Dear Terry, what a day already! Dad got sick and was so upset he didn't even want me in his lap! It was very upsetting. Even Leroy was upset. Mom took us outside for a walk to help calm things down. We walked and played in the mud! Mom left me on the front porch like she always does. I like the quiet. I watch everyone go off to work. I watch the birdies too. Leroy gets extra play time because he's just a nut. He even got extra time this morning to stay outside with me. We sat on the bench together looking out over yard. He was quiet. Then he found his little bucket. Mom lets him have it on the front porch. He started throwing it around. Putting his head in it. Barking at it. Then he threw it and it hit Mom's new front door. Oh Boy. We both stood there. Mom came to the door and said LEROY BROWN! Mom looked at the door inside and outside. We stood there. She still had her hands on her hips. Not a good sign. She pointed at us and said, You're BOTH lucky! No Damage! Sometimes I get in trouble when Leroy gets in trouble. Leroy picked his bucket back up and stuck his head in it. Mom laughed and laughed! I barked, everything was ok again! When we got back inside Dad let me snuggle in with him. Mom knows I'll keep an eye on him.

Barks and Wags, FredDog

P.S. who knew a bucket could make so much noise!!! Howls & Hugs, Leroy!
