7. 0:26The sick day. Henry's big dog, Mudge,
8. 0:29loved Henry's sick days.
9. 0:33When Henry had a sore throat or a fever
10. 0:35or a bad cough, he stayed home from
11. 0:37school in bed. In the morning, Henry's
12. 0:39mother brought him orange popsicles,
13. 0:41comic books, and crackers.
14. 0:45Mudge got the crackers. In the evening,
15. 0:47Henry's father brought him grape
16. 0:49popsicles, comic books, and crackers.
17. 0:53Mudge got the crackers again. Mudge
18. 0:56loved sick days. But even though he
19. 0:58loved Henry's sick days, no one ever
20. 1:01thought that Mudge would get sick.
21. 1:05No one ever thought that Mudge could
22. 1:06catch germs. But he could. And one day,
23. 1:09he caught a lot of them. When Henry woke
24. 1:12up and jumped out of bed, Mudge didn't
25. 1:14move. He didn't get up. He didn't lick
26. 1:16Henry's face.
27. 1:19He didn't even shake Henry's hand. And
28. 1:21he always shook Henry's hand in the
29. 1:22morning. He just looked at Henry and
30. 1:25wagged his tail a little.
31. 1:28Henry and Henry's mother looked at Mudge
32. 1:30and worried. "Something's wrong," said
33. 1:32Henry. His mother nodded her head.
34. 1:34"Mudge must be sick," said Henry. His
35. 1:37mother nodded her head again. "Mudge,"
36. 1:39said Henry. "Are you just wanting some
37. 1:41crackers?" "But Mudge didn't want
38. 1:43crackers. Mudge was sick, and he didn't
39. 1:46even read comic books."
40. 1:50the vet. Henry and Henry's mother tried
41. 1:52to put Mudge in the car to go to the
42. 1:54doctor, but Mudge was tired. He didn't
43. 1:57want to go.
44. 1:59"Hop in, Mudge," said Henry. Mudge sat
45. 2:02down on Henry's foot. "Hop, Mudge,"
46. 2:05Henry said again. Mudge yawned and
47. 2:07drooled on Henry's hand.
48. 2:11"Bath time, Mudge," Henry said, and
49. 2:14Mudge hopped right in the car. They
50. 2:16drove to the bed. Mudge knew the vet and
51. 2:18he didn't want to see her. She made him
52. 2:20nervous.
53. 2:22When they walked into her waiting room,
54. 2:24Mudge started to shiver and shed. He did
55. 2:27this every time he went to the vet. He
56. 2:29shivered and shed. He always left a
57. 2:31bunch of dog hair on her floor.
58. 2:35When it was his turn to see the vet,
59. 2:37Henry and Henry's mother had to pull him
60. 2:39like a horse into the room. "Hi, Mudge,"
61. 2:41said the vet. Mudge shivered. "Bad day,
62. 2:44Mudge," said the vet. mud shed.
63. 2:49"He's losing all his hair," said Henry.
64. 2:52"I know," said the vet. "I'd better
65. 2:54hurry or he may be bald before you can
66. 2:56get him home." Henry's mother laughed.
67. 2:58But Henry couldn't laugh. He was too
68. 3:00worried. He was too scared.
69. 3:05The vet looked at Mudge's wet eyes. She
70. 3:07listened to Mudge's shivering chest. She
71. 3:09felt Mud's shedding stomach.
72. 3:13Then she rubbed Mudge's big head. "I
73. 3:16need to check a few things," she told
74. 3:18Henry. "Can you wait outside?" Henry
75. 3:20wanted to say no. Henry wanted to say,
76. 3:23"No way." But Henry said, "All right."
77. 3:29He went back to the waiting room with
78. 3:31his mother. He sat and wondered if Mudge
79. 3:33knew how to say, "Ah." He wondered if
80. 3:35Mudge would be okay.
81. 3:38"A big kiss. Your dog has a cold," the
82. 3:42vet told Henry. "A cold?" said Henry. "I
83. 3:45think so," said the vet.
84. 3:48"He has a fever. His throat is red. He's
85. 3:51very tired, and he keeps asking me for
86. 3:53some comic books." "This time," Henry
87. 3:56could laugh. "You have to let him rest,"
88. 3:58said the vet. Henry nodded. "And give
89. 4:01him his medicine." Henry nodded again.
90. 4:06"And don't kiss him until he's better,"
91. 4:08the vet said. Henry frowned. A he said
92. 4:12when Henry and Henry's mother and Mudge
93. 4:14got home, Henry fixed the sick bed for
94. 4:16Mudge in the living room.
95. 4:20It had Henry's old blanket in it and
96. 4:22five of Henry's dirty socks and Henry's
97. 4:24baseball mitt and Henry's pillow and a
98. 4:26stuffed mousse. The next morning, Henry
99. 4:28brought Mudge some ice cubes, a rubber
100. 4:30hamburger, and crackers.
101. 4:35Henry got the crackers. In the evening,
102. 4:37Henry brought Mudge some ice cubes, a
103. 4:39rubber hot dog, and crackers.
104. 4:43Henry got the crackers again. But the
105. 4:45next day, Mudge ate all of the crackers.
106. 4:48His sick days were over.
107. 4:52And Henry gave him a great big kiss. And
108. 4:56that's the end of Henry and Mudge Get
109. 4:58the Cold Shivers. I love you all so very
110. 5:00much. Most importantly, Jesus loves you.
111. 5:02And I'll see you back here next time.
112. 5:03Bye y'all.
