Liz and Isaiah are two children living at home with all their pets. They live with their guinea pig named Little Girl, cat named Mittens, bird named Butterscotch and fish named Sparkles. Life is good for the animals. All the animals play together and get along very well. One day Liz says, "Let's get a new pet." Isaiah says, "That's a great idea." They decide to get a dog. The other animals do not think this is a great idea. They are very nervous. Mittens says, "There is no room here for a dog!" All the other animals agree. Isaiah and Liz are off to the pet shop. Liz and Isaiah look and look for the perfect dog. They finally spot a pink and purple, poodle puppy with big, brown eyes. Her name is Candy and they decide to take Candy home with them. Candy is feeling a little anxious about her new home. As soon as the other pets see Candy, Mittens and Butterscotch run and hide in the pantry! After awhile of hiding, Butterscotch says, "I'm starving!" Mittens stomach begins to growl and she says, "Me, too!" Mittens checks out the pantry, spies some cat food and jumps up on the counter but makes a huge mess when the food spills all over. Just then, Candy finds Butterscotch and Mittens in the pantry and offers to help. Mittens replies, "There is no room for a dog in this house!" Little Girl and Sparkles enter the pantry, relieved to find their friends. Little Girl and Sparkles agree with their friend and shou﻿t, "We don't have room for a dog!" Candy sadly leaves the pantry to go and explore her new home.

Candy walks around the house and finds a comfy seat in the living room on the couch. Candy feels left out because the other pets won’t let her play with them. Then, Candy feels something under the cushion of the sofa poking her. She reaches down and finds out it is the TV remote. She decides to turn on the TV and watch her favorite channel, Animal Planet. The show she turns on is about dogs who do tricks. Candy begins to cheer up. ======

 Just then Mittens walks into the living room. Mittens sees Candy watching TVand says, “Can I watch TV with you? It’s my favorite show.” Candy replies, “Sure! Do the other pets want to watch, too?” “Yes,” said Mittens. “They are coming right behind me.” Then, the other pets walk into the living room and see Candy and Mittens watching TV. They think anyone who likes their favorite show must be OK. So they say, “We are sorry we hurt your feelings. Can we watch TV with you?” Candy happily says, “Yes!” Then Sparkles says, “How about we be friends?” Little Girl says, “That’s a great idea!” The other pets climb onto the sofa and watch TV together. Liz and Isaiah come into the living room and are happy to see the animals getting along. ======
