Dear Terry,  Mom's been sick with a cold. I tried to help her when she came home from work Friday. She went right to bed. I laid down with her to help keep her warm. I didn't even play with the covers. Dad tried to help but I growled and barked at him. I know I'm not supposed to but Mom was trying to sleep and get better! But then I remembered how Mom taught me to listen to Dad when she is sick. Dad said WHOAAAA FREDDIE in his stern voice. I sat down. I didn't want to get in trouble. It's what I do, I sit when I get in trouble. Can't get in more trouble when you are only sitting right? That's what Mom says and I believe her. I inspected everything Dad was giving Mom. One of the things was a pop tart. Mom likes those. She fell asleep with it in her hand. I might have nibbled it. OK, I nibbled it a lot. I MIGHT have eaten half of it. Sure was tasty! I'm sure she didn't notice....
