Summary[]
Doctor Flooey tells Wubbzy he has a case of the tired tail and must stay home and rest, but Wubbzy would rather play on such an exciting day.
Recap[]
Wubbzy, Widget and Walden are playing with a Flipety-Flip outside. Then Wubbzy accidentally throws it into a tree. He tries to jump up and get it back down using his tail, only to realize his tail lost it's spring.
Meanwhile, Doctor Flooey checks his tail and diagnoses him with a Tired Tail, which will require lots of rest to heal. However, Wubbzy doesn't want to rest because of so many exciting things happening that day: the Wuzzleburg Bake-Off, Moo Moo's Magic Show, and a big Kickety Kickball game, but Doctor Flooey says he has to skip those events to rest his tail.
At first, Wubbzy doesn't listen, but each time he goes out to these events, he aggravates his tired tail. Back at Wubbzy's House, Wubbzy's tail is severely injured and totally red, so Widget and Walden help him see how he can do all those things while resting his tail at home. After that, Wubbzy realizes his tail has completely healed, and he and his friends go outside so Wubbzy can spring up to the tree the Flipety-Flip was stuck in and get it down.
Upon resuming the game of Flipety Flip, Widget and Walden bump into each other, earning themselves a tired head and a tired elbow, respectively.

Goofs[]
- When Wubbzy returns to the doctor after his tail gets better, the x-ray image of his tail in the background wasn't changed. The image had Wubbzy's tail drooping down, but in reality, his tail was raised. The doctor probably left the image up so he could see the difference between the tired tail and the healed tail.
