Dear Terry! Mom says your boss is letting you come to the Ocean with me and Mom and Dad!! I can't Wait!! Mom said you will hold a seashell up to my ear so I will get used to the sound of the ocean. WHOOOSSSHHH WHOOOSSSHHH. That's how she says it sounds. And Mom says we can go play in the sand and everything! We can even dig holes together if you want! Oh and we had a good Ham Day. Mom calls that Easter. Ham day was great! I got a whole piece of the butcher bacon for myself! Petey got a little bit of egg. He likes eggs. Penny got her smooshie food and we were all happy! And later on me and Mom went for a walk in the park. We went all the way to the top and back down again. It was hot! I had to get a drink.

Better go, Mom is getting ready for work. I have to help Dad pack her lunch!

Dear Terry, Today is Mom's Birthday! As soon as she woke up, I ran and got Dad and we sang her Happy Birthday! Even Petey helped with that! Mom went to work though and we were all sad. Then Pappy came over and helped Dad out and then they went away to do something together. Dad bought Mom a gift. Her favorite Easter Egg from the Candy Store! Then Mom surprised all of us and she came home early!!! OHHHH it was big excitement. I was barking, Penny ran, Petey came running to see if I was right about Mom being home. And I was! Mom came home early! I was so excited! Dad was excited too! Mom hardly ever comes home early! I told Mom let's go for a birthday walk! At first she didn't understand so I kept barking and then I kept going over to my leash. And then we went for a walk in the park!! We had lots of fun. Mom let me pick the trail to go on and we went into the woods to smell smells and watch squirrels. I started to get tired so I took Mom back to the car. I can't always walk as far as I used to because I get tired. Mom says that doesn't matter. We have fun no matter what. Mom says I feel my age some days. My birthday is coming up. Mom says so. I'm going to be 9 or 10.  Mom says I get a birthday surprise on my birthday. I hope it's a biscuit with sprinkles on top and frosting.

Hope you had a good spring day!

Dear Terry, Happy St. Patrick's Day! Mom says everyone, even dogs, are Irish today. I don't know what Irish is but it sounds like fun to me! And Guess What!? Grammy came to visit! Petey got to meet her and everything. At first he didn't want to come over. Petey always thinks about new things first. Then he went over and head butted Grammy! I think Grammy liked that. It was so good to see her again! I haven't seen her in awhile. Her and Dad went somewhere. And when Dad came home he had a fat lip! What did Grammy do to him??? Dad laughed and said Oh Fred! I was at the dentist and then I couldn't feel my lip and I accidentally bit my own lip! Ouch! I made sure he was OK. And Mom said she was in an accident on the way to work. She said no one was hurt but some guy hit her from behind at a stop sign. She said it wasn't a good way to start the day. Then she did a big SIGH and patted me on the head and said Don't Worry Puppy life goes on! and I rolled over for tummy rubs!

Hope you had a good day!

Dear Terry, This is PETEY. You know what that crazy Fred Dog did? He threw up all over the place right in front of me this morning. He ate his food and then we started running around the house. Like wild animals Mom says. No wonder he got sick! He usually eats after Mom leaves not before. And we always run around first because it's morning. Sometimes we run around because it's fun and sometimes for no reason. BLEH right in front of me. YUCK. Dad said EWWWWW. Mom said, it's ok Freddie, I'll clean it up. Only it wasn't OK, he nearly threw up on ME. Mom didn 't say, OH PETEY it's ok, let me pet you on the head like a good cat. NOOOOO it was all about The Dog. I did feel bad for him because he went and laid down in his bed. I brought him a piece of my food, but he didn't want to eat it. He always eats my food! That's how I knew he wasn't feeling so good. When Mom came home she brought him a can of chicken and rice. She only gave him a little bit but he ate it. Dad had tried to get him to eat earlier but no luck. Good thing too because Dad isn't so good at clean up. Mom says no eating until you have run around FredDog! He went and sat down on the floor. I poked him in the head. Seems OK now to me. Whew!

ROARRRRRRRR, PETEY CAT

Dear Terry, Boy did I have fun yesterday! Mom was working down in the yard and I got to watch from the deck. It was all nice and warm outside. She cleaned out the creek and she had big boots on to go in the water. She cut down branches and sticker bushes. I don't like sticker bushes. They hurt. I went inside for a nap. When Mom came in she was all muddy and dirty. She had to leave her boots outside because they were so dirty. Then we went for a walk! We walked all along the ponds in the park. And when we came to the second pond, I stopped and I pointed and held real still. At first Mom didn't see what I was pointing at. Then she saw the Mallards! They swooshed into the water right in front of us. Mom patted me on the head for being such a good pointer! We were both pooped out last night! But Mom had one more surprise for me and Dad. She had left us and when she came back to the house she had ICE CREAM!! Oh my gosh! Dad got his special ice cream and I got my special ice cream. My ice cream is made for dogs and it tastes like frozen peanut butter! Dad said, Where is yours? And Mom said, I ate mine already!! What a good way to end the day!

Hope you had some ice cream!

Love and Woofs, FredDog

Dear Terry, Sorry I haven't written. Mom has been sick and she's been working too much. She doesn't get home until late. I don't like that. We have a routine! Mom says she's going to slow down. Dad told her too. Let me tell you what happened today! Lots of NOISE. Oh my gosh. I didn't know where to go to make it all go away. Petey was hiding, Penny Cat was hiding. It was aweful. Dad tried to tell me it was OK but the noise wouldn't stop. BUZZZZZ BUZZZZZ BUZZZZ. Strange men outside in the back. I tried to look outside and I saw they were cutting the big Tree down! Dad told me that the Tree was rotting and it had to be cut down so it wouldn't smoosh the house. I was scared. And when the strange men started cutting it down, this GIANT racoon ran out from inside the Tree!! I knew he was in there. Mom and Dad and the Men didn't know it and they were all super surprised. The racoon ran away to be safe and find a new home. Every morning when me and Mom walk around the yard, I stopped at the Tree and I would stand up and try and see Mr. Racoon. I could always smell him but never see him. I never thought he was INSIDE the tree!! Now I know! I told Mom all about it when she finally came home tonight. And I told her she better get home sooner. I don't like this working late business. I think Mon understood. She told me we were going to have some birthday fun on Friday. It's Dad's birthday and Mom has a Surprise for him. I don't know when Friday is but Mom said it's soon! I hope there is Cake. I like Cake. Petey likes the frosting. Penny doesn't eat cake though. I've been trying real hard to be Penny Cat's better friend. She gets so upset when I interrupt her eating smooshie food. So now I sit real quiet each morning and watch her eat. She's been hanging around more and more. I like that.
