To examine the observed properties of dwarf galaxies in the LG, we use the compilation from \citet{McConnachie2012}, which includes all galaxies known at that time within $3 \mpc$ of the Sun.  %We select ``dwarf'' galaxies as $\mstar\lesssim10^9\msun$, including the LMC ($\mstar=1.5\times10^9\msun$).  The catalog includes We also include  the distance more recent measurements or upper limits  of each galaxy cold atomic gas mass  from both \citet{Spekkens2014}.  We do not include the recently discovered ultra-faint satellites of  the MW and M31, and we from the Dark Energy Survey \citep{Koposov2015, DES2015}, though if they are all quiescent, their inclusion would not change our results.  We  define ``satellites'' ``satellite'' galaxies  as those within $300\kpc$ of either host, the MW or M31,  motivated by the observed sharp transition in star formation, gas, and morphological properties within this distance. %$300\kpc$ also coincides with the median virial radius, $\rvir$, for our simulated MW/M31 halos (see below).  In addition to the data in \citet{McConnachie2012}, we also include the more recent measurements or upper limits of cold atomic gas mass from \citet{Spekkens2014}.  We do not include the recently discovered ultra-faint satellites of the MW from the Dark Energy Survey \citep{Koposov2015, DES2015}, though if they are all quiescent galaxies, their inclusion would not change our results.  Observed dwarf galaxies show a tight correlation between their morphology, star formation, and cold gas content: all spheroidals have little-to-no detectable cold gas \citep[e.g.,][]{Grcevich_2009} or ongoing star formation, and almost all irregulars have significant cold gas mass and ongoing star formation.  Thus, we define ``quiescent'' satellites galaxies  as those with $\mgas/\mstar<0.1$ or with colors and morphologies that resemble spheroidals if they have no cold gas constraints. By this definition, the only star-forming, gas-rich satellites are: LMC ($\mstar=1.5\times10^9\msun$, $\mgas/\mstar\approx0.3$) and SMC ($\mstar=4.6\times10^8\msun$, $\mgas/\mstar\sim1$) around the MW, LGS 3 ($\mstar=9.6\times10^5\msun$, $\mgas/\mstar\approx0.4$) and IC 10 ($\mstar=9\times10^7$, $\mgas/\mstar\approx0.6$) around M31.  %(While Sculptor has $\mgas / \mstar \approx 0.096$, we consider it quiescent based on its morphology and lack of recent star formation \citep{Weisz2014a}).  %(Dan or Erik - can you say something about comparing these cuts with either SFR metrics or SFHs?
