Grooming Day
Mum announces it’s grooming day. Laifu sighs; Nini flees. The tub, the bubbles, the brushing — it’s a full spa experience. At first, it’s all protest paws and soggy ears. But by the end, the girls feel soft, clean, and radiant. One even strikes a little pose in the mirror…
Tricks, Treats, and Tails
It’s Halloween! Laifu loves all the action — decorations, smells, costumes. Nini… is not so sure. Children dressed as monsters? Glowing pumpkins? But as the evening unfolds, Nini learns that even the wildest chaos can become joy. By the end, she’s the one chasing the skeleton costume down the path.
Puzzle Day
It’s pouring outside, so Mum sets up a treat puzzle game indoors to keep the girls busy. Laifu tackles it like a bulldozer — fast, loud, enthusiastic. Nini watches, waits… and ends up outsmarting the whole setup with quiet cunning. By the end, they’ve both earned their snacks — and a little more respect for each other.
Laifu Hurts Her Paw
While roughhousing with Little Black (her energetic playmate), Laifu gets her paw hurt. At first, she hides, limps, and tries to be tough. But Nini notices. Mum responds with quiet care. The episode focuses on gentle healing, warm blankets, paw kisses, and the way family holds you through it all. By the end, Laifu feels better — not just because of the bandage, but because of the love.
Nini Loves Ayi
Ayi (the cleaner) arrives for her weekly visit. Laifu is unfazed. But Nini? Hides. The vacuum roars. The mop swishes. Everything smells different. But over time, Nini watches Ayi with growing curiosity — until one day, her fear flips into affection. By the end, Nini becomes Ayi’s #1 greeter… and possibly a small shadow that follows her everywhere.
The Spring Chicken
In the garden, Nini discovers a new friend: a young spring chick. But she’s a little too excited. She pounces, she plays, she chases — and the chick panics. Mum intervenes, gently explaining how to treat small things gently. By the end, Nini and the chick sit side by side, tails and feathers calm, learning to trust each other again.
