Dear Terry, What a great party I went to! Nothing beats a birthday party after a long drive in the car! I made sure to say hello to each and everyone there! Then I was a little surprised because I went into the dining room and I smelled birthday cake! It had cream cheese icing like mine. OOOO and I could see it too!! So I stood up and was going to maybe try a piece...FRED GET DOWN. OOOPS not my cake!! Mom moved it up high so I couldn't get any. And then we opened gifts. Lots of paper and boxes and giggling and laughing! Nephew Nolan was playing the piano and I was keeping watch on the yard by looking out the window and all of a sudden a SQUIRREL flew past the window, I went crazy barking!!! Where did he come from??? I ran into Aunt Laura, I ran into the sofa, the chair, Gram Maria, my feet were sliding all over the slippery floor, I couldn't stop barking! I bonked off the coffee table and FINALLY made it to the front door to see that squirrel run up a tree. Next time I'll get him!!! The music kind of stopped for a minute. Mom said I scared the living daylights out of everyone! I almost caused a birthday disaster BUT I bet that squirrel doesn't try and do that again! Oh and Nolan took me for a walk all around the yard in my new harness. I'm real careful when I walk with him so that I don't pull too hard or scare him. What a great walk!! And I sat in the front door window with Nephew Sam. I sat real quiet with him so he knows that I'm a good dog and doesn't have to be afraid. OH and best of ALL. Aunt Sue made bacon!!!! As soon as that package was open, I was there to help in any way I could. She makes it in the oven so a whole bunch of bacon cooks all at once and the smell goes all through the kitchen. I got lots of the cooked bacon as treats!! What a great trip!

Love and Woofs, FredDog

P.S. Juneau Cat told me that him and Penny Cat and Dad all had a No Dog Pizza Party while I was gone. I'm not sure if I should be mad about that or not. So I asked him if he had cake too like I did and He hissed in my face. He still doesn't like me.
