Waffle's Visit Waffle the Wonder Dog

# Oh, Waffle Oh, Waffle

# Leaping around like a...frog

# I just want to say one thing

# You're such a clever dog

# So many nights we're awake

# When you're woofing WOOF!

# We still love you Everybody!

# Waffle doggie

# Waffle doggie

# Waffle doggie

# You're such a clever dog Such a clever dog, you are

# Oh, oh, oh, oh

# Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. #

All summer, whatever Waffle was doing,

he kept an eye out for George the cat.

-George play.

-MEOW

-Gorgeous Georgie.

-WOOF!

Oh, that dog.

Oh, Waffle.

If Mrs Hobbs knew how better behaved you've been lately,

I'm sure she'd let you be George's friend.

Yeah. We should take Waffle round to Mrs Hobbs' house

so she can see for herself what a good dog he is.

-See George, see Hobb-bobs.

-That's a great idea!

-WOOF!

-George, George!

Waffle, you're going to have to be on your best behaviour

-if we go next door now.

-OK.

You'll have to promise not to speak in front of Mrs Hobbs.

Mrs Hobbs is not going to like a talking wonder dog.

Oh.

-You can speak to say you promise, Waffle.

-Promise.

-Good boy.

Right, let's go.

Oh, in fact, I've got an invention.

It will help us win over George and Mrs Hobbs.

You, Waffle, will be in Mrs Hobbs' good books

by the time Evie gets home.

Evie's going to be so proud of you.

WAFFLE LAUGHS

Yes? Hello? Who is it?

Hi, Mrs Hobbs. It's the Brooklyn-Bells.

Your neighbours.

Waffle's owners.

-What's that dog done now?

-Oh, nothing...

-..I don't think. We just wanted to say hello.

-Hey.

-DING!

-My oven.

I have to see to my biscuits, Jess. Come in, I suppose.

But, all of you, wipe your feet ten times on the mat first.

ALL: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

-And you, Waffle.

-OK.

-Shh, Mrs Hobbs hasn't seen you yet.

Three, four...

Oh, go on, it doesn't matter.

-These are my own special recipe.

-Ooh, can I have one, please?

No, Mr Brooklyn-Bell, they're cat biscuits -

mashed pumpkin and kelp flavour for my George.

-Oh, here he comes.

-MEOW

My gorgie Georgie. There you are, darling.

WOOF! WOOF!

It's that dog! What's he doing in here?

We brought Waffle round so you and George can get to know him better.

Once you do get to know him, you will like him.

-Just give him a chance.

-He already likes you.

The only way I'd like that dog is if he turned into a cat.

WAFFLE MEOWS

SIMON LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

Meow, yummy cat biscuits. Meow.

Waffle, you promised, no talking.

-And no meowing either.

-Go on, then.

Have this biscuit. Just stay quiet.

Time for pussycat treaty-eaty-pops.

No, dog, do not eat those biscuits on the floor. They're for Georgie.

Come here, Waffle.

Sit. Sit.

And paw.

He's like a different dog.

Hang on, he's not a different dog, is he?

No, Mrs Hobbs.

He's our Waffle the Wonder Dog.

And since Waffle is a dog who likes cats,

I've invented something so that George will like Waffle in return.

This is Woof-cat, my cat-friendly dog invention.

It's designed so that cats can get used to dogs.

-Why don't you show George?

-I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Look, George, it plays a nice calming lullaby when you press...

LOUD MUSIC PLAYS Argh!

-WOOF! WOOF!

-Oh, it's no good.

My poor George is a nervous wreck with all things doggy.

Sorry, George. I just need to adjust the volume.

It's all here in my dog log.

This week alone, Waffle chased George eight times.

That's cos Waffle wants to be friends with George.

Then there are my slippers.

He chewed four pairs in the past week.

He can't control himself!

Look.

See how he ravages them.

Amazing.

He really is controlling himself. How did you do it?

-You really have taught Waffle how to behave.

-Oh...

-It was...

Where are my manners? Come and have a slice of cake.

Sit in the other room and you can tell me all about training Waffle.

Good boy, Waffle. I knew you could do it. Come on, boy.

But Waffle didn't follow us. He wanted to find George.

Wow. George?

George, where are you, George?

-George!

-MEOW!

-Oh, hi, George.

-MEOW

-GRUMBLING

-Noisy tummy?

MEOW

-Oh, poor George.

-GRUMBLING

My tummy is noisy too. Bad biscuits.

-I'm so pleased you've finally got Waffle under control.

-Thanks.

Look at him there on Douglas' knee.

-WHISPERS:

-Where is Waffle?

-I don't know.

-WHISPERS:

-Simon. Simon, where's Waffle?

-WHISPERS:

-This is fantastic.

I used to like dogs, you know, a long time ago,

but I went off them.

-More cake?

-Oh, yes, please.

Thank you.

-Oh, um...

-Look at him still sitting there good as gold.

MUSIC PLAYS

-That's not Waffle!

-No. No, it's not.

-Where is Waffle?

-We don't know.

He's probably just having a look around upstairs.

Georgie! Georgie, Mummy's coming! I'm coming!

-Waffle!

-Waffle, no.

-Georgie, I'm here.

WOOF! Wow, this is an amazing George room.

Yes, it is, but look at my gorgie Georgie.

-What has that dog been doing to you?

-MEOW

-PFFT

-Ugh. Was that the dog?

WAFFLE WHINES

I think he's a bit poorly, aren't you, Waffle?

-MEOW

-And so is George.

-Would you like me to take a look at him?

-Oh, of course, Jess.

Oh.

Come on, then, George. Let's have a look.

-What is it, Georgie?

-GRUMBLING

-If only you could talk.

-I can talk, Hobb-bobs.

-Noisy tummies, biscuits.

-What?

-Your bad biscuits.

-That dog can talk!

-Yeah. Hello.

That dog is a freak of nature. Out! Out, all you Brooklyn-Bells.

Take that dog away from me, away from us!

Sorry. Sorry again, Mrs Hobbs. Sorry!

# Da-doo, da-doo And you found us. #

So how do we think that went, then?

-Hmm.

-Hmm. PFFT

-Yes, Waffle, I couldn't agree more.

-GRUMBLING

You really aren't well, are you, Waffle?

Actually, I think that was me.

Oh! There was definitely something wrong with those cat biscuits.

And those cakes! I need to lie down.

-Oh, me too.

-Oh!

-WAFFLE WHINES

-DOORBELL RINGS

-I'm home!

-Oh, Doug, could you let Evie in, please?

-OK.

-Hey!

-Thanks!

-Bye!

-So what did I miss?

-Well... WAFFLE WHINES

-Waffle, is that you?

-WOOF!

WAFFLE WHINES

Good boy. You're going to be OK. Good boy.

Oh, I feel ill.

The best way to take your mind off how rubbish you feel is

-to think about something else.

-That's right.

So I've invented the Take-your-mind-off-it-atron.

Whenever you moan... SIMON MOANS

..like now, you can take your mind off it

by pressing the Take-your-mind-off-it-atron.

MUSIC PLAYS

What is 15 + 72 - 49

multiplied by 31?

I think I can do that one! Right, where's a pen and paper?

And for you, Waffle, the George-a-nometer,

so you can play with George without going next door.

-MEOW

-It's me, George.

-MEOW

-Play with me, Waffle.

-MEOW

-Oh, I love it, Doug. I love it.

So Waffle was feeling a little bit better, but it wouldn't last long.

He was going to get into a whole lot more trouble

with Mrs Hobbs, as you will see.

1,178.

-That's the answer.

THEY LAUGH

Good boy, Waffle.
