silly dogs.
[Squeak]
Ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff.
Here, I'll throw it, boy.
Get it, jorge!
Jorge?
Jorge!
Jorge?
I don't think
I've ever seen a dog
do that before.
I don't know what's
gotten into him today.
What's jorge doing?
Is it just me,
or is he acting
kinda weird today?
He seemed fine
when we were playing.
I'll go get him.
Leaving this toy with nina
is too risky.
I'd better find
someplace to hide it.
Ah, there you are!
Come on.
Choo choo and hester
are waiting.
For what?
I don't have a toy!
Uh--i mean, sure.
Let's get back
to the game,
little buddy.
Jorge,
is something wrong?
W-wha-wrong?
What could be wrong?
You know, I'm kinda tired
of the disk toss.
Ok. What else is there
to play with?
I brought mr. Slipper.
But, you know,
flinging it around
Never ends up being
much of a game.
Ok! So that brings us
to clifford's toy, right?
All right! Dog splash.
Who's in?
A little problem, jorge.
Hester's not supposed
to get her paw wet.
Why's that?
I twisted it last week.
It doesn't hurt anymore,
but my bandage
can't get wet.
Ok, so I guess
you'll just watch.
Whoopee!
Jorge, you know
how it works.
Either we all play
or we don't play at all.
You're the one
that made that rule up.
If hester can't get
her paws wet,
dog splash is out.
Oh, sure, right.
Yeah, I don't know
what I was thinking.
So, let's see.
Flying disk.
Slipper.
Dalmatian.
That leaves your toy,
jorge.
What did you bring?
Oh, i...i brought
a, uh...
Uh...[Groans]
Well, you did
bring something,
didn't you, jorge?
Oh, sure, I brought
something.
Or at least...
I thought I did.
And, wow, it was
really a great
something, guys,
But it's, uh...
It's gone!
Gone? Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
He's hiding
his toy!
No, I'm not!
It's another one
of jorge's games!
Just like when
he hid his ball!
And his flippy-frog.
Ok, whoever finds jorge's toy
Gets to play with it
first!
[Gulp]
Play with it?
So what are we
lookin' for?
Nothing. No looking!
Oh, come on.
Just give us
a tiny hint.
Is it bigger
than a bone?
Smaller than
a dog biscuit?
Uh, s-see, guys, i--
Oh! I got a big idea.
I bet it's under
that bush where
I saw you digging!
What? Why didn't you
say so?
No! Wait!
Stop!
I mean it!
What is it?
Huh...it's nothing.
It's just...
You don't wanna
get all dirty, do ya?
Why would we care
about getting all dirty?
Yeah, we love
gettin' dirty.
That's one of
the reasons
We come to
the dog run in
the first place!
You know that,
jorge.
Oh, right,
sure, hester.
Of course I do.
In fact, I'll just
go get the toy myself
So I can be
the dirtiest of all!
[Squeak]
[gasp]
Cool! It's a squirrel.
Wait!
We need to
go over the rules.
Rules?
There's rules?
Oh, yeah, sure.
Important ones.
Number one--
you can't throw
my squirrel,
Because the jingle bell
might come out.
Ok. No throwing.
Ah, ah, ah.
See how delicate
the little acorn is?
You really don't
wanna bite it there.
In fact, better
not to chew it
at all.
The colors might,
you know, rub off.
So...no chewing either.
Well, how do you
play with it?
Well, you...
You just...
Look at it.
Jorge, if you didn't
want us to play
with your squirrel,
Why'd you bring it
in the first place?
Just to tell us
not to touch it?
That's not very nice.
Yeah, it's not nice
at all.
Come on, guys.
Oh, it's ok, jorge.
No, it's not!
I'm sorry, clifford.
I'm just not ready
to share
the squirrel toy,
But I know I should,
and I feel really bad
about it.
Hey, where are you going?
I just figure nobody
will wanna play with me.
But we do wanna
play with you.
Hester, choo choo,
come here a second.
Yeah?
What's up,
clifford?
Ok, here's
the whole problem.
The squirrel is new.
Brand new.
Oh!
Oh, it makes
perfect sense.
It's a special toy,
right?
Look, I've got
a squeaky rag doll
You guys have
never even seen!
And I never let
anybody else drool
on my rainbow ball.
What about my stuffed
bear, super sam?
He never comes
to the dog run.
I wouldn't want
anything to happen
to him.
So...you guys aren't mad?
Nuh-uh. We totally
understand.
But next time...
Maybe you could
just say your toy
is special.
Yeah, jorge.
It'd sure save us
a lot of time
If you'd just say
you didn't feel like
sharing.
Oh. Ok.
I can do that.
So why don't you
take your squirrel
back to nina,
Then we can play.
Ruff ruff ruff ruff!
So...who wants to play
freeze tag?
Hester: I do, I do!
Choo choo:
I love freeze tag!
Clifford: jorge's it!
[Laughing]
You can't catch me!
You can't catch me!
Ruff!
It's always fun
to play with your friends.
Good kick, jorge!
[Laughing]
Throw it over here,
clifford!
No, over here!
But sometimes when you play,
It's not so much fun
for someone else.
Shh! The little ones
are asleep, clifford.
Mr. Starsky: I'm afraid
all of this noise
will wake them up.
When that happens,
it's time to show
some respect.
We're sorry,
mr. Starsky.
We forgot it was
their nap time.
Hey, why don't we take
the game outside?
[Yelling, laughing]
Playing out here's
a lot more fun.
Having respect
isn't hard at all.
Clifford and his friends know
that being considerate
of others
Is really easy,
And it can make
a big difference.
That's why clifford's
idea to grow on for today
Is have respect.
