Concerned that the poodle king was not making enough friends, his regents prevailed upon his fuzziness to attend doggie day care and hopefully meet some nice puppies. Although he showed some interest, Peppa is a shy king, and he wasn't able to make any friends. The woman at day care said that the poodle king had no social skills! Imagine!

After another try at doggie day care with the same results, the regents decided that King Peppa needed to have an activity. He started agility lessons that day; at last an activity worthy of the king of poodles!

King Peppa met his first real friend, Chloe the wheaten terrier. The regents decided that since the poodle king is shy, it might be better to try to introduce him to one new dog at a time. He and Chloe began having play dates, and Peppa gradually warmed up to her and the two became great friends! Yay!

Since the weather was getting hot and King Peppa was spending more time outside, he began taking medicine to ward off the evil flea and tick armies that have been seen lurking outside the castle. So far he has yet to succumb to a single attack!

Recently King Peppa has added a new title to his long list: "matmaker." No matter how often his regent combed and brushed him, his long fur always developed mats. Finally, it was time for another visit to the royal barber, and for the poodle king's first close haircut. He also had the fur on his ears trimmed to be more fashionable. However, there was an unexpected result: everyone who meets King Peppa thinks he's a girl! Oh, the shame!
