Dear Terry, I've been a little down in the dumps lately. Dad can't play with me because of his bum foot. Mom's been really busy. Today was such a nice day outside. I wanted to go for a walk. But Mom was doing stuff. I kept going to the door thinking she would take me for a ride and a walk. No luck. I flopped down on my bed and sighed. Maybe she could play with me later on. Mom stopped what she was doing and said What's This?? A Mopey Dog??? We don't have Mopey Dogs in this house! She grabbed her keys and the leash and said Let's Go Fred!! I ran all through the house I was so excited! We ran to the car. Mom said we were going to the Nature Park. My favorite place! I couldn't stop barking. What a great walk in the park! There was still a lot of snow to plow through, and allll kinds of smells to smell. I found deer poop but Mom wouldn't let me roll in it. We went on my favorite trail. We didn't get too far because of all the ice and mud. I don't like mud since it makes my feet yucky. This time I didn't care, I slopped right in it! I got mud on my face and tail and everywhere on me. That was a bit worrisome. Mom said don't worry I can clean you off. Whew! Me and dirt don't get along. When we got home I ran and found Dad and told him all about it. I'm so pooped out that I'm going to take a nap. No more Mopey Dog here!

Love Fred Dog.
