 Story If you wanna play outside,
sometimes you gotta get dirty!

says it’s important. Chow Chows are known for their long, lovely coats!

finished!

Now she can go and play. Outside, a truck is dropping a big

pile of dirt off at the Heeler house next door. Judo asks if she
Can I play with can play with Bluey. “Yes – just don’t get dirty!” calls Wendy.
Bluey, Mum?

2 Bluey and Bingo are pretending to

shower in the dirt! Judo wants to play,
This dirt is too... BUUUUT, she’s not supposed to get
very dirty. dirty. Is there a way to play in the dirt
without getting dirty? Hmm... A-HA!

Can I
play?

 You
ready?
3 Judo sits inside a tray so she doesn’t
get dirty. Bluey and Bingo pull her all
the way up to the top of the pile,
then sliiiiiide her down. Woo!

Judo wants another go... BUUUUT, it’s

too hard to pull her all the way up again.

4 Bluey and Bingo show Judo their

they run and jump into the dirt.

It looks fun... BUUUUT, Judo says,

“I’m not sure I could do THAT
without getting dirty.”

lots of layers.

6 Judo runs home to ask
her mum, “Why is it that
I can’t get dirty again?”

We have such long hair, it takes so

long to clean. It’s just easier not to
get it dirty in the first place!

Yeah... I guess
that makes
sense.

7 When Judo gets back... Dad makes mud! Bluey and Bingo
play in the mud, Judo wants to play too... BUUUUT, the
mud will make her dirty. “I might just go home,” she sighs.

Wendy, can
Judo play in the
dirt with us?

Oh... well...
yes. Judo
can play.

“Really?!” asks Judo. “I want you to have fun sweetie,” Wendy smiles.
But Judo isn’t sure, and walks sadly back to her house.

and have fun,” she says.
“But what about my long,
lovely coat? It takes so long to
clean,“ says Judo. “Oh yes... I
said that, didn’t I,“ says Wendy.

 What do
you think?

I love it!

9 Wendy returns with a mirror and scissors. “I’m going short!”

she says, and starts snipping her long, lovely coat.
Judo is amazed... and excited! “Can you do me?“ she asks.

10 “DER DE R DE R D E R R R R R ! ”
Judo has a haircut, then jumps right into
the dirt with Bluey and Bingo – SPLAT!
They make dirt angels, enjoy a mud spa, make
a twisty-turny slide and have the best fun EVER.

I like the new

look, Wendy.
