This story begins at the Doggy Day Care play room. Fred and Princess walk in to see a mess of toys.Elvis walks in and lays down on a doggy bed. Princess and Fred ask Elvis to help them clean up.

Hey, Elvis. Can you help us?

It's not my problem! I am not picking up those toys!

Elvis begins to frown at Fred and Princess. Elvis gets up and jumps on the floor, whining to Fred and Princess. He begins to cry and faces the wall with his head down.

But Elvis, they are your toys too! If you don't pick them up, you can't play with them!

Elvis ignores Fred and plops back on his doggy bed. Fred begins to get angry at Elvis for not picking up the toys. It was his job to do so.

The next day, Elvis goes walking to the store to buy a new toy. He chooses a shiny bone and goes back to the doggy daycare.

Playing with my new bone! I got from the store! Isn't it cool!?

Hey, Elvis! What are you doing?

Fred spots Elvis and joins him while he is chewing on his new shiny bone. Fred decides to go up to Elvis.

Fred is angry and jealous because Elvis got a new toy. Fred angrily throws the toys on the ground and walks away.

I will speak to Elvis. Thank you for telling me, Fred.

Later that afternoon after seeing what happened, Ms. Brown goes to speak to Fred. Ms. Brown asks, "What's going on with you and Elvis?"

Elvis doesn't want to pick up his toys after play time. Princess and I do it every day!

Ms. Brown tells Fred that throwing Elvis' toy was wrong. Fred should of told him how he felt. Ms. Brown went to Elvis and told Elvis that he is not allowed to play during recess until he cleans up after himself.

Elvis is moping in the corner of play room. AB sees him and asks:

Princess and Fred got me in time-out when I didn't do anything! I can't play at the playground.

What's wrong Elvis? Why are you here?

During recess time, all the puppies went to go play at the playground. Elvis stayed behind because Elvis did not do a good job with his duty.
