This 16 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: is another adventure with the Princess of Prince Street. Princess 17 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: has not been out for a while as her owners 18 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: have been on vacation, but it's a beautiful day, and 19 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: she knows today she'll be able to get out for 20 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: a walk. Princess waits patiently for her owners to leave 21 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: so she can head out and see what is going 22 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: on on Prince Street. The Princess of Prince Street helps jiggles. 23 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: It was early in the morning and Princess had just 24 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: come in from her morning walk and had her breakfast. 25 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: Her owners were always in a rush these days. They 26 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: just didn't seem to be able to adjust to leaving 27 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: the house early after taking much of the summer off. 28 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: It didn't matter to Princess if they were late or 29 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: on time, but like all dogs, she could sense their 30 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: emotions and they were making her nervous, so she laid 31 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: nearby in the living room, wagging her tail as she 32 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: watched them run around the house. Princess had a wonderful 33 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: summer with frequent trips to the beach road trips she 34 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: loved sticking her head out of the car windows so 35 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: that she could catch air, and of course, there was 36 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 1: a trip to her owner's parents' house, which was by 37 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: a lake that she would swim in every day. It 38 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: was fun to spend so much time with her owners, 39 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: but she also valued her alone time, and so she 40 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: sat anxiously waiting for them to go out the door. 41 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: Some dogs don't like being alone, but Princess just loved 42 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: having time to herself. When the weather was as good 43 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: as it was today, she always found places to go, 44 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: friends to talk to, or she might spend her time 45 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: hanging out with the gang. Her owners didn't know that 46 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: she had this other life, of course, and would always 47 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: worry about leaving her alone. They once tried taking her 48 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: to the office, but that didn't work so well. Princess 49 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: got along with most others, but this one chihuahuah that 50 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: was there just could not stop barking, so the experimental 51 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: take your dog to work program was thankfully dropped. You see, 52 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: her owners had no idea that she often left the 53 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: house or had the ability to do so. They once 54 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: suspected and came close to figuring out just how smart 55 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: she was, but believed that the back door she used 56 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: to go out must have been opened accidentally by the wind. 57 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: Princess lived in an old manor house on Prince Street 58 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: made of old brick, which had three stories. This house 59 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: was her ideal place to live, as each floor had 60 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: a large window in which she could watch all the 61 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:16,119 Speaker 1: goings on outside, that is, when she wasn't outside herself. 62 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: Right after her owners gave her a pet and a kiss, 63 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: she ran up the stairs to her favorite window to 64 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: watch them get in their car and drive away to work. 65 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: She really wanted to start her day, but she sat 66 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: and waited. One time, they had come back forgetting their 67 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: lunch just as she was about to open the back door. 68 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: She has since taught herself to be patient. After an 69 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: appropriate amount of time, Princess jumped off the chair at 70 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: the second floor window, and tail wagging fiercely, ran down 71 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: the stair to the back door, which led to a 72 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: lovely garden. That garden, in turn connected to the neighbor's backyard, 73 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: which led to the street and freedom. This door was 74 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: the subject of one of her greatest tricks. She stood 75 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: up on her hind feet, pushed down on the door handle, 76 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: pushed hard, and opened the door. The door then closed 77 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: behind her as she walked out onto the back porch 78 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: that connected to the garden. The whole garden was surrounded 79 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: by a high fence, too high for Princess to jump over, 80 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: but luckily there was an old gate that connected to 81 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: the neighbor's backyard, which she hurriedly pushed through into the 82 00:06:54,320 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: neighbor's place and eventually out onto the street. Some days, 83 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: Princess would simply roam the neighborhood, talking to others as 84 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: she went, smelling all the interesting smells that to humans 85 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: were disgusting smells. Other days she would meet the gang 86 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: down at the park, across from the dentist office and 87 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: near their favorite garbage cans, the ones used by the 88 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: seafood restaurant. But lately the gang had all been busy, 89 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: and so Princess was going to go in a different direction. 90 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: She was going to go up Prince Street towards the school. 91 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: There were some busy spots along the way, so it 92 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: was not as safe a route as going down the 93 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: street towards the park, but Princess thought it was worth 94 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: the risk, and she was very careful. Hi Princess out 95 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: for a walk again. I see called Lucky, an old 96 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: Corgi and a relative to Lucy, who was a member 97 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: of the group of dogs she played with. Yes, I 98 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: am Lucky. Are you walking your owner again? Princess called, sure, em, 99 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: we are off to the coffee shop on the row. 100 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: Did you want to tag along, not today, Lucky, thank you, 101 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: see you later. Then have a nice day, Lucky barked. 102 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: Princess didn't see many dogs lately when she was out exploring, 103 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: so it was nice to meet a neighbor looking both ways. 104 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: Princess crossed the final street before she came to the 105 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: section of Prince Street that contained her destination. She could 106 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: hear the noise in the distance, and after a quick dash, 107 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: she arrived where she planned on spending the next little 108 00:08:54,040 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: while or so, Prince Street School. Lately, Princess had been 109 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: coming here to sit and watch all the children playing. 110 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: Princess loved children. She would play with them at her 111 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: owner's parents' house, and sometimes they would come over and 112 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: give her pets. Some would also want to give her snacks, 113 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: but she knew that young ones needed the snacks more 114 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: than she did. They still had a lot of growing 115 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: to do, after all. Today, in the distance, she noticed 116 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: something new, something she had not seen on this part 117 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: of Prince Street in a long time. It was a 118 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: tabby cat up in a tree that overlooked the playground 119 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: at the school. Princess walked over and introduced herself. Hi, there, 120 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: my name is Princess. I can't say I have seen 121 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: you around here before. Hi. My name is Jiggles. Um. 122 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: Are you a nice dog? I think I am, Princess replied, 123 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: I am sorry to ask such a question. But where 124 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: I come from, there aren't that many dogs that don't 125 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: like to tease or chase cats. And I'm not really 126 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: feeling up to a race today, Jiggles said, Oh, I see. 127 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: I can assure you, Jiggles, that I will not chase 128 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: or tease you. I like to make friends with all 129 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: kinds of animals and people. Where are you from? Oh 130 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: that is good to hear. I am from Ontario originally, 131 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: but my owners moved here a year ago. I live 132 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: in a house just a little ways from here. You 133 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: look different than many dogs I have seen before. There 134 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: aren't many Salukis around town. I think that may be why. 135 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: So why are you up in that tree instead of 136 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: at home? My owners are always working and usually let 137 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: me roam around the backyard a little bit. Oh that's nice, 138 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, But out of habit I like to 139 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: find a tree to climb so that I can see 140 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: more of the neighborhood. That's a great idea. I wish 141 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: I could climb trees, Princess said, with what looked like 142 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: a smile. Uh huh. I guess that's an advantage of 143 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: being a cat. But you know, I think you seem 144 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: like the kind of dog who would be able to 145 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: help me. Oh, I think so. I always try to 146 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: help my friends, while I usually just stay in the 147 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: backyard when my owners are gone. Lately, I have been 148 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: going out into the neighborhood via a section of the 149 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: fence that I could bend open enough with my head 150 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: that I could squeeze through. But today that section of 151 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: the fence closed tighter than before, and now I can't 152 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: get back in. While I can climb a tree like this, 153 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 1: I'm afraid the fence is too high for me to climb. 154 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: And well, I am called Jiggles for a reason. I 155 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: have helped my friend Templeton leave our basement before, but 156 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: I haven't helped anyone to get back into a place. 157 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: I would love to try. If you would let me, 158 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: I would really appreciate it, Jiggles said as he climbed 159 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: down the tree. My house is just a short walk 160 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: this way, Jiggles said as he walked alongside Princess. So 161 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: what brings you to this part of Prince Street. Do 162 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: you often go out for walks without your owner, Jiggles asked, 163 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: I do. I have a group of friends I like 164 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: to play with. You are welcome to join us sometime 165 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: if you can. But lately I have been coming here 166 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: to sit and watch the kids play in the playground 167 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: when they are taking a break from school. Sometimes they 168 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: come and play with me, and the teachers are very 169 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: kind too. Oh that sounds nice. Does your owner let 170 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: you outside, Jiggles asked, not exactly. My owners think I 171 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: am smart enough to do tricks, but they don't know 172 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: I am also smart enough to open the back door 173 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: to our house. Owners always underestimate us, I think, Jiggles said. 174 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: That could be true, Princess said, as Jiggles slowed down 175 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: when they came to a small house on the corner. 176 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: This is my place here on the right, Jiggles said, 177 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: indicating with his head. Wow, that is a high fence 178 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: around your backyard. Princess exclaimed, Yes, it is. Some of 179 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: the neighborhood cats that I am friends with have managed 180 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: to climb over and we hang out stunning in the yard. 181 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: But well, I jiggle a lot, and I can't yet. 182 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: I see the hole in the fence, Princess said, running 183 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: up to the spot in the fence that Jiggles would 184 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: squeeze through. I think maybe the piece of wood is 185 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: just a bit loose, and when you went through the 186 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: last time, it slid back in place. That looks like 187 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: it might be the case. But what can we do, 188 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: asked Jiggles. You get ready to squeeze through while I 189 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: grab the edge that is sticking out with my teeth. 190 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: I think I can pull it over just enough for 191 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: you to go through, but you might want to be 192 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: quick because I don't know how long I can hold it. Okay, okay, 193 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: I'll be ready, Jiggles said, as he crouched ready to 194 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: quickly squeeze through. Princess pulled hard on the board with 195 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: her mouth. Dogs are really great at pulling things with 196 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: their mouths, so that wasn't really a problem for Princess, 197 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: but she was concerned that the board might slip when 198 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: Jiggles was going through. Not wanting him to get stuck, 199 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: she bit down extra hard. The board opened just enough 200 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: for Jiggles to quickly go through. Phew, that was close, 201 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: Jiggles said from behind the fence. Thank you very much 202 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: for helping me. Princess. It's always a pleasure to help 203 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: friends when I can, Princess said, If you would like 204 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: to hang out with my friends sometime, you are very welcome. 205 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: Even though we are dogs and you are a cat, 206 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: there is no reason why we can't have fun together. 207 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: Thank you, Princess. It is always nice to make a 208 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: new friend, especially one as nice as you. Let's meet 209 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: at Prince Street School again one day. Soon jiggles me 210 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: out from the behind the fence. Sounds good to me. 211 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: Bye for now, Princess said as she began her walk home, 212 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: happy that not only had she made a new friend, 213 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: but also that she had yet another adventure on Prince Street. 214 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: And that's the end of this part. Good night, sleep tight.
