So what's the new situation going to be like, Katie?
Ohh... They are not happy with the dog at all.

I smell something unpleasant.
Rocky rolled around on some dead fish by the lakeshore.
Ew! How did that happen?
He wasn't on a leash.
Oh...
I'm going to have to give him a bath.
Not in our bathtub! Use the garden hose!
I know. Can you get me the doggy shampoo, Jenny?
Okay.
No! Rocky, stay!
Oh, don’t … Layne, Rocky is tracking mud all over the house!
Sorry!
Oh, me too.

They're both sorry.
All right. He should be on a leash.
He should be on a leash.
Yes.

Well, this time they are senior citizens.

Layne! Layne?
Uh? Hi Jenny. I was taking a catnap.
Oh, Rocky shredded a roll of toilet paper!
Oh, no. Raising a puppy is a lot of work!
You must be dog-tired.
Yeah… Rocky's late-night outdoor potty trips are wearing me out.
But he is worth it.
You said it.
Come here, Rocky. Rocky, come here.
We love you.
I love you too.
Ohhh...
You guys. You've been so nice for 100 years.

Happy family.
Yeah. Is he taking a catnap or a dognap or... ? Very happy. Oh, here's a question, quick question.
Uh-huh.
Yes.
Question…. Do you ever take a nap?
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Oh, you do too.
Ofen.
Often. Oh!
I love my catnaps. I've loved them since I was a kid.
Is that right?
Yes.
Wow.
And I sleep on the train.
Oh my goodness.
Anything moving, I miss my stop half the time.

How about you, Ken?
Yeah, I can sleep very well on a train or on a bus.
You and me both.
Yeah, I like that kind of sensation.
Yeah.
Rocking, you know, that movement.
Yes.
Really. So I could call it carnap or busnap ...
Or trainnap?
Trainnap.

Well, that's about it for today, so until next time.
Keep listening.
Keep practicing.
And keep on taking a catnap.
Yes.
And smiling
Bye!

Their family is getting bigger.
You are right.

So Katie, what's the new situation going to be like?
Oh my goodness. They are little children.

                                        • -


Don't step on that box.
Uh? What have you got in there?
It's an orphaned kitten. Take a look.
Wow. It's so fluffy! Where did you find it?
In the bushes.
Rocky, meet your new feline friend. Oh-huh. It's hissing at Rocky!
Careful, careful, the kitten might scratch him.
It's climbing up my pant leg. Ow! It has sharp claws!
Ah, it thinks you're a tree!

Under the spreading chestnut tree. Ouch!

That was great. Nothing, nothing ever pleases me than this new situation that you do especially when you play little children.
Yeah, little children are delightful.
Nothing, nothing ever pleases me more than that.
Or when we sing.
Oh my goodness.
Sometimes when we sing.
Oh, the singing is great, too. You're right. Here's a question.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
Have you ever picked up an orphaned kitten, Jeff?
Yes.
Not a kitten. Chipmunks.
Chipmunks! Wow.
Orphaned chipmunks.
I didn't expect that.
What did you do after you picked it up?
We raised them.
You did.

Yeah, all five of them and then we let them go into the wild.
You mean five of them?
Yes, we had five.
You mean you picked five orphaned chipmunks?
Babies. Yes, they were babies.
Oh, my goodness.

So I have a question.
Yes.
After you released them, did you ever see them again?
Never saw them again.
Didn't they come back to your kitchen or anything?
No, we released them up in the mountains. So we never saw them again.
I see.
Yeah.

So Jeff...
Yes.
Something scary this way comes or...
No, not so scary.
No?
No.
So what's the new situation going to be like?
This time they are ninjas.

We need a litter box and a scratching post.
Speaking of scratching, something bit my ankle, and it itches.
That's a fleabite. I told you Rocky has fleas.
No, he doesn't.
Yes, he does!
No, he doesn't! It's that kitten!
Okay, truce!
You can't handle a truce.
I can. C-A-N, can.
All right, all right. Should I get flea shampoo?
Just get a flea comb. Some flea products are toxic to kittens and puppies.
Got it. I'll be right back.
Bye.
I'm back.
What took you so long?
My apology. I have no money and a flea market was not free.

Oh, that's an old joke.
Oh, wow. Flea market was not free?
Free.
Oh, yeah.
Flea.
Yes.

You're back so soon, so quickly.
I... Well, ninjas are fast, they’re quick.
Yeah. That was speedy.
They talk fast too.
Yes.

Wow. So some flea products are toxic to kittens and puppies.
Yes, you have to read the label and make sure that you get the right one.
That's a good idea.
You know, I like gardening, so I know that some herbicides are toxic to animals and humans. Well, time to say goodbye.
No, we still have more time.
No, we don't.
No, we do. We still have time.
We don't, Jeff.
Yes, we do.
Okay, truce.
All right.
