## Stats

**Keep on Dreaming, Sigue Sonando** is the fifth and last extended episode of *El Perro y El Gato* that aired on September 15, 2011.

## New Friends, Nuevos Amigos

Perro is outside on a picnic blanket admiring nature **(naturaleza),** but Gato is missing. Perro is sure that he went out for a walk **(paseo)** and decides to eat a tasty apple **(manzana)**, but he opens the basket and finds Gato who had eaten all the apples. Gato apologizes and burps. Perro then wants to play basketball **(baloncesto**), so the two go over to the court.

Perro does all kinds of tricks with the basketball, while Gato just sits down and reads. Perro nevertheless makes a goal in his hoop, but the ball rolls away although Gato goes after it. It rolls into another basketball court where a group of dogs is at. Gato asks them if he can have the ball **(pelota)** back, but they start snapping their fingers and singing to Gato that he is a cat and he is in the wrong park. Perro comes to his rescue and starts singing to other cats about how Gato is his best friend even if he isn't a dog. They also go to the court and when the other dogs are staring at Perro and the cats, Gato attempts to escape but he walks on the ball and it actually slips and goes into the hoop. The other dogs are wowed and want Gato to teach them his neat skills.

## Library, Biblioteca

While doing some laundry, Perro realizes today is the date for returning a library **(biblioteca)** book **(libro)**. Gato is reading the book that has a lion, before getting told by Perro that's he going to the library because he has to return the book. Gato refuses to give him the book until it ends up in Perro's hands. Gato and Perro then leave. While on their walking trip, they marvel at the orange, gold, and red fall leaves, which Gato falls into a pile of them.

At the library, Perro tells Gato to put the book here **(alla)** into the return slot, so he does sadly. After he does, they go and find a new book to read. Perro finds a book about Australia, and they imagine they are there. Gato throws a boomerang and a kangaroo **(canguro)** appears. The baby in her pouch gives Perro a book with pirates **(piratas)** which transitions the scene to Perro and Gato on a pirate ship. An octopus suddenly appears and gives Perro a scary book, transitioning the scene to a haunted house with ghosts **(fantasmas)** that Gato is afraid of. Perro switches on a vacuum that sucks them in, and then Perro spits them back into the book. They are now back in the library, but there's one final monster **(monstruo)** that goes into the book. Perro sees a sign for story hour **(hora de cuentos)**, so they go inside and listen to a hedgehog begin a story about a beautiful mermaid.

## Chimpanzees, Chimpances

It is late at night and Perro is reading a book about chimpanzees **(chimpances)** in Africa. He asks Gato, who is trying to go to sleep, if they are cute, and starts making chimpanzee sounds. Gato tells him to stop making the awful noise **(ruido)**. Perro wishes he could go to Africa, and then he climbs into bed and shuts his eyes.

Perro then starts dreaming that he and Gato fly into Africa. They meet an alligator who asks for their passports and also asks if they are on vacation **(vacaciones)**, to which Perro replies that they are here to see a famous biologist, and Gato also says they want to see chimpanzees. Perro tells Gato to look over there **(alla)** and meet Jane the biologist, who tells them to hurry **(apurate)** into her truck as she has a special job for the two. They head into the forest where she tells them that a chimpanzee is looking for her baby **(bebe)** who ran away frightened after some people cut down the forest, so Perro and Gato seek the baby chimp so he can reunite with his mommy **(mami)**.

They search high and low in the forest until Perro finds him here **(mira)**, hanging on a vine and eating grapes on the bushes. Gato swings on a vine and crashes into the bushes, and the baby chimpanzee lands on his hat while Gato eats the grapes. Perro states they need to return him now **(ahora)**, so the two chimps meet each other once again. Jane tells them "well done" **("bien hecho")** and the mother chimp gives Perro a flower. Gato wakes Perro up from his dream, in which he tells him that he's trying to "save the rainforest" and finds the pink flower in his bed. He tells him that everything is fine now, confusing Gato even more.

## Holidays, Dias de Fiesta

The alarm clock rings one snowy morning, waking up (or startling) Gato. He tells Perro to wake up but he says that they don't need to as today is a holiday **(dia de fiesta)**. Gato thinks it is Perro's birthday **(cumpleanos)**, and then thinks it's his birthday, and the scene briefly flips to Perro at the table with a cake, but Perro says it's not his birthday nor is it Gato's either, he explains it is just a holiday where something special is celebrated without cake and fetches a box of holiday hats.

The scene cuts to Perro and Gato watching the ball drop that falls at midnight on New Year's Day (Dia de Ano Nuevo), to which Gato comments that they should be in bed. The next holiday they visit is Valentine's Day **(Dia de San Valentin)** in the clouds, where Perro explains that Cupid brings chocolates to whoever is in love, which Gato attempts to get. They (well, Gato) falls down in front of Mount Rushmore, where Perro mentions President's Day **(Dia de los Presidentes)**. Perro then explains the Fourth of July **(Cuatro de Julio)**, America's birthday, while grilling in front of a parade. Gato tries to eat a hot dog but the fireworks startle him. They transition into Halloween **(Dia de las Brujas)** and Perro gets candy while dressed up as Dracula. Gato tries to climb up the stairs but his candy corn costume is too bulky. And then they go to the Thanksgiving **(Dia de dar Gracias)** dinner table, where Gato swallows his plate of food extremely fast. Perro then talks about Chanukah **(Januca)** and the eight-night candles, and finally, they arrive on Christmas **(Navidad)** in front of a tree with presents. Outside, they see Santa and his reindeer fly by.

## Firefighters, Bomberos

Perro and Gato are playing with an airplane and firetruck respectively. Perro makes airplane noises while running around but Gato tells him to be quieter as firefighters **(bomberos)** need to concentrate. Gato says that he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up, and starts imagining.

Perro and Gato arrive at the station as it is their first day on the job **(trabajo)**. They walk up the stairs inside the station and meet all the fire dogs and other animals, as well as Perro's twin cousin who is the chief. Gato mentions his nice mustache when suddenly the alarm starts to go off. Perro's cousin gives him and Gato a helmet **(casco)** and fire clothes then the team drives off to a tree where a cat is stuck. Gato states don't worry **(no te preocupes)** and gets the ladder **(escalera)**. He climbs up and gets the kitten and wraps it up, then the crew pass it down and returns it to its mother. Everyone leaves but now there's another problem, and now Gato himself is stuck. He claims that this is not how he imagined being a firefighter.

## Favorites, Favoritos

Gato gets his things and is ready to go outside **(afuera)**, but Perro tells him he can't because it is raining **(lloviendo)** and it is cold **(frio)**. Gato says he is bored **(aburrido)**, so Perro says they can just imagine they are somewhere else. He tells Gato to "Close your eyes!" **("Cierra los ojos!")**

Perro imagines that the two are on a tall mountain, and Perro sings on top of it. Gato attempts to climb up but he rolls down the mountain and goes flying into a nearby village, and falls on a poodle's table at a restaurant outside. He takes her sausage and tells Perro that he is imagining that he's eating until the waiter swipes the food away. Perro tells him to think of things he likes and starts singing while showing him a slideshow of the things he likes. Gato also does the same thing. Perro asks if he wants a salad, but Gato doesn't like it. Perro starts singing about all kinds of vegetables, but Gato sings about the things that he likes to eat. Perro says that he needs to eat healthier and also sings about fruits. Gato says that he's bored and they sing some more.
