Full House: D.J.’s Very First Horse

Wake Up, San Francisco is broadcasting an episode from a horse stable, where D.J. meets a horse named Rocket. She desperately wants a pet, and thinks that he will fit the bill. However, the only way that she will get him is if she has enough money to make the payments needed ($100) every two weeks, so she and her best friend Kimmy pool their money together in order to start making Rocket’s stable payments, without Danny knowing it. D.J. thinks he will not let her have Rocket unless she proves to him that she can handle the responsibility that comes with owning a pet. Her plan consists of secretly keeping up the payments for a couple of weeks, and then telling Danny about Rocket, as she figures that two weeks is enough to prove to Danny that she can handle the responsibility so he will not refuse.

When Kimmy blows her half of the money on shopping at the mall, D.J. cannot make the next stable payment. So, in a desperate effort to make sure she does not lose Rocket, she takes him to the house with her. Danny is shocked when he comes home and sees Rocket in the house. He tells D.J. to take him back to the stable. While there, D.J. bids him farewell, thinking that she will lose him. However, what she is delighted to discover is that Becky has decided to become Rocket’s new owner and make the stable payments, because she misses the times when she and her family had horses in Nebraska. Danny agrees to let D.J. help Becky take care of Rocket.

Kimmy: Well, I asked my mom about the horse.

D.J.: What did she say?

Kimmy: She said, ‘Kimberly Louise Gibbler, have you lost your mind?’ I didn’t really have an answer for that.
