Woodstock stands in his birdbath. He holds a hockey stick. Snoopy approaches, also carrying a hockey stick. Woodstock mentions a puck.<BR><BR> Snoopy and Woodstock face each other on the iced-over birdbath. A puck lies between them. Snoopy thinks, "Here's the face off for the start of the big hockey game.."<BR><BR> "OW! He hit me on the shin!" Snoopy thinks as he jumps into the air. He grits his teeth.<BR><BR> "OW! OOOOO!! OW!" Snoopy dances around in pain.<BR><BR> Snoopy thinks, "YOU STUPID BIRD! YOU KNEW I DIDN'TM HAVE ANY SHIN PADS ON"<BR><BR> "OW1 OOOOO1 OW!! OW!! OOOOO!" Snoopy walks away, still shaking his leg. Woodstock stands on the ledge of the birdbath and watches him go.<BR><BR> We see Snoopy's doghouse. Snoopy's thought box floats out from indoors: "Now I have to spend the next hour sitting in my whirpool bath..."<BR><BR>
A five-ounce bird whacks a 10-pound dog on the shin, and he cries about it? Wimp. Woodstock wouldn’t even be able to carry a coconut.
