Dear Terry, Lots going on here! Mom thinks you might be down in the dumps but I bet you laugh at all the things I have to tell you! First, the root cellar ceiling caved in one night. It's kindof outside but has a secret door in the basement. Then another part of it caved in and it broke the door down. Only Mom didn't know until Petey jumped in her lap late one night soaking wet. Mom investigated and Petey ran right outside in the pouring rain into the root cellar! He came right back though when Mom called him. And Mom made it safe so he couldn't do that again. Penny Cat was beside herself meowing and meowing all worried. Dad said the Fix It Man should be coming soon. THEN, Dad had his toe operated on because I couldn't fix one of his boo-boos.  He was back the same day but he was all mixed up and he smelled like Hospital. He was still so mixed up the next day that Mom took him to Pap's house while she went to work. Grammy fed him good food and he slept. I wasn't allowed to go. But tomorrow I get to go!! Tomorrow is Ham Day. Mom says it is called Easter but I don't know why. Should be called Ham Day. Everyone will be there and everyone will give me HAM!! I like Ham. Oh! And earlier this week, Petey was helping Mom at the kitchen sink and he was looking out the window and WHIRRRRRRR. His tail made the soap dispenser go and he got soap all over his tail! Then he stuck his head under it to see what happened and he got soap on his head!! Mom said he smelled cranberry good after she got it all washed out! He sure was sudsy! I can't seem to stop chasing him. I try real hard to be like Newton but I really just can't help it!! Mom separates us a lot so that Dad can get sleep when he isn't feeling so good. Petey sleeps against the door and I sleep right on the other side so we know where the other one is. Unless Dad needs me then I sleep next to him. And Baseball is on TV! Me and Dad fall asleep a lot when the games come on. I like to listen to games. Sometimes I go over to the screen and watch close up!

If you are down in the dumps, I recommend Ham for both you and Newton! Yummy!

Love, FredDog
