Dear Terry, Mom TRICKED ME today. She had a piece of chicken in her hand and walked all through the house and into the bathroom and shut the door!! At first I was too busy eating chicken and then I realized HEY, that only happens when it's BATH TIME. Mom said, Rub-A-Dub-Dub Put the Puppy in the TUB! Oh my gosh I hate getting a bath. My feet get wet!! I'm funny about my feet you know. And Dad helped! I thought he loved me best! UGHHHH! I accidentally scraped Dad on the arm real bad and he was bleeding all over the place. Even that didn't stop Mom from getting me all wet and sudsy. Boy, lots of fur came off. I got Mom back though. As soon as I was allowed out of the tub and before Dad could get a towel on me I stood right in front of Mom and shook all the water off in a big giant spray of water everywhere! Dad's job is to dry me off and he took a big towel and got me pretty dry. Then, I took off running though the upstairs and downstairs and up and down and all around. I don't know why I did that but I always do after a bath. I might have scared Penny Cat by accident. Mom put my collar back on and let me out on the deck in the sunshine to dry off. She even brushed me real good and more fur came off. Hey! My feet are white and sparkly clean again! Well that's at least one good thing about the bath today!

Barks and Wags! FredDog

P.S. It's Penny Cat. FredDog is crazy and Mom is even crazier for giving him a bath. He ran everywhere and almost fell down the steps he was running so hard afterwards. What a wacko! At least he smells clean now. I ran and hid in my old towels just to be on the safe side. He sure was nuts! I've been sleeping at the top of the steps at night and trying to get up the nerve to cuddle in with Dad when he watches TV. But then I hear Fred jingle and I get worried and hide. He sure can bark at night at things and that still scares me. I still think we might be able to be friends one day!
