Trivia

 * This is the first time Wags sneezes, although it was first mentioned in the song Wags the Dog is Chasing his Tail from The Wiggles Go Bananas video and album in 2009
 * In close-up shots of Wags blowing his nose, there is an 80-pound virtually invisible string connected to the end of the hanky to make it look cartoon-like.

Transcript
(The episode begins when Dorothy comes out the door to greet everyone.)

Dorothy: Hello everyone, it's good to see you! Oh look, here comes Wags!

(Wags walks up the pathway, blowing his nose into a handkerchief.)

Wags: (He groans.) Hello Dorothy, it's good to, ah, ah, ah, ah, choo!

(Wags sneezes causing the wind to shake some of the tree leaves)

Dorothy: Oh, Bless you Wags

Wags: Thank you (He coughs)

Dorothy: Are you feeling OK? that sure was a big sneeze

Wags: Sorry, Dorothy. I feel rather sick. (He blows his nose with his hanky.) I feel as though I have a cold

Dorothy: Oh, I'm so sorry Wags. Come on inside and I'll make you a big mug of rosy tea.

(They both walk inside & it cuts to Dorothy's living room, where she's pouring Wags a mug of rosy tea.)

Dorothy: Here you are Wags.

Wags: Thanks Dorothy.

(Wags finishes his tea in two slurps & puts his mug down.)

Dorothy: Don't worry Wags, I'll help you feel better. I know quite a few ways of how to feel better when you have a cold.

Wags: Why thank you Dorothy, it would be very nice of you to help me.

Dorothy: (She giggles.) It's my pleasure. Now, one of the best ways to feel better when you have a cold is to get lots of rest. Come on, let's go out into the garden and you can curl up there for a nap.

Wags: Ah, a nap. Just what I... ah-ah-ah... ..ah-choo! ...need,

(Wags walks outside into the garden followed by Dorothy who first grabs a blanket out of a box & a pillow by her window. When they arrive Wags lies down near a rose bush & Dorothy gives him the pillow & covers him up with the blanket.)

Dorothy: There you go Wags.

Wags: (He yawns.) Thank you Dorothy. I'll just doze off for a little while.

Dorothy: Alright then, sweet dreams Wags.

Wags: (He snores & whistles.)

Dorothy: Hmm, while Wags is asleep, I know another way that I can help him feel better. Eating healthy foods such as Vegetable Soup is very good for your body. And drinking liquids like water and orange juice can really help cool your body down. Oh, I think I'll surprise Wags with a tray of soup and juice. I know how much he likes them.

(Then, Dorothy walks back inside, prepare the food in the kitchen, puts it on a tray & takes it into the garden. Then, she lightly taps Wags on the shoulder to wake him up.)

Dorothy: (She whispers.) Wags? Wags, wake up.

Wags: (He groans, while he's waking up.) Hello? Oh, hi Dorothy (he blows his nose).

Dorothy: Hi Wags, I'm sorry to wake you, but I've got a surprise for you.

(She picks up the tray & places it next to Wags.)

Wags: (He barks.) It's vegetable soup and orange juice. Thank you Dorothy, it's my favourite healthy snack.

Dorothy: You're very welcome Wags. Hmm, I know a song about Vegetable soup. If only the rosy orchestra were here to play the music.

(Then, the rosy orchestra appear on the rose bush stairs.)

Dominic: Here we are. Some music might help you feel a bit better Wags.

Dorothy: Come along and join in every body.

Dorothy: Oh, Wags why are you looking so sad?

Wags: Well, I've finished my vegetable soup, and it was delicious. But I'm still hungry for dessert.

Dorothy: Did you say dessert?

(She takes a bowl of fruit salad off her tray.)

Dorothy: Listen to this!

Wags: You truly are a great friend, and thanks for all of the delicious food. But I think I'm ready for another nap now.
