Hi Terry! I got Mom up as soon as I heard the birdies singing outside! We walked all around the yard. We had lots of visitors last night and I could smell where they had been. The raccoons stopped by, they were really loud. The deer came through the yard too. And Mr. O. Possum. He walks slow but always checks out the birdie feeder. Then later on today, me and Mom went to the firehouse trail. It goes in a big circle through the woods and over the swamp. First we walked over the levee. Then up the little hill with the big rock. But then I smelled SOMETHING. Mom always says I smell "something wicked this way comes", that means I smell danger or bad things. I was growling and the fur on my back stood up. I showed my teeth too. There was something bad on the other side of the hill. I wouldn't go forward. That's how I tell Mom, I wont move and I won't let her pass me. We turned around. I kept looking back because I could still smell it. We never did see what it was, but I can tell you it wasn't good. Not like when I see deer. I bark myself silly at them. Mom always says you can't be too careful Fred. And then she gave me big pets back in the car. I came home and told Dad all about it and he said GOOD JOB Freddie and I got a meat stick! How great is that!?

Love and Woofs, Fred Dog.
