Travis' Giddy Day is the seventh episode of the thirteenth season.
Plot
Travis comes into Bob's Yard with Farmer Pickles and Spud, carrying a special trailer. There, Bob explains that he is building a goat run for Farmer Pickles, and that Travis and Spud will have to go to his farm back at Bobsville to collect Giddy (a Cashmere goat) for the goat run. Spud, while excited to meet Giddy, is annoyed that he has to go with Travis, who he thinks will make the trip take ages. Angry, Travis rebuttals that he could travel quickly, and leaves in a huff to collect Giddy.
While the rest of the gang start to build the goat run, Travis arrives at Bobsville, where he meets Meg McDonald, a goat breeder, who brought Giddy with her. After loading Giddy on his special trailer, she advises Travis to travel carefully, to which he unfortunately does not heed, as he races back to Sunflower Valley. Unfortunately, Travis hits a large bump too fast, and Giddy escapes from the trailer. Spud then wanders by, looking for heather to give to Giddy. Travis explains to Spud that he lost Giddy, so the two set off to look for Giddy. After a while, they try making goat noises to get her attention, and split up.
Meanwhile, Bob and Wendy are being greeted by unwelcome visitors while building the Goat Run. First a sheep wanders in; then Scruffty finds the run too, followed by a duck & a red cow. Eventually, it gets so crowded that the two have to make the machines to deal with the animals (to their indifference) until they are finished.
When Travis and Spud meet up with each other again, both unsuccessful in finding Giddy, they both hear her off in the distance. Travis desperately makes chase with her, but he goes so fast that he ends up crashing the trailer in between two trees, breaking it in the process, and frightening Giddy, who runs off. While the two try and think of ways to get Giddy, Spud ends up bumping into her by accident (Albeit offscreen). She ends up taking a liking to Spud's scarf and tries to eat it. Travis gets an idea; He gets Giddy to follow him and Spud by letting her eat his scarf, as they travel at a slow and careful pace.
Eventually, they reach the new Goat Run, which had finally been finished. The machines take a liking to Giddy, while she takes a liking to the goat run. She races towards the run, and is followed by the other animals, who all want a turn on the "Animal Run". Farmer Pickles curiously asks what happened to Travis's Trailer, to which Travis responds, "It's a Loooooong Story." The animals all love the new Animal Run, with Giddy liking it the most, although Wendy couldn't say the same about the smell.
