The first story, "Skits Under the Weather," focuses on Skits, the Lorraine's family dog, who is feeling unwell. He is not interested in his favorite foods and even refuses to play fetch. Everyone in the family is worried about Skits and wants him to feel better.
Martha, the talking dog, tries to help Skits in every possible way. She creates a pot of stew for Skits and offers him a cozy blanket to keep him warm. She also tries to lift his spirits by telling him some jokes and playing some music. However, nothing seems to work. Eventually, they visit the vet.
