Dear Terry, Me and Mom had quite the adventure today! It all started with Dad leaving. He took his cane and walked down the driveway and then up the road. It was very distressing to me. Mom said Don't worry Fred, He is going to take a ride on the bus! A bus?? I bark at those. Mom said, No, not a school bus. A big bus. HMMPH. All I know is that Mom let Dad go out of our sight. I sat in the window and whined and whined. How could Mom let him disappear over the hill?? I barked at Mom. I didn't understand. Mom wasn't upset so I thought maybe Dad is OK even though I can't see or hear him. I barked some more because I didn't know what to do. Then awhile later, Dad called. And Mom got her keys. Dad missed the bus. I barked at Mom. See what happens when we let Dad out of our sight?? He missed the bus! Mom still wasn't upset though. I didn't understand. I ran to the door, I was GOING with Mom no matter what. And she said Let's Go Fred and I ran to the car. No time to waste! Then we drove to a new place to me. Mom called it a Walmart. It must be where the bus goes because there was Dad!!! It was very exciting! He had all kinds of stuff in bags. Dad was so happy about his trip on his own that we went to the Burger Palace to celebrate. You can't imagine how good it was to see Dad so happy. I'm still not so sure about Dad going on his own to the Bus Palace though. I can't keep an eye on him there. But he was happy and we took a nap together when we got home so everything is OK now!
