Dear Terry,

What a great day yesterday. Well almost a super great day. Mom was at work and me and Dad were watching some baseball on TV . And you know what? Petey came up to see us! I stayed really quiet and I remembered Newton's advice, no chasing Petey or he will try and put my eye out. In fact, We spent hours and hours looking for Mr. Mouse. He was under the sink in the kitchen. I can hear better than Petey and I heard him, then Petey heard him. And we waited. I can be real patient when I want to be. We waited and waited. We could hear him under there. Mom doesn't allow me to open cabinets so I couldn't open it. Petey kept saying just open the door Freddie! But I didn't listen to him. And before you know it, Mom was home! Oh boy the excitement! I ran right away to the door barking so she would know I was there waiting for her. Mom came in and was so happy to hear that me and Petey were getting along. And she told me how great I was and how great I was behaving. Then it happened. Mom turned her back to me to pet Petey! I forgot Newton's advice. How could My Mom do that??? I was right there in front of her and she turned her back! I charged right at Petey and cornered him and I got yelled at and sat down. Mom KNOWS when she gets home I get all the attention. Mom tried again to pet Petey and I got in trouble again. Stupid Petey. I come first. And Second and Third for that matter. Mom said she has to go back to the drawing board. I can't draw yet but I'm sure Mom will come up with something good.

Trying to be Mom's Favorite again.
