As soon as Little Dawnie's eyes close, she wakes up next to her friend Dog. Poking him awake, she excitedly says, "Wake up! We are going to a special place called a Dude Ranch. It's like a farm where guests can ride horses and experience life on the prairie for a night!" They thought, "Dude Ranch in Yucca, Arizona, " and, opening their eyes, they saw horses and smelled the scent of animals. Ning was less excited to see the dirt, but she thought, "I will think clean many times." After a hearty Cowboy Dinner, they were treated to a lively performance by the Cowboys, with the Spin-offs adding to the fun.
Little Dawnie was overjoyed to hear Cowboy Daddy Shirl's rendition of "My Funny Valentine" with the lead singer, Dawnzella, who looked familiar.  Little Dawnie was pleased that Dawnzella sat with them and talked to Boss like she knew him. Dawnzella invited Little Dawnie to share her sleeping bag. Little Dawnie noticed Dawnzella's eyes looked like hers and her Mommie's. Dawnzella said, "Someday you will understand how your mommy, Cowboy Daddy  Shirl, and I know each other."
