Review the item:
Madison slept at the very edge
of the bed, one leg dangling over the side, because Yo-Yo, her little dog,
lay stretched out in the middle
of the quilt and bitt any limb that invaded
her territory.
The third verb, bitt, is the problem. The sentence requires the simple past. Bit is the correctly spelled form.

Lay, the verb you chose, is perfectly correct. Before you continue, review the rules for irregular verbs.
