[Laughter]

[Woof]

Don'’t worry,
clifford.

We'’ll only be gone
for the day.

I'’ll be home
before you know it.

Good-bye!
Have a good time!

Have fun with
your babysitters!

Mom: good-bye!emily: bye-bye!

[Woof woof]

I just can'’t understand
why you agreed

To babysit for the big red
you-know-what, violet.

Now, horace,

Clifford'’s
a very nice
little dog.

[Panting]

Little?

Well, a nice
big dog, then.

[Woof woof]

I just don'’t think

You should be
babysitting, violet.

Well, actually, dear,

I'’m not babysitting.

You are!

Hmm? But--but--but...

Violet, no!

Today'’s the day
I'’m supposed to
paint my masterpiece.

That'’s nice, dear.

And to do that,
I need peace,

Not a...
Big red dog!

Well, I volunteered to help
at the library today.

You can paint
and watch clifford

At the same time.

Bye-bye, dear!

Have fun!

[Mocks] have fun!

Have fun?

How can anyone
have fun with--

Clifford.

I'’m gonna paint
my masterpiece today

And nothing--

[Woof woof]

Not even clifford
is gonna stop me.

You'’re just gonna
have to play quietly

By yourself, clifford.

[Woof]
whoop!

And that means
no barking.

Now, for
some orange,

Then blue.

Then some
nice yellow...

Green...

And here we go!

Clifford, do you mind?

You'’re blocking my sun.

[Whimper]

What the--

Clifford!

Look what you'’ve done!

Huh?

Ohh...

Now I'’m gonna have
to start all over again.

[Clifford whimpers]

Remember--no barking,
no scratching.

Ah...ah...ah...

Ah-choo!

Ohh! And no sneezing.

Ok, clifford.

There'’s plenty of room
for you to play in the park

While I paint.

[Squawk]

[Woof woof woof]

At last, alone
with my masterpiece.

Yes!

Yes. Yes!

Oh, this is brilliant.

Fantastic!

Pure genius.

Finished. Aha!

[Woof woof woof]

Well, come here and see
what I'’ve done, clifford.

[Woof woof woof]

Whoa.

Ahh...i think
it'’s my best work ever.

What do you think?

It'’s a tree, clifford.

A tree.

[Woof woof]

Oh, no, my painting!

[Whining] no.

No.

Oh, well,
it was just a tree.

The best tree I'’ve ever
painted in my life.

But just a tree.

Come on, clifford.

Let'’s go find
something else to paint.

Ok, clifford, you go take
a nice long swim

While I paint. Ok, boy?

[Woof]

Glug glug.
Have a nice swim.

Hi, mr. Bleakman.

What ya painting?

It'’s an ocean scene,
charley.

But I just can'’t seem to get
my water to look real.

Hey, there'’s clifford.

Come here, buddy!

No, no. Don'’t come here.

Heh heh. Hey, mr. Bleakman,

Now your water looks very real.

Yeah, very real.

[Woof woof]

[Woof woof woof]

Now, this is more like it.

With all this space
between us,

There'’s no way
clifford can disturb me.

[Sniffs]

What in the world...

[Grumbles] clifford!

Clifford!

Ohh...

Will you please dig...

Somewhere else!

It appears, clifford,

That the only way I will
ever paint my masterpiece

Is if you do not move--

[Woof]

A muscle.

Good. Very good,
clifford.

Ahh...

[Panting]

I said no moving.

That'’s better.

Uh-uh-uh-uh.

I saw that.

Hey, my hat!

My paints!

My masterpiece.

Come back.

Come back.

Clifford, help.

Aw, clifford, move.

[Woof woof woof]

Thank you, clifford.

You saved my painting.

Uh-oh! Clifford!

Help!

Whoa!

Whoa!

[Woof woof woof woof]

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa!

[Woof woof woof woof]

Wow, that was really something.

Uh-oh. Whoa-a-a-a!

Heh heh heh.

Hah hah hah hah.

Whoa! Glug.

Clifford...

[Whimpers]

That was...absolutely
the most fun

I'’ve had in years.

Hah hah hah hah hah.

Hee hee hee hee hee.

[Woof woof woof woof woof]

They were both here
when I left.

I just don'’t know
where they could be.

Gosh, I hope
they'’re all right.

Hello there!

Here we are.

[Woof]
heh heh heh heh.

Mr. Bleakman
is riding clifford.

Horace, is that
really you?

Yep. And just
wait'’ll you see

My latest
masterpiece.

Ahh, just look at this.

Emily: look at that!

Wonderful.

Well, dear,
it looks like

You actually had fun

With the big red
you-know-what.

Yes, I certainly did.

[Woof woof woof woof]

Ahem, but don'’t expect it
to ever happen again.

Oh, horace.
Ha ha ha ha.

Hah hah hah hah hah hah.

[Woof woof]

Well, maybe just one more time.

[Slurps]

Heh heh heh heh heh.
Cut that out.

Emily: clifford.

It'’s storytime.

You wanna hear
a speckle story, don'’t ya?

[Woof woof]

I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story
is"speckle and the windy day."

It was a windy day,
perfect for flying kites.

Speckle, reba, and ravi

Flew their kites
in the windy sky.

Suddenly, speckle was pulled
right up off the ground.

Off he sailed

Over the treetops.

Then he soared
past some geese

Who'’d never seen
a dog fly before.

Speckle was having
a very fun adventure.

At last, speckle landed safely
in a soft, green meadow.

Now he wanted
to stay on the ground

And fly his kite
with his friends.

So reba picked up
some stones

And tied them around
speckle'’s waist.

That helped speckle

To stay on the ground
with his friends

So they could all
fly their kites together.

The end.

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

[Woof]

Heh heh.

[Snores]

[Yawns]

Hey, it'’s saturday,

My day with sheriff lewis.

Bacon for breakfast...

Then off to the park
to play.

Then home again

To fall asleep together
in front of the tv.

[Snoring]

I love saturday.

[Arf arf arf arf]

Where is he?

Where'’s the sheriff?

[Arf]

[Arf arf]

[Arf]

Where could he be?

He'’s always in here
making breakfast

On saturday morning.

[Sheriff lewis whistling]

Here he comes.

[Arf arf arf arf]

Whoa there, buddy.

You ok?

[Arf arf]

I bet you were waiting
to have breakfast
with me, huh?

[Arf arf]

I'’m sorry, pal,

But we won'’t be able
to do that today.

[Whimpers]

Someone called in sick
this morning,

So I have to go in
and work for them.

[Whimpers]

You could
come with me, buddy.

Might be fun.

[Whimpers]

Ok, suit yourself.

I'’ll tell you what--

You and I will share
a special midnight snack

When I get back, ok, pal?

You have a great day
now, t-bone.

See ya later.

[Door opens and closes]

But we always spend
saturday together.

Ready, clifford?

Here comes the water.

[Woof woof]

[Humming]

[Woof woof]

[Giggles]

There. Now you'’re
the cleanest dog on the island.

Hah hah hah hah hah.

[Woof woof woof]

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Ok, now let'’s get you brushed.

This special brush
dad made for you

Is gonna make it
really easy.

[Woof]

Ok, clifford, up I go.

Ready, clifford?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Wow, look at poor clifford.

He'’s getting a bath today.

I sure would hate to spend
my saturday doing that.

Ok, clifford,
one last brush.

Whee! Ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha.

I love you, too, clifford.

But I have to go and get dressed
for soccer practice now.

We'’ll go to the park
when I get back, ok?

[Woof woof woof]

Hi, clifford.

Oh, hi, t-bone.

Sorry you had
to get a bath today.

My saturday
isn'’t working out
so great, either.

Oh, I love getting a bath
on saturday

'’Cause I get to spend time
with emily elizabeth.

Yeah, I guess that would
make it kind of fun.

So why aren'’t you
doing your usual stuff

With sheriff lewis today?

He had to go to work.

Oh. Well, hey,
you wanna play with me

Until emily elizabeth
gets home from soccer practice?

Ok.

Great. Let'’s go see
what'’s happening
around the island.

Ok, let'’s go.

Ok, son, watch this.

Wow. Teach me
how to do that, dad.

It'’s all in the wrist, son.

Hey, I didn'’t know
samuel and charley
worked on saturday.

Yeah. Looks like they'’re
having fun, doesn'’t it?

Ok, dad, here I go.

Uh-oh.

I got it.

Darn, I missed it.

Heh heh. Don'’t worry.
You'’ll get it.

It just takes practice.

Try again.

Ok.

[T-bone barks]

[Arf arf]

Hello, t-bone.

I think he'’s hoping
you'’ll miss.

No chance of that, t-bone,

Not with a great teacher
like my dad around.

Watch.

Got it.

Heh heh.
Good for you, charley.

I knew you could do it.

[T-bone barking]

[Woof woof woof woof]

Ok, ok. That'’s enough
applause.

You dogs better
run along now.

Charley and I have work to do,
right, charley?

Right, dad.

I can'’t believe how much fun

Samuel and charley
are having working together.

I guess anything is fun

If you'’re doing it
with someone you love.

Yeah. I wonder
what mac and jetta
do on saturday.

Hey, let'’s go see.

Huh? Wait.

Oh, I just love tea parties,
don'’t you, my dear?

Here'’s your tea.

Oh, silly me. I forgot
the cream and sugar.

I shall be
right back, dear.

Poor mac.

He has to spend his day
playing tea party with jetta.

Oh, I do look good,
don'’t i?

Though maybe I'’d look better
in the red hat.

Hello, mac.

Hi, mac.

Huh? Oh, uh,
I was just, um...

Mac, do you have to play
tea party with jetta
every saturday?

Well, this or something like it.

Whatever jetta
feels like playing.

Though I must say,

Tea party is one of my most
favorite games to play.

You like playing tea party?

Actually, I love it.

I get to spend time with jetta,

And there are other
good things about it, too.

Oh, mackie.

Here she comes now.

You'’ll see what I mean.

Here'’s the cream
and sugar, dear,

And a great big plate
of delicious tummy yummies!

Oh, I see some of your friends
have dropped by for a visit.

Would you like to stay
for some tea?

[Woof][woof]

How lovely.

Let me get you both
a hat to wear.

Perfect. Now you,
clifford.

There.

Oh, my dear,
you look adorable.

[Whimpers]

Ok, everyone,
let'’s have tea.

There sure are a lot of ways
to spend a saturday afternoon,

Huh, clifford?

Yeah.

Let'’s see what
cleo'’s doing today.

Ah-choo.

Looks like mrs. Diller
has a cold.

Poor cleo will have to spend
the whole day inside

Taking care of her.

Doesn'’t look like cleo
really minds.

They look really cozy,
don'’t they?

They sure do.

They usually go to the park
together on saturday.

But I think they'’re just
happy to be together.

Sometimes that'’s enough.

Clifford!

It'’s emily elizabeth.

She must be home
from soccer practice.

Go ahead, clifford.

I'’m ok.

We'’re going
to the park together.

You wanna come along?

Uh, no, thanks.

You should have
some special time
with emily elizabeth.

It is nice to be
just with her sometimes.

I'’m gonna go meet
sheriff lewis at work.

I think that'’ll
be a really nice way

To spend my saturday
with him.

Ok, t-bone. See you tomorrow.

Bye, clifford.

Hey, t-bone.

Come on out, t.

Clifford and I know

That it'’s important to have
friends you can count on.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today

Is be a good friend.

Hi, guys.
What'’s up?

We'’re going up
to the lighthouse.

It'’s gonna be fun.
Come on.

I don'’t
think I can climb to
the lighthouse today.

Huh?

What do you mean?

I hurt my paw yesterday,

And it'’s still
kind of sore.

But you guys go ahead
without me.

Gee, I hope you feel better
tomorrow, t-bone.

Come on, clifford.

Wait, cleo.

It wouldn'’t be very nice
to leave t-bone here all alone.

You'’re right, clifford.

Why don'’t we stay here
and play with him today?

Then we can
all go together tomorrow
when his paw feels better.

Great idea, cleo.

That'’ll be great, guys.
Thanks.

Having good friends
makes everyone feel great.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today

Is be a good friend.
