there was a very clever cat."

Not as clever as you of course.

But I guess he was pretty clever.

Anyway... "One day, the cat asked his master for a pair of boots!"

- Woof?

Woof?

Big Dog wants to act out the part of Puss in Boots for you.

That's so cute!

"The cat's master "gave him a pair of boots.

'Just call me Puss in Boots' said the cat."

- Woof!

Woof!

Woof!

- You're an awesome Puss in Boots, Big Dog!

Don't you want to hear the rest of the story, Cat?

Cat didn't want to play or exercise, and now he doesn't want to read his favorite story.

Something's definitely up with Cat, and I AM TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

Big Dog's right, I should count backwards from five to calm down.

(gasp) - Oh no, he didn't!

You don't calm Peg down when she freaks out; I calm Peg down when she freaks out.

That's my job!

- Whoa!

Big Dog, would you mind waiting outside while I talk to Cat?

- Woof!

(Big Dog panting) - Cat, do you think now that I'm friends with Big Dog, I like you less?

- He makes you laugh more than I do with his hops, makes you cheer more with his hoop de loos, and with everything he does.

- Aw, Cat... - May I?

You used to like me this much, but since you met Big Dog, you only like me this much.

And you like Big Dog THIS MUCH!

- Cat, there are a lot of things that can be compared on a graph, like the number of hops or the number of "ha"s, but my feelings for you can't be compared to my feelings for Big Dog or anyone else.

If there's three of us playing together or a hundred and three, the way I feel about you is always exactly the same.

- It is?

- You're totally special to me, Cat always and forever.

- Good!

- You want to come back out and play?

- I need to think about something.

- Okey doke.

- Woof-woof!

- Don't worry, Big Dog.

Not everyone can shoop-a-doop, and that's totally OK. - May I?

- Woof!

- You can use your nose to toss the balls up.

- Cat, you showed Big Dog how to shoop-a-doop.

- That big guy will be a super "shoop-a-dooper".

- Bar graphs helped us compare our scores and helped me explain my feelings to Cat.

- Math really saved our big day with Big Dog.
