Bub the pug has never seen snow before, and when Duchess the cat tells him it is frozen rain he is appalled and does not want to go out even to play with his human, Bella--but the week is about to get worse because a new family has moved in next door, and they apparently have a pet monster (at least if Nutz the squirrel can be believed) and Bella's mother has arranged a play date for Sunday.

Bella, Baron von Bubbles's human, is putting on a pet talent show for the summer block party, and Bub would really like to show off his skateboarding stunts, but when the dress rehearsal goes wrong he must rely on his archenemy, Duchess the cat, to make sure the talent show is a success.

Bub the pug and his human, Bella, cannot wait to teach Nana's new pup, Harlow, some new tricks, but they soon realize training a puppy is not as easy as they thought.

When the local animal shelter can't afford new toys, it's up to Bub and his human, Bella, to save the day. But how could they possibly raise the money? A pet wash, of course! Fun and high jinks abound as Bella and Bub learn that running a pet wash is harder and wetter than it looks. With full-color artwork throughout, this funny and charming diary-format early chapter book is perfect for anyone who believes a furry pal is the best kind of friend.
