Dear Terry, Today was my first day on the job as Chicken Checker! Mom brought them home a little bit ago and she got them in their little house and gave them good food and water. I could hear them but I couldn't see them. Then, FINALLY, Mom came and took me outside to meet them. Dad was outside already watching them. I smelled them and then went around the corner and saw them! My gosh they were big birds. I thought they would be little ones like at the store. They cluck cluck real soft. There's a big one and a medium one and a smaller one. They're red. I wasn't sure what to do, so I barked. Mom and Dad both said FRED. And I sat down. Then I accidentally barked some more. It was all too exciting! The chickens stood up real tall and cluck clucked at me. And I listened to them for a few minutes. Then I barked again. and Dad laid down the law. FREDDOG. Oh oops I barked. Then me and Mom took a little walk away and came back again and this time I got it all right! I smelled them, looked in the house to make sure they were OK and then sat down and watched them. They watched me. I bet they would put my eye out. But then we all relaxed and I pooped and they started eating again. They were busy picking bugs out of the ground and food out of the dish. I went in the house and Mom gave me a special Chicken Checker Treat!! Mom says they are called Marge, Lisa and Maggie.
the best Chicken Checker ever!
Love and Woofs,
FredDog

Dear Terry, Guess what!? I get a new job tomorrow! Mom said I am going to be the Official Family Chicken Checker! That's right Chicken Checker! They arrive tomorrow. I'm not sure what chickens are but Mom said I am going to be checking on them every morning and night. A Chicken Checker!! That's Me!!! I'm going to be the best one around I know it! I can't wait to meet them. Mom said they will live outside and she showed me their special house and everything. Mom built the house for them. It came in a big box and she built it all by herself. Me and Dad kind of slept through that. I'm going to be The Chicken Checker!!
Love and Woofs, FredDog.

Dear Terry, I'm not feeling too good. My back hurts. Sometimes I over do it and then I don't feel good. Mom knew just what to do though! She gave me a special cheese ball and pretty soon I was feeling better. Yesterday, me and Mom went for a walk in the woods and she decided we should walk in tandem. I didn't know what that was. She clipped my leash to her waist and wasn't holding it in her hand at all! I didn't know what to do. I stood there looking at her. She said, Come on Fred! Let's Go! Only I didn't know where to go! She went one way and I went the other way and we both had to stop. This was very confusing. She usually guides me with the leash on what direction to go. Then I thought she meant RUN! So I took off and she ran after me because we were connected. We had to stop. Then I got mixed up and tangled in a picker bush. And we had to stop again. We did get the hang of this in tandem thing though. Once we both went in the same direction things were MUCH easier! We decided that maybe we won't do that too often. Stick to what we know!

Dear Terry, Boy I have been so tired!! Sunday me and Mom went running at the Running Park. She said I needed a good run because I was being ornery. I don't know what that is but I am going to try and be like that all the time so we can go running! Guess what we saw there??? The biggest dog I have ever seen in my LIFE. She was gigantic! Bigger than Big! Mom said she was a Newfoundland. A really big one, Mom said. I decided that I wanted to walk the other way. I wasn't so sure she was friendly. So then we started running. And more running! But what was that sound???? BZZZZZZZZZZ, BZZZZZZZZ! It was so loud! Where was it?? Oh my gosh it was in the SKY! I stopped and watched it. I tilted my head so I could hear it better. Mom knelt down next to me and said Don't Worry Freddie, it's an airplane! She gave me a big pat on the head. An airplane??? It swopped around like a birdie but it was loud and noisy. Even noisier than the Ravens. I watched and watched and it would always return to the men standing in the grass then it would take off again! It was pretty neat! The men waved to us and I barked back! Then we took off running again! I love to run. Mom doesn't. She does it because I like to run. I know it hurts her knee so I don't run full tilt anymore. I run as fast as she does. Which sometimes really isnt so fast. I like to go fast! I was so tired after all that excitement and running that I think I slept for 3 days! Mom said it was only for 3 hours. It was a long time. Dad tucked me into all the blankets and Petey snuggled in next to me. How great is that! Oh and I think PennyCat likes me again! For awhile she wouldn't come near me. Dad said it was because I started barking too loud when I would see her. But she's been coming into the kitchen and I walk up to her and she greets me like she used to! She MEOWSHISSS and slaps me on the nose! It's like old times!! I love PennyCat. She was my first friend here.
Hope you get lots of MEOWSHISSSS in your day!! OXO FredDog!

Dear Terry, Mom said she talked to you today! You told her all about the New Dog, Gilgamesh. Mom says he is bigger than a bread box and she showed me the bread box on the counter. She said in fact, he's bigger than 5 of me!! I can't count but Mom said that's really big. I can't wait until you come out and we can see each other again! Mom said you were going to go to a Fiesta. That's a party! Mom said she told you about how I grumbled at my Grammy. In my defense, I have to make sure everyone that walks in the house is A-OK and won't hurt Dad. Mom says she is 75 years old and his MOM and you never grumble at Grammy. I have to relearn what to do when someone is helping Dad. She said I can't help Dad with everything but I can! Well ok, not the socks. I don't have thumbs. Mom is always right. WOOF. I kind of pushed Grammy out of the way too. No Pushing Grammy! It's like the other rule, No Making PennyCat Fluffy. Mom said she is going to walk me through being good with Grammy again. Maybe Grammy could give me some Cherrios. I like those! Mom's been saying a lot of stuff this week. Mostly rules. But she said we are going to have some FUN tonight so I can relax! I bet she gets out my food toy. Me and Petey both like that! We both try and get the food out of the puzzle. Sometimes it's harder to get the pieces out because Dad will put peanut butter over everything and all the snacks stick! OH and guess what I ate!? A pink bunny marshmellow ! I never had marshmellow before and Mom gave me the ears of the bunny. At first I thought WHAT is this??? It was all grainy but not really crunchy. Then it stuck to my teeth. Then it melted and turned my mouth PINK! WOOF!!! It was yummy!!

Dear Terry, I hope Gilhamesh is having lots of fun! Mom said he's as big as a house! Mom and Petey had a big adventure yesterday. She put Petey in The Crate. Petey didn't like that at all. He started meowing really loud and shaking the cage. Mom has to tie it shut so he doesn't bust free. He can get that front open when he wants to. I told Petey to pipe down! You want to save that for when you get to the vet. Start acting like a complete loon and making lots and lots of noise so they stop doing stuff to you, like looking in your ears and eyes. Dad got Petey to quiet down though. I sat and listened to Dad too. Then Mom took Petey away. Mom said it was only a check up to make sure he's a-ok. I told Petey that's what she always says and not to believe it, it's a trick!! Dad said, FRED! Stop that! Petey's going to tell you what happened next!
Hi Terry, It's Petey. Mom PUT ME IN THE CRATE. Then we went for a car ride. I don't like car rides. The only good car ride was when Mom picked me up from the shelter and gave me a home. We didn't go the the Vet right away. First we went to the Library. Don't know what that is and dont care. Mom got OUT OF THE CAR WITHOUT ME. But she was back in a few seconds. I couldn't even try and bust free that's how quick she was. Then we went to the Bank. It has things that made lots of noise. WHOOOOOSSSSSHHHHHHH. I laid my ears back but then I wanted to see. But I couldn't because of the crate!!! Mom lifted the crate up so I could see what was going on there at the bank. Hmmm this was kind of interesting. Fred made it sound like I was gonna DIE. Then just when I thought this might be a fun trip we ended up at the VET. MOMMMMM!!!!! Boy was I mad. I turned around in the crate and wouldn't even look at Mom. Mom told me to be to BE GOOD. I guess I was because we were outta there real quick too. The doctor looked in my eyes and I looked in her eyes. She looked in my ears so I looked up her nose real good, she looked at my teeth and I tried to look at her teeth. Oh and then we went for another ride in the car only this time I could tell we were going home so I settled in on my blanket in the crate and fell asleep. What a Day!! Maybe Mom could take me for another ride one day only without the Crate.

Dear Terry, Me and Mom had an exciting walk today! We didn't walk! We ran! We've been going to the sports place and there is a big walking loop all around it and through all the special fields that I'm not supposed to walk on. I like it there. The wind is always blowing and it's wide open and I can GO GO GO GO. I GO so fast sometimes that Mom has to hurry to keep up with me. Today though we RAN! First we had to look around to see if anybody was watching. Mom's funny like that. Mom said let's GO! Then we RAN. All the way along the straight section and around part of a bend. Then we had to slow down to a jog. Then we RAN again! I like running so much more than just walking! I'm a good runner. I keep pace with Mom and she runs pretty good too. But we can't run the whole time yet. Mom's knee sometimes hurts when we run too much. She laughs every time when we get back to the car because we are both breathing hard and she can tell how happy I am. Mom says we ran off and on for over a mile. I don't know how far that is but we are both tired afterwards so it must be really far. I hope we keep going there. Running is fun!!
Hope you had a good day! If you didn't maybe you could go running too! Mom said she's pretty sure that might not be a safe thing for you to do though....Woof!

Dear Terry, Me and Mom were up listening to the storms. I had my special shirt on and Dad laid down next to me and it didn't seem as bad as other times. Mom talked to me the whole time and she told me that you were getting a new PUPPY!! Mom says he is probably bigger than me already. I hope he has a good bark! A good bark is a good dog! That's what I think. Mom always says PIPE DOWN FRED! And then I bark some more just because! Me and Petey are goingto help Dad clean. First we run around like maniacs in front of the vacuum cleaner. Then we will walk all over the mopped floor and leave our foot prints so Mom can see we were helping. Oh and me and Mom have been walking a lot. Mom calls it jogging. We can jog a WHOLE MILE at the new place. I want to flat out run but Mom says be happy she is jogging! WOOF! Th e first time we did it, we both were kind of sorry we did it, but then it got easier and easier. Mom might disagree but we jog together and have fun!

Dear Terry, What an exciting walk we had yesterday! We went to the Nature Park and there was a ton of people there and no room to park the car! The park manager showed us a spot that we could have. She's always so nice to me! The police were there too. I thought maybe there was a picnic going on with them because they were right in the middle of things. But soon I heard sirens getting closer to us and sure enough! an ambulance came in and then more sirens! and a special rescue truck came in! The men had special ropes and a special board to strap a human to. Mom said Oh boy Fred, We better not go in that direction. I was being real good too, I didn't bark or act up or anything. I could tell I had to listen to Mom. We went up the trails where things were quieter. I could still hear the men. Mom said she thinks someone fell off on of the steep trails. Mom fell once on the trails but she didn't have to have people come rescue her. She just rolled down the hill. We walked almost to the top of the big hill but had to turn around because of the big mud pit. When we got back to the car, we could see the person had been rescued and was being put in the ambulance. I bet they were scared. Oh and the other thing I did yesterday was sit in the sunshine. Mom let me have the whole deck to myself and I sat in the sun watching the birds and the yard and smelling smells! When I want in all I have to do is do a soft woof at the door and Mom let's me back in! But I stayed outside a long time. Me and Mom are going to do some more walking today!
Have a recue free day!

Dear Terry, I got in some trouble a few days ago and have been working really hard to be a good dog again. Mom and Petey were watching TV in bed and I jumped up to take my spot back from Petey and I kind of landed on everyone and Petey squeaked and ran and he scratched Mom's arm really bad. Super Bad. She was bleeding! And it was all my fault because I scared Petey so bad! Mom's arm got infected and she had to see a Doctor and get medicine and everything. She's OK but I don't want Mom hurt again so now I only chase and scare Petey when Mom isn't around. She can't get hurt then. I'm not supposed to make Petey squeak or Penny fluffy. And no one should every lose fur or an eye. Those are the rules. Dad was pretty mad at me. Dad never gets mad at me and it was almost more than I could bear. He wouldn't even talk to me. But then he forgave me and let me sit next to him on the sofa!

Dear Terry, The most exciting thing happened! Jimmy, the dog from across the creek, came to the front door today! I was so excited I flipped off the couch! I was barking, he barked back! He trotted to the side yard and down by the garage and back again. But Mom wouldn't let me outside. Jummy is a "bad influence" because he runs away from home a lot. Well, it's not really running away. He likes to chase stuff. Cats, Birds, Dogs, Squirrels. He chases anything! I like to chase stuff too. That's why Mom says NOOOOO you can't go running around with Jimmy! Jimmy went down to the creek and SPLASH! he was playing in the water then he took off for home. Dad was even watching Jimmy in my yard. I can't wait to go outside and investigate where he was!

Dear Terry, PennyCat is so upset! Or she was. Mom didn't buy her smooshie food when it ran out and Penny had nothing to eat this morning!!She let Mom have it too! MEOW MEOW! Oh she was MAD. Her little ears were all backwards and everything. She kept making her plate bang on the counter. Mom said PENNY, Keep your tail on! Petey joined in too! I barked at both of them! Pipe down all of you! Mom said she was going to make Penny something new! She made Penny milk and cookies! Petey too! First Mom put some good cheesy tuna crunchy treats on the plate, then she poured the cat sippy milk over top!! Penny was skeptical. But then she tried it and she gobbled everything down and pretty soon her tail was waving in the air and she was happy again. Petey ate all his too!! Milk and Cookies a hit! Mom even let me try some of the sippy milk. I like cereal milk better but it was pretty good if you ask me. Mom promised to buy the smooshie food today and she put out their regular crunchy food for them. Up on the counter like always. That's because I can't help myself and I eat all their food if I can reach it!

Dear Terry, Mom's been working too much again. Dad told her to take a day off and she did! Today! Good thing too because Petey and Penny had a fight and they knocked the coffee pot and cutting board off the counter and water went everywhere!! Petey got in big trouble. Penny doesn't get in trouble because she's old and we aren't supposed to upset her let alone get her so upset she knocks the coffee pot over!! Petey's been trying to be real nice to her. He's going to lose an eye. Oh and guess what me and Mom did a few days ago! We went to the park and she let me go wherever I wanted so we walked along the trail where I found the dead fish and rolled in it. But no dead fish this time. The trail goes right along the pond's edge so you have to be careful. There was a big tree branch across the trail and I wanted to go under it and Mom wanted to go over it and we got all tangled up! I barked, she laughed and we got untangled! Maybe since it's warm today we can go to the park again. Not if it's raining. I don't like to get wet. Unless it's snow. Snow is fun!

Dear Terry, Me and Mom took a big trip together! We went to see the Nephews and Mom's family. We drove through FOG. I fell asleep it was so boring. Not boring when we got there! Guess what?? They gave me a homemade peanut butter biscuit shaped like a bone. I carried it everywhere. I put it in a lot of different places but I couldn't find the RIGHT place. Mom let me have it in the backseat of the car on the way home. I showed it right away to Dad. I finally ate it tonight. YUMMY! Oh and I saw Aunt Linda too. She's in a wheelchair now and she doen't always hear too good or move too good. Or think too good. But when I sat next to her up on the sofa, she perked up and said Hi Freddie!! She knew me! She didn't forget me!! I wagged my tail real good and nudged her hand and Mom helped her to pet me on the head. She smiled. She's been having a tough time, I hope I helped. Oh and I rode the elevator too at the new place for her and Uncle Tom. rode it UP and didn't want to ride it DOWN. Aunt Laura said I didnt have to ride it back down because there were steps. Mom said Fred, Give it a try. No. Fred give it a try. NO. Come on I am right here with you, everything will be OK. NO you said that at the Ocean. Then Mom held her hand out to me and I tried and I rode the elevator back down! It WAS OK!
Hope you had a good day,
Love and Woofs, FredDog.

Dear Terry, Me and Dad had some fun this week! We had a Pizza Party! With Pepperoni and everything! We both ate too much. Guess what Petey did?? He stole the hot pepper out of the box! Dad found it on the floor and took it away to somewhere safe. Sneaky Pete! I might have eaten too much pepperoni because I had an accident. Dad cleaned it up though. He wasn't mad either but he did tell Mom. And she told him stop stuffing Fred with Pepperoni! I told Dad it was completely worth it! Woof! Today it's all rainy outside. Me and Dad already decide we are going to watch TV and stay under the blanket. Petey can snuggle in too as long as he doesn't step on me. I wish Mom would stay home from work. She has to take dad somewhere this morning and then I won't see her again until night! Mom says she has to earn us X's and O's. That's what she calls our food. I better go help get Dad ready!

Dear Terry, you wont believe what happened this morning!! Me and Mom were taking our morning walk and I wanted to go to the bottom of the yard. Sometimes we can't go down there because it's too muddy or snowy. But today Mom said OK let's go! So we went! I smelled smells all over the yard. We walked along the creek making sure nothing was out of place. After a bit we decided to go back up to the front. That's when it happened. Mom slipped and fell right in the MUD!! I didn't know what to do - I was so surprised that she was laying on the ground! Then she tried to get up and no luck! It was too muddy and she slipped again!! I tried to tell her she needed 4 feet instead of 2 on the ground but she wasn't listening. She was laughing and saying OWWW OWW OWWWWW at the same time. You should see where she fell! It's a mess now. It looks like she made a snow angel only in the mud. We made it back to the big stone steps after she crawled out of the mud. She wasn't walking so good. And she was having trouble holding the leash. I took her inside and when we got in she told Dad that she fell only he wasn't really paying attention so she said it LOUDER. He came right over to us. We all went over to the window so Dad could see where she fell in the mud. Petey looked out too. Petey said FRED! How could you let this happen! Mom's hurt! I chased him because he needs to know you just can't tell when Mom is going to slip and fall in the mud! Mom said she was ok but she was moving slow. And when she came home from work, she was moving even slower. But her arms work and her legs still work so I think she will make it.
Hope you had an unmuddy day!

Dear Terry, I've been down in the dumps. We haven't been able to go on a lot of walks lately. Sometimes it's too cold. Sometimes it's raining. Sometimes Petey won't play with me. Sometimes Dad sleeps a lot and won't play tug tug with me. BUT! things are looking up! Yesterday me and Mom went to the Park and had a great walk! It was all muddy and the ponds looked like they could overflow at any second. There were even ducks on the pond! And this morning! WHAT a morning! Mom got up early and made me and Dad PANCAKES AND BACON! You can't imagine the excitement we had here! Mom even got out the syrup that me and her got at the big park last year. They get it right from the trees there in the park. We had lots of bacon and lots of pancakes. Mom made them from scratch no boxes! Dad said YUMMY! I said YUMMY! Then Petey jumped on the table and his tail went through the syrup. What a mess that was!! Don't worry, No pancakes or bacon was lost!! WHEW! Mom said we might do another walk today but in a different park. I like the regular park. Mom said we have to mix it up a little bit once in awhile!

Dear Terry, I haven't been feeling good again. First on New Year's Day, I ate a lot of snacks again. Mom wasn't watching what me and Dad were eating. Mom gave me tummy medicine again. Now it's really cold and I'm stiff and sore. Petey wants to play but I told him I can't move so fast right now. Tonight, Mom put my coat on me in the house. Plus I was under the covers with Dad. Mom said I did a great job today as the perfect snuggle dog! I wish she could put something on my ears because they are cold too. Brrrrrr.

Dear Terry, tonight I was kind of bored. I tried playing with Dad but he's tired. I took my tug tug toy and shoved it in Petey's face. He said Fred! Cats don't play tug tug! I want to sleep in my blanket! I just stood in the middle of the room barking! No one wanted to play with me! I do everything with everyone all the time! Mom told dad to get my puzzle toy out. Oh boy he put lots and lots of peanut butter all over it and then he sprinkled cat food all over it!! Oh my gosh what fun!!! But then it was all gone. Mom said get your tug tug! I ran and got it right away! Me and Mom played and played and finally I won!! If I win, I always give her the tug tug back. I put it on her foot. Now I'm getting tired. I'm snuggled in with Mom on the couch. When I get cold Mom puts me under the blanket. i hope all your cats snuggle in with you at once! That makes everything better!

Dear Terry, Merry Christmas! I got a WHOLE PLATE of frosted biscuits with sprinkles!! Mom says there were three of them! I ate them all!! It was so exciting! At first I thought I didn't get any! Mom took me outside as soon as I woke up. I didn't smell anything for me at all. I was worried. We came back in and it was like magic! I could smell peanut butter frosting! I must have missed it before because the plate was on the counter! Mom put it on the floor for me! Oh the sprinkles went everywhere! Petey and Penny got good stinky liver food. It's their favorite! Then we helped open gifts. Oh that's right, I got a gift!! A new tug tug toy!! Oh my the excitement! I showed it to Petey right away. He doesn't play tug tug though. Plus he was busy playing with all the paper! We all had fun!
I hope you got good biscuits too!
