[cheerful music]

I've been trying to get him to not work so hard and to go on a vacation.

Gloria doesn't understand how much work it is to run a farm.

Neither do I. What's so hard? Your farmhands plow the fields.

You only feed the animals.

You know what it's like to feed all those mouths?

Doc Boy, I feed Garfield and Odie.

Well, you've got a point there. And don't call me Doc Boy.

Say, where is Garfield?

[honking]

Come on, come on. Drive me back to civilization.

Garfield doesn't like it here on the farm.

Anyway, I still say feeding animals is easy.

And I still say you don't know what you're talking about.

And I still say, "Let's go home."

He works harder than you think, Jon.

And I still think he needs to take a vacation.

One of these days...

I'd better get Garfield home before...

[Vito] Here as you requested, Garfield!

Your emergency order. Pizza away!

[joyful music]

All right.

-We'll go home. -Wait. I have some fighter pilots

airlifting pastrami sandwiches.

-[Doc Boy] Come back soon! So long, now. -Bye! See you later!

Now, about that vacation...

But who'd take care of the cow? And the horse? And the chickens and--

You can find someone!

You're right, I can. And I know who.

[Jon] Visiting my brother was fun.

No cable TV.

That farm of his is so cool.

Roosters that crow at 5 a.m.

And the air smells so great.

If you like the smell of cow.

[doorbell ringing] I wonder who this is.

Doc Boy! Gloria!

-Hello, Jon. -And don't call him Doc Boy.

Doc Boy and Gloria? See?

Even they couldn't stand that farm.

So, I finally persuaded him to take a vacation.

And we don't even know where we're going or when we'll be back.

Why don't we visit that relative of yours you told me about?

Which one?

Her name was Aunt Something...

[in unison] Aunt Ivy!

[gasping and trembling]

Forget I mentioned her.

Don't worry, folks. She's not in this episode. It's safe to watch.

Who's taking care of your animals while you're away?

Someone who said he thought it was easy.

Me?

Oh, no! I don't have time to go up to your farm.

Who said anything about taking care of them in my farmyard?

[mooing]

I don't like the nearness of that moo.

Oh, no!

[animal sounds]

[sad music]

[stammering]

-I couldn't have put it better. -[barking]

Doc Boy? Doc Boy?

[dramatic music]

-Doc Boy! -[barking]

We left plenty of food and audio instructions on how to feed them.

We'll see you when we get back from our vacation.

Whenever that is.

[tires screeching]

And don't call me Doc Boy!

[hoedown music]

In a situation like this, there's only one thing to do.

-You with me, Odie? -[barking]

[sighing]

[groaning]

We'll be at a hotel until the animals are gone.

[barking]

Oh, no!

You're not running out on this.

You're going to help me take care of the animals

until Doc Boy and Gloria get back. Whenever that is.

We'll keep them in the back yard.

It won't be so bad... unless of course, it starts to rain.

[dramatic music]

You had to say that, didn't you?

Come on. Let's get them inside.

[dramatic music]

The weird part is... this is the cleanest this house has been in months.

I don't think they left enough food.

I'm going to get some more before the store closes.

My brother left this CD,

"How to Feed Farm Animals." Play it and do as it says while I'm gone.

If you don't feed them, I don't feed you.

Good. I'll be back as soon as I can.

All right. Let's see what this thing says.

[cheerful music]

[instructor] Hello.

Welcome to "How to Feed Farm Animals."

Lesson one: Chickens. Spread chicken feed evenly on ground.

All right. I'll try that.

Suppertime.

Get your delicious chicken feed right here!

[cackling angrily]

Come on. What are you waiting for?

Would you eat that?

Probably. There's not a lot I won't eat.

Try it.

Ok.

[spitting]

Ok, we gotta get you something better than that.

[rooster crowing]

Why do you have to do that?

Because I just love to go "cock-a-doodle-doo"!

It's in my soul. It's in my heart.

[crowing]

Yeah, but it's also in my ears.

I can't help myself. I have to go "cock-a-doodle doo"!

Well then, I'll help you.

Step right in here.

[thudding]

Ok,

let's see what's next.

[instructor] Feeding goats.

Many people think goats eat tin cans.

This is not true. They merely like to lick the glue

that is often used to put a label on a tin can.

Oh. That's so good to know, Mr. Voice.

Here.

I know you don't eat tin cans but... [sniffing]

What was in that when it was full?

[sniffing] Spaghetti, I think.

Oh, great. You get the spaghetti. I get the empty can.

Well now, wait a minute...

Hey, you dropped something on the ground behind you.

I don't see anything.

[bleating]

Ok. We've gotta get you some better food, too.

[instructor] Feeding horses. Horses eat hay.

Odie! Bring the hay in here.

[barking]

[cheerful music]

[neighing]

Hey, it's your hay.

I'm not eating that. You know what hay tastes like?

It's dry. It's tasteless. It's... it's...

Like Jon's meatloaf?

Well, probably not that bad.

Wait here.

Here. There's no food that can't be made edible with enough ketchup.

Bon appétit.

Whoa! My mistake. This isn't ketchup. It's ultra-powerful hot sauce.

[dramatic music]

[neighing]

[hoedown music]

[neighing]

Sorry about that, but I'll make it up to you.

I'm going to give you guys some real food.

Let's see...

yesterday's macaroni... leftover Chinese food...

[chewing]

[cheerful music]

Mmm. This is delicious.

So much better than... tin cans.

This is so much better than what Doc Boy feeds us on the farm.

We're never going to leave this house.

Oh, no!

We can't keep them here, Odie. It's time to take drastic steps.

[whimpering]

-More drastic than that. -[whimpering]

-More drastic than that. -[whimpering]

More drastic than that.

[gasping]

If small children are watching,

they should look away from the screen. This could be... really scary.

[doorbell ringing]

[dramatic music]

I know. I said Aunt Ivy wasn't in this episode. I lied.

Jon? Jon?

I got your email inviting me to stay with you until Christmas after next.

This isn't good.

This place looks like a barnyard.

Even worse, it smells like a barnyard.

Look at the feathers on that chicken.

Look at the giblets on that turkey.

Get that cow out of here.

I'm lactose intolerant.

Get that sheep out of here.

I hate wool.

Tell that rooster if he doesn't shut up,

he won't like what I'll cock-a-doodle-do to him.

[Gloria] But it's supposed to be our vacation.

It will be. But I'm worried about how my brother will take care of the animals.

I just want to check and make sure they're ok.

My animals! They're all running away!

Come back! Come back! I'll take you back to the farm.

[hoedown music]

[giggling] Problem solved.

Oh, you're wondering about the bigger problem.

-Aunt Ivy. Don't worry. -I'm not staying in this house...

It smells like a barnyard and all the fur and feathers...

[sneezing] ...are kicking up my allergies.

I'm going to stay in the most expensive hotel in town and charge it to Jon.

Other problem solved. Now, I have just one more thing to do.

Remember this CD?

I have to go online and find the guy who makes them.

I have an idea.

[Jon] I don't know how you did it.

Doc Boy called and said they are safe on their farm

and he'll find a sitter before his vacation.

Good!

Listen to this.

The CD player? Something on here you want me to listen to?

[instructor] Hello.

Welcome to "How to Feed Garfield Cat."

Lesson one. Breakfast.

Garfield enjoys a modest breakfast,

including waffles with syrup, fresh berries,

coffee with sugar, cream, more sugar, buttermilk pancakes,

sausage patty and links,

eggs fried, scrambled and poached on other eggs,

lasagna, cold and hot cereal,

buttered toast, bacon, more bacon, lots more bacon...

I gotta admit...
