Dear Terry, Guess what!? Me and Mom took another walk today! This time we went to the walking track. Mom says I need to work on being a good dog everywhere and not just around the house. The walking track has all kinds of scary things to me though so it was really hard to be good. Like joggers. They come up behind you pretty fast. Sometimes there are kids on bikes. Bikes scare me. In class I had learned not to be afraid of strollers but bikes are still hard for me. Sometimes me and Mom jog. Today, no jogging for us. I had to walk real good for Mom. Mom pulled me aside to give me a chance to be good. When something scary started to get near us, Mom stopped me and helped me to remember how to stay calm even if I didn't have my mat with me. I've been learning that my mat is my calm down place. I try and remember to stay calm because it makes things much easier for me and much more fun. It doesn't work all the time. Although, Mom told me I got a "B" for the day. That must mean 'cause I was "being" good! Woof!

Barks and Wags, Fred Dog!
