Dear Terry, What a SCARY night! There was a big storm. But Mom was ready! She knew I was going to be scared. First we peed and pooped outside. I did, Mom didn't. I could smell the rain coming. We hurried back inside. Then Mom said, Fred! Let's camp out in the bedroom on the bed! What? How can we camp out in the bedroom?? That's not outside! Me and Petey were confused. Mom gathered up snacks and got the covers just right and turned out the lights and we watched TV eating snacks and when things got scary we got under the covers and snuggled in together. At first, Petey didn't snuggle in because he was at the window watching the lightening out the window. I wasn't going to do that. But then the thunder got so loud and sharp he jumped right in bed with us and he put his tail over my eyes. He was squished in tight against me. Pretty soon we heard Penny Cat above all the noise of the storm. She was meowing at Dad. Dad was in the living room waiting for her and she laid right down at his feet on the blanket. Every so often she said MEOW MEOW and Dad would make sure she was OK. Mom got the snakcs out for me and Petey. After a long time the storm was over and we were stuffed! Mom sure did stay awake a long time. Almost all night. I was glad she did though because I was pretty scared. I love Mom!

Barks and Wags, FredDog!
