(3) 1-3 Down Girl and Sit series. Illustrated by Mike Reed. Dogs Down Girl and Sit learn what happens when they leave fences behind while vacationing with their owners. At a dude ranch they meet Git Along, who explains about the ranch's varmints, including prairie dogs and and "ugly dogs" (coyotes). As in the pups' other adventures, this one features lots of silly jokes, some light adventure, and loads of fun.
