Join your "berry" special friend, Strawberry Shortcake, for more delightful fun! In "Here Comes Pupcake," Strawberry takes in a little lost dog named Pupcake, but her spoiled house cat, Custard, does everything to make the peppy puppy want to leave! Then, in "Peppermint's Pet Peeve," sneaky Peppermint Fizz cheats so that her pet, Cola Chameleon, wins a pet competition, only to learn that no one has to "win" anything in order to be happy and have fun!
