Tip the Mouse

Tip is playing at Jody's house but Cody is disturbing their game so Jody invites him to come to his bedroom. Tip is stunned: how awesome it is to have your own bedroom! Back home, Tip finds Tippy playing with HIS Teddy. This is not good at all! He decides there and then: He's a grown-up pup and needs a bedroom of his own! And Tippy? Well, she is small... she could sleep anywhere...

It is an autumn morning and at the kindergarten Maggie has all sorts of fun things organised for the pups. But Tip is not into all of that, all he wants to do is bouncing pebbles in the river with his friends! He will play along, but everything has to be done in a hurry, in order to get to the river as soon as possible...

Tip, Jody and Betty are preparing a cake with the help of Tip's mom. Once they put the last strip of dough on the cake, they already imagine the moment when they will be allowed to eat it. Tip's mom kindly reminds them that it will still take a while for the cake to bake and then cool off before they can actually eat it. So the pups have to be patient which is a big disappointment.

At the aunts' house the lights are out, the curtains are closed and Betty is holding a flashlight under his chin: she is telling a scary story about a big-toothed monster. Of course they know that monsters don't exist, but when they head into town for trick-or-treating in the costumes the aunts made they are not so sure about that anymore. Passing Mr. Paco's store they hear suspicious noises.

Tip is having all his friends over for a nice afternoon in the garden. While Mom and Marylou are having a cup of tea the pups are playing monsters. Tip suddenly realizes something is wrong, his front tooth is wobbling. What will happen to him, will he turn into a toothless monster?! At first the pups want to protect Tip's tooth but Mom tells him this means he is growing up...

Maybe he got out of the wrong side of bed, but today Tip is just not in a good mood. Breakfast is a hassle, he is unkind to Tippy and even at kindergarten he manages to get the other pups in a bad mood too because of his behaviour. What if a bad mood is contagious?! Tip and his friends are getting really worried about their condition, will there be a medicine or will they stay like this forever?

Tip is not liking winter at all, he finds it way too cold. Even too cold to go visit his grandparents. His grandparents are baffled about Tip disliking winter so much and decide to take him out for a walk to discover the beauty of Mister Winter. The icicles, the frozen pond and the fresh air. Maybe even the shorter days are not so bad after all...

Tip and the other pups are at Kindergarten, where Maggie is arranging everything for a quiz with small questions. And the winning team will get a big bag of beautiful marbles! Tip decides to team up with Billy as then he will be sure to win the game and the prize. Not considering however how that would make Jody, his best friend, feel.

Tip has won a medal for being the fastest pup in kindergarten and still his aunts pay more attention to his little sister. Why are they talking behind his back, just because she is small and cute? Tip is a little bit jealous of Tippy and decides that Albert will do just fine as a new uncle. Too bad his uncle is not so good at all the things he loves so much about his aunts.

Tip is so excited about today. His aunts will take him and Tippy out for a picnic at the lake. The weather is great, mom has prepared a basket with lots of lovely food and his aunts are always fun. Everything seems perfect! That is... until the car breaks down in the middle of the road. Tip is devastated, this means no lake, no picnic. He believes that the day is irretrievably ruined and pouts.

It's a beautiful winter morning with lots of fresh snow. Tip can't wait to get to kindergarten and build a snowman with his best friend Jody. But to his big disappointment Jody is not coming today, he is sick at home. He tries building a snowman with the other pups, but it is just not the same. He knows exactly how he wants it.

Tip and Jody are surprised to find Mr. Paco being an excellent painter. They do an attempt as well but are very much discouraged by the result. Then Miguel shows them that being a hairdresser is a form of art and if you keep your eyes open you can discover art in all shapes and sizes. So Tip and Jody give it one more try and find out there is an artist inside them after all!

Tip, Jody and Betty are wishing they could be just as much of an explorer as the famous Emilia. When they stumble upon a key in the fields, it is the perfect opportunity to go explore and find the treasure this key belongs to. But their treasure hunt has no result and disappointedly they are sitting down for a snack. But then Tip sees a chest that fits the key!

Tip wants to organize the best sleepover party in the world to celebrate summer. He invites his friends and runs home to tell his parents about his great idea. What a disaster that the house is being painted, he can never ask his friends to sleep in this awful smell. And he promised they could all come... But luckily Mom and Dad have an unexpected solution...

Tip, Jody and Betty are at Jody's house building paper airplanes. Tip is not as good at it while Jody and Betty finish with one after the other. Even though Betty and Jody encourage him to keep trying it is just not working out. His friends race with their planes and Tip goes back inside disappointed. There he finds Cody trying to climb the sofa and soon finds himself saying to him not give up...

Dr. Bigtail and Dad take their pups on a hiking trip to see the Hoodoo. The pups are all excited, but shortly after Tip and Billy are tired and want to go home. They come up with all sorts of excuses to end this trip. Offy is not buying it and uncovers their plot. But then in the distance they see the goal of their hike and it is such a beautiful place. This fuels them again to keep going...

Tip is Mr. Paco's shop keep helper for the day and help him out with all sorts of chores around the shop. He likes being an assistant but somehow he turns every little job in a minor disaster. He will never be a good shopkeeper like Mr. Paco! But Tip knows how to do it right doing it the second time around. Because, as Mr. Paco will make him understand, mistakes are not so bad...

Tip and Billy are at the playground when Jody joins them and shows them his brand new ball. They can do so many fun games with them but first they have to decide who can start. They spin the coins and Tip and Billy end up having a quarrel. They decide to no longer be friends and refuse to speak or play with each other. This turns out not to be so helpful when you want to play games.

Tip wants to be brave, just like Raphael, Miguel's twin brother, who works in the circus. But how can he be brave when he is afraid of doing many things. With the help of Billy and Offy he tries to improve his courage, but with no success. However in the end Tip will realize that being brave doesn't imply that you don't have any fears, just that you have to learn to overcome them!

There is a big parent-children race in the playground of the village that afternoon and Tip pleads his Dad to enter. Tip is convinced that he has the strongest dad in the world and together they will win, for sure. Dad is not so sure about that, but one thing is certain: they'll have fun and that is the important thing! That is easier said than done for Tip.

Tip is all excited about spending the afternoon at his grandparents like he always does every week. Jody wants to come to and together they find out that there are some things a bit different this time. Tip is disappointed, he does not like change. And how can they ever have the fun he promised Jody they would have?

Tip has received a gift from his grandfather: a beautiful carved wooden pencil made especially for him, Tip proudly shows it to Jody, who is really impressed. How much he would like to have one just like it! When Jody goes home, Tip realizes he can't find his pencil anymore: Jody must have taken it! He comes up with some tricks to search Jody's room.

Tip and Jody are Best Friends Forever. So how terrible when they find out that there are things they don't agree on. How can it be that they have different ice-creams they love the most and not the same favourite colour? Can they still be friends if they are not the same? Luckily the aunts are there to explain that there are so many things different about them too.

Tip won a little fish has at the village fair of the village and is all caught up in showing it around the house and meeting his family. So busy that Tip doesn't pay attention to even the smallest requests. Why they can't do it by themselves, Tip has more important things to do now. The fish still needs to meet Teddy and he needs to be fed too.

After Mom reads Tip a fairy tale about Mr. No and what kindness can bring, Tip decides to be a good pup and say "yes" to everything for the whole day. He likes it and also the appreciation he gets for it. He winds up in the situation that he is a clothes model for Marylou even if doesn't want to be. After all, he would say "yes" today... Tip feels very uncomfortable...
