Good
morning. My name is Down Girl.
This is my neighbor. Her name is Sit.
And so begin the adventures of two clueless canines. The Down Girl and Sit series of illustrated chapter books looks at life in the backyard from the well-meaning but misguided viewpoint of man's best friend. The series was inspired by my two setters, Nutmeg and Becky.
