Dear Terry, It's me again. Fred. What an exciting time at the park today! The little cottage was open and my pal Pam was inside. She takes care of the park. She showed us the new butterfly display. Pam told Mom that most of the Monarch Butterflies had died all across the country and the park was working with other parks to save them so they can flutter around like before. The butterflies were very fluttery. There were some that hadn't come out yet and a big one flying all around in the special tent. I was allowed to look but I had to be extra special careful and I was. They fly around like magic! I tried to take a pine cone from another display but Mom made me put it back. Then we went hiking up the big hill and all around. Boy was I tired when we got back to the car. Mom gave me a big drink of water. I drank so much there was hardly any left for Mom! When I got home I laid down right in front of the vent for all the cold air. After I cooled off, I ran to find Penny Cat to tell her all about the walk. But I was careful to not get to close to her. We are going to watch some baseball tonight. I bet Mom makes us some good snacks! I hope Penny Cat joins us. I know she would like snacks too!

Barks and Wags, FredDog
