The chapter opens on an exterior shot of the Heeler's house. Toys are strewn everywhere: notably, Chattermax is in between the raised garden beds, the birdie kite is stuck in a tree, and the pedal car is crashed in a bush. The camera pans to the Chow Chows' house, which is pristine.

In their bathroom, a montage shows Wendy bathing Judo. She lathers up Judo's hair.

Wendy: "Shampoo..."

Another shot of Wendy shampooing Judo.

Wendy: "Shampoo again..."

Wendy squeezes out pink conditioner in Judo's hair.

Wendy: "Condition..."

She leans Judo's head forward and pours a cup of water over her hair.

Wendy: "Rinse..."

She leans Judo's head back and pours a cup of water over her hair.

Wendy: "...and rinse again."

In front of the sink, she brushes Judo's arm fur with a plastic dog brush.

Wendy: "Wide brush."

She brushes Judo's tail with a hairbrush.

Wendy: "Fine brush."

She dries Judo's hair with a blow dryer.

Wendy: "And dry."

Judo: "Are you almost finished, Mum?"

Wendy: "Almost."

Judo: "It takes a long time to do my hair, doesn't it?"

Wendy: "It does, but it's important, sweetheart. We're Chow Chows."

Judo: " We're known for our long, lovely coats."

Wendy sighs and puts down the hair dryer.

Wendy: "Sometimes I wish we weren't, though."

She puts Judo's headband on her head.

Wendy: "...And finished."

Judo: "Is it as beautiful as yours?"

Wendy: "Even more beautiful."

Judo: "Now off you go, sweetie. Go and play.

Judo runs out of the bathroom while Wendy begins tidying up.

The sound of a truck backing up can be heard. Judo stops and looks out a window.

Driver: (offscreen) "Yeah, mate?"

Bandit (offscreen) "Yeah, yeah, just there."

Outside the window is a dump truck full of dirt. Bandit is directing the driver with his hands, while Bluey, you and Bingo look on.

Driver: (offscreen) "Yeah, 'ow's that lookin'?"

Bandit (offscreen) "Yeah, that's good, mate."

Bandit gives the driver a thumbs-up. The driver lifts the bed of the dump truck, leaving a huge pile of dirt in the Heelers' front lawn.

Bluey & Bingo: "Diiirt!"

Bluey and Bingo run forwards and fling themselves face-first into the pile of dirt. They laugh.

Y/n: dogs, heh, have they no shame of being dirty?

Bandit and The driver gave you a really bruh look. The screen cut to bluey and bingo in the dirt pile

Y/n: [screaming off-screen] no no no aaaaahhhh (you were thrown into the dirt as bluey and bingo giggled

At her window, Judo watches the spectacle.
