00:01Martha was an average dog.
00:04She went muck and muck and muck.
00:06But when she ate some alphabet soup,
00:08then what happened was bizarre.
00:10On the way to Martha's stomach,
00:12the letters lost their way.
00:14They traveled to her brain and, oh!
00:16She's got a lot to say.
00:18Now she speaks.
00:20How now, brown cow?
00:21Martha speaks.
00:22Yeah, she speaks and speaks and speaks and speaks and speaks.
00:25What's a caboose?
00:26What are we eating again?
00:27Martha speaks.
00:28Hey Joe, what do you know?
00:30My name's not Joe.
00:31She's not always right, but still that Martha speaks.
00:34Hi there!
00:35She's got a voice, she's ready to shout.
00:38Martha will tell you what it's all about.
00:40Sometimes wrong, but seldom doubt.
00:42Martha will tell you what it's all about.
00:44That dog's you.
00:46Testing, one, two.
00:47Hear her speak.
00:48Martha speaks and speaks and speaks and speaks and...
00:51Communicates, enumerates, elucidates, exaggerates,
00:53indicates and extricates,
00:55hyperventilates.
00:57Martha to reiterate Martha's speech.
01:00Martha speaks.
01:01And now for the Martha report.
01:03Today we look at words like outgoing and self-confident.
01:06My colleague is incorrect.
01:08Today's words are words like timid and bashful.
01:11It's pretty impulsive to come out here without knowing which words we're doing today.
01:15Like impulsive for instance.
01:16Today's words are words like kind and sweet.
01:18Nasty.
01:19I'm sorry?
01:20Nasty.
01:21It's one of the words.
01:22And shallow and vicious.
01:23Sweet.
01:24Vicious.
01:25Sweet!
01:26It's the News Fairy!
01:27Relax, you two.
01:28You're both right.
01:29Just watch.
01:30People are safe.
01:33I know.
01:34That's really good.
01:36Oh there I find an awesome job.
01:37One of the nights.
01:39You were totally very awesome.
01:41Always a young boy.
01:42People have a good day.
01:43I know no of the nights.
01:44Your little mitigate my head.
01:45Ever since the time.
01:46You wake up and roll!
01:47rzy my head and a coffee.
01:49Too much for cooling off.
01:51Your little running to sleep.
01:52Critical.
01:53Hello?
01:54How long before Tiffany Blatsky's pool party?
01:57One day.
01:59That's one day too long.
02:01I know.
02:03Hey, did you see she's having a floating ice sculpture this year?
02:06And a band!
02:07And a slushy machine!
02:09I'm so hot I may sit in my bathtub till then.
02:13Ugh, what a horrible idea!
02:15Hold on, someone's beeping.
02:17Hello?
02:18Hey, Truman laminated...
02:20Do you have a cold?
02:21No way.
02:22Truman laminated some playing cards.
02:25We're gonna sit in a baby pool and play Go Fish.
02:28Wanna come?
02:29Martha?
02:30Sounds risky.
02:32Is there shampoo involved?
02:33I don't think so.
02:36We're in!
02:37We'll be right over.
02:48Hey, watch it!
02:52Hours of entertainment.
02:54How is this different from a bathtub?
02:56It's a different sort of experience altogether.
03:00How?
03:01It's water from a faucet in a round thing.
03:05Don't ruin this for me, okay?
03:07Give me all your twos.
03:12Go Fish!
03:17Where's Alice?
03:18On her way.
03:19Give me all your sevens.
03:20Go Fish!
03:21Hey, guys!
03:26Sorry, I'm late.
03:28I ran out of sunscreen.
03:30You couldn't use some of ours.
03:32Mm-mm.
03:32I have to use the special brand because I'm so fair-skinned.
03:36I get such bad sunburn.
03:38Anyway, the store didn't have my brand, so I went to another store.
03:42They didn't have my brand, either, so I went to another store.
03:46Whoa!
03:48Ow!
03:49Stingy!
03:49Stingy!
03:51Finally, I found it.
03:54They changed the color of the tube, though.
03:57You are obsessed with sunscreen.
04:00I have to be because of my complexion.
04:03Complexion?
04:04Never heard of it.
04:05Complexion means the color of your skin.
04:07Wahoo!
04:09I'm so fair-skinned, I bet I could get burnt just thinking about sun.
04:13I'm fair, but I don't usually burn if I put on sunscreen before I go out.
04:17It's not just fair-skinned that gets burnt.
04:20I have a dark complexion, and I sunburned.
04:23Really?
04:24Yeah, it is no fun.
04:26Tell me about it.
04:27Once, when I was little, Ronald and I were playing at Dog Head Lake.
04:32Aw!
04:33I didn't notice anything wrong, until I got home.
04:39Ow!
04:40Stingy!
04:41Stingy!
04:42Alice?
04:43Didn't you put on sunscreen?
04:45Mm-mm.
04:47I had a t-shirt on.
04:49Ow!
04:50Ow, ow, ow, ow.
04:53Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
04:57Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
05:03You got sunburned through a shirt?
05:06That's right.
05:07Since then, I never go out without sunscreen.
05:10It's just too owie.
05:13Uh, you just finished doing that.
05:15Well, it might have washed off in the sprinkler.
05:17Again?
05:22Eh, I might have sweated off.
05:30Don't tell me you ate it off.
05:32I'm not the sort of kid who takes chances.
05:35Duck! Duck! Duck!
05:38Whoa! Alice?
05:41I know, I know. I use a lot of sunscreen.
05:45No. You better go inside.
05:48What? Am I red?
05:50Not red, exactly.
05:52Pink?
05:53No. Uh, not pink.
05:56Well, what? What color am I?
05:58Sort of a bronzey...
06:00Browny...
06:01Orange!
06:03Ah!
06:06You look fine to me. Of course, I can't see color.
06:11This is the worst sunburn ever!
06:14I'll say. Not only are you sunburned, your shirt is too.
06:21Hmm. It's not sunburned.
06:23It's not?
06:24It's dye.
06:25She's gonna dye?!
06:27No! Oh, no! No! No!
06:31No!
06:33Not D-I-E. D-Y-E. Like the stuff you use to color Easter eggs.
06:40Didn't you read the label?
06:42Isn't it my brand?
06:43Yes, but it's a self-tanning sunscreen.
06:46It has a chemical that dyes your skin.
06:48Who would want to dye their skin orange?
06:51I think that only happens if you use too much.
06:55How do I get it off?
07:06Rub harder!
07:08Sweetheart, I think it's going to have to wear off.
07:11But, Mom, I don't have time! Tiffany Blatsky's pool party is tomorrow!
07:16Ah!
07:17Oh, honey, it's not that bad. Why, I bet no one will even notice.
07:22Holy cow!
07:24My sister looks like a traffic cone!
07:28Oh, no!
07:31Alice! Oh, come back!
07:33Yeah! I want to get a picture!
07:36Not going to Tiffany's party? But, Alice, you have to!
07:41I can't. I'm just feeling too timid.
07:44Timid? You're not timid. Timid means you're shy.
07:48You're the least timid person I know. You're very outgoing.
07:51Yeah, well, looking like a walking carrot kind of zaps the old confidence.
07:56Smile!
07:57Ah!
07:58Rats. Blurry. Could be a sunset.
08:03Okay, we need ideas. Tiffany's party is tomorrow.
08:06We've got until then to get Alice's complexion back to normal.
08:12I brought you some of my Mom's body scrub.
08:15Removes old skin and produces a fresh, dewy glow in minutes.
08:21Well, how do I look?
08:24Uh, like a fresh, dewy orange?
08:28Ah!
08:30Grr! Too much flash. Makes her look peach.
08:35My grandma says lemons fade freckles. The way I see it, your skin is like a bunch of big orange freckles that grew together.
08:42Not helping. Sorry.
08:44No, I mean the lemons. They're not helping, are they?
08:49No. But you smell zesty.
08:53Alice, are you sure?
08:55Mm-hmm.
08:56Do you know how rough those things are?
08:58They're, they're worse than sandpaper.
09:00Mm-hmm. Just do it.
09:10Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Gross! Ugh! Crop tongs! Crop tongs! Ugh! Ew!
09:16Ugh! I can't watch.
09:21But, I can clean up!
09:26If that didn't remove the dye, nothing will.
09:29Too bad Tiffany's not having a party just for dogs. It's all black and white to us.
09:33That's it! We've been going about this all wrong. Instead of trying to remove the dye, we should just make Alice look as if she looks like everyone else.
09:43Uh, she would look like everyone else. If she wasn't orange.
09:48Yeah. But I'm talking about a way where you don't have to get rid of the orange.
09:53What?
09:54Dog Vision Sunglasses.
09:57Dog Vision Sunglasses?
09:59Dog Vision Sunglasses. When you wear Dog Vision Sunglasses, you see everything in black and white.
10:07We go to Tiffany's, see? And we dance around. All outgoing and friendly. It's the same thing.
10:15What?
10:16Outgoing and friendly. They're the same. Outgoing means you're very friendly and like to meet people.
10:22It's not very friendly of you to point that out right now.
10:25Sorry.
10:26So, we're all being outgoing. And when no one's looking, we switch the regular sunglasses with our Dog Vision Sunglasses.
10:35Then Alice shows up and no one notices she's orange. Because with their Dog Vision Sunglasses, everything is black and white.
10:45Cool!
10:46Tidi, do those sort of glasses really exist?
10:50No.
10:51But it'd be nice if they did.
10:56Too bad we can't make Alice look like everyone else.
11:00Maybe we can.
11:05I like it.
11:06It's for a good cause.
11:12Hmm. I covered for you in the school play. Remember?
11:16I'll do it.
11:19It's really important. A kid's reputation depends on it.
11:25Hmm. I knew I could depend on you.
11:27I told everyone I could think of.
11:36Do you think they'll do it?
11:38Hmm. Of course they will.
11:42Helen said she found a way for you to blend in.
11:45Mm-mm. I'm not going.
11:47Why are you so bashful?
11:48If bashful means orange, I can't help it. I've been dyed.
11:53No. Bashful is the same as timid. It means you're shy.
11:58Mom! I look like a gumdrop with glasses!
12:01Of course I'm bashful.
12:03Well, don't be. You'll have fun.
12:06Fine.
12:10I can't wait for everyone to see you. You look like a little squash.
12:15I'd like to squash you.
12:19What?
12:25Well, what do you think?
12:27We didn't want you to feel self-conscious about being orange.
12:30You guys!
12:32Where's Ronald going?
12:34Maybe he's self-conscious about not being orange.
12:37Yeah!
12:38Hey, check out this song!
12:47Check out this song!
12:49I'm outgoing, I like a group
12:52I'm always in blue
12:54In my classroom I'm there
12:56With my hands up in the air
12:57I am never ever shy
13:01I'm a real outgoing guy
13:04I am bashful and I keep it low
13:06I don't put on a show
13:08When the teacher calls on me
13:10I am quiet as can be
13:12I'm often by myself
13:14And here is why
13:16I'm a very bashful guy
13:20We're so different from each other
13:22Though we've got the same mother
13:24He is bashful, he's outgoing
13:26He's my brother
13:36Ready?
13:38Ready!
13:39Okay Milo, you call it
13:41Red Rover, Red Rover
13:43Send skits right over
13:46Figures
13:49Hey Kaz!
13:50Hey!
13:51Hey!
13:52Oh, sorry
13:53I've been looking all over for you
13:55I've got some big, big news
13:57Big news?
13:58Did you find a gigantic dinosaur bone like mine?
14:01No, it's much cuter than an old bone
14:06A puppy!
14:07Isn't she sweet?
14:09I'll say
14:10I hold her
14:11What's her name?
14:12Lily
14:13Let us get a sniff
14:14A puppy!
14:16Carolina?
14:17I didn't think you liked dogs
14:20I don't
14:21But Lily was so cute
14:23Plus, she matched my purse
14:25See?
14:26You got a dog because it matched your purse?
14:29That's kind of shallow, don't you think?
14:31No, it's deep
14:33See?
14:34She's a perfect fit
14:35That's not the kind of shallow Alice meant
14:38When you say someone is shallow
14:39That means you think they don't care or think about important things
14:42That is so not true
14:44I'm not shallow
14:46I put a lot of thought into adopting this puppy
14:49There was a white and beige puppy too
14:51And I have a white and beige bag
14:52So I had to figure out which bag I use more often
14:55Exactly how did you get permission to adopt a dog?
14:58Yeah
14:59Caswell won't let you adopt unless you get permission from your parents
15:02I had Tiffany Flatsky call and pretend to be my grandmother
15:06What?
15:07I just had to have her!
15:09I just love, love, love her!
15:11Icky!
15:12No licking
15:14So what type of puppy is she?
15:16A Maltese, silly!
15:18Can't you tell?
15:19Hmm?
15:20Isn't a Maltese a really small dog?
15:23Yeah?
15:24So?
15:25She's got really big paws
15:29So if Lily's not a Maltese
15:32Que tipo de perro es?
15:34What type of dog is she?
15:35I don't know
15:36Maybe Doberman?
15:37Doberman?
15:38Huh
15:39Yeah!
15:40She's black and brown like they are
15:42I think she's a Rottweiler
15:44They're black and brown too
15:48There could be Bulldog in there
15:50She's kinda pigeon toed
15:51Ew!
15:54Yuck!
15:55I think she's a poodle
15:57A poodle?
15:58She has curly ears
16:00She's probably a mix of a bunch of different kinds of breeds
16:03She's a Bollweiler Doberdoodle
16:05A Bollweiler Doberdoodle?
16:07If she's got poodle in her
16:10She might be hypoallergenic
16:12Hypoallergenic?
16:13Does that mean ugly?
16:16No!
16:17Hypoallergenic means that if you're allergic to dogs
16:19Lily won't make you sneeze
16:22But what if you're allergic to ugly?
16:24You're worried about how she'll look?
16:26Now that is really shallow
16:28It's not just that
16:30I don't know anything about Bollweiler Doberdoodles
16:32What type of dogs are they?
16:34I know how we can find out
16:40These are all movies starring Lily's different dog breeds
16:44I figure we'll get a better idea of the breeds temperament
16:47If we can see them in action
16:49Lily come!
16:50Come on Lily!
16:51Everybody ready?
16:52Can I hold Lily?
16:53Be my guest
16:54The first movie is about a guy and two Dobermans who get locked in a store at night
16:58Hey!
16:59That sounds like when we got locked in Grimbles
17:00Oh!
17:01Oh!
17:02That wasn't like Grimbles at all!
17:03Those dogs were vicious!
17:04Now hang on a minute
17:05Any dog can be mean and nasty if it isn't treated right?
17:08Besides, I think those Dobermans were just acting
17:11Yeah!
17:12Acting nasty!
17:13Let's check out the Rottweiler
17:14Okay!
17:15I've got that!
17:16I've got a guy and two Dobermans who get locked in a store at night
17:18Hey!
17:19That sounds like when we got locked in Grimbles
17:21Oh!
17:22That wasn't like Grimbles at all!
17:24Those dogs were vicious!
17:25Now hang on a minute
17:26Any dog can be mean and nasty if it isn't treated right
17:28Besides, I think those Dobermans were just acting
17:29I've got that breed right here
17:31What's this about?
17:32It's a kid named Damey something
17:35I can't make out his name, but he's got a really big Rottweiler
17:41Next!
17:42I couldn't find anything on Bulldogs, but there's this documentary on Pit Bulls
17:48Ew!
17:49Icky!
17:50I don't want a dog that looks like that!
17:53Come on, Lily!
17:56Carolina?
17:57Carolina!
17:58Wait!
18:00Carolina!
18:01Where are you going?
18:02To the shelter!
18:04Why?
18:05To give Lily back!
18:06He's so sick!
18:07How are you doing?
18:08I can't take a dog near her!
18:10No quiero un perro feroz!
18:12I can't keep this vicious dog!
18:16Vicious?
18:17Lily's not vicious!
18:19Yeah!
18:20Vicious means someone is really mean it can hurt you!
18:23Lily's a sweet little puppy!
18:25Puppy's grow into dogs!
18:26Puppy's grow into dogs!
18:27Face it!
18:28She's a bad dog waiting to happen!
18:30I'm not impulsive!
18:31I'm not impulsive!
18:32Impulsive means you do things without really thinking about them first!
18:33This isn't sudden!
18:34I've been thinking of getting rid of this puppy the whole way here!
18:37What was impulsive was me adopting a dog in the first place!
18:40I mean me?
18:41With a dog?
18:42I'm just not the type!
18:43Hard to argue with that!
18:44It'd be cruel of me to keep her!
18:45I don't have the patience or temperament to raise a dog!
18:46Well, that's true!
18:47I'll be a bad owner!
18:48Remember my fish?
18:49Mr. Floaty?
18:50Who?
18:51Who?
18:52Who?
18:53Who?

19:36Who?
19:37Who?
19:38Who?
19:39Who?
19:40Who?
19:41What type of breed is she?
19:43A Bullwiler Doberdoodle.
19:45That's a poodle and some other kinds.
19:48Um, Bulldog, Rottweiler, Doberman?
19:51But the poodle means she's hypoallergenic.
19:54No, she's not vicious.
19:56She's got a great temperament.
19:58She's really sweet and meek and...
20:00But Dad!
20:03He says he thinks she'll be too mean, and I can't keep her.
20:07You're getting a bum rap, Lily.
20:10So we have to take her back to the shelter?
20:14Don't worry, I have a better idea.
20:20Thank you, Mom, so, so, so much for agreeing to foster Lily.
20:24She's happy to do it.
20:26We're pros at fostering now.
20:30Ah, don't pay any attention to that nasty old cat.
20:34So, how does fostering work?
20:36Well, you remember Martha's friend, the kitten, right?
20:39Mm-hmm.
20:40It's just like that.
20:41When you foster a pet, you take care of it until it finds a forever home.
20:45Hear that, Lily?
20:47Even if you can't stay with me, you'll never go back to the shelter again.
20:54Lily has to go back to the shelter.
20:56What's wrong?
20:57Is she bothering Nelson?
20:59No, Nelson is bothering her.
21:01He's got a nasty temperament.
21:03He's so mean.
21:05He pounces on her out of nowhere.
21:07He's really scaring her.
21:09Don't worry.
21:11I've got an idea.
21:13You have to foster Lily.
21:15I can't.
21:16My dad's allergic.
21:17But Lily's a bullwiler jobber doodle.
21:20She's hypoallergenic.
21:21Oh, right.
21:22I forgot.
21:23Come here, little girl.
21:26She has to go back to the shelter.
21:32She's not hypoallergenic?
21:34No, she is.
21:36But she's not housebroken.
21:38My mom says no way.
21:42Helen, come help me with the groceries, please.
21:45Be right there.
21:47Helen, what are you doing with that puppy?
21:50Trying to housebreak her.
21:52Remember how you kept skitsing me on leashes until we were housebroken?
21:56So he wouldn't sneak off and have accidents in the house.
21:59I know all about housebreaking techniques.
22:02What I don't know is, why is there a puppy in this house?
22:08Hello?
22:09Hola, Tia Mariela.
22:10I was just calling to see if Milo adopted my puppy okay.
22:14Your puppy?
22:15Yeah.
22:16I got it to go with my handbag.
22:17But then I realized I was a little impulsive, so I got rid of it.
22:22May I speak to your father, please?
22:25A puppy is not a shirt you throw away when you don't want it anymore.
22:29Lily, it's your responsibility.
22:31But what if she's vicious?
22:33She won't be, as long as you love her and take good care of her.
22:37Mom's right. Look at me. I'm part pit bull.
22:40Ooh, you are?
22:41Uh-huh. And I'm a big ol' marshmallow.
22:45You just have to teach dogs the right way to behave, and they can all be marshmallows like Martha.
22:50Bye-bye, Lily. You come and visit us often, okay?
22:54Oh, this is awful.
22:56Why? She's a really sweet puppy.
22:59I don't mean awful for me. Awful for Lily.
23:02I'm really not the kind of person who should have a pet.
23:05Oh, good thinking. Skits has a way to solve your problem.
23:11Really?
23:12Boy, I am desperate. I'm taking advice from a dog.
23:17And even though she's a bullwiler doper doodle, she's not the least bit vicious at all.
23:22As long as you teach her the right way to behave, she'll be a big ol' marshmallow.
23:28I can see that.
23:30Lily! Aw, sweet puppy!
23:33Well, do you still want her, son?
23:35Do I?
23:38Skits was right. He knew Milo's dad just needed to see Lily to know she wasn't vicious.
23:43Not so fast.
23:45What? I thought you didn't want Lily.
23:47I don't, but that doesn't mean I'll give her to just anybody.
23:51I have to make sure she'll be cared for.
23:53Where is she going to sleep?
23:56You'll have to get her a doggy bed.
23:58I will, I will!
24:00What about a place to exercise?
24:02Do you have a fenced-in yard?
24:04No, but I'll walk her all the time and take her to the park and take her swimming and everything!
24:10Hmm, you'll need to keep those wires out of the way.
24:14And get her lots of chew toys.
24:17Mm-hmm. Hmm.
24:19Okay, she's all yours.
24:21All right!
24:22Thanks, Carolina.
24:24I'll be really sweet and kind to Lily.
24:27I promise.
24:29Ah, thank you, Skits.
24:30That was a great idea. I feel so much better.
24:33Because you got rid of that puppy?
24:35No, because I know she's in the right forever home now.
24:39Come on, Skits. Race you to our forever home.
24:42Wait for me!
24:43I'm coming too!
24:46We talked a lot about temperament today.
24:48Temperament doesn't mean how hot or cold you are.
24:50That's temperature.
24:51Temperament means what someone is like most of the time.
24:54Take me, for instance. I have a very pleasant temperament.
24:59Some people have a mean temperament.
25:01Some people have a goofy temperament.
25:04Whoa!
25:05Some people are clumsy. Clumsy is not a temperament.
25:08I am such a klutz.
25:10But being good-natured about it is.
25:12What kind of temperament do you have?
25:14Hey, what are you eating?
25:15Marfa!
25:16Sorry. My dog has a pleasant temperament,
25:18but she can be a little rude.
25:19Did you catch all the personality words? Let's watch again.
25:33Bashful is the same as timid. It means you're shy.
25:37Temperament means what someone is like most of the time.
25:40Outgoing and friendly. They're the same.
25:42Outgoing means you're very friendly and like to meet people.
25:45Thank you, News Fairy. That's today's show.
25:48See you next time.
25:49Uh, you guys, can you get me down from here?
25:52I'm really not the type that likes heights.
25:54Guys!
25:55Who's that dog?
25:59Who's that dog?
26:02That dog is Cameo.
26:04Come on, Jim.
26:05My name is Mark.
26:06Cameo is an agility dog.
26:08An agility course is made for training.
26:11Cameo is good at agility
26:13because she's very, very, very, very, very intelligent.
26:17I think I should show you how good she is.
26:19Let's have some fun.
26:20Let's have some fun.
26:32At Canine University, my mom helps people train their dogs.
26:36I suggest that you go there.
26:38This sequence is jump, tip it.
26:41Okay.
26:42Jump, tip it.
26:45She is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very wonderful.
26:51She's too cute.
26:53She's a dog and a dog and a dog.
