The Sunnyside Pugs
Synopsis
It’s cold and miserable in Wisconsin.
The electricity has gone out and the furnace won’t run.
Cissy, Ingah and Bea are snowed in.
Their nearest neighbour is out of town and they are stranded.
They don’t have a telephone, radio or a flashlight.
The roads are blocked.
To make matters worse Bea is acting strangely.
She has a deranged look in her eyes and she isn’t making a lot of sense.
Cissy and Ingah are frightened.
They are out in the middle of nowhere and one of them is acting crazy.
How will the pugs handle this latest disaster?
Come along with me, let’s peek through the window and see what happens.
Will the pugs be okay?
Will Bea go completely unhinged?
Will they survive until spring?
Shh…I see Bea rolling around on the floor arms and legs flying about….
She appears to be delirious, completely unstable.
Cissy looks worried and I hear Ingah crying.
Let’s huddle together and see what happens……
The three pugs are snowed in, the telephone is out, they have no heat or electricity. How will the three pugs handle the latest disaster?
Excerpt
It was last January when it happened.
It was cold and windy in Wisconsin.
The snow was falling, the wind was howling, the roads were drifted shut.
The pugs were in their library munching on treats, drinking hot tea, watching a movie and playing a board game.
They were having a grand time. They were giggling, singing and gulping their tea.
Ingah was reading the Bingo numbers while the other two pugs played
the game.
Just when Bea yelled, “BINGO!!!!” They heard a loud crunch, swoosh and a thump.
The lights went out, the movie went blank and the background music shut down.

Sunnyset Pugs
By Lela Labree Stute
5 out of 5 stars
Great winter tale of three pugs up to more misadventures. Watch as they get into more mischief with the beautiful winter background. The hidden gem of this book is the plaid pug coats the pugs sport in the great photos.

Review of The Sunnyset Pugs by Lela Labree Stute
The Pug Series continues with The Sunnyset Pugs by Lela LaBree Stute. In this adventure, the Pugs are stuck at home in a snowstorm with no electric or phone. They must find a way to eat, stay warm, and occupy themselves until the storm passes.
The Sunnyset Pugs is a fun story that young readers will enjoy. As always, the pages are filled with full color photos taken by the author herself. I give this one four stars****.

This review is from: The Sunnyset Pugs (Paperback)
The Sunnyset Pugs was an excellent book on how siblings can work together and have an excellent outcome. I absolutely loved this book. Living in ND where I grew up in the country with lots of snowstorms and getting snowed in once in a while, I could actually put myself in their shoes. How difficult it was for our parents to make sure we were warm and o.k. and how fun it was for the kids to be snowed in and to not have electricity and find something else to entertain us with.The pugs had that same adventure. I love how Bea takes over in the parent role/big sister role. She feels so important. She just takes right over and takes care of her little sisters. Another great lesson for siblings to learn, taking care of each other in hard difficult times. Great book.
Patrick is just about to celebrate his second birthday, and all of a sudden, he is afraid of the dark. What happens next offers a wonderful respite for siblings to learn. This book is a Mom’s Choice Awards® Silver seal of excellence Recipient in fam
