Dear Terry, Sad news. Juneau Cat isn't coming back, he was just too sick. Mom said he was your friend too. I've never seen Mom and Dad so sad before. I tried my best to cheer them up. I think they miss him a whole lot. He was old as dirt and knew all kinds of stuff. Mom, Dad and him were the best of friends. They had an idea though. Mom calls it Operation Good Dog. I didn't know what that was at first. Mom says that it means no more gate, that me and Penny Cat can be full time friends now. But for that to happen I have to be GOOD. Like better than better. Gooder than good. GOOD. Penny keeps hiding from me though. Mom says maybe that's because I'm not being good enough. I'm not allowed to chase her or bark like a wild dog. I have to be calm so she doesn't get scared. I think it is working. She keeps peeking out at me and then I lose her! She's pretty smart at outsmarting me. She must like me because she lets me eat all the leftover food in her bowl and drink her water. Mom says that has to stop. Sigh. This being GOOD is hard! I can tell Penny misses Juneau Cat because she keeps checking his bed and the sofa. Mom said that it is up to me to help her not be sad and be her friend. So I will be GOOD!

Love and Woofs, FredDog

P.S. Penny Cat here. I don't know WHAT Mom and Dad are thinking letting FredDog loose in the house. All I want is my friend Juneau Cat to come back. Instead, FredDog is running amok everywhere now. He eats all my food, drinks my water. Mom said she will fix that so he can't do it anymore.  He sat on my blanket!! I wish he would calm down a bit so I can tell him we can be friends but there are some RULES he has to learn. Like I'm first in this house. But he is kindof fun to be around. And I like to tell him stuff. Maybe this isn't so bad after all. I miss Juneau.

Meow Meow, Penny Cat
