Me! FredDog
February 28, 2015

Dear Terry, I'm in the Big Dog House today. It's awful. I'm in so much trouble and Mom isn't even talking to me and Dad yelled at me. I knocked Petey down and kindof hurt him because I nipped him. Everything had been going good, Petey had come over to give me a kiss on the nose, then he took off running and I didn't think. I'm supposed to think but I didn't. And I ran after him and pinned him down and he scratched me with all his might on the face and I nipped him. Mom yelled, Dad yelled and Petey hissed like a wild cat. I've never been in so much trouble before. When Mom yelled at me to sit, I knew I was in big trouble. That's what I have to do when I'm in trouble , SIT. Mom says it puts the brakes on my mind and I stop and think instead of being crazy. Mom didn't separate us though. Mom took me slowly into the kitchen where Petey was and he came back out to see me. I didn't think he would, but he did! He was on the chair so I went over to smell him and he kissed me on the nose and then smacked me on the nose and I sat there and didn't do anything back. I don't like it when I'm in trouble.

Trying to be a Good Dog, FredDog

P.S. Petey here! I showed that FredDog what I am made of today!! Hisses and Scratches that's what!! Take that DOGGY! I might only be five pounds but I sure gave him something to think about! Don't MESS WITH ME !  I'm only going to get bigger, stronger and faster, he better WATCH OUT. ROAARRRR! Petey.

Dear Terry, Tonight we are having Tater Tots! You should smell them cooking! I looked in the Big Food Machine window to look at them. They smell done but Dad said noooo we have to wait a few more minutes. I don't know if I can stand it!! How long do we have to wait????I can't tell time but it already seems like a long time waiting for them to be done! I don't share my Tater Tots. Well, Mom had to separate all of last night again. I blame Petey. Things got a little out of hand and Mom banished all of us to our rooms. He's a stinker. He gets to run really fast but I can't chase him. He plopped himself RIGHT IN MY BED. MY BED. Humphhhh. Tater Tots are done!!! yaya!!! If you are down in the dumps eat some Taters. Taters are fun food and you can't help but smile when you eat them!

Love and Woofs, FredDog

Dear Terry, The house is really quiet. Petey was really bad last night and Mom didn't know it until she woke up. Petey ripped down an whole section of drapes last night. At first Petey ran right up to Mom to greet her. I tried to tell him NOOOOOOO Mom has a thing about her drapes. But when Mom didn't even pet him I think he got the idea. Dad quietly helped Mom put the drapes back up. We all know in this house DON'T MESS WITH MOM'S DRAPES. Mom is pretty forgiving about all the other mistakes we make but not the Drapes. I bet Mom will forgive Petey before she leaves for work. Mom forgave me once or twice, or maybe more about the drapes.....

Now I look like the good one though!! WOOF!

Dear Terry, Things have been strange here. Petey gets a lot of attention and sometimes I don't. Dad said he knew what would fix that today. I said What Dad WHAT!??? And he said Pizza Party! A Pizza Party!! I greeted Pizza Man with my most friendliest bark. I like Pizza. A LOT. Me and Dad had the best time ever. I get the crusts with little bits of sauce and cheese. I even got a few piecves of PEPPERONI! Another Favorite! and Guess what?? Petey got NONE. Just me and Dad at the Pizza Party. That's how it is. Me and Dad do the Pizza Parties. What a good time we had. Then Mom got home and Petey was let loose and he ran all around and then went to eat his food. I'm not allowed to eat his food. Mom had him in the bedroom today because the electrician might be stopping by today or tomorrow to fix some of the lights. And we don't want Petey getting loose outside. He's too small to be out in the cold.Mom said me and her were going to have Snacks tonight too. I like Snacks. I wonder what Mom will have for me!?

trying to be nice to Petey,

Love FredDog

Dear Terry, Guess what??? Petey fell in the toilet last night as Mom was flushing it. He got all wet! Mom had to wash him off.  Mom says I'm supposed to always protect Squeaky Pete but how can I do that if Mom is accidentally flushing him in the toilet!? Mom told Petey he has to look first before he jumps otherwise he might end up in the drink again. Penny Cat took one look at Petey and said MEOW MEOW. I still can't believe he fell in!

Watch out for Toilets!

P.S. I'm Petey. Who knew you could fall in a toilet??? ROARRRRRRR!

Dear Terry, Guess what?? Mom was off yesterday, so she got to stay home with all of us! How great was that?? I was really good and didn't chase Petey or make Penny Cat fluffy. And guess what?? Petey came over to me several times and gave me kisses on my head! I sat so still I was shaking. And I accidentally bonked him in the head w my wagging tail. He didn't seem to mind though and climbed right up the drapes. That sure does make Mom mad! No Drape Climbing! Petey doesn't listen so good yet and Mom has to turn away because she starts laughing at whatever he is doing.  Hope you have a good day!

Love and Woofs, FredDog!

Dear Terry, Petey is taking over everything. I'm worried. Do you know he can even run up drapes?? What's next??? my bed??? my toys??? Penny Cat feels the same way. I know because she told me. Meow Meow is what she said. I said, I KNOW Penny Cat! Squeaky Petey is too much! Mom said the craziness will end someday. She hopes.  Today, I started out the day by pretending Petey doesn't exist. I'm not looking at him or nothing. Mom said, I'm not sure that is going to work Freddie. Better than getting in trouble because I chased him right? Me and Mom have to go outside for our walk. We won't walk far because my feet will freeze up. I wish Spring was here so that me and Mom can go on walks in the woods and we can do all kinds of fun things again. Without the Cat. Yeah. Just me and Mom. Woof. Mom pointed out that Petey can be good company for me sometimes. Mom might be right.

P.S. ROAAARRRRRRRR! Petey!

Dear Terry, Guess what Mom made for Petey! A bed of his own! Guess what she used to make it??? A box! And she put his favorite pillow case in the box and his favorite toy. And he slept in it! Right by the heat vent like he likes! Mom says no need to buy a big fancy bed for a cat. Cats love boxes. I had my doubts, but it seemed like a good box. I know because I stuck my head in it and smelled it. Good box smells.  Mom says I'm not allowed to chew it or eat it. I might have tried the corner a little bit....

Dear Terry, Squeaky Pete, that's what I call him now, got in trouble! And I DIDN'T. In fact, he got in trouble twice! He knocked a lamp over in the bedroom and he made Penny Cat all fluffy. No one is allowed to make Penny Cat fluffy. Squeaky Pete got right in her face and she thumped his head a good one and fluffed up. Mom let her too. The rule is NO FLUFFY PENNY. He didn't get in as much trouble for the lamp because that was an accident. And as far as I know, Mom doesn't have any Lamp Rules.  Oh I did get in some trouble the other night and even Dad yelled at me. I chased Petey. I'm not allowed to chase Petey and no making Penny Cat Fluffy. I told Mom these are really hard rules to live by. Me and Mom keep working at it though. Mom says I will get it. And I haven't got in a lot of trouble so far this week. Mom says that the best way to learn is to make a mistake so I learn how to do it right. Like I already know not to put my eyes near Squeaky Pete's feet or I get scratched.

Hope you made it through the day unscratched!

P.S. Penny Cat here. That Petey is going to give me a nervous breakdown. He's always running. Including running right into me. I don't think he had even seen me. I showed him. I know what the rules are and NO ONE is to scare me. I'm 12 and no scaring me.  And I let him know that in no uncertain terms, follow The Rule. Meow meow, the Queen has Spoken!

Dear Terry, Kitten Petey is disrupting everything! I'm always in trouble it seems. Mom keeps letting Petey out more and more so I can get used to him without getting into so much trouble. Only it's hard. You know what he did today while Mom watched her game shows??? He drank my water! Right out of my bowl. Then he tried my food! And I had to sit there and be good. Mom said that is payback for eating all of Penny Cat's food. Humphh. You know what else he does?? He meows and chatters all the time. I'm not allowed to bark all the time. Mom picks him up and pets him too. I'm the one that is supposed to get the pets not Kitten Petey. He's the new kid and has to earn his pets. Well, that's what I think. At least I haven't gotten scratched on the nose again. But you know what was great about today?? Pap came in the house! I was so excited I peed on the couch. Dad didn't yell at me though and I helped to clean it up. Mom cleaned it up too when she got home. I haven't seen my Pap in FOREVER! It was really good to see him. Mom said I did so well tonight with being good around Kitten Petey that I get a peanut butter biscuit! Yay!

Trying to figure out how to be good....

P.S. Mom says that I will get the hang of it and that new things are always hard to learn. Mom's always right. Right???
