Dear Terry, Guess what Petey did??? He climbed in the dishwasher! He's not supposed to do that. I said PETEY! but he said what Fred? Mom has to catch me first! And in he went! Mom said PETEY! and he said what Mom?? Fred told me it was OK?? Mom had to take the whole rack out and everything because Petey wasn't budging. He was rolling all around being silly! Then Mom took me outside on the deck to help her plant plants. Petey meowed and meowed at the screen door he was so upset we were doing something without him. I said Petey you are afraid of the outside! He said no I'm not let me OUT! Mom said Petey, you are always afraid of the outside, he said LET ME OUT. It's only on the deck. Mom doesn't allow us to run free in the yard. Mom let Petey out on the deck and sure enough he got scared and wanted back in. I went over to him. I don't like to see my pal upset. I licked him on the head until he calmed down and then he laid down in the shade and fell asleep. I stayed with him to make sure he didn't get scared again. Mom got a lot of stuff planted and even Dad was outside with us and he fell asleep too! When Petey woke up I showed him how to drink out of a bowl of water with lots of ice in it. We like ice! What a great day!

Dear Terry, Mom is still on strike. She does all kinds of stuff during the day to keep busy. Me and Petey help all the time. Like today. I helped Mom get the garbage can from the curb. Usually she's careful and I don't get bonked in the head with it. But today she bonked me in the head and I said WOOOFWOOOOF. I lived. Mom promised to be more careful and said we will go for a walk later on today in the woods! Yay! I love to walk in the woods. Petey helped with the dishes. He sticks his foot in the running water to help rinse things off. A lot of times though all it does is get Mom or Dad all wet! Penny Cat doesn' have to do anything. She's Penny Cat. She owns the kitchen. She talks a whole lot now. Meow meow meow. She tells us everything that is going on. Don't take her spot on the counter though! Then you really hear about it! I hope Mom stays on strike. We all like having her here. Even Dad! Woof!

Dear Terry, Petey Cat ran outside yesterday and it was really scary for all of us!! Mom was coming in the door and Petey ran right past her, I said PETEY NO don't go outside! Mom yelled PETEY! Oh my gosh it was really scary. We all know Petey is afraid of the outside! Mom went right after him. He was in the bushes by the door. Then he got really scared and tried to run inside and ran into the door. Mom hurried up and opened it and he ran right in. He was so scared! I said Oh my Gosh Petey!! Are you OK??? I sniffed him head to tail to make sure nothing had happened to my friend. I said PETEY, you can't go outisde unless I am with you! Mom scooped him up and held on to him until he purred. Whew! What a scary time that was!

Dear Terry, I haven't sent you a picture in a long time and Mom took a good one a few days ago when she gave me my new bone to chew. So here I am. I want her to send a picture of Petey Cat too. Mom caught him in the act of being bad but he doesn't look so bad in the picture. We got in some trouble last night. Petey bit me. I wasn't doing anything at all. All I was doing was kind of pushing him around w my nose and MAYBE barking in his face a little. He bit my tail and I yelped and we both got in trouble! Woof.
Hope you like my picture, Love and Woofs, FredDog!

Dear Terry, We had some excitement already today!! First, we ran out of biscuits for me. Dad gives me one every morning when I come back inside with Mom. He puts peanut butter on it for me! Dad said HEY! Where are all the biscuits and I said Dad??? Where is my biscuit?? He found a half one in the bottom of the Biscuit Bucket. Mom ran out to get more for me. What a good Mom I have! THEN, Petey was being Petey. He was messing around the kitchen chairs and he tipped one over and it went CRASH! onto the floor!! Petey was OK though. Whew! Dad hurried up and came over to make sure he was ok and he gave Dad a kiss on the nose. Whew Again! I wonder what else is going to happen today!
Hope you have an exciting day too!
Love and Woofs, FredDog!
P.S. Mom still on Strike. We like having her home so I hope it never ends. Mom said No Fred, we want it to end! I said No Mom that means you will have to go back to work and none of us want that!
Mom is always right but I think she might be wrong on this one.

Dear Terry, Mom is still on Strike. This has been so much fun! We walk every morning for a long time all around the yard checking on all the plants and the creek and where the deer were sleeping and everything! We also play games every day! Me, Mom and Dad played Speedy Delivery! Mom put my backpack on. That means that I have a job to do. Usually it means I have to carry water for us when we go for walks on hot days. I'm real good at carrying stuff. Mom loaded up my backback with a book and a paper and told me to go find Dad! And I ran and I went right to Dad and he gave me a treat for bringing him the book and the paper! He put some other stuff in my backpack and said Go get Mom! And I did! She was excited to get stuff back! We played that until I was tired. It was great! I'll have to show you how good I can carry stuff. Mom says that will come in handy when we go to the Ocean. She said if I carry my stuff real good I can dig in the Sand all the holes I want!

Dear Terry, Mom is still on Strike! Yesterday she had to leave before the sun was up and go walk in the rain. She didn't come home until late in the afternoon! She was all wet and soggy. Even her shoes were squishy. I was hoping to go for a walk but I could tell Mom wasn't up for more walking! But good news! Dad and Grammy went out. When Grammy came in she gave me tummy rubs!! It was so good to see my Gram! Then when they came back they brought in Food! Chips and salsa and leftovers from the Chinese place. Mom ate a whole lot of the leftovers. I tried to help her with that but she said No, Chinese Food not good for Dogs! I tried to tell her that is NOT what Dad says but she wouldn't share anything! Mom says we can go for a walk today. I hope she takes me to see the fire trucks again!

Dear Terry, The most exciting thing ever happened! Me and Mom drove down to the fire house Wednesday. She dropped off all the newspapers in the the big bin. That's not the exciting part. There is a walking trail that runs behind the firehouse and into the woods and up the hillside. Mom calls it the Firehouse Trail and it's a mile long. That's not the exciting part either. We started walking the trail. It has mile markers and Mom reads those to me as we pass them. We got to mile marker Point Five Oh. This is the exciting part. And I heard it. I stopped and turned right around. Mom was a little slower. She didn't hear it. But as soon as she turned around I BOLTED and started running as hard as I could and Mom had to run after me. I forgot the leash was on so I had to slow down for Mom. We RAN and RAN back the trail. Mom finally understood when she could see through the trees why I was so excited!! We ran back through the woods, over the levee. Don't go near the sides you will fall in the water! And when we got to the start of the trail, I was there to greet the Fire Trucks coming back to the Station!!!! The big truck even turned the lights on for me and I was so happy and I was wagging my tail and everything!! Mom laughed and patted me on the side. She couldn't really talk because she was out of breath. It was the BEST DAY EVER!!

Dear Terry, I found a big piece of squirrel fur in the driveway! I picked it up right away so that Mom couldn't see that I had it in my mouth. Mom is quick though. She said Fred DROP IT. I pretended not to hear her. FRED. I looked at her like she was nuts. FRED. I kept walking. FREDDOG you put that thing down NOW. Don't make me open your mouth! Sigh. I put it underneath one of the bushes so I can check it out later on. It's a pretty big piece. Almost forgot! Me and Mom went to the Dog Park! I haven't been there in a long time and this time there were lots of people and lots of dogs and lots of excitement and smells! I ran and ran. I played with other dogs and I barked like a wild dog! I dug a hole. Ran around even more. I was so tired when we left that I fell asleep even before we started to drive home! Mom had to wake me up when we got home! I ran and told Dad everything. Then we fell asleep for a good long time. I hope Mom takes me there again. There were no weirdos there this time. Lots of friendly, nice people. I can't go today. I have to take care of Dad. He had a tooth pulled out yesterday and he hurts. I've been sitting next to him to keep him company. He said it hurts a whole bunch. Mom is still on Strike. I think Strike is OK. We all get to spend lots of time together. Dad sure is happier to have her around during the day! Me too!

P.S. This is PennyCat. Mom took me and Petey out on the deck this morning to get some sunshine. Petey still is scared to go outside. I try and help him out by head butting him and showing him you can walk all over the deck and sit in the sunshine and eat plants. Mom said he stayed out for 10 minutes. She keeps an eye on us just in case there is a problem or she sees the Hawks. Mom doesn't let FredDog out on the deck when I am out there. That's because he won't share the sunshine and we all know I get the sunshine first, every time. Me and Petey shared the sunshine though. For once, he sat still and smells the breeze with me. Sometimes he can be OK.

Dear Terry, We had some excitement this morning! Jimmy the dog from up the road came running out of his house and he was chasing a CAT! Mom says Jimmy is a Jack Russell. Jimmy came running down the hill to the back yard and SPLASH right in the creek and mud! The cat escaped! Then he tried to come into our yard and I barked at him! Jimmy this is MY yard! He barked barked back and took off running back up the hill into the woods and pretty soon another cat came running out! Jimmy went SPLASH again! And I barked again! Jimmy stop that ! It's MY yard!! He went running away and the cat escaped. They all know him. He's crazy. Sometimes in the summer Jimmy will bust out and come visit me on the deck. That's when we hear the neighbor call him....JIMMMMMMMMMYYYY real loud. It must be spring if Jimmy is busting out already!

Dear Terry, Mom has been keeping us pretty busy around here. So far we have gone for walks in the park every day. And Mom has been doing stuff all around the house. She even mopped the floor but Me and Petey didn't know that and we ran all over it and got paw prints everywhere! Dad's been helping too. He made a blackberry pie last night! I wasn't allowed to have any but I did get a little taste of the whipped cream on top. It was right on the edge of Mom's plate! HEYY FREDDDD! But it was too late I already had a taste!! Woof! Oh and Dad helped to make Mac n Cheese. I like Mac n Cheese. Mom even gave me a little taste of that too! I got a whole noodle! Lots of ooey gooey cheese on it! Me and Petey follow Mom everywhere to see what she will be doing next. Dad makes sure she takes breaks. OH! And I forgot! Guess what I did at the park!! I treed a big giangantic squirrel!! I spotted him and dragged mom right to where he was and I almost caught him! I snapped at his tail but he ran up the tree! And I jumped up on the tree and Mom kindof freaked out at that point. I didn't get very far up the tree. Mom says it was like a foot off the ground. I bet I could have climbed the whole way up. Mom lost sight of the squirrel in the tree so I stood up and did a real good point for her and then she saw him again! I still wasn't allowed to climb the tree though. Party Pooper Mom!

Dear Terry, Mom had to get up real early this morning. Even before the sun was up. She said she had to go on Strike! I don't know what that is, but Mom said it means a lot of walking. And it means she isn't getting any money. I know what money is. You have to give that to the lady in the Tractor Supply or you don't get to take your treats home. Mom handles all that because I don't work and I don't have thumbs. But I do end up with the treats! I wonder if I will have to give up my treats. Mom said no Fred you won't. Me and Dad aren't so sure. Dad is real worried. Mom said don't worry guys! Nothing will happen to the house and you will have food on the table. Me and Petey already share our food, I bet that will help Mom! Mom said one good thing about Strike is that she can spend some time at home. We all like that. She even said we can go for walks all the time if I want. Walks are free! When Mom got home from Strike this morning she was pooped out! We took a nap together. It is real nice having Mom back home. Even Petey and PennyCat said so!

Dear Terry, Guess where I was?? A Birthday Party! for Nephew Sam! There was cake and ice cream and spaghetti and meatballs! I like meatballs. Everyone was there! Even Uncle Tom! Then this morning me and Mom went for a walk around the neighborhood. Usually that means we are heading home but I could tell this was different! Me and Mom and Dad in our car, and everyone else left in the van! We went to Aunt Laura's for breakfast! I knew as soon as I got out of the car that there was going to be BACON once we got inside. And I was right!! And just so happens Mom started to help with the Bacon! I helped Mom. Oh and I got to meet Aunt Kay. She likes Dogs. And Nolan talked to me a whole lot this entire trip. Sam gave me lots of pets. Dad gave me some waffles right under the table. I was so tired that by the time we left, I fell asleep! So did Dad. When we got home, Petey was meowing like crazy on the table and I ran right away to see him. He was full of head butts! He's my friend! Then we ran all around. It's what we do! It's good to be back home! I like seeing everyone in Mom's family but I miss being here. I'm real good at pooping at rest stops now. I used to be afraid but I'm not anymore because Mom stays right next to me. I better go find PennyCat and see what she is up to!

Dear Terry, More men were here today! Me and Petey had to stay in the bedroom. Mom says that's because we are busy bodies and the men have to work. Penny Cat hit Mom in the face with her paw she was so mad. She had to go into the second bedroom. She biffed Mom just like she hits me on the head. Mom didn't get mad though. She gave Penny Cat a big pet on the head and Penny Cat settled down and head butted Mom. No one likes when Penny Cat gets upset! Guess what the men were doing this time?? They had to fix a leak in a pipe! Petey found the leak when Mom and him were in the basement doing stuff. It happened right while Mom was there! Petey said the water came out like a rain shower! Mom hurried up and turned off the water and cleaned up a puddle. Dad called the men this morning to come over and fix it. Oh and Petey helped Mom clean things up. He likes helping Mom. Petey got a little wet but he was OK. He didn't seem to mind! Dad sure is pooped out. When he let us out of the bedroom, we ran to find Penny Cat. I got sidetracked and ate all her food. I didn't tell Dad that part. What a good snack!

P.S. Petey Cat here. I helped Mom A LOT. I could hear the water hissing before Mom could. I ran and got her and ran back to the water. Then it happened, water sprayed everywhere! It was like the night I was running outside when the root cellar broke! Mom sure can run fast when she wants to that's for sure! Oh and today I went for a ride with Mom on the Magic Chair! I could tell FredDog was jealous! ROARRRRRR , Petey Cat.

I didn't tell Dad that part. What a good snack!
Barks and Wags! FredDog
P.S. Petey Cat here. I helped Mom A LOT. I could hear the water hissing before Mom could. I ran and got her and ran back to the water. Then it happened, water sprayed everywhere! It was like the night I was running outside when the root cellar broke! Mom sure can run fast when she wants to that's for sure! Oh and today I went for a ride with Mom on the Magic Chair! I could tell FredDog was jealous! ROARRRRRR , Petey Cat.

Dear Terry, We had a busy day here yesterday! Some men came to the house again and now we have a Magic Chair. I don't know how it works. But it's on the basement steps and it goes up and down without anyone pushing it or anything! Dad sits on it and he goes down the steps. And up the steps. I watch every time but it just moves on it's own! Dad told me it's Magic. Penny Cat was very afraid of it and she hid in the furnace room. Mom showed it to Petey and now he is OK. Mom says the Magic Chair will even stop in case one of us runs into it by mistake. Dad says no more falling down the steps Freddie! I can sit in my chair and go wherever I want! I said Oh Good Dad let's go to the Park! But he said No, the Magic Chair only goes up and down in the house. Dad was real scared of the steps before. He's not anymore!
Love and Woofs! FredDog!

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!

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!

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.

Dear Terry, Petey woke me up this morning. He said FRED get up now! Come see out the window! I think spring is here! I hurried up to look and he was right! The sun was up and the birds were all singing and hanging out on the bird feeder. LOTS of birds! Little birds, big birds and they were all singing! I woke Mom up right away to show her too. She was excited to see all the birds too! She promised me a walk in the park! We did go to the park. But not right away. Mom fell asleep again. Petey and I kept watching the birds for a long time together. We woke Mom up again to get her moving so we could see Spring for ourselves. Mom said FRED, it's only been 10 minutes. She knows I can't tell time. All I know is that it was a long time for me and Petey! Later on though we went to the park. I think we walked forever! There were lots of people and other dogs there and kids running around and making all kinds of silly noises. We took our time walking. Mom said we aren't in any hurry today Fred. I looked for frogs along the ponds but I didn't find any. Mom said it's too early yet for frogs. I did spy a FISH and I barked at it a lot. It swam away from the edge. We were gone so long that Dad had fallen asleep and he didn't even wake up when we got home. I ran to tell him everything. He said what a great trip Fred! I know! I told Petey all about it too. Then we ran all around. That's what we do! What a great day!

Dear Terry, More excitement yesterday here at the house!! Men came to the house and they riped out the old carpet in the kitchen, I don't know why because it was the best carpet to dig holes in! Then after a lot of noise and a long time me and Petey were allowed out of the bedroom. And there's a whole new floor in the kitchen and it is SLIPPERY. Petey figured out if he runs and he can slide the whole length of the kitchen and then do it all over again! I won't do that. I walk on my tippy toes. Nice and easy. Until Petey scares me then my feet go nowhere fast!! Petey keep trying to get me to slide like he does. Mom said that might be a disaster if I do, so I don't. And there is new carpet on the steps. Petey says it's good for running too. I don't like steps. I wish we had the old carpet back. This new floor is no good for digging at all!

Dear Terry,
Oh my gosh the food machine broke!! Mom was really worried all the food would go bad! I didn't know what to do! I told Petey this is a DISASTER! Mom and Dad knew what to do though. They called the fix it man right away this morning and he came to the house and he fixed it! There was lots of noise and me and Petey stayed safe in the bedroom. You can't imagine how scary it all was. I was thinking oh my gosh how are we goning to EAT??? Dad said everything is OK after the fix it man left. Me and Petey made sure to check everything out. Dad said to celebrate let's have PIZZA! Petey and I agreed!! FOOD! Dad said to stop worrying because PIZZA can fix a lot of stuff. He was right! Good Pepperoni! I've been really tired the past few days. Me and Mom had gone for a big walk in the woods and it was all muddy. We had a hard time walkng. Mom had good boots on so she didn't do any slip n slides. But i sure was tired after that and kind of stiff. Plus it took a lot of work to get my feet clean. We all know I don't like my feet dirty. Mom didn't do a very good job of cleaning them and then I fell asleep getting them all fixed up. Whew!!

Dear Terry, Happy Valentine's Day! OXO! I don't like this cold so much. I was so excited to see the sunshine this morning. Me and Petey woke Mom up right away as soon as we saw it! But then when I got outside, I realized it was all just a trick! It wasn't warm at all. And when we walked around the house, my feet started to freeze and cramp up and Mom had to unfreeze them for me and got me back inside right away! I told Dad all about it. Petey Cat always wants to walk with us but Mom doesn't let him go outside. I said Petey, BRRRRRRR. And then we ran all around the house! Mom says she might start to teach Petey to walk on a leash too so he can come with us. When I go outside with Mom he runs window to window watching us. When Mom asks, Fred do you have to pee? Petey comes running and waits right next to me at the door. Then Mom shuts the door in his face and it's really sad to see him in the windows. I can hear him meowing. Dad does a good job of distracting him though. Dad and Petey have treat time! Petey eats snacks right out of his hand! Penny Cat gets her treats as soon as Mom wakes up. Oh! And you know what I got this morning? Good stinky wet gushy food in my treat bowl! YUMYUMYUMMMM. And it was all gone! I was going to share with Petey until he realized he had his own good stinky food. Sometimes we share our food, sometimes we don't. I'm getting pretty good at sharing. Petey was very cold last night. I was under the blanket and I let him snuggle in with me so he could get warm too. I let him use my foot as a pillow and he put his feathery big tail over my nose and we both warmed right up!
Hope your nose is warm today!

Dear Terry, We have a bunch of snow here! I like snow. You can roll in it, you can catch it on your tongue and you can lick it off the ground! When Mom got home last night we went outside and I did all of those things! She tossed snow on me when I wasn't looking and I barked and we had fun playing in the snow! Then my feet started to freeze so we went back inside. I told Petey all about it and we ran through the house! I don't know why we ran through the house. It's what we do when something exciting happens like playing in the snow. Dad laughed and laughed. Petey is really good at running. He can even run up the curtains! Mom says he better be careful though when we get the new floor in the kitchen. It might be slippery. Mom says she might have to get some throw rugs for the flight path. Oh and we have a problem with Petey Cat. He hogs all the warm air! He sits right in front of the vent in the living room and wont move. He blocks all the air coming out.., He says a cat can't ever be warm enough and he won't budge! Dad has to bundle up, icicles form on the end of my nose,....Nope won't budge. Sometimes I nose him out of the way so I can lay down there. His tail goes SWISH SWISH SWISH. I haven't lost an eye yet! I better go, me and Mom are going out to play in the snow again!

Mom says he better be careful though when we get the new floor in the kitchen. It might be slippery. Mom says she might have to get some throw rugs for the flight path. Oh and we have a problem with Petey Cat. He hogs all the warm air! He sits right in front of the vent in the living room and wont move. He blocks all the air coming out.., He says a cat can't ever be warm enough and he won't budge! Dad has to bundle up, icicles form on the end of my nose,....Nope won't budge. Sometimes I nose him out of the way so I can lay down there. His tail goes SWISH SWISH SWISH. I haven't lost an eye yet! I better go, me and Mom are going out to play in the snow again!

Dear Terry, We have an emergency!! It's the Fridge. I call it the Food Closet but Mom says it is really a Fridge. It keeps turning off and on off and on. Mom says someone has to fix it. I hope this doesn't mean we will be out of food! Lots of good stuff comes out of there. At first I thought Petey might have broken it. Mom said No, this was one thing he hasn't broken. Sometimes things get old and break. Sometimes things come in contact with Petey and break. Like last night. He was pulling stuff off of the bookcase. Those are breakables. Mom wasn't happy and he got in trouble. Petey was mad too. He wanted to get something off the shelf. You know what he did instead?? He went over to Mom's purse and started pulling stuff out and then he dumped it on the floor. Oh boy. Mom walked away. When she came back she wasn't so mad and her and Petey cleaned things up off the floor. Oh and you know what Mom and Petey are doing??? Mom is teaching him to give her a High Five! I was showing him how to do it too! I was helping! He almost has it!

Dear Terry, Guess what Mom said we are going to do?? We are going to see the Ocean. I don't know what that is but Mom and Dad are awfully excited about it. Petey and Penny Cat didn't know what the Ocean is either. Mom told me it is the biggest pool of water I have ever seen. It's so big you can't see the other side. I'm not so sure about that. You know Sea Monsters live in the water. I saw them myself in the pond one summer. Mom said there is lots of sand there too. I don't know what sand is either. Mom said it's good for digging. That sounds great doesn't it?? Oh and Mom said there is a special section of the Beach that only dogs can play on. The Beach is where all the sand is and where I can see the Ocean up close. It sounds kind of scary to me, all that water. Mom said don't worry Fred! You will have a life vest on and I will stay right by your side. Hmmm. I don't swim. We aren't going for awhile but Mom said she had to make the plans early so we could have a nice place to stay when we are there. I said let's go to the Mountains again but Dad wants to see the Ocean. If Dad wants to see the Ocean, then I want to see the Ocean too!
Here is what PeteyCat has been doing. He's been being Bad that's what! I get all comfy under the covers and put my head on the pillow and go to sleep. Then he jumps on me and scares me half to death and I jump and bark and Mom and Dad yell, PETEY! And he hides around corners and jumps in my face. And he hides under the couch and TOUCHES MY FEET. I chase him and he chases me. That part I don't mind. That's fun. When I eat, he jumps off the counter onto my head. Mom calls him the Holy Terror. But then he lays down real queit with us and purrs. He's really good at purring. PRRRRRRR and it puts me right to sleep and I let him lay his head on my side. He's my bestest friend ever!

Dear Terry, Petey got in some trouble. First, he's been shredding part of the shower curtain. And then he put a HUGE hole in it. Mom had to go buy a new one, but it's not plastic like the old one. It's a fabric one. Mom said that will fix him! I have my doubts. THEN he must have gotten a paw in the poop bag drawer. Mom didn't shut it all the way. Petey is always trying to get into drawers and cabinets. He pulled out the whole entire roll of poop bags and they were all over the kitchen and the floor. Dad said PETEY! What did you do!!??? Oh boy Petey was in trouble AGAIN. I try telling him don't do stuff like that. But he says, Look Fred! Look what I found! Mom thinks he took Dad's keys and stashed them away somewhere. Sometimes we find his stashes. Sometimes we don't. One time he put a paper bag all the way under the bed. He said that it was for safe keeping in case he wanted to play with it later on. Mom let him keep it there since it wasn't in the way. I don't let him touch my toys. I keep all of them together in one spot. When he's being nice to me, I let him lay on them and fall asleep. Mom and Dad caught him sleeping on a shelf today in the bookcase. Mom said he looked to cute to get in trouble. I know if I tried to do that I would get yelled at. Mom says there are plenty of things I get away with so we are even. I have my doubts on that too. I'm a Good Dog. Dad says so all the time!

Dear Terry, Mom is sorry we haven't written in awhile. Dad says she's had a lot on her plate. I don't know what that means but Mom says everything is OK now. Last night we had treats in bed! SNACKS!! We haven't had those in a long time! And last night me and Mom played in the snow in the driveway. What FUN! Mom says we might get a little more snow to play in but not much. I like to stick my nose in the snow and snort and the snow flies everywhere! I told Petey Cat he doesn't want to go out in the snow because it will make his feet cold. He watches us from the windows though when me and Mom go outside. Last night me and Petey ran and ran around the house until Mom told us enough! Time for Bed! Penny Cat stays away from us when we run around. Mom says we scare her a little. I hope it snows and Me and Mom can go to the park and play in the snow there!

Dear Terry, Mom got home earlier than she usually does today! It was very exciting! I barked and barked and chased Petey. I even barked at Penny Cat. We went out in the snow! I stuck my nose all the way in the snow and snorted until it flew up in the air! SNOW! I like to stick my tongue out and taste it when it falls out of the sky. I scoop it off the ground too and eat it! YUMMY! Tastes just like cold water!! Mom threw snow on me and we played and played. Mom's been worried about stuff lately and it was good to hear her laugh. Petey watched us from the window. Petey went to the vet tonight. He wasn't very happy being stuffed in the carrier. He pushed and shoved and ran all around and Mom still figured out how to get him in there. When he got home he told me it was real good to see me! He smelled like the vet. Mom said he was a Good Cat! Hardly anyone says that, usually Mom and Dad say PeteyNOOOOO. I gave him a big lick on the head. I missed him while he was gone. We're both pretty tired now. We did a lot of running when he got home.

Dear Terry, Petey has worms!!! WORMS!! That's what Mom said. I don't know what that is but it sounds yucky even to this dog! He has to go to the VET for a check up too. I tried to tell Petey about the VET but he doesn't understand. He thinks if he is with Mom nothing bad will happen. I told him all about how the VET will shine lights in your eyes and look in your ears and touch your feet. He didn't think it was all that bad sounding. Just you wait Petey Cat! You'll see!! Petey's birthday is coming up. That's the day he was adopted from the shelter. I didn't tell him about birthdays. That should be a surprise! I bet Mom makes him some good treats. Hope I get an extra peanut butter biscuit out of it. Petey likes cheese so I think Mom should make him something cheesy good! OH here comes the neighbors down the driveway! I Have to go bark at them!!

Dear Terry, Happy New Year! I don't know what that means but Mom has been saying it a lot. Me and Mom went for a walk in the woods in the park today. In the snow! I like the snow. I kept my nose in the wind so I could smell every smell out there. What a walk! Mom was pretty cold when we got back to the car. So was I only I didn't know it until we got into the nice warm car. Mom says she has wind burn because we kept walking into the wind. Oh!! And I got to go to Grammy and Pap's house too this evening! Grammy gave me crackers! I ran and barked at Pap and then I ran to see Grammy! And Dad was there too! Mom had dropped him off there eariler so he could watch football with Pap. I did my tricks for Grammy and she laughed and gave me crackers! CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH! Mom drove real slow coming home because it was still snowing outside! When I got home I ran and found Petey and I barked in his face I was so happy to see him! Then we ran all around. I am so pooped out! Oh and I even helped Mom outside take down Christmas decorations. I had a great time today I hardly slept a wink!

Dear Terry, We had some scary excitement here today. Mom says to tell you that no kitties were hurt. Petey has been bad again. He keeps opening cabinets and throwing stuff out. Mom's not so happy about that. This morning, Dad was putting his coat in the closet and Petey jumped in. But I was the only who saw him go in there. I knew it was trouble. Petey isn't allowed in the closets. He makes a mess out of whatever is in there. Dad shut the door and Petey was inside. At first he didn't make a peep. I'm not sure he realized that he couldn't get out. I was right there by the door. Then he tried to get out and couldn't and he panicked. MEOW MEOW MEOW. Mom didn't hear him. Dad didn't hear him. They were downstairs! Mom was getting ready to leave for work. Oh no! MEOW MEOW MEOW. Mom came to say good bye to me like she always does and she finally heard him. She said Fred? Where's the Cat? She opened up the door and Petey flew out and landed right on her shoulder! Mom said he jumped from the top of the hangers. She told Petey everything was OK and pretty soon he was purring. Good sign! Mom put him down once he was settled down and I sniffed him from the tips of his ears all the way to his tail. He was OK! Petey said WHEW! He sure was glad to see all of us! What a day! We took a nap together after all that excitement!
Love and Woofs, FredDog
P.S. Petey Cat here. That was scary. I was in the dark and I couldn't get the door open and Fred wasn't getting Mom or Dad. Dad never saw me go in the closet. I wanted to see what was in there and why I'm not allowed in there. Mom says it's becasue I take everything out instead of leaving everything in it's place. All I know is that I was sure glad to see Mom open that door! I was even glad to see FredDog. He let me lay down and take a nap with him. I sleep under his tail and rest my head on him. Maybe I won't chase him so much anymore. Maybe. I have to think on that some more.

Dear Terry, Santa outdid himself this year for my gift! I got big bag of chew bones. All for me! AND instead of biscuits, he left me a whole bowl of chicken stew. It had peas and carrots and chicken and some taters in there! I could smell it as soon as I got up and I pushed past Petey and ran into the kitchen and there it was in my bowl!! You should have smelled it. What a great gift! Mom said Santa must have thought I have been extra good to give me such a treat! I worked on that chew bone all day long. Nothing better then something to chew on for the day. I haven't had one in awhile. CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP. Then me and Mom went for a walk in the woods. Not a long one though because it was late and getting dark. OH! And Grammy got me a glow in the dark leash! Me and Mom tested it out last night in the driveway. Mom can make it blink. I'm not sure I like it blinking but I kept turning around to see the glowing part. We had a lot of fun! Petey and Penny Cat got good stinky fishy food. They gobbled that right down! Mom even gave them jingle balls to play with in the basement. They have to keep them down there because I might accidentally eat them and Dad always steps on them. Hope you had a good Christmas and I hope Santa brought Newton the best biscuits ever!

Dear Terry, Santa is coming soon! I know it! Me and Mom and Dad have been busy decorating to make sure Santa can find the house ok. Oh and we went to Nolan's Birthday Party. Meatloaf is good! so are mashed taters! Only I wasn't so good sometimes and I had to sit separate from everyone for a little bit until I could calm down. But only a little bit. I like to watch the gifts getting open. Everyone is always in a good mood at birthday parties! I even slept in Grandpap's lap for a little bit. I sure was wore out. We had snacks at night. I got to have crackers! and cheese! how can you beat that for fun!? We had a long drive home. Dad was really pooped out. We both slept while Mom drove the whole way. As soon as I got home I ran and found Petey Cat. He was meowing on the kitchen table. It sure was good to see my friend again. Penny Cat even came out and kissed me on the nose. She must have missed me too! Mom says you might be coming to see us soon. I can't wait to see you again Friend!! Wait until you meet Petey! Did you make a list for Santa? I asked Santa for frosted biscuits with sprinkles. I ask for those every year and every year Santa comes though for me and like magic they are on the counter for me Christmas Morning! Petey Cat is skeptical. He says how does Santa come in the house without us knowing? I said he comes in while we are sleeping and leaves us special treats! But you have to be GOOD. He's been bad. He steals ornaments off the tree and Mom has been finding them everywhere! She even found one in the litter box! PETEYNOOOOOO!
Oh I can't wait to see you Terry, Love and Woofs, FredDog!!

Dear Santa, Mom says I came up with a pretty good list this year, even though it looks a lot like last year's list. I thought I would tell you all the good things I did this year.
Good Things:
1. I learned how to play nice with my cat friends. Now I only chase Petey Cat when we play. And I hardly ever sit on him anymore when he annoys me. I think that's pretty good.
2. I hardly ever make Penny Cat fluffy. Not since I learned that cats have claws and aren't afraid to use them to put an eye out.
3. I help Dad all the time, especially when he doesn't feel good.
4. I don't steal underpants anymore. Hardly.
5. I bark real loud when anyone comes on the property to let Mom and Dad know something is going on.
6. I protected Mom in the park from weirdos.
7. I let Petey Cat sometimes eat my food. And I even let him sleep next to me and use me as a pillow.
See, Santa??? I've worked hard at being good!! What I would really like for Christams are some of those frosted biscuits you bring me every year on a plate!! The kind with the sprinkles on them. Maybe you could bring little ones for Petey and Penny Cat. We like any flavors. I already have my Christmas Collar on because I can barely stand the wait until the holiday gets here!

Dear Terry, I almost have my letter to Santa ready. Mom is helping me with the writing part. Petey is going to make a list too. He said his was pretty short. AND you won't believe who Dad found in the closet today! Santa!! He lights up. Mom says it is the real Santa's way of watching me and Petey. He doesn't watch Penny Cat because she's good all the time. I met Santa you know. I have the pictures to prove it too! Mom says me and Petey better come up with some good lists. She said Santa has his eyes on us. I believe her too. Oh and Mom put candles in the windows. She had to tape them down because me and Petey kept knocking them over. She said Duct tape is the best thing ever for Christmas ornaments. And The Tree goes up this weekend. We were going to do it last week but we got side tracked. Better go! I hear Petey making noise!! PETEYNOOOOO is his real name.

Dear Terry, Mom's really been working hard lately and we haven't written. She says I have to get my list to Santa ready. I'll be sending that soon! We tried to go for a walk yesterday and I was really excited about it. But it got wayyy to scary for me. Someone was shooting a gun in the woods. I don't like that. I started to panic and I forgot where the car was and I couldn't think straight. Mom sat down on the ground with me and held me tight and covered my ears until I could think again. She told me we would go right back to the car. That noise is so loud I never know what to do. Mom always knows though and she helps me out no matter how scared I am. When we got home Mom told Dad how scared I was and I snuggled in with him and watched football. Well, kind of watched football. We fell asleep! I better go see what Petey Cat is doing. He's never far away but I don't hear him at all. Mom says that usually means trouble! Sounds like fun to me !!

Dear Terry, Thanksgiving is over! And what a day it was! Mom and Dad and me got up early and starting baking stuff. Mom and Dad made a pie and some kind of cranberry thing. And I knew there was turkey coming up! Mom got out on of her special tablecloths for the table. She always gets out the special dishes too. The Breakables. Petey Cat didn't know what was going on. He sampled some raw egg that mom was going to use. YUCKO! Mom says his name should be Peteynoooo. He helped me look in the oven window as things were cooking. We helped Mom start to put up the Christmas stuff too while all the food was cooking. Oh and me and Mom went for a big walk in the park. I was tired after that but we had so much fun! When we got home, Mom was going to get out the Breakable Dishes. Then it happened. PETEYNOOOOOO. He pulled the tablecloth right off the table!!! I stood there with Mom, staring at the table. OH boy this wasn't good. Even worse, Petey kept playing with the tablecloth. Mom let out a big SIGH. I guess I won't be getting out the Pretty Dishes this year....Dad said, you better not... I said Woof! And Petey Cat said ROARRRRRRR and played some more with the tablecloth on the floor. Mom did give us all a little bit of turkey later on though! And I got to have a crescent roll with gravy! My favorite! Then we all watched TV. Me and Mom and Dad and Petey and Penny Cat.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Dear Terry, Guess what!? I went to the Pet Palace and Mom and Dad took a trip to eat some good food. At first I was nervous. I hadn't been there in awhile. But Mom made sure I had my bed with me and my blanket. Then I got to play with the other dogs non stop almost! I could run and bark and be silly. I liked all the dogs there. Before I knew it, Mom was there to pick me up! I ran and pulled when I saw Mom. It seemed like forever since I had seen her! The kennel lady let go of the leash so I could get to Mom faster. Mom gave me a big hug and when I got home I ran straight to Dad and then Petey and Penny! It was so good to see everyone! Me and Petey couldn't stop chasing each other. We laid down with Mom in the bed and fell asleep. All of us sure were tired!

Dear Terry, Me and Mom went for a walk today in the park. We were the only ones there! How can everyone stay inside on a great fall day??? You know what we saw?? Deer! Lots of deer! They ran everywhere. I barked real loud at them. Then all we saw were their white butts running up the big hill! Oh and we walked down by the water too. Guess what we saw there!?? The Mallards! They went swooshhhh into the water when we got to close to them. QUACK QUACK. I didn't bark though. They eat sea monsters in the water so you can't upset them. Me and Mom also made some Christmas Cards today. I got to help write what's on the card. Mom said I did a good job! Dad laughed when he saw what we had made. Mom says we can't send them out yet because we have to wait until after Turkey Day. I like Turkey Day. Mom and Dad make lots of food that day! We share it all too. Petey doesn't know what Turkey Day is so I had to tell him all about it. He likes turkey too he said. I told him about how Santa comes and brings really good frosted biscuits too on Christmas Day but since he's bad a lot he might not get any. Mom says Santa doesn't think any kitten can really be bad so she thinks he will probably get a treat. I don't know about that.

P.S. Petey Cat here. I don't know who this Santa guy is but FredDog says that you have to be really good for him to give you special treats. I'm a little worried about that. I do a lot of bad stuff by accident. Mom says Santa is pretty forgiving of kittens. I hope so! But is it really bad to smack the dog just because he might sit on me??? I've got a lot of thinking to do about this...ROARRRRRR.

Dear Terry, Did you hear the wind last night?? Me and Mom went outside and my ears blew straight up in the air! I could hear real good then! Oh and all the smells! And there were deer in the backyard! I told Petey all about it. I tried to tell Penny but all she wanted was her night time food. She didn't even kiss me! She must have been hungry. Oh and Dad and Pap went to the store together earlier today. My favorite store too, the Tractor Supply. Only I wasn't allowed to go. Mom had forgotten to buy my food! So I had no food in the morning but she made pretend food by putting Milk Bones in my dish for me until Dad could get the real stuff. Guess what flavor Pap picked out for me? FISH! YUMMY. I love Fish. Well, not when they are in the water becasue they look like sea monsters. But when they are in my bowl, they are tasty! That's why I like cat food! Oh and Mom gives me snibbles of salmon to eat sometimes too. What a good day!!

Dear Terry, Petey Cat sure is tricky! We were playing and he decided to play hide n seek. I chase him until he runs then he finds a good spot to hide in. And then he pops back out and we take off running again only he chases me. But this time he was really tricky. He ran behind the sofa and never came out! Where was Petey Cat?? Not even a meow meow. No tail. No feet. I ran to the side then to the other side. No Petey! Then I figured out how I could could go behind the couch, I was sure he was behind it. NO CAT. HUMPPH. I could smell him but I couldn"t see him. Where was he??? WOOO WOOOFFFWOOOFFFFFF. I howled. No Petey. Then something touched my foot and I flew backwards!! Hey that was his foot! It came from IN THE COUCH. how could this be??? So I jumped up on the couch and he got me with another foot through the cushions! I couldn't stop barking! We played and played then it went quiet. I waited and waited. maybe he got tired. After awhile I got tired so I slept right on that cushion. When I woke up Petey was sleeping right next to me. HEY! I can't figure out his trick yet but it sure was fun!

Dear Terry, Me and Petey Cat have been busy. Last night we had to help Mom find one of the remotes Dad lost again. Dad looses lots of stuff and Mom is always looking for things. I told Petey Cat we have to help Mom when she looks for stuff. This time she took the secret doors off the back of the recliner sofa. It's pretty neat, you pull the fabric and it makes a RIPPPPPPP sound and you can see what's in the secret place. Mom says that is the Velcro that makes that noise. I like to stick my head in there when it storms. And Petey uses the space to put all his toys. Mom said WOW! Look at all these toys! Petey said those are mine! We did find the remote. But not in the sofa. It was in Dad's slipper. I don't know why he puts things in crazy spots. Mom put the secret panel back and made sure to put Petey's toys back in there for safe keeping. Petey pulled back a corner to check and make sure everything was how he liked it. Oh and I helped Dad on the deck too. He was sweeping off the leaves. They were flying in the air and all over the place! What fun that was! Me and Petey woke Mom up this morning too. Bright and early! We didn't mean to, but the birds were right outside the window and me and Petey Cat were talking to them! Woof WOOF! ROARRRRRRR! It was very exciting! I better go help Mom get ready for the day!

Dear Terry, Me and Petey Cat got in some trouble. It was all his fault. He was sitting in Mom's lap!! He knows not to do that! Then he was poking me in the head and I kept jerking around to see what he was doing. Mom wasn't saying anything she was trying to relax and watch some TV. Then, I couldn't take it any more. He wasn't even trying to share Mom. He was hogging her WHOLE lap. I got a running start and jumped on Mom. Petey got squished like I wanted. And Mom got mad like I didn't want. FRED! PETEY! Petey went flying because I pushed him off Mom, and Dad said HEYYYYY!! And the recliner kind of tipped and I jumped down and sat on Mom's foot. That's what I have to do when I get in trouble. Sit. Mom says it's so I can get my head on straight and hear myself think again. WOOF WOOF. Stupid cat got me in trouble. Once Mom got all settled in again, I jumped up and licked her face to tell her I love you Mom. She let me sit there and petted and petted me until I fell asleep. Petey slept on the back of the chair nice and quiet. He didn't tease me at all after all that. And we didn't break anything this time either. Mom says we need a little more work on the sharing thing yet. I agree! Petey has to know that I come first then everything will be OK!
Love and Woofs, FredDog
P.S. Petey Cat here. That dumb dog nearly flattened me jumping up on Mom like that. I'll get him back for that. He can't stand it when I sit in his food bowl. Mom says it's not nice to say Dumb Dog but I don't know any bad words yet.....Mom likes me best, it's time he figures that out.....ROARRRRRRR!!

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!

Dear Terry, Boy Petey Cat sure can run. He runs past me and over me and under me and all around me. I bark. He still doesn't understand that Mom is mine. I sit next to her. And I sit on him when he tries to sit next to Mom. But he is pretty nice when he lays down next to me. This morning he snuggled in right next to me in the covers! He didn't bite my tail, He didn't poke me in the face with his paw. He was purring though! It's like magic when he does that. I can't purr, It comes out a growl. He won't tell me how it does it either. Mom says that's one of his special powers. He has a lot of those. Mom says let's be thankful he uses his powers for good and not bad!

Dear Terry, Petey and I had a sleepover. Mom let us run free in the house all night long. Well, not all night. Part of the night because things got a little out of hand. First we played and played. Then Mom went to bed. We had to decide who was going to sleep where. I got all settled in my usual spot next to Mom and Petey wanted there too. He started pawing at me and reaching for my eyes. I moved. Then he picked another spot altogether!! I barked right in his face. It took us a bit, but we finally all got settled in some good spots on the bed and Mom got out some treats for me and Petey. I showed Petey how I do my tricks and get a treat. I think he is catching on. Then we all went to sleep watching TV. Afterwhile Petey woke up and started playing with my tail and then my feet. And then my ears. And my nose. Wap wap wap. I woke up and he was standing on me and we started to play. I said we can't wake Mom up but we kind of forgot and started rolling in the covers because that's so much fun! Pretty soon Mom woke up because she had no covers on! We had ripped them all off the bed and some of the pillows were on the floor and somehow my food dish was knocked over. Oh boy. Mom had to get up in the middle of the night and fix everything. She shooed Petey out of the bedroom and told me to go lay down. Everything was OK though in the morning! And we didn't break anything that time.

Dear Terry, The other night Mom took me outside and I started growling and growling and barking. I had to protect Mom!! There was SOMETHING in the neighbor's yard. And it was moving! GRRRRRRR I almost ripped the leash out of her hand. I dragged her over to it and...Oh, it was a big leaf! Ooops! Woof Woof!
Last night Petey and I were running around trying to play. But he was being mean again and sat in my spot on the couch. I was able to bark in his face and make him move a little bit. But when he sat down next to Mom on the other couch No Way. That is MY SPOT. I tried to nose him out of the way. I poked him with my paw to move him. He wasn't budging. I jumped up and barked. Still didn't move. So I sat on him. That's right I sat on him. That showed him! Only he wriggled out from under my butt and head butted me. I did get my spot next to Mom though and we all watched TV together with Dad. Mom says to be careful sitting on Petey because he may not be so nice next time around!
So if anyone is bothering you Terry, I say sit on them. It works! Woof!

So if anyone is bothering you Terry, I say sit on them. It works! Woof!

Dear Terry, Boy I was so tired yesterday that I didn't even eat my food. Me and Mom went for a walk in the cold windy air. I love it when it's like that outside. We saw lots of things at the park and we lost all track of time and when we got home Dad said THERE you are! I barked to let him know I was right there at his feet! Dad said the apple cider was finished. Mom had made that from scratch. I was right there when she was cutting up the apples. The whole house smelled like them. Mom and Dad sat down and had some to warm up. Then Dad let Petey out so I could play with him. We played and played. We still aren't allowed to be alone together. Mom says she wants the house to stay standing. Tonight I'm going to teach Petey how the couches are mine but maybe if he asks me I will let him sit with me. We did watch TV together last night. And for a little while we looked out the front window together because we both heard a sound. But then Petey sat in my seat again. I stood there and just barked at him and he didn't even move! All he did was grow tall and swat at my nose. So I barked some more. WOOF WOOF. He never did move. I had to go lay down on the floor. Humph. Then me and Mom went to bed to sleep and before I knew it, it was morning! How did that happen??? What a good day it was!
Hope you had a good barking day!

Dear Terry, Guess what me and Petey have been doing? Playing! Well I play, he tries to figure out what I'm doing. No one has lost any eyes. Last night, I even licked him on the head some so he would know that I was only playing. Mom said, Fred are you being nice or are you tasting testing??? Petey started being mean though last night. Mom said he had enough of Fred Play. First he laid down in My Spot on the couch. I chased him out of there. Then he went to my Other Spot on the couch right next to Mom. I really didn't like that. He was doing it on purpose. I could tell. When I tried to chase him out of there he sat up reallllly talll and reached out and slowly swiped at my nose. I jumped back at least 10 feet. WHEW! He didn't have his claws out. Mom said that was a warning. Petey wasn't hissing or growling. But I got the message, Tall Petey means get away doggie! I wonder how he can make himself so tall like that. I wish sometimes I was tall. I could reach things on the counter. Or maybe see outside better. Mom says I'm just the right size and don't worry about it because cats have special powers like that. Oh and guess what else?? I saw snow today out the front window and I barked and barked at it. I don't know why I bark when it snows but I do.

Dear Terry, Today was my favorite kind of a day. Sunny and cloudy all at once, good breeze and nice and cool. All day long Mom worked outside in the yard. I would bark to her so she would know I was still waiting. Mom kept telling me, we are going! Soon, Fred, Soon. Soon seemed like forever!! But then Mom grabbed the leash and said C'mon let's go! And we went! All the way to the Nature Park. The leaves were blowing all around in the air. People and other dogs were there. The trails were just right for me and Mom to walk on. We went clear to the top on one of the easy trails so Mom's knee wouldn't hurt too much. Way, way up we went and I stopped and smelled all the big leaf piles and Mom let me dig in them and throw them all around in the wind! There was even a lady who used the bathroom! Mom warned her though so I couldn't scare the beegeesus out of her coming out of there. Woof! She still jumped a little. Woof Woof! What a great day!!

Dear Terry, I thought today was going to be exciting. It was, right up until we got to the VET. I was so excited to go for a car ride. I should have known when Mom said you have to be good. We didn't turn to go to the park. We turned the other way. I let Mom know in no uncertain terms that I KNEW what she was up to! Mom said, FRED that's my ear you are barking in! HUMPPPH. I'm really good in the waiting room. Mom tells me to sit and I sit while we wait our turn. I'm not so good afterwards so Mom always pays first. I had to get my butt cleaned and a special pill so I don't get the Kennel Cough. Sometimes I can't go with Mom and Dad on trips so I have to sleepover at the Pet Hotel. It's not so bad there. I can run and play with other dogs my own size and Mom takes my bed and Spot for me. Spot keeps me company so I don't feel so alone. Spot has been my pal for a long time. Mom says that she isn't taking any trips for awhile, so don't worry. When we got home I told Dad all about how Mom tricked me and he was so upset he gave me a treat! He said I can't believe Mom did that! Have a bacon treat! WOOF! I can always count on Dad!
Oh and I've been trying to get Petey to play with me. Mom says it's been a disaster and I need to tone it down. But this morning when I said Good Morning Petey Cat and gave him a nudge he flopped over and played a little bit with me. I accidentally made him run away to the basement last night. I might have barked in his face. Stuff went flying all over the place. I didn't know that my food could fly so high in the air!

Dear Terry, Last night I tried to be good. I did. Me and Mom were sitting on the cough watching baseball and here comes Petey Cat. I rolled my eyes. Mom said settle down there Fred, let's have a quiet evening. Petey walked all over the couch, all over me and my tail and my feet. He head butted me, Mom and Dad. He ran through the house. He went in the big picture window. My window. He fell off the window sill. He started to climb the drapes. And I was good. I sat right next to Mom. Every so often Petey would come and give me a head butt and then off he went. We thought he was calming down when he sat on the arm of the couch, right next to me. Only he was being a stinker as Mom says. He would reach out with one foot and TOUCH ME on the nose or ear. Then he would pretend he didn't. On and On he kept doing it. Mom would look over and Petey would stop. I snapped. I pushed him hard with my nose and snapped at his tail. FRED! PETEY! Mom says Petey is an instigator. I don't know what that is, but I think it might mean Get Fred In Trouble. I went to bed. No more getting in trouble that way!

Dear Terry, I'm all mixed up. Mom's schedule changed again. She leaves later and comes home later. I don't like it. She gets home and it's dark out now!! How are we supposed to go for walks? Dad says that I've been Mopey Dog. He said that means I lay around and feel sorry for myself and I don't do much. So Dad decided to fix that. He told me today is Fred Day. Well, that might be exciting. What do you do on Fred Day? Oh you can play ball, go out on deck with me, we can walk around the yard looking for walnuts, make some snacks. OOOOO this sounds like it could be really fun! Dad said I might even get some Pepperoni!! I like Pepperoni! He said we will have so much fun that time will fly and Mom will be home before I know it today! I told Petey Cat all about it. He head butted me. That means he thinks it's a good idea! He said maybe then I would quit fake jumping at him to see if he will fluff up. I've learned Petey Cat doesn't really fluff up to much around me, instead he strikes without warning. Sometimes he gives me the Stink Eye. But don't worry! I'm fast and we have made it into a sort of game. Mom says I'm going to lose an eye yet.

Dear Terry, I've been busy again. Me and Dad had a pizza party the other day. Just me and him and pizza! It was cold and rainy so he said pizza would cheer us right up. And it did!! I told Pizza Man how great it was that he brought us pizza! The other thing I've been doing is being friends with Petey. Mom and Dad pretty much let him run all around the place now. I'm still not so good sometimes so Mom or Dad kindof keeps an eye on me. Kindof. They should keep more of an eye on Petey. He's really bad. Last night I wanted to snuggle in with Mom but Petey beat me to it. I still don't share too good. Neither does Petey. But at least we can kindof share things now. I usually let him win. That's what Newton said to do, let the Cats win. He wins the front door, the food bowls, the tv, the blanket, even my bed!!! He's big now and he's very strong. I still have both my eyes though. Petey still has his tail. We are becoming friends!!!

September 27, 2015 The Fish Story
Dear Terry, Yesterday me and Mom has the BEST walk ever! We walked again today, but it wasn't nearly as exciting as yesterday! First there was a big Malamute that came running out of the woods and right up to me! He was pretty furry but very friendly. I howled because I was so excited. Then we went into the woods and there was a big tree down across the trail. Mom said come on Fred! We can jump it and Mom and me got a running start and Mom jumped and I stayed on the other side. Mom almost fell down. GEEZ Fred!! Sometimes I'm not so good at jumping. Mom said C'mon! and she made the leash really loose and I jumped and I made it over!!! I barked because it was so exciting! Then we went all the way back the trail and back down again and this time I jumped the tree like it was nothing! Yay Freddie! Mom said. We went back to the parking lot and there was a lady walking with a stroller and a tiny human. I used to be scared of strollers. I walked right on by it no problems! Now here is the really exciting part. Me and Mom decided to walk on the far side of the pond on the Jumping Bass Trail. That's a fish you know. Fish are like sea monsters to me when they come to the side of the pond and stick their heads up. Me and Mom were walking and I smelled a smell. Pretty soon I found what I was smelling. I dropped to the ground and started rolling and Mom said EWWWWW what is THAT SMELL?? WHAT are you rolling in??? I found a dead fish right on the bank and I rolled on it!! Mom was not nearly as excited about it as I was!! I kept on rolling and smashing the fish into the ground and the smell was great! STOP ALREADY!!! Mom did you say something?? I kept on rolling WOOF! I went to pick it up to take it with us and Mom said LEAVE IT. The smell will come with you. And she was right I could smell it the whole way back to the car! What a walk we had!!
You should get Newton a dead fish to roll in, tell him he can't imagine the fun it is!

Dear Terry, Mom got me an ice cream cone the other night and she forgot to make it a kiddy cone. I can't eat the people cones because it is so much ice cream I explode. I exploded. Mom had to scrub the carpet and everything. Dad helped with the paper towels. I laid down until I felt better. Mom felt bad because she didn't get the little ice cream for me and I got sick. But I felt OK yesterday and today I can eat like normal again! In fact, I felt so good today that I chased Petey Cat. He was in my spot at the front door. Then he was in my spot on the back of the couch. Then I chased him. Mom warned me that Petey Cat will put my eye out. I keep forgetting that.
Mom has lots of stuff planned for us today. She wants me to play outside on the deck while her and Dad do some painting on the house. I play look out for anything that might be sketchy. Like a spider or something. Or a leaf blowing in the yard. I bark at the Ravens for sure though. Mean birds.
Hope you have a good Fall Day!

Dear Terry, Today is the first day of Fall! Me and Mom love Fall. The leaves fall down from the trees. We always find Dad the biggest leaf in the park and take it home to show him. Me and Mom also walk though the backyard and I sniff out the Walnuts and Acorns for her. I'm real good at finding them. When I find one, I push it with my nose and look up at Mom and she picks them up and puts them in her pockets. One year we found lots and lots of Walnuts and they filled up a whole big jar. I get big pets on the head for finding them. Another thing I like about Fall is that the nights are nice and cold and I get to sleep under the blankets. Mom and Dad sometimes hog the blankets so I paw at them until they wake up and get me under the covers! I can put the blanket on myself too. All I have to do is pull the blanket right off Mom and over my head. You can't pull the blankets off Dad. He holds on to them pretty good. Last night , Mom tried to get the blanket back from me and we had a tug of war. I won. Mom sighed. Woof woof!!!

Dear Terry,
Petey got in some trouble last night. I didn't, only Petey. Petey took Dad's wallet again. Last time he scattered everything all around the living room and Dad couldn't find his important stuff. Dad has a hard enough time finding things. This time Mom caught Petey in the act! PETEY!!!! but Petey didn't listen. He can be good at ignoring Mom. That's not a good idea. Then Dad said PETEY! Petey only flicked an ear at him. Oh boy. Mom got up and tried to take the wallet from him and he clawed her hand!!How come cats get to do that and when I do it, it's the end of the world. And I don't even do it on purpose when I scratch someone. Mom yelled at him, PETEY CAT and she scooped him and the wallet up and she put Petey on her sholder and the wallet in a safe spot. Petey Cat said MEOW! Mom said to Dad you better find someting else for him to play with. Dad got out the cat fishing pole with the talking mouse on the end. It drives me nuts so I bark. Me and Mom laid down in bed and Dad and Petey played and played and played. Mom said that's all Petey wanted to do when he took the wallet. I better go help Mom get ready for work.

P.S. Did you read how I wasn't in trouble!!!! That's right I was the GOOD ONE. WOOF!

Dear Terry, Yesterday, Me and Dad and Mom all went for a ride in the car. First we stopped and got some breakfast at the Burger Palace. Mom gave me bits n pieces. Then Dad said , Hey I have an idea! He said, Let's go to the Puppy Park!! The Puppy Park oh my GOSH. It's been FOREVER since I was there! Mom took us right away. I was barking already. I thought I might pee in the car I was so excited, but I didn't. When we got there, there was a dog just my size already running around and I joined him. We barked and ran all around and pretended to be tough dogs then run all around again. I got pretty hot. Mom got me a big drink of water to cool off. Oh boy did I have fun!! Dad had a good time too watching me run all around. Oh and Petey came into the bedroom again while I was trying to sleep. He kindof scared me so I went to the side of the bed. He head butted me and then bounded back out of the room. That's what he does, checks up on me and then goes and plays.
If you need to relax, Take a run at the Puppy Park! Don't forget the water though

Dear Terry, Whew! My dogs are still barking! Woof get it? Me and Mom went for a big walk last night and I'm still pooped out. We walked all over the park and I looked at everything and smelled everything that I could. I slept all last night and Mom had to wake me up this morning. I was really tired! Me and Dad napped all day long too. I don't even want to play ball tonight. But I did help make some ice cream for Pap. He likes ice cream. I wasn't allowed to lick any spoons though because it wasn't vanilla. Mom said she would make some vanilla just for me next time. Dad tried Pap's ice cream and said it was YUMMY! Oh and last night, Petey came in to see me while I was sleeping. Mom told him you should always let sleeping dogs lie, but you know Petey, he will try anything once. I heard him jump up real soft on the bed. Then he saw I had one eye open and he started to purr and head butt me and roll all around in the sheets. I was too tired to move. That seemed ok with Petey Cat though. Afterwhile, he jumped back off the bed and went to find out where Dad was sleeping and curled up with him. I'm still real careful around Petey, like Newton told me to be, because I don't want to lose an eye. Or an Ear. Or my nose. Or even my tail!

Dear Terry, Me and Petey are getting along pretty good. Mom even leaves us alone in the same room sometimes! Each morning we both help her pick out clothes. Then Petey headbutts me. After that we help Mom get the food bowls all sorted out and ready to go. And we help make the bed. Well, we do that if Petey isn't rolling around in the sheets and blankets. Oh boy did he get in big trouble the other day. He was walking on top of the shower curtain rod. It's all bent now. The shower curtain is all ripped up too because he was playing with that also. I better go! Me and Dad see Mom off to work each day!

Dear Terry, Guess what yesterday was??? Dad declared it Hot Dog Day! I like Hot Dog Day! We ate hot dogs from the grill. We had some for breakfast. We had some for lunch. Even dinner. Sometimes I got to eat pieces with bread, sometimes pieces with a little bit of ketchup on it. Dad said Hot Dog Day was a success! Dad said maybe we could do it again today only with Brats! Oh boy!!! Mom said I'm not supposed to eat so many hot dogs and brats. Party Pooper Mom! But I noticed she put a hot dog in her lunch bag! HEYYYY!!! Mom laughed and said she had missed out on Hot Dog Day.
Hope you have a good Day Terry!

Dear Terry, I had a big scary the other day! Me and Mom went to the park for a walk Friday. Only Mom didn't check the Weather Rock like she always does. And when we got there I was nosing around smelling stuff when I heard it. THUNDER. I was in a panic! Good thing Mom was there! She sat down in the grass with me and covered my ears until I could think straight. My heart was pounding. We ran back to the car and Mom said we had better get home Fred! But it never stormed. It only thundered. It was still scary to me. Mom was really sorry she didn't check the Weather Rock before we left and promised that wouldn't happen again. Guess what we are doing today!? Dad said we are going to fire up the Burger Machine and make some Meat! I like Meat! And we are going to have the ice cream Mom made too! I like Ice Cream too!! Dad said he was going to make some more cookies. What a good Day it's going to be! Meat, Ice Cream and Cookies!!!

Dear Terry, I got in big trouble last night. So much trouble Mom made me Sit AND Stay all at once. I pushed Petey and then I chased him and Mom yelled at me. I should have listened to Petey. He kept telling me Don't chase me Doggie. But he trotted on ahead of me into the kitchen with that crazy tail of his waving all in my face and I forgot to be good. Then Mom forgot she told me to stay and she came back in the room a little bit later after she had gotten Petey his food, and I was still sitting there trying to be good. It wasn't all that long but when I'm in trouble it seems like a long time. Mom gave me pets and everything was OK again! This morning when Petey came in to say Good Morning Doggie!! He jumped on the bed like he always does and started rolling around in the covers for fun. I jumped up too because it looked like fun. And we rolled around together and got to be all silly! Even Mom was laughing! I got lots of pets for being a good dog! Petey got lots of pets for being a good cat! It was a good morning!

Dear Terry, Boy today was hot! Me and Dad stayed inside all day long. We went out once so I could pee but I hurried Dad right back inside. He doesn't do so good in the heat. Me and Mom didn't even go for a walk. When she got home we walked around the backyard and I rolled around in the grass and then I got hot so we came back inside. Lucky for me she brought ICE CREAM again! I got to have my little bit of vanilla. I don't usually get so much ice cream, but Mom said since it was so hot and sticky , it seemed like a good night for it. I agreed! I gobbled it all down. I thought Mom would give me some of hers. I was wrong! That's ok, it was a good way to cool off!
Guess what Petey did this morning when he came in to say Helloooo Doggieeee!?? He stood up and put his front feet on each of my ears and cleaned my whole head. Ears, nose, eyes, sides and right smack on my mouth. I held really still becasue I wasn't sure WHAT was going on. And you know he has claws on those feet of his. He was purring the whole time he was cleaning me off. I didn't think I was that dirty but he told me I was and that Cat Clean was the only clean there is. Petey is really big now and I don't want to mess with him so much any more. Mom told me I did really good! Not too many dogs go for a whole face wash like that but she said that was great I held still for it and didn't scare him. I think so too becasue I didn't lose any of my eyes or ears!

Dear Terry, Friday night Dad made us a big spaghetti dinner! He made sauce and noodles and biscuits. I like biscuits dipped in sauce. And Mom ran to the Hamburer Palace and brought home ice cream! Vanilla of course. She crunched it all up for me and put in my ice cream bowl. What a night!! It was all so yummy. I got little snibbles of biscuit and sauce. Then the ice cream. Boy did I sleep good! Yesterday, me and Mom waited until late in the day when it was cooler, and we went to the park. Guess what we found? A fall leaf for Dad. Mom took it home to show him that Fall was coming. Mom says that's your favorite season too. I like it when it's a little bit chilly. I can walk for miles and miles then in the woods! Mom got you a house warming gift. I barked at it because it was looking at me. I'm not allowed to say anything more about it. This week Mom says it's going to be really hot so we might not get a chance to walk as much as we want. Maybe Mom will take me in the yard at night and we can do a nighttime walk looking for critters!

Dear Terry, Me and Mom have been busy! Dad too! Mom and Dad have been doing stuff in the morning before Mom goes to work. Yard stuff. Then Mom does stuff when she gets home and then we all sit down and watch baseball! Dad made grilled cheese last night and we had tomato soup to go with it! I don't get to eat the soup part but Mom gives me pieces of grilled cheese to eat. Yummy! Dad gives me a few pieces of his too. Sometimes the cheese squishes out and I get it on my face and Mom laughs. Me and Petey have been playing some in the mornings. We always say Hellloooooo first though. Petey zooms in and runs right up to me now. I don't chase him or anything. Well, I did when he pulled my whiskers. That wasn't very nice and Mom agreed! Petey likes to try and catch my tail. Or he likes to play with my feet. That took some getting used to because I don't like anyone touching my feet. Mom says that so far the house is standing, drapes are still hanging up and no lamps have been broken recently. Dad says that's a good thing!

Dear Terry, I tried to get Petey to play with me this morning. It didn't work out so good. I scared him. Mom says that I need to turn the energy level down a bit. Dial it back. Chill Out. I didn't know what she meant so I just looked at her. Mom finally said Easy, Go Easy. Oh! That I know. That means slow down and calm down. I did that and Petey came back to head butt me! I did get him to play a little bit then. Mom says when I jump in a cat's face and scare him, I could end up with a face of claws again. I don't want that. Once is ENOUGH! It's kind of nice having another friend and I don't want to mess it up. Or lose an eye.
Hope you have a good day!

Dear Terry, Me and Mom didn't get much sleep last night because of all the storms. It kept thundering. Mom let me get under the covers with her and I hid my head under the pillow. Mom stayed awake with me the whole time to make sure I was OK. That helps a lot. Dad didn't help at all! He slept through EVERYTHING! Guess what Mom and Dad are doing today? Canning! First Dad is going to clean off the corn cobs. Mom is going to freeze all the corn. Then Dad is going to wash up all the tomatoes and the peppers. Did Mom tell you Petey nibbled on a pepper from the garden a little while ago and got the poops for 2 days??? Mom is going to put the tomatoes and the peppers all in jars so we can have for later on in the year. I like tomato sauce. That's what goes on pizza you know. I like pizza. Mom and Dad are going to make tomato soup too today. You know what you put in tomato soup? Grilled Cheese that's what! I like grilled cheese! It's going to be a good food day!

Dear Terry, What a day yesterday! It was Cook Out Day here! Dad fired up the Hamburger Machine and friends John and MaryAnn came over. I barked a lot. I was so excited we had company and they brought food and Dad was making hamburgers and hotdogs and brats. Oh my gosh there was so much going on!! So I barked some more! I barked a lot. Should I greet the friends or should I help Dad at the Burger Machine? What was Mom doing? Guess what Mom did for me?? She made me a little burger of my own for Dad to put on the Burger Machine. I didn't have to share it or anything! MaryAnn gave me some hamburger bun and John gave me some blueberry treat. Mom let me have a cheesy potato. We watched baseball. Dad was so happy. Dad likes baseball and friends. He told me that was the best way to watch baseball - have a cookout with your friends and watch baseball. I was so pooped out I slept right though the night and Mom had to wake me up in the morning to go outside. I stretcchhhhhheddddd and grumbled and put my head under the pillow. Cook Out Day was exhausting! Mom says you will have to come over and we can do the same for you! I like having Friends! What a great day! Thank you John and MaryAnn! Woof!

Dear Terry, Petey Cat pulled my tail this morning and he nipped me and he ran all around me. Mom said he was trying to get me to play. But I just stood there. I didn't want to get clawed. Instead what I got was my tail pulled and then he nipped my tail!! If I did that, it would mean Big Trouble for FredDog. Mom said it's ok to play a little bit with Petey. Only a little bit because I tend to get pretty excited about stuff. Mom doesn't want her house wrecked. Penny Cat has never pulled my tail. Now I see why Mom says PennyCat is the Good One. Dad says today is Cleaning Day and I get to help! Woof! I like helping. Plus, Dad gives lots more treats to his helpers then Mom does. Like Cheesy Puffs. I like those!

Dear Terry, I'm glad you liked my movie. Petey and I say Hello every single morning now. This morning I was especailly good and Mom left us alone to start the day. Petey head butted me and head butted some more. He jumped on the bed and instead of putting my eye out when I went to see what he was doing, he head butted me again! I'm still real careful around his feet. I don't like his claws. Oh and does Newt still stink? Mom says that's why we stay away from Mister Skunk. I hope I can remember that if we see him again. Newton really gives me good advice! No Skunks and Watch Your Eyes. Mom and Dad made stuffed banana peppers last night. They were filled with sausage. I wasn't allowed to have any. Not even the sausage! Mom said I would get sick and she didn't want that so I got a meat stick snack to eat! Yum!

Dear Terry, Guess what we did yesterday! We went for a drive to go see Tomato Lady. We didn't get tomatoes though. We got CORN and Peppers! I like Corn! Dad's going to do it up on the grill and Mom will put it in bags and freeze it so we can eat it anytime we want! Me and Petey have been getting along really good. I'm still really careful around those claws of his. They can hurt. Every morning Petey comes and says Good Morning Fred! And I wag my tail and hold real still while he wraps all around me. Some times I follow him up on the bed. But mostly we just say Hi and smell each other. Oh and yesterday too, Mom made us a homemade pizza! it had chicken on there and bbq sauce and everything. I got to eat some of the crust and Mom gave me snibbles of chicken to snack on. Mom's been busy. She's been painting outside. I try and watch from the window. She's working on the garage. She almost fell off the ladder because a spider dropped on her head and she had a small freak out moment.

Dear Terry, I am Petey Cat. Mom told me I had to get along with Fred Dog. No chasing the dog. No making him crazy on purpose and then letting him take the blame for the aftermath. Mom is taking all my fun away. But I have been trying. Sometimes Fred Dog is good company. Every morning I jump the gate and say Hello FredDog! I head butt him and walk all around him and head butt him some more. This morning he was being extra special nice so I head butted him and I walked under him and all around him and head butted him some more. You know what he did? He pushed me with his nose! Like he does to his favorite people when he checks on them. Like Dad. I purred for Fred and we sat quietly next to each other for a few minutes. Then I had things to do. Like takeover the living room. I jumped on top of the TV and played like I was the Lion King looking out over the kingdom. ROARRRRRR! Oh and then I pushed the gate over on Fred. Mom said PETEY that was on purpose! and I ran really fast like I see the cheetahs do on TV. I can't be good all the time now can I?
ROARRRRRR! Petey.
P.S. It's me Fred. Mom said sometimes I have to let Petey Cat write some stuff. I am supposed to make him feel like he is part of the family. So in the morning I let him come in the bedroom and don't make a fuss because then Mom gets upset. Sometimes he is pretty good company. I nose pushed him this mornig to let him know I can be his friend. Mom really liked that. I got lots of pets for being so good. Petey Cat said it's no fun being Good! You should do something bad once in awhile Fred! I try real hard not to be bad. I told Petey he should try too. Me and Dad had fun today. Dad lined up some snacks for me and he made blueberry muffins and I got a big bite of one! YUMMY!

Dear Terry, Last night we stayed up really late. Mom was waiting to hear about the Strike. No Strike for now! Mom and Dad were pretty happy about that. I wasn't, because all the extra time I was going to get with Mom isn't going to happen. I was pretty sad until Mom and me went to go to sleep and we had Lazy Dog Snacks. I like Lazy Dog Snacks. You know what I have to do to get them? Almost nothing! I lay down nice next to Mom and all I have to do is something cute and ta da! I get a Snack! We all were pretty tired, except of course, Petey. He was running all around being Petey Crazy even though it was really late at night. Petey got in trouble last night. And the night before! He's been picking on Penny Cat and we allllll know you don't do that. Mom actually yelled at him and everything. Boy was she mad. Dad was mad too. Penny Cat is real special, I told Petey, and you can never be mean to her or make her fluffy. To get Petey back on track Mom took out the Box. And sure enough, Petey Cat turned his attention to it and was playing with his toys in the Box. Things finally quieted down and we could all sleep. Maybe if things get crazy for you, Mom can give you the Box and you can sit down and have fun. I don't get it, but it sure helps Petey!

Dear Terry, Last night we stayed up really late. Mom was waiting to hear about the Strike. No Strike for now! Mom and Dad were pretty happy about that. I wasn't, because all the extra time I was going to get with Mom isn't going to happen. I was pretty sad until Mom and me went to go to sleep and we had Lazy Dog Snacks. I like Lazy Dog Snacks.

Dear Terry, My ear hurts. Mom took me to the VET this morning to get it all fixed up. The Vet said I don't have an ear infection. I have The Allergies. Like that rash I had. Mom made The Allergies go away that time too. I have to get drops in my ear though. I don't like that part. Mom says it will make my ear less itchy and scratchy. Mom said I did really good this time too. I didn't even bark. And I rode up and down on the table like an elevator! I hope all this makes The Allergies go away.
Mom's been real worried lately because of the Strike. Mom finds out tonight about that. Mom says that means she won't be going to work if the Strike happens. Well, that doesn't sound too bad to me. Mom would be home all the time then! We could go for walks, eat Snacks together, sit out on the deck and watch the yard, we could have a pizza party. Mom says all that would be fun but it's important to work so that we still have a yard to play in and look at from the deck! Mom says Strike is like The Allergies, it makes you really uncomfortable for awhile but then it goes away. Maybe Mom could get Strike medicine like the drops I have to get in my ears. That would fix things right up!
The sun is shining today Terry, Mom said she is going to take me for a walk later on this afternoon! I can't wait!
