* BigFriendlyDog: "Adventures in Puppy-Sitting" introduces Baby, a puppy who is younger than Bingo and Rolly, but bigger than either of them, due to the fact that she is a Great Dane puppy. She's also very playful, and quickly makes friends with Bingo, Rolly and Hissy.

When Bingo and Rolly hitch a ride to Bob's mom's house in the mail truck, Bingo suggests a series of complicated maneuvers that will get them over to her mailbox so they can post Bob's Mother's Day card. Rolly instead has them hide in the mail carrier's satchel, so they can simply place the card in the mailbox as they pass by.
