1.  The First Weekend - This story takes place the weekend Sherry brings the The Glamorous Margueritepuppy home.  In her debut, Metro meets Sherry's grumpy cat, Butterscotch, Sherry's neighbor Lori, and Lori's identical twin sisters who are ice dancers.  Metro helps plant a veggie garden, takes a walk at midnight, and even goes ballroom dancing!

2.  Metro Goes To Hollywood - Metro meets the glamorous Marguerite, Sherry's best friend since Kindergarten.  Metro gets Playmate, a friendly kitty, to play with. The girls take Metro to Hollywood where she rides on the subway and sings at an opera. Hilarity ensues as the crowd goes wild.  Metro gives her "Metrograph" to fans with her paw print on their Playbills.  She graduates with honors from Puppy Kindergarten and gets a miniature tiara for winning Miss Congeniality.

3.  Metro Goes Stargazing - Metro takes a trip out to the desert in Lucerne Valley for a night of stargazing with friends.  She climbs a rocky hill and sees Saturn through a telescope.  That night Sherry has a dream that she and Metro are tap dancing on Saturn's rings.

Marguerite, Lori, and Sherry reap the harvests of the vegetable garden and have a backyard BBQ and campout. Marguerite reads scary stories in the tent on Sherry's iPad.  Metro helps Sherry make a big decision which surprises everyone. Especially Sherry!

The Inspiration For Lori4.  METRO! TAWNY! GIZZY!  - Metro gets two Forever Friends! Tawny is a coppery colored doggy who always barks twice and Gizzy is a white dog whose eyes are bigger than Malted Milk Balls. Marguerite and Sherry take the dogs up to the mountains and Sherry realizes she doesn't want to leave. She tries to convince glamorous Marguerite to go camping, but Marguerite's idea of "roughing it" is a five star hotel.  They finally reach a compromise.  Then Sherry surprises Marguerite with an astounding statement.  Marguerite surprises Sherry with another astounding statement!

5.  METRO GOES RETRO! - It's a hot July night and Sherry cannot sleep.  She's just decided to get a cabin in the mountains so that she can take the pups on vacation whenever she wants. It's 3 a.m. and she starts to read A Tale of Two Cities.  After the first line she becomes a little girl of seven years old!  The year is 1958 and she is at Disneyland with her parents and Metro. Tawny, Gizzy, and the rest of the gang also make appearances in this fanciful dreamscape where carousel horses really gallop, Lori and Marguerite swim with the swans, and Lori and her twin sisters become very small to do an Irish jig. "Was it all a just dream?" Sherry wonders.  She peers closely at Metro.  There, on Metro's tiny black nose, is a mysterious clue.
