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.

Bub the pug and his human Bella plan a pirate-themed sleepover with their friends and discover that even as the best-laid plans go awry they can still have fun.

Baron von Bubbles (Bub) the pug, Duchess the cat, and their human, Bella, are going to the countryside to visit Bella's grandmother for a few days, where they expect to have fun building forts and dressing up in the attic--but the attic seems to be haunted, and neither Bub nor Duchess can summon up the courage to face the ghost.

It is Bub the pug's first trip to the beach, and Bella wants to enter him in a pet-surfing contest, but Bub is scared of the ocean and refuses, so he hopes to make it up to Bella by presenting her with the treasure at the end of the map he found.
