What'd you get?
- Come on, Bailey.
-Oh, my. Look at this.
-Oh! A puppy! -Oh, my gosh.
- Here, boy. Here.
- Hello!
- Hey! Hey!
Where's he going? Oh!
Sometimes I thought
that trying
to make sense out of life
could be a waste of time.
Maybe it was better
to just really enjoy life
and leave it at that.
Hey, where'd everybody go?
Where's all the chickens?
Bailey! Bailey, Bailey!
-Ethan, Ethan, Ethan,
Ethan, Ethan! -Yeah!
Oh, my goodness!
Look who's here!
For some reason,
they wouldn't share
this ball with me.
Yes!
Run, Ethan, run!
Everybody knows there's never
been a game
in the history of balls
that can't be improved
by having a dog in it.
But there was something weird
about this ball.
Treasure.
Ah, this is the life.
Anyone else?
Jim, your coffee?
-Oh, thank you.
-Here you go.
- Here we all are.
- Yeah.
Enjoy your meal.
I liked the old humans.
They got me.
Would you please stop
feeding the dog?
-Oh.
-We're trying to train him.
I told you.
You caught me.
I'm sorry.
Could you pass me
the jam, please?
When I wasn't thinking
about food, my mind wandered.
Why am I here?
What's the purpose?
Oh, yeah. Keep rubbing.
And...
Might there be more bacon?
Oh, look at his plate.
You know, the way you eat,
you're gonna grow up
to be bigger
than all of us put together.
- Yes!
- Oh!
If there's a world
to grow up in.
These Russians
are putting missiles in Cuba.
Do we have to talk
about that now?
- No.
- So, um, Jim,
I hear you're up
for a new office job.
Why don't you tell us
about that?
That didn't work out.
Well, they want him
in the field.
He's one of the top sellers
every year.
I got the job nobody wants.
Jim, do you have to?
We're three seconds away
from nuclear annihilation.
Uh, can me and Bailey
be excused?
Sure.
Ethan was sad.
I didn't know why.
Hey, Bailey.
Captain America, remember?
He could take out that bomb
in a second.
Pow!
Zap!
Oh, you like it, don't you?
Whoa.
Come on. Come on.
Yeah, boy. Oh!
Okay, Bailey.
Get it, boy!
Whoo! Come on!
Yeah, boy! Come on.
Come on.
Oh, where'd it go?
Where'd it go? Oh, oh!
Come on, boy! Oh!
What is that?
- Get it, boy!
Oh, come on.
Come on, get it!
We played with that ball
all afternoon. -Yeah! Come on!
-Ethan loved it.
-Good boy!
Get it!
Come on! Come on.
Hey, dad, watch this.
Look what he can do.
Okay, Bailey. Ready?
Ready.
Stay. Okay.
And...
Okay.
Go, Bailey!
Yeah! Out.
That's great, pal.
Thanks, dad.
Hey, hey, come on.
Oh, yes. Yes.
Come on. Come on.
-You have a great day.
-When it got colder outside,
-we all went back home.
-Ethan:
See ya.
- He'll be fine. Bye.
- Bye.
Every morning,
