Lownote Jones recruits Branch, Val, Gus Tumbleweed and Laguna Tidepool to "petsit" his exotic pet snug-a-lug, the most adorable critter in the universe. But there's one rule that they must never break: you can't hug a snug-a-lug!

The Country Trolls see something special in Branch, and invite him to a try-out for their rodeo. But when Branch struggles to keep up, he has to resort to increasingly desperate attempts to keep his "special" status, especially once the Country Trolls discover that Biggie is a rodeo savant.
