Dear Terry, Petey got in trouble today. Dad took him and Penny Cat outside on the deck this morning. Petey walked right off the deck, down the steps and along the cat ledge. He could have fallen into the grass! Mom heard Dad say PEEETTTTEEY, get back here. She went to see and there was Petey. She was real calm. Dad was so worried! Mom said, hey Petey, come here. And he came right to her! Mom said the ledge is part of the house and it's only 2 feet from ground at most. Dad said it was still scary. Dad said Petey saw another cat. He could have been in a fight!! It was scary! We all worry about Petey because he doesn't have a lick of sense in him. Oh and me and Mom took a walk in the woods. She let me chase a squirrel up a tree! I stood up against the tree and howled so everyone would know the squirrel was in the tree! Woooooo woooooo woooooo! It was really hot and we pooped out and went back to the car early. Mom brought ice water with us and we both had a big drink in the car with the cold air blowing on us. Whew!

Dear Terry, Me and Petey got in BIG trouble today. Really BIG trouble. Mom took Dad to the eye doctor this morning. She did a bunch of stuff around the house when they got back and then she pooped out. She laid down and took a nap. Well, for a little while she took a nap. Me and Petey ruined it and woke her up by accident. Only Petey did it on purpose. I KNOW how that cat is!! It is ALL his fault! He ambushed me at the water bowl next to the bed. And we ended up fighting. I pulled out his fur and he scratched me in the eye and I was barking and snarling and Petey was hissing and screeching and the water bowl went flying and Mom jumped up awake and she yelled at us. She made both of us come and sit down in front of her. Only I couldn't see so good because MY EYE WAS PUT OUT. Mom assured me I still had an eye and she made sure I had no scratches on it. It really hurt. She cleaned the slobber off of Petey and made sure I hadn't bitten him. I didn't, all I did was pull out some fur. Mom knows it was me becasue the fur was stuck on my claw. Once Mom knew we were both OK we were allowed to leave. I jumped up on the bed and stayed with Mom. I didn't mean to ruin her nap. Petey came by again and he head butted me under the chin and I knew we were friends again. Petey purred a lot for Mom and we all calmed down. In fact, me and Mom went for a run in the park. At first Mom didn't want to run. She was still tired and it was late afternoon. I got her to run though! First I would walk real slow until I was behind her and then run up and try and get her to run. FINALLY she said ok ok let's run! Off we went! We ran a long time. When we got tired we slowed down and then I was too tired to go on so I sat down. Mom said, FRED, I can't carry you! Then I realized OH there's the car! and Mom gave me a good drink of water. Whew! What a day!!

Dear Terry, It's me Petey. I had to help FredDog today. He thought he was all alone in the house. It started to rain and then we heard thunder. My friend hit the panic button and started to bark his storm bark and I knew he wasn't going to get through this one without my help. I ran right to him and at the same time we heard Mom call Fred!! come here!! And he ran right to her and I was right behind him. Fred was hiding under the desk on the floor. I laid down next to him and purred and purred until the storm was over and his heart wasn't beating so loud. Mom never saw me do that before. I usually run window to window watching the storm. Sometimes Fred needs help. Today was one of those days. Once the storm passed we ran all through the house together. We banged into the garbage can but that's OK! It didn't tip over this time!
ROARRRRRR!!

Dear Terry, What a night! First Mom came home from work! Petey MEOWED and I barked and Penny Cat said Meow Meow. Then we ate PIZZA! We love Pizza Parties! Me and Mom checked on the chickens and it seemed like this was going to be a quiet night UNTIL Dad went out on the deck and Petey escaped and Penny Cat escaped! And Dad said OH NOOOO!!! Me and Mom came running but something was THUMP THUMP THUMPING. Mom said, What is that???? She looked around and then, just as Dad came back inside, one of the ceiling fan blades FLEW across the room and I ran, Mom ducked, Dad said OH NOOOOOO!!!! It landed with a clunk on the floor. Mom hurried up and turned the fan off. Everyone was OK. Then her and Dad remembered CATS!!! They hurried out to the deck and sure enough there they were hiding under the grill cover! They got Petey and Penny Cat right back inside. NOW everyone was safe. Petey tried to help Mom on the chair while she fixed the fan. Dad had to keep shooing him away. Me and Penny Cat are afraid to go back in the kitchen. What if it happens again??? It was pretty scary. Mom can really duck fast when she has too!
I hope you have a nice quiet night!

Dear Terry, I learned a new trick. I can count 5 and I can count 10. Mom says I have my own special way of counting. First I sit down and then Mom asks me a math question. Sometimes she says what's 4 plus 1?? and I hold my foot up! That's right she says! FIVE! And I get a treat! Fred, What's 12 minus 7?? and I hold my foot up! That's right she says! FIVE! Dad tries to trick me, he asks, Fred, What's 5 times 1?? But I know!!! I hold my foot up!! That's RIGHT! FIVE!!! But me and Mom always save the best for last. She asks me, Fred, What's 5 plus 5??? I hold up both feet!! That's right!! TEN!!! When we first showed Dad how I could count 5, he was all confused. Then he caught on. He said OHHHHH I see 5 claws on Fred's feet! Give me FIVE! Then he laughed and laughed! He said maybe one day I could learn the other numbers but Five is a good place to start!
Mom said she is going to try and teach me another Helper Job. Aunt Laura saw on TV how a shelter dog like me learned how to smell low blood sugar. He wanted to be a Helper Dog to his family. So he learned how to smell low blood sugar like it was a trick. Mom looked up how to teach me. I can learn anything. I don't know what low blood sugar is but if I can help Dad, I can learn it really fast. I have tricks that I do and then I have Helper Dog Jobs. I can turn on the battery lights for Dad. I let him know when he's going to get one of the bad headaches. I help when he gets confused about which room to go to and when he gets anxious. I'm a real good smeller. I KNOW I can learn how to smell low blood sugar. Helper Dog Jobs are things I do because I want to help Dad. I don't get any treats but I get lots of pets on the head! Tricks are when we are having fun and I get a treat. Mom said she has to get some supplies to help me learn but I am going to start learning real soon.
Hope you have a good night!

Dear Terry, Today was all rainy and yucky. But Dad had an idea for some indoor fun! He said we are going to have a Cleaning Party! I said what's that Dad??? First we picked up everything off the floor and we found my bone! Then we vacuumed! It's a really scary machine so I ran through the house with Petey, barking and woofing the whole time! Scary and FUN! Then Dad had to broom the kitchen floor. Oh my gosh! Petey chases the special kitchen floor broom. I barked some more because it was all too crazy! All that barking made me have to pee so Dad took me outside in the rain. We hurried back in for more fun! Mom was coming home!! I helped him make some coffee so she could warm up. Last time Dad made coffee he dropped the can and smashed some eggs!!! This time it went off without a hitch. WHEW! Oh and we took a nap in there somewhere. FINALLY, Mom came home so me and Petey ran around even more!! Mom took me out in the rain and we checked on the chickens. Marge and Lisa were under cover of the rain. I helped Mom give them some food. Then we trotted through the rain and came back inside and now we are nice and snuggly warm. I'm going to work on chewing down that bone. OH I forgot the most exciting thing today! Mom was getting ready for work this morning after our morning walk and she found a TICK stuck to her arm! DADDDDDDDDDD DADDDDDDDD! OH MY GOSH, Mom's not supposed to have those things stick to her!! Dad came as fast as he could. He helped her pull the tick off. We don't like bugs. Maybe Mom should wear a flea and tick collar like me. She's OK don't worry!

Dear Terry, I had a bad bad day yesterday. First, me and Mom went for our morning walk around the yard. But when we were in the driveway, I stepped on something that wriggled and squished and I jumped back super high up in the air and Mom jumped back and said a bad word really loud. I had stepped on a SNAKE!! It was HUGE. Mom hurried up and got a good look at it. She wasn't sure if I had gotten bitten or not. Mom said it was a Garter Snake. But it was a pretty big one in my book. She looked me over real good and saw no bite marks. She kept separating my fur so she could see my skin. AND she had to TOUCH MY FEET. This was a morning DISASTER. Mom said Garter snakes aren't poisonous but it was best to double check for bites. Bad enough I stepped on something squishy and wriggly, I had to have my FEET TOUCHED. After that we went over to see the chickens. They were pretty happy, the sun was shining. I turned my back to them so I could smell the breeze and OUCHHHHH. Marge pecked me RIGHT IN THE BUTT!!! I freaked out and jumped all over the place again. Mom sighed a big sigh. She sat down in the grass with me and got me all calmed down. Later on in the day I thought Mom would take me on a walk. But her and Dad went to see a baseball game. I was super disappointed. They left the game on the TV for me. I like to listen to the people talk and it puts me to sleep. Only it didn't, I was sad. No walk. No Mom. No Dad. I got my pal Spot and we stayed in my bed until they came home. It was really late. Mom and Dad cheered me right up! I got to have a snack and everything! I slept right next to Mom all night long. It was good to have everyone home again where they belong.

Dear Terry, All kinds of stuff going on here! Mom put up the big umbrella on the deck and it almost blew away!! Then the cats got to go outside on the deck with Mom and Dad but not ME! I thought everyone forgot about me. I like the deck too! I went to my bed and laid down. It was awful. Mom said I cant go out on the deck with PennyCat because I sometimes scare her. I don't mean to. Mom and Dad were busy all day long doing stuff outside and in the house. Dad planted plants! Mom dug in the dirt. Oh and Marge and Lisa got to try out a new spot in the yard. Mom likes to give them new spots because they eat everything and she doesn't have to mow! And the Girls are happy! But I wasn't happy. No one was even paying attention to me. I laid in my bed. After dinner, Mom said we can't have any sad dogs in THIS house! I didn't move. Dad said, NO SAD DOGS! And with that, Mom grabbed the leash and I got so excited I bonked my head off the door!! Woof! We went to the nature park. We walked everywhere. Up the hill, down the hill. Around the ponds. HELLLO MALLARDS! Me and Mom walked and walked. No more sad dog! Now I am tired. Me and Dad are going to watch some baseball together.

Dear Terry, Guess what tomorrow is? Tomorrow is Junk Day. Everyone puts junk by the road and other people come and take it. Free junk everywhere! Then the big trucks come and pick up the junk until it's all gone. Mom put our junk out early. She didn't get all of it out though. Dad is kind of down and out from his eye being zapped again. I have to keep watch over everything. I barked all day long to let Dad know that there were people at the road picking through the junk. Then when Mom came home we inspected the junk pile to see what was gone already. I'm not usually allowed near the road but me and Mom were real careful and she made sure I was safe. I had to stay in the grass. Strange people coming and going make me nervous. They will come in the night too. I plan on barking all night long so Mom knows we will be safe. Petey keeps telling me to knock it off. But I barked at him too. He's in the basement with my PennyCat. She doesn't like me barking either but someone has to do it! I'm going to be tired tomorrow after keeping an eye on everything. I still have 2 eyes you know. WOOF WOOF! Crazy chickens!

I spun in a circle and went right back up to her and she pecked me again!! I swear she put my eye out!!! Mom says that's what happens when you break the Chicken Rules! WOOF. I know I know , no barking at the chickens! BUT I was only saying HELLO. OK it might have been really loud. Mom assured me both eyes were still in my head but for a minute there I had my doubts. Dad said both my eyes are still there. He called me Patch though!!!! Mom said she didn't even draw blood. Either time. Maybe tomorrow I won't be so loud. Maybe tomorrow I won't even say Hello. Maybe tomorrow I will sit there and do nothing but stick my tongue out. PTHHHH. Crazy BIRDS!

Dear Terry, Mom says she will write more often. She's been too busy and not paying enough attention to me! Dad said I've been acting out. Mom said I know how to fix that! She said me andher need some Puppy Fun Time. Today we are going to go walking in my favorite park in the woods. This morning she let me help with all the chores. I even got to play with Marge! I would pretend jump at Marge and she would flap her wings and get all big and tall. I would pretend jump, she would jump too. It all ended when she reached through the fence and pecked me on the nose. Mom laughed, she said she knew that was coming! Margie always comes out to see me every morning. Most times she is nice to me. Lisa is CRAZY. That's ok, I like them both. Mom said I get to help her pull some weeds today in the yard. I sit right next to her when we do the weeding. My job is to catch flies. I'm pretty good at it but you have to be careful not to knock Mom over! Woof! Mom said now that it's nice weather, we can get out and do all the fun stuff we want too! I hope you come back to visit again. Even Petey was talking about how you came to visit! Not Penny, she slept through it all!
Mom said we promise to write more !

Dear Terry, Big Eggciting News!! Lisa laid the first egg!! Oh my gosh we haven't had this much excitement in a long time here! Me and Mom check on the chickens every morning and every night and I check them with Dad during the day. We look every day for eggs but we haven't seen any UNTIL TODAY! Mom opened the Hen House and she looked in and said FRED! EGG!! The girls were super clucky this morning because Mom was so excited then I was so excited I barked! We ran inside and Mom told Dad, get your shoes on! Hurry Up! Dad was scared at first - WHAT is going on?? Mom said An EGG!!! And Dad started laughing and he put his shoes on and we all went back out to see The Egg. Mom took a picture of it so you could see. Dad said, What a fine looking EGG! Dad doesn't eat eggs but he knew a good egg when he saw it! Then Mom let me smell it! What a good smell! When Mom got home tonight she fried it up in a pan and ate it. She even gave me a little bit. YUMMY. The middle was so yellow it looked orange to me. I hope we get more eggs! Marge hasn't laid an egg yet though. Maybe she will tonight and maybe Lisa will lay another one. Then me and Mom can each have an egg to eat!
Here's the egg. Dad said he was really hoping for a Golden Egg but a brown one is good too!

And Dad started laughing and he put his shoes on and we all went back out to see The Egg. Mom took a picture of it so you could see. Dad said, What a fine looking EGG! Dad doesn't eat eggs but he knew a good egg when he saw it! Then Mom let me smell it! What a good smell! When Mom got home tonight she fried it up in a pan and ate it. She even gave me a little bit. YUMMY. The middle was so yellow it looked orange to me. I hope we get more eggs! Marge hasn't laid an egg yet though. Maybe she will tonight and maybe Lisa will lay another one. Then me and Mom can each have an egg to eat!
Here's the egg. Dad said he was really hoping for a Golden Egg but a brown one is good too!

Dear Terry, Me and Mom and Dad took a big trip to go to Sam's birthday party! There was cake but no ice cream. I wasn't allowed any cake. It was chocolate. I was really tired. And a little grumpy. I pooped out early. Everyone let me have my favorite chair. It's just the right kind of comfortable. Oh and we saw Uncle Tom! He has new place. We have to ride an elevator to get to his place. There's lots of old people there and I stopped to say HELLO LADY to one of them! She was in a wheelchair and couldn't sit up so good. But she could sure pet me! She was laughing and telling Mom about how she used to have Irish Setters. She talked and talked to me. Mom said how good it was to see The Lady laugh and smile. Mom said What a Good Boy! And she gave me lots of pets! Uncle Tom played catch the Cherrios with me! I had a lot of Cherrios. YUMM! Uncle Tom even walked out with us to say goodbye and wave Bye Bye to me! Oh and me and Mom check on the chickens all the time. This morning Marge even greeted me with a COO COOO. That's her happy sound. We checked for eggs but no eggs yet. I pranced around in front of Marge in the coop to see if I could get her to play but she flapped her wings at me. The flappy wing thing scares me! Woof!
Hope you are having a Flappy Day!

Dear Terry, I didn't know that being a Chicken Checker could be so tiring!! As soon as I pee in the morning , me and Mom go over to check on The Girls. That's what Mom calls them. Their names are really Lisa and Marge. Marge is the big one. Lisa is the crazy one. We make sure the coop is OK and check all around it and then I pee on the corner. Then we open the doors and out they come! CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK. Today, Mom let me stay right next to the coop. I sat there real good and I put my nose up to the fence and Marge tried to PUT MY EYE OUT. Mom said No, she wanted to see if you were anything good to eat. They eat almost everything you know. I didn't bark though. I think Marge figured out that I am here to help! Me and Dad check on them during the day and then me and Mom check on them when she gets home at night. One time we saw the neighbor's cat trying to decide what to do about the chickens. He was nervous, you could tell. I barked at him to let him know GO AWAY and he ran really fast even though I wasn't anywhere near him and Mom had me on the leash. Marge eats right out of Mom's hand. We give them good treats to eat. Like lettuce and oregano and peppers. They really like lettuce. Petey watches them from the window. He's not allowed to be a Chicken Checker. Mom says some jobs are Dog Only Jobs and that I am the Best Chicken Checker EVER! WOOF WOOF!!
I hope you can see them soon!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dear Terry, What an exciting walk we had yesterday! We went to the Nature Park and there was a ton of people there and no room to park the car! The park manager showed us a spot that we could have. She's always so nice to me! The police were there too. I thought maybe there was a picnic going on with them because they were right in the middle of things. But soon I heard sirens getting closer to us and sure enough! an ambulance came in and then more sirens! and a special rescue truck came in! The men had special ropes and a special board to strap a human to. Mom said Oh boy Fred, We better not go in that direction. I was being real good too, I didn't bark or act up or anything. I could tell I had to listen to Mom. We went up the trails where things were quieter. I could still hear the men. Mom said she thinks someone fell off on of the steep trails.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dear Terry, we just had some excitement here! Me and Mom and Petey were making toast and egg in the kitchen. Mom was cheating because she was using the Egg Maker. We watched mom crack the egg and put it in the Egg Maker and in it went to the Food Maker. The toast was toasting. Petey was looking in the Food Machine watching the Egg Maker. Mom started buttering the toast. I like toast, Petey likes egg. We couldn't wait! But the the Egg Machine exploded!!! KABLAMMO!! Petey, me and Mom jumped !!! Mom opened the door to the Food Machine and egg went everywhere and the Egg Machine looked broke! This was awful! What were we going to eat! Mom let us help clean up the egg. Don't worry, it was cooked. And she put the Egg Machine back together. This time we all stood back from the Food Machine. Even Petey. The egg came out just the way we all like it! Mom said next time she'll use a regular pan. We all got little bits of egg and toast! Not Dad. He doesn't like eggs. He's weird like that! I've never seen exploding eggs! It was scary but tasty! Petey agreed!

Dear Terry, we were supposed to go on a trip today but we didn't go. We were going to nephew Nolan's birthday party. Only everything was icy and Mom said no way were we driving in that! We had to be real careful outside because everything was very slippery. I almost fell down. Mom slipped. I hurried up and pooped and we went inside. I tried to get Petey to play with me but all he wanted to do was talk to the birdies outside at the feeder. Dad didn't want to play either. I'm not allowed to play with PennyCat because she's old. Mom was doing stuff in the house. Mom saw me just sitting in the middle of the floor by myself. She said Fred! I have an idea come on! She let me go into the basement with her and she got out a jar of Peanut Butter!!! She put peanut butter and treats in the puzzle toy you gave me at the Ocean. Oh my gosh what fun!! She even refilled it for me!! Mom always knows what I need! It was the crunchy kind of peanut butter too!!
What a great day this turned out to be!

Dear Terry, I've been sick with the poops. I don't like having the poops. But I didn't have any accidents in the house. Mom gave me some Don't Poop Medicine and it would work and then I would get sick again. I have to eat some real plain food. Petey won't even share his food with me. But yesterday I started to feel better and ate my regular food and everything! But I don't get to have any snacks. Dad always gives me snacks. So does Mom but Dad gives me more. Mom was real happy yesterday and today because I had no messy poops at all, only regular poop! Mom says stop talking about Poop! She's had to clean up a lot of Poop all over the yard. Mom is Pooped Out! Woof! Did you see all the snow?? Me and Mom played some in the snow. Not a whole lot because we both got really cold and came back in the house. I didn't tell Santa about the poops because I want him to bring my special frosted biscuits with the sprinkles on them. Mom says don't worry about that but how can I not be?? I only get those once a year!
Hope you don't have the Poops!

I didn't tell Santa about the poops because I want him to bring my special frosted biscuits with the sprinkles on them. Mom says don't worry about that but how can I not be?? I only get those once a year!
Hope you don't have the Poops!

Dear Terry, Santa is coming soon! I hope he brings me my frosted biscuits with the sprinkles on top. He brings them to me EVERY year! He wouldn't let me down this year, right? I've been good. Well, pretty good. I haven't eaten PeteyCat. I was pretty good on most of the walks with Mom. I made sure the house was safe from the Scary People trying to open the door. I took care of Dad. I hope Santa didn't hear me swearing when everyone took me to the Ocean. I herded cows and sent them home. Ok, back to the Ocean. That shouldn't even count. Nothing that makes your feet wet should count towards being Naughty or Nice. That wouldn't be fair. Right??? I bet Santa's Reindeer don't have to go in the Ocean. Santa wouldn't do that to them. I bet Mom is on the Naughty List for making me go to the Ocean. HUMPHHHH. All I want is my biscuits. PennyCat told me that she always gets her favorite food from Santa - no matter how many times she slaps me in the face. PeteyCat is really bad all year long and he still got treats last year. I hope Santa forgives me for freaking out at the Ocean. Mom says he will and don't worry she has it on good authority that I am on the Biscuit List! I hope so!

Dear Terry, more excitement today! Me and Mom were walking this morning. The birds were singing and the wind blowing. Then I smelled him. A Cat. Not just any cat. One of the neighbor's cats. The one that teases me by sitting under my window. He looks at me. I knew he was nearby but WHERE? Mom said Fred! Leave him alone! She knew. THEN HE FELL FROM THE SKY !!! Me and mom both jumped sky high! HE FELL FROM THE SKY!! I couldn't stop barking. Mom let me bark at his crazy cat butt. Mom figured out that he jumped down from the big tree branch over our heads. This just proves he's crazier than PeteyCat and will stop at nothing to make me nuts. Mom says I'm still not allowed to chase him. Humphhh.

Dear Terry, You won't believe what just happened here! Me and Mom were in the yard walking around and we kept hearing the neighbor's cows. They were getting closer and closer and you could hear the little baby cows with them. They don't have big Moos yet. I told Mom let's go! and we came up from the bottom of the yard and around the house and up the side steps and THERE THEY WERE! The lead cow was right on the road and the other cows were lining up behind her. They were in danger! A car came and had to swerve and slow down because the cow was on the road! I told Mom don't worry I know what to do! We went over to our side of the road. I don't know how I knew, but I knew the cows had to get off the road. First, I did my Cow Bark. Kindof of growly and low bark all at once. The cow backed off the road! I had the attention of every cow there, even the smaller ones. Mom said that was like 20-25 cows. Mom said they are Black Angus cows. I started to pretend to charge at them and zig zag on my leash and guess what happened!??? They turned around and started running back home! They really did! The lead cow didn't move at first like the other ones. she watched all the other cows run down the creek bed. Then I gave her a good barking to and danced around some more and she went home too. Her tail was swishing, I think she was angry. I wasn't acting all crazy either, you can't do that with cows. You have to tell them who is boss and I did! Mom gave me big pets and an extra treat when we got inside. I sent the Cows home!! Mom said the farmer would be happy to see his cows come home.

Dear Terry, I'm real sorry you are so sad. Mom said she can't make it any better! Newtie was a great dog. I know because he was a good pepperoni catcher! He showed me how to get along with other dogs. I told Mom I will try really hard to live forever. I don't want her sad. Mom said someday we all part ways but that we are always so lucky to have every minute together. I don't know how long a minute is but it must be a long time. When I'm sad Mom lets me have bacon. You should make bacon. Bacon can make anything better!! It really does!!
Lots of love and woofs, FredDog

Dear Terry, It's ME PETEYCAT. Or as Mom says PETEYNO! I answer to both! I even answer to FRED! Mom says I need to help Freddie once in awhile writing to you. I'm going to tell you how I helped Mom make Cut Out Cookies. To start we went into the basement and pulled out a special bag. It jingled. What could be in there? I followed Mom up the steps to the kitchen to see! OHH Cookie Cutters! Mom filled the entire sink full of them. They sparkle in the light because they are metal. Mom cleaned them all up and put them on a towel to dry on the counter. Right by my food bowl. I couldn't help but see how sparkley and jingley they were. I poked at one when she wasn't looking and it fell to the floor and Fred BARKED. What a dummy! He alerted Mom to what I was doing. He never learns, if you bark, Mom comes and we have to stop having fun! I poked him in the face. When Mom left the room again, I picked out a good one and dropped it on Fred's head. Just Because. Then I grabbed a really good one and RAN! I put it in with all my stuff in the back of the sofa. I have a hidey hole there. I suspect Mom might be on to what I did because she looked behind the sofa and I sat there not saying a word. Then at night, I took out my cookie cutter and played and played! WHAT FUN! Fred was jealous. I could tell. I wouldn't let him near it. I did all the work to get it! Mom said it was ok for me to have one of the cookie cutters because it kept me away from the kithcen while she made the cookies and that was a big help! Mom loves me best.

Dear Terry, Me and Mom have had an exciting time of it lately! The neighbor's big black lab decided she didn't like me any more and one night she came charging at me and Mom . Mom got me in the house. Then Mom went back out and told her GO HOME!! and she did. She keeps doing that. Mom said something has changed but we didn't know WHAT until this morning. This morning me and Mom were walking all around the yard like usual and we were in the back driveway and sure enough we see wacko coming through the next door neighbor's yard. She's not supposed to leave her yard from a few houses away. She got to their driveway, looked both ways all sneaky like. We stood there real quiet and watched to see what she was going to do. She was snatching up the bread the neighbor throws on the ground for the birdies!! As fast as she could, she was jamming them in her mouth until you could see her cheeks puff out!! Then she saw us and I barked at her when she took a step towards us. I barked some more. Go Away!! That's what I was telling her in no uncertain terms. GO AWAY. She stood there for a minute thinking about it. I growled a little. Then she put her head down and her tail down and turned around. GOOD! I wasn't going to steal her bread! I think this was all over BREAD. She must not be too smart because even I know the only good bread is the kind that comes with peanut butter on it! Tonight, when Mom took me out, no problems. She stayed where she was supposed to in her own yard. She must really like that bread. Even Jimmy from across the creek doesn't eat bread for the birdies. I hope she goes back now to being nice instead of bread crazy!

Dear Terry, Last night was very exciting. First, Mom got home early! Then Mom brought Petey's new bed into the house! It's not a bed yet. Right now it's an old cabinet. But Petey was being so bad last night that Mom brought it in for him to play in and investigate. Mom said she's going to paint it blue and maybe paint some pictures on the outside. She's even going to put a cushion with some fleece in there for Petey. Petey likes the heat vent so I bet she puts it right next to the heat vent for him. Near my bed too! Mom says Petey needs his own place to be Petey. Penny has her towels and I have my bed and right now Petey has a little basket but he's bigger than the basket now. Mom says the cabinet is going to be really neat as a bed for Petey. Dad has his doubts but said as long as Petey is happy with it! I'm going to help Mom today with it. She doesn't have to work today! Tht was the other exciting thing! Mom is home today! We might even go burn some leaves in the big barrel. That's pretty neat too. It's cold outside but near the barrel and the fire you stay all toasty warm. Should be a good day today!

Dear Terry, Happy Halloween!!! Mom and Dad always take me over to Grammy's house to trick or treat. I wear my skeleton costume! If Mom pulls the hood up for me my ears turn into bones! Gram always gives me Cherrios! Mom doesn't have to work today so we are going to go to the park later on and have a look around at stuff. We went to the park a few days ago and Dad came with us. He even walked with us! I won't go too far from Dad. I like to keep him in sight or where I can smell him. We sat by the pond for a long time on a big wooden bench. I think this time it will be me and Mom by ourselves. The Park Managaer Lady was there the last time and she called out to me! FREDDDDDDIEEEE! Mom let me run over to her and get lots of pets. Oh and Me and Petey were playing this morning and running all around and we unmade the whole bed! What fun! Mom pulls the covers up so they are nice and flat when she gets up. Once that's done me and Petey like to grab ahold of parts of the blankets and we roll all around or bunch it all up and hide beind the pile of blankets and scare each other! Mom doesn't get mad she usually laughs! I better go find Dad. I think he fell asleep again!
Howls and Boos! Fred Dog!

Dear Terry, Me and Petey got in some trouble tonight! It is all Petey's fault!! If I do a really good trick, Mom reaches into the ghost dish and gives me a candy corn! I LOVE candy corn! Well, you know what that Petey did??? He jumped up and pulled a candy corn right out of the ghost dish!!! He didn't even do a trick!! I jumped right up and snapped at him. Just a little snap. More like a snip. And he slapped me right in the head!! It's MY candy corn! I learned last year that you shouldn't lick all the candy corn in the dish. Mom yelled at us both even though it was clearly all Petey's fault!! Mom called it The Candy Corn Caper. I called it unfair! Once I got calmed down, Mom gave me a secret candy corn! I guess I'm ok now.

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

Dear Terry, What a day! Dad is sick. I've been taking care of him. He's really cold so I have been snuggling in with him to keep him warm. Mom gave him medicine to help him feel better and it made him fall asleep so I went to find Petey. Me and Petey ran all through the house like wild animals. First he chased me, then I chased him! Mom was busy cleaning. Then she did work outside. Dad finally woke up and we had some snacks. I really wanted to go for a walk but Mom kept doing other stuff! We haven't gone to the Park in a long time! Mom finally sat down, so I went over to my leash so she would know I wanted to go somewhere. And guess what!? We did! We went to the Park!!! Mom let me pick wherever I wanted to go. We went all around the ponds and saw all the people fishing. Oh the smells!! There was so much to get caught up on! We walked everywhere until I started to get tired. Mom had to pick ticks off of me the whole time. Yuck. They make me itch. I kept getting them all over my face. Mom said that's because my nose never came off the ground! Dad was asleep again when we got home but he woke up to hear all about what I did at the Park. It was super relaxing and I sat in Dad's lap and told him all about it until he fell asleep again. Hope you could take a fall walk in the park today!

Dear Terry, Guess what?? Me and Mom took a walk in the dark and the moon was out and it was almost like daytime with all the shadows. I was watching the shadows on the neighbors shed. THEN all of a sudden there was a big scaryyyyy MONSTER shadow and I jumped and barked and growled!!! It looked like it was going to eat my shadow!!! Mom was laughing and laughing! HEY! Mom did that on purpose! I turned around and gave her a piece of my mind!! You SCARED me! Mom was laughing still! She reached down and patted me on the head and said I'm sorry Fred! That was me making that scary shadow! I KNEW THAT! Ok, not at first, but I figured it out myself!! HMPPPHH. Then Mom tickled me on the face and we started to play and we had fun chasing shadows in the moonlight! Woof woof!!

Dear Terry, The Workmen are all gone and the bathroom is different. Petey likes the new shower. Mom leaves the door open to the shower and he walks in then walks out, in then out. I told him bad things are in the shower, like Water and Soap. I know all about Water. I've seen the Ocean and it's SCARY. Petey said, No Fred! Mom makes the water go and it's like it is raining outside! I keep telling Mom that Petey is nuts and that proves it! Today me and Dad had the first quiet day in a long time. We caught a stink bug, took a big nap, peed and ate. It was a good day!

Dear Terry, Oh my gosh am I tired!! It was so great to be on vacation with you and Janet last week! And I saw Laura too! This week I've been pooped out too. The Workmen were here all week long making a new bathroom. Me and Petey had to stay in the bedroom. At first we were scared because there was a lot of noise. Petey hid under the bed and I pooped on the floor. That was an accident. Sometimes when I get scared, I poop. And I was and I did. Mom wasn't mad though. She knew it was a big scary thing for me. Petey offered to share his litter box but it had a lid on it. He said FRED! you can't poop outside the box!! But I did. I've been chewing on my feet too. BUT things sure got better once I was able to meet The Workmen! They rubbed my head real hard and slapped me on the side and ruffed up my ears! It was great to meet them! You know what though? It wasn't NEARLY as scary as The Ocean. I won't do that again. I was nearly SWEPT out to SEA! Mom says I'm being dramatic because the wave only came up to my knees. I did have fun smelling all the smells on the Boardwalk and running along the big sand dunes with Mom. I've never smelled anything like The Ocean. Or heard anything so loud! I could hear it no matter where we went. Even when we went to the Food Palace together and ate outside.
Here's some pictures to remind you of all the fun we had last week!

Dear Terry, day 3 of the awful sore. BUT I'm CONE FREE! I still have to take my medicine pills. Blah. I tried to spit one of them out but Dad caught me. He said hey! So I had to eat it without the cheese because I'd already picked the cheese off! Blah again! Better than the CONE. Mom said she won't hesitate to put it back on me if my sore gets worse. I'm being really good. Mom said I need a break so we're going to take a walk and Dad is going to cook out on the Burger Machine! I get to help too! When I help, Dad makes me my own Puppy Burger with cheese and everything!
Barks and wags are back!!

Dear Terry, Today is awful. I had to go to the Vet. Mom said so. I have a bad sore in my crotch. It's bleeding and everything! The Vet had to shave me. I held real still. It was scary. The Vet said one of my bumps broke open. I have to take a pill. That's not so bad, Mom puts it in cheese! But THEN Mom and Dad put a CONE on my head. I struggled. Mom broke into a sweat. Dad was breathing hard. And I struggled even more. I have a CONE on my head. I'm not happy. Dad gave my lots of treats, and even some gushy food!! I still have a CONE on my head. Even Petey said, there's a CONE on your head!! Grrrrrr.
No barks and no wags. FredDog

Dear Terry! Mom's been busy again. She keeps doing a lot of work every day. Dad told her to stop it and that we should send you a letter! So guess what we did this morning!? We got up and hurried and did all the chores and walked all around the yard to check on things. The cats stayed out on the deck with Dad. They sure do like it out there. Petey's really good out there. Penny Cat showed him how to act and not be scared. After all that me and Mom took a surprise walk in the park! Oh my GOSH!! How great is that!??? the grass was all wet and dewy. I lick the water off the grass. The birds were everywhere! There were the bluebirds and the waterbirds and the loud blue jays. We had a great time walking around! Then the day got even better! Mom took me to the Burger Palace! We didn't get burgers though. We got Breakfast which is almost as good! Dad sure did like his sandwich and he ate Mom's hashbrown! It's good to be home now. Almost nap time!
Can't wait to see you soon,
Love and Woofs, FredDog!

Dear Terry, Guess what?? Yesterday Mom was off and she canned tomatoes and made sauce and this morning she made MEATBALLS! Can you believe it??? I think of them as the perfect Dog Treat. Yummy goodness all in one bite, Sauce and meat and cheese if I'm lucky! I watched Mom do the tomatoes yesterday. I kept wondering when the meatballs were going to get made. She ran out of time though. Me and Dad had some today after Mom left for work. Mom is heating some up now. I can smell them in the food machine. She said she made them too hot and they have to cool off for us to eat them. Petey doens't like Meatballs. That's because he's a CAT and what does he know??? I'm getting worried. I smell rain. Mom said it might rain tonight but don't worry we can eat Meatballs in the dark and pretend things aren't so scary. I don't know if Meatballs will do the trick, storms are scary. I should probably eat a lot of them now just in case. You know, in case I'm too scared to eat them later on!

Dear Terry, Me and Petey got yelled at this morning. I thought I was going to be in BIG trouble. We were playing in the hallway and having fun. Petey pretends to beat me in the face and I show him all my teeth to try and scare him. Only this time he used all his claws and caught me in the eye and I yelped and pushed him with my nose and he fell over! He hissed, I barked and Mom said HEY! I ran to the bedroom, Petey ran to the kitchen. We decided a long time ago it's best to split up then only one of us can get in trouble. Mom sat down with me on the bed and didn't yell at me or anything, She carefully looked at my eye and said You'll Live! and gave me a big smooch on the head! YAY!!! I was going to be OK! She went to find Petey. He was under the kitchen table and came out but she didn't yell at him either. She checked him over real good and said the same thing! You'll Live! And then we ran around like wild animals again because that's what we do! Woof!

Petey Cat here. I accidentally almost put Fred's eye out. Good thing Mom knew I didn't mean it....THIS time. That crazy dog pushed me over with that big old nose of his. Fred's not allowed to make me hiss and I'm not allowed to put his eyes out. Mom says that's The Rule. We almost got in big trouble today that's for sure! Good thing I'm so cute!

Dear Terry, Guess where I was??? I was at the Puppy Palace! Me and Spot. Spot goes with me so that I don't get lonely. Mom and Dad went away for the weekend and I couldn't go so Mom took me to the Puppy Palace. Mom packs my bed and Spot and my own food and snacks! I have my own place to sleep and even my own TV!! I get to play with other dogs until I'm so tired I can't even eat! This time I got to go by the splash pool. It's kind of like the creek only really wide and almost flat. The water covers my feet so it's not deep at all. At first I was sad when Mom and Dad dropped me off because I was put outside by the pool right away and I could hear them talking in the parking lot and I started barking and barking. Mom said HEY I Hear Fred??? I was barking and barking at the fence and she finally saw me through the fence. She said Be good FredDog! We have to go! Dad hollered Love you FredDog and away they went. I listened until I couldn't hear them any more. My new friends were already in the water and said HEY FRED come on over! Don't be sad! My feet were hot so the water felt good and in no time I was having fun! I did get scared though with all the storms. But the night time Lady came over to make sure me and Spot were OK. She gave me lots of treats. And before I knew it, 2 days were past and I heard Mom's car. Then I hear Mom and I went NUTS! The helper lady grabbed the wrong leash, then she ran back got the right one and I was barking and I made all the other dogs bark. She came back and she took me out of my room BUT she left Spot behind!!! I wouldn't budge until Spot came with me! Then we RAN and busted through the first door and then the second door and there was MOM!!!!!! She gave me big hugs and kisses and I was wagging my tail as hard as I could and I knocked into this other lady standing in my wagging space. She laughed and moved back a bit so I could see my Mom.
Mom hurried up and drove me and Spot home and I ran to see Dad and I ran to see Petey and I ran to see Penny. Only she ran from me. Mom said that's because I was acting like a crazy dog. Once I slowed down she came back out! Me and Petey flopped down together. It was good to be back with all my friends!

Dear Terry, Guess what??? I found a dead raccoon for Mom! Right under one of the hostas by the creek. His tail was sticking out. Mom said I wasn't allowed to touch it though. He's good and stinky now in the heat. Mom's not sure how it died so we have to leave it alone in case it was sick. Mom says The Rabies will make me crazier then I already am and then I would end up under a hosta too. I'm not ready for that yet! Woof! I told Petey all about it and all about The Rabies when we got back in the house. Pipe down there Fred! Mom said. Me and Petey ran all around the house!

Dear Terry, Guess who I met yesterday! Melinda the Pet Sitter Lady. I liked her so much I fell asleep right next to her on the couch. Even Petey came out to see her. Mom thinks you shoulds be a pet sitter too. Melinda even gave me treats after I showed her my tricks. She said I'm very smart! Mom says that if her and Dad go away someday then Melinda can look after me and the Cats. After she left, me and Petey ran all around the house because it had been so exciting! We ran and ran until we both were out of breath! Me and Mom went to the park too. It was really hot so we only walked in the woods where there was shade and it was cooler. I better go help pack Mom's lunch! I hear Dad getting all the stuff out. That means I get snacks!!

Dear Terry, I got in some trouble again. Me and Mom went to the park today! I was so excited. We haven't had a lot of walks since it's been so hot outside. Mom took me today though! I was barking and singing the whole way there! As soon as we got there, Mom opened up her door and I am supposed to wait until she grabs my leash. Only I didn't wait, I pushed past her and jumped out and RAN I was so excited to be there! Mom might have said a bad word. But it doesn't count since Dad wasn't around to hear it. I ran all the way to my favorite spot to pee and realized, UT OH. No Mom. Should I go back to her? I'll be in trouble for sure. But I shouldn't be without Mom. I didn't know what to do. I ran a little bit towards her but she looked mad so I ran a little bit away from her. FREDWARD. That's what she calls me when I am in BIG trouble. I went back like I'm supposed to. I made it all better though - I was wagging and jumping and rolling all around so she would be happy again. Sure enough it worked! She was laughing, I was barking and we had a great time after that!

Dear Terry, Dad hasn't been feeling so good lately so Mom said Fred! Let's do something fun with your Dad. And you know what she did? She set up the bean bag toss right in the house!!! Me and Petey were very excited!! Dad and Mom played a whole bunch of games! Mom said it was more like Whack a Mole. Petey hides under the board and when he hears the bean beag hit, he pops up and tries to grab it! Then I try and catch Petey and Dad laughs and laughs! We had a lot of fun. Dad seemed to feel better after that.
Oh and Mom says I can do a magic trick! She calls it pull a cat of a hosta trick! I've done it twice! Snowball the cat from next door likes to hide under the hosta where I can't see her. Only I can smell her. So I stick my head under the hosta and push her with my nose and TA DA! She pops right out and runs off. Mom says it's a very dangerous trick because Snowball can put my eye out without warning. Cats are tricky like that you know!!

Dear Terry, Sorry I haven't written in awhile. It's been too hot to do anything but lay around. But I got in BIG trouble today. Mom came home and I could smell a special treat for me! She got me a fresh pig ear straight from the butcher! YUM! Mom gave it to me and I was happily munching on it little bit at a time. Every piece was piggy goodness. UNTIL Petey came up to me and tried to TAKE IT. I SNARLED and I lunged at him and scared him real bad. I didn't bite him but I showed him all my teeth. Mom yelled at me right away and Dad yelled at me right away and I grabbed my pig ear and went to leave the room but Mom stopped me. She tried to take the pig ear. I didn't let go at first. I don't growl at Mom or show her my teeth. She's Mom. But that doesn't mean I was going to give her the pig ear. She said FRED RIGHT NOW and I dropped it like I'm supposed to. I had to settle my butt down and then she made sure I knew that she can take that pig ear away again if I even looked at anyone wrong. We played give and take with it for a few minutes. She gives, I take. Then I give and she takes. Then I was allowed to have it all to myself. And I ate every last scrap of it! YUMMY! But you know what?? That PETEY didn't get in trouble at all for trying to take it from me in the first place!! HUMPHHHH.
Love and Woofs, FredDog
P.S. Petey Cat here. That crazy dog tried to kill me. I swear! Mom says quit being dramatic he didn't even touch you and you tried to take his pig ear. Don't worry I got him back later on when he was trying to be nice to me. Outta the blue I hit him in the face with everything I had in my front paw. Right in the kisser! Then I ran like hell through the house before anyone could catch me! OK, maybe he didn't try and kill me but he sure did scare me with all those teeth so I think I'm justified in smacking him silly in the snoot. Then we laid down together and took a rest. And we got a drink together out of the water bowl. I should have splashed him.
ROARRRRRR! Petey Cat.

Terry, it's me, Petey. I'm going to have Mom write one of my how to .... stories.
How to Hang a Ceiling Fan with Petey Cat
First, turn off the power. Safety first! Pet Petey sitting on the water softener trying to see in the electric box. Next, open the fan box! Make sure no parts have been grabbed by one sneaky, theiving cat. Set up step ladder. See picture below - Petey is now hanging off the front of my shorts, meowing and swinging. Put cat on the ladder so he can see instead of freaking out because he can't. Watch all the carefully laid out tools and parts get knocked off the ladder shelf. Big sigh. I did put him up there. What was I thinking? Call for backup because Petey is now knocking everything on the shelf and counters onto the floor. Put Petey in bedroom with door shut. Resume installation in peace. Notice Fred Dog has been looking on in amazement at the havoc. Done! Light even works on it. Release the Petey! Who greets you with ten thousand head butts. Everything is back to normal!

Dear Terry, me and mom were pretty busy today. Mom put a fan on the ceiling. Petey's going to tell you about that. Then me and mom went to the park. What a great place! We went all through the woods. Then we went to the Burger Palace and the King made me a cheeseburger!! Yummy! Petey is going to write his own story now.

Dear Terry, Me and Mom have been busy! Every morning we go down to the creek and we go splish splash through the water and look for frogs and toads. Well, that's what I do, Mom cleans out the creek bit by bit so that the water doesn't get clogged up. I even climb the old tree and stand on top of the big log and then jump down into the mud! I hurry up and get in the water like Mom showed me how to, to get my feet get cleaned off. Oh and we found a old abandoned birdy nest that had fallen out of the trees. Mom took it to Dad to add to his bird nest collection. This is the biggest one. He has a real little one that Mom said might be a hummingbird nest. But this is a big nest. Mom carried it real careful up to the house. It's on the fromt porch with some of the others. Gotta go, Mom has to get ready to go to work!

Dear Terry, I thought all the scaries were over. But everyday it thunders. Mom was at work yesterday. Dad was here though. We tried to watch TV while it was storming. It didn't work, I was scared and Dad fell asleep!!!! I layed down right smack next to him and he put his arm over me and I wasn't so scared then. That Petey Cat has a screw loose for sure as Mom says! He was looking out the windows chasing the lightning! What is wrong with him???? Mom says we will go to the park and walk around this weekend so I'm not so nutty. Me and Petey have been having fun inside the house. Petey runs through the big tunnel and the little tunnel and scares me silly then we take off running! Sometimes I chase him right into the big tunnel. What fun! He likes to hide in there and jump out at all of us and scare us! Mom said she might make us some Puppy Pops this weekend. I said I want the banana kind. Petey said he wanted the vanilla kind. Petey calls them Petey Pops. I call them Puppy Pops. Mom said we can just call them Petey Puppy Pops and then we can have both flavors! We eat stuff together. I'm allowed to help make the Pops. Mom lets me lick the bowl after she mixes stuff together. Petey gets to lick the spoon. I hope she makes them today!

Dear Terry, This is Mom's Favorite Holiday. It's not mine. I've been so scared the past few days. Everyone around us is setting off fireworks. Mom stays with me. We sit together on the couch or in the bed and my ears are covered. Petey runs from window to window when he hears the fizzy crackly ones. He likes to watch those. Oh and Dad bought a bean bag game! Only Petey tried to take one of the bean bags. Dad said that's why we shouldn't be playing in the house! Mom took a picture. There's proof. Petey takes things. Sometimes little things, sometimes big things. We might have to play bean bag inside if it rains. Mom said it was supposed to rain. OH! Last night Mom ran and got us ice cream! I even got a special cup of dog ice cream all for me! I didn't even share it with Petey. I love ice cream. Mom said it might help me not be so scared of the fireworks. And she was right! I heard a couple while I was licking my ice cream but it's ICE CREAM! I can't let that go to waste by being scared!! I told Petey he should start writing more. What if something happens and I can't write letters to you anymore? Then Petey can. He's in my tunnel right now. I made mom put his picture in the letter here at the bottom so you can see how he steals things.
Happy 4th Of July Terry! I hope you get some ice cream!

Dear Terry, I hope Steve is OK. Mom said he was getting some new bones to help him walk right. I don't know how all that works, sounds kind of weird to me! Petey likes my new tunnel. He won't let me play in it and he is always scaring everyone who walks by it. Last night he was making it move on its own. It was scary at first but then I figured out Petey was under the carpet making it roll. I sat on him. That stopped that business! And then of all things Mom says FRED! Don't sit on the cat! I chased Petey real good after that!
Me and Mom went into the creek again this morning. I am helping clean it out. She does all the cleaning, I keep a lookout from the big log that I stand on. We make a good team!

Dear Terry, What a great visit!! I couldn't wait for you to get here and then you were here and I couldn't even think!! I love my gifts! Mom opened the tunnel up for me and Petey went right in! There's a door on it and everything! I loved my tummy rubs the bestest! We even ate hamburgers together! I hope you come here again real soon! Mom said don't worry she's coming back! I told Petey he shouldn't be so afraid because you give good pets! He said I don't know Fred she smelled like other cats! It's ok Petey she knows how to scratch ears and everything!

Dear Terry, Guess what I helped Mom do! I helped her clean out the creek! I know you don't believe me, but I did help! We had to move a big log out of the creek and clean out sticks and stones. And it was so hot I didn't know what to do so I followed Mom right into the water feet and all! The water felt good and cool on my feet and pretty soon I was splashing around. I even took a drink. It's cold spring water. My feet were covered and everything. The water was almost halfway up my legs! How about that! I didn't see any of our frogs or toads though. Mom said that might be because of all the splashing around we were doing. When we were all done, I didn't even want to come out of the
water!
Have a splashy kind of a day!

Dear Terry, What a hot day! I didn't want to go outside at all! Me and Mom did take a walk yesterday in the woods. It was hot and the flies kept biting at me. We stayed in the shade and pretty soon I took Mom back to the car because I got so hot. She got me a big drink of cold water. When we got home, Dad said I could use some ICE CREAM!!! I could use some too Dad!!! Mom went and got Dad some special ice cream just for him, and me and Mom had vanilla ice cream. I even got to lick some whipped cream off of her sundae!! I said to Petey, come try some! He likes milk. He eats raw eggs too if Mom isn't careful in the kitchen. He didn't want any whipped cream!! There must be something wrong with him for sure!! Penny Cat didn't want any either but Mom fixed her up with a bowl of ice water. She likes that. She's talking to me again. She tells me all the stuff that happens at night when I'm sleeping. Meow Meow. Maybe Mom will go get us ice cream again and we can have another ice cream party!! I like parties!

Dear Terry, Yesterday Mom and Dad left and were gone all day long! It was awful. Me and Petey and Penny Cat were all here. Mom usually leaves the TV on for me but she didn't this time! Petey said, Hey Fred! I'm bored let's find someting to do! Oh I don't know Petey, we always seem to get in trouble when you are bored. What did you want to do?? I don't know Fred but I will think of something! Pretty soon he was at his food bowl eating and pretty soon he was picking up pieces and throwing them on the floor for me! We have a good system. Usually he is quicker than me and he can drop a piece on the floor and then jump down, lightning fast, and beat me to it and gobble it down. We did that for awhile and then he sat there real quiet. I couldn't see up on the counter to see what he was doing so I went closer and closer. I'm not allowed to stand up to see on the counter. I might have tried to sneak a peek though. Mom was no where to be found right??? CLUNK! right on my head!! The whole food bowl! Food went flying everywhere, Petey ran, I ran! It made such a loud noise hitting the floor and the food was EVERYWHERE. Oh boy. We stayed out of the kitchen after that. Then it thundered and me and Petey layed down together. He helps me be not so afraid. Mom and Dad finally got home. Me and Petey ran right for Mom. Maybe she wouldn't see what happened in the kitchen! She went to the kitchen and crunch crunch crunch. She said WHAT happened here. Me and Petey disappeared into the bedroom. PETEY! FRED! She ordered us to clean it up right away. WOOF WOOF! Me and Petey hurried up and ate all the food off the floor! Mom was laughing. Then she saw I had skinned my nose. I didn't say a PEEP. Neither did Petey. Mom will never know what really happened! Penny Cat better not talk either!

Dear Terry, What a day yesterday! First Dad was trimming the bush right under the window!! Then the big truck with all the gravel came to fill the holes in the driveway. Neighbor John smoothed it all out. The truck was beeping and making all kinds of noise. I barked so he would know not to hit our house. Then Petey and I ran around and around. That's what we do. Then Mom came home!!! I told her all about the trimming and the truck. I was barking and Penny Cat was meowing and Petey was running and jumping on stuff we were so excited to see her. Petey learned how to make the printer go on his own too. He said LOOK Fred! All you have to do is press this button with your foot! I couldn't see because I'm short but sure enough the printer turned on and sucked the paper through! I said Petey I think that might get you in trouble. He kept pressing the button.Mom saw him do it this morning and he did get in trouble! Mom turned it off hoping he won't keep playing with it. Oh and there were storms last night. Me and Mom camped out on the big bed. We laid with our heads at the foot of the bed. That's what I do. Backwards on the bed seems to help. Mom slept backwards too. She grabbed pillows and a little snack and made a tent out of the blanket and pretty soon the storm was over and even Dad laid down. Whew! I hope today is a good day! I see the sun is out already!

Dear Terry, Things were really scary the other night with the big rain and thunder. I could hear the creek in the back gushing and there was water everywhere and parts of the driveway got washed away. There's a part in the driveway I can stand in and my chest is even with the top of the driveway. That's how scary it was!! The water made a big gash and hole in the driveway. I was so scared. Petey wasn't though. He was running window to window watching the water run down the sidewalk carrying branches and sticks and stones. My ears hurt because it was very loud. Mom covered my head up so it wouldnt be so loud. And we sat on the floor together that way I wouldn't be scared by myself. That night Petey came and slept right next to me. He even washed my head for me. He told me everything is A-OK and not to worry. I was still scared though.
Hope you week wasn't as scary!!!

Dear Terry, OH MY GOSH MOM CAME HOME!! She was gone all day long!!! As soon as I heard her car I was off and running and barking to tell Dad. He was asleep!! How can he sleep at a time like this!! Penny Cat came running, Petey Cat came running, I was barking and the door bell was ringing! Mom was locked out! DADDDDDDD!!! Wake up DADDDDDDD!!!WAKKKE UPPPPPP!!!! I almost peed myself it was so exciting! As soon as she was in the door we all came running! Petey jumped right into her arms and Penny Cat was saying Meow Meow! and I was barking and Dad was still half asleep! I haven't left her side yet! Boy did we all miss her! Petey keeps jumping right up into her arms. I thought she would never come home. Dad tried to get me out on the deck earlier today but I didn't even go outside to sit in the sun. Petey didn't even try to go outside either. Penny Cat slept. Things weren't the same at all. Mom said me and her can have some treats together and watch baseball. Mom said we all have to get used to her being back at work. I'll try but I really want her to go back on strike and be home all the time. Mom did tell us all how much she missed us too.
