Dear Terry, Yesterday was Halloween!!!! Yay me!! Mom and me celebrated by eating some candy corn. Today we are going to take a Halloween walk in the woods. Mom puts on her Halloween shirt and Dad usually comes with us and he puts his Halloween shirt on too and we go walking in the woods! That's what we do! Mom gave me another piece of candy corn this morning. They must be pretty valuable because she only ever gives me one. I make sure to enjoy every bit of flavor. Oh and Mom and Dad and me were just out on the deck and they had the ladder out!! That means Mom is going up on the roof! I don't like her up there so I get a good spot where I can watch her every move up there. Up, Up she went and pretty soon leaves were flying out of the gutters everywhere! She works slow up there. Dad says that's so she doesn't get hurt or fall. I can't stand it. She was out of sight for a little but I could still hear her. I woofed real soft. Mom heard me though and she said, Don't worry Fred! I'm almost done! And sure enough she came back down the ladder. Dad's job is to hold the ladder. He doesn't like going up on things and he can never fall again. We make sure he stays on the ground. I'm not allowed on the ladder either. My job is to sit and watch and listen for Mom. I did a really good job and Mom said I could have a second piece of candy corn!! OH MY GOSH!!! I didn't share at all with Petey. Me, Petey and Penny are working hard to be friends. Petey and me sleep next to each other every single night and he keeps my nose warm with his tail. Last night he was laying curled up on my back and he started mushing and mushing and I didn't know what to do! Mom says that means he is really happy to have me as a friend. Dogs don't do that. Mom said it is another one of his special powers.

Hope you had a great Halloween!
