Dear Terry, Crazy stuff going on around here! Last night when Mom got home, we played ball and watched TV until Mom fell asleep. But I wasn't tired even though everyone else was sleeping so I woke Mom up and tried to get her to play. That didn't work, so I decided to play with the blankets by myself. What fun! Then I barked out the windows, I don't know why, but it was fun too so I barked some more! I did sleep a little bit but then the Sun came up! I woke Mom up right away to tell her. She finally got up and we started the morning chores. Something was wrong!! HEY! Someone had been sleeping in MY blanket! Penny Cat!!! I barked a whole lot about that! I ran to find PennyCat but she was hiding. HUMMPH. Then the men came to work on the road and there were big trucks and people and beeping and loud noises. I ran into the bedroom but the curtains were in the way! Mom came to the rescue though and opened the curtains so I could see what they were doing. I barked at them too. Mom said I've been cooped up too long in the house and we went for a walk! Mom said she walked the feet right off of me. I sure was tired when we got back to the car. It was a good walk though! We saw lots of birds and the Mallard Family was out swimming on the pond. I barked at them and they quacked at me! The big tall water bird with the flappy wings was there too. We even went to the store after that and bought Dad a paper. I'm really tired now. I'm laying down on my blanket but I rearranged it so I have a spot to sleep on and Penny has a spot too.

P.S. PennyCat here. That Crazy Fred finally left his blanket out and I rolled all over it, like he does with my blanket. And I moved it. I know that makes him crazy when his stuff isn't where he left it. He tried to find me but I was hiding up high from him. I think I might do it again tonight. Mom says I'm instigating. That must mean that I did a good thing! Meow Meow, PennyCat!

Dear Terry, Me and Mom were going to go for a walk today. It's raining. Kindof ruined everything. Mom even had the leash out. So I laid down to think. Hmmm What to do on a rainy day. I know! I ran and pulled my blanket off my bed. It's the big one. I dragged it into the kitchen. Then I hurried up and got my scrap of bone from under the couch. Just the thing for a rainy day! This was going to be so much fun! I hide the scrap in the blanket, shake the blanket up real good and then the bone comes flying out and lands somewhere! I played until I was out of breath. Whew! Maybe tomorrow me and Mom can go for a walk. I'm going to take a nap now after all that fun!

Dear Terry, Dad's Home! He still has a bum foot but that didn't matter! He was still able to play ball with me just like Mom said! In honor of him coming home, I dug out my pig ear that I had put in my special hiding spot, and brought it out to eat right on his foot. It doesn't get any better than that! Dad took a nap after awhile. I was right there to watch him breathe. I kept touching him with my nose to make sure he was still ok. When Dad woke up we played the blanket game and then we played the tunnel game and it was great fun! As soon as I woke up this morning I ran and found Dad and made sure he was OK. He was! Whew! Because I had kind of dozed off last night after all the excitment!

Dear Terry, Me and Mom took a field trip today! First, we took care of PennyCat. She was hungry. I always help Mom make up her food bowl. I get to lick the spoon clean of smooshie food. Yum! Then me and Mom went outside and it was all windy and leaves were blowing all around. That always makes me act silly. Mom said I have an idea Fred! We went back inside and she grabbed her keys and away we went! Nature Park here we come! Oh the leaves were really blowing all around there! I was jumping and snapping at them, trying to catch them. What fun! We walked all through the mud and the leaves. We had acorns fall on our heads too when a big gust of wind blew through the trees. It was great! After all that excitement, Mom turned the wrong way out of the park! I thought for sure we were going to the Tractor Supply store. Nope, we drove right past it. Mom took a new to me road and we ended up at the Burger Palace for some breakfast! Then of all things, I heard Dad's voice in the car! I've been missing Dad since his bum foot has him at the Hospital again. Mom's been keeping me busy with all kinds of stuff to do. I still miss Dad. Mom says he will come home soon. I hope so. Yesterday, I collected all my toys - Spot, Mr. Bubbles, chew stick, Yellow Puppy, the special balls from Grammy, my blanket and Dad's blanket and put them all in my bed. That way Dad will know where to find all of them. When he comes home, Mom said he will play games with me for sure! I'm Ready!

Dear Terry, There is a lot of noise in the neighborhood today. My pal Cheyenne next door started all this crazy barking early this morning. I woke Mom up right away. We looked out the window together to see what all the commotion was about. Mom said Oh! It's a Tree Truck! I didn't know what that was so Mom told me it cuts down big big trees. We watched it pull into the neighbors yard a few houses away. Cheyenne was barking like mad and running all around. Mom put my leash on so we could go outside and see better. Cheyenne had to go back inside she was to excited. Mom said we could stay outside and long as I didn't act like a loon. You should see how big that truck is! We watched it drive through the yard all the way to the back and the men rode high up in the air in it. It looked like they were flying. I've never seen anything like it! It was pretty neat! Lots and lots of noise though. I don't like that part. We went back inside but I'm going to keep watching from the window. Best seat in the house!

Dear Terry, Sometimes Mom goes to the store and good things happen! Like I get treats. Or she brings home Snacks. Or a new collar. Today Mom went to the store and I don't even know what to say. At first I was all excited she got me something! I didn't smell any food so I thought, must be a collar! Or maybe a new coat for winter! She got me bats for on my head. Sparkly Bats. Mom said they will look great with my Halloween Costume. I'm a skeleton every year you know! Now THAT'S cool, a skeleton! I dunno about bats on my head. Even Dad said Oh My Gosh, Bats on his head! I ran to Dad and avoided Mom. She took my picture anyways. Woof.
Barks and Bats, FredDog
P.S. Penny Cat here. If cats could laugh, I would. Meow Meow!

Dear Terry, Today Mom ran an errand, but I wasn't allowed to go with her. When she came home I was very excited! Dad took me out to meet her and he let the leash go so I could run to her. I'm good at that. I run right to Mom like I'm supposed to. Only I didn't. I was so excited I ran past her right to the car and pawed at the door so we could go for a ride! FRED! Mom caught me and we went back inside. That's OK because Mom came home and that was very exciting! But then Mom had to go to work and that wasn't so exciting. Dad came up with a good idea later on. He said, Let's make pierogie! Now THAT is exciting! And guess what! PennyCat came out to help us! Me and PennyCat don't do a whole lot of stuff together. Probably because I end up barking too much. This time I helped Dad chopped onions and she laid down and watched us work! Dad talked to both of us as he worked. It was very nice and I laid down not far from PennyCat. What a great time it was! I hope PennyCat does that more often!
Barks and Wags, FredDog
P.S. PennyCat here. FredDog was being really good today. We had the best time watching Dad work in the kitchen. He talked and talked to us. Fred even stayed calm enough to lay down and he kind of dozed off. I still kept an eye on him because he can get to barking at the the silliest of things. When Dad finished cooking I said Meow Meow and went to find a quiet place to sleep. I thought about going over to FredDog but decided to Let Sleeping Dogs Lie. JuneauCat told me that. But I was tempted to bonk him on the nose just because! MeowMeow PennyCat

Dear Terry, Today was Cleaning Day! Mom didn't tell me. I don't like cleaning day because the Vacuum comes out. Both Mom and Dad Vacuumed! I ran around barking at it. Then Mom cleaned the bathroom and I could smell the stinky cleaner. It makes me sneeze. But we did some fun stuff too! Mom got me a new ball!! I was so excited I couldn't stop running and making it roll all over the house! Mom would throw it and I would run around some more. It's real slippery and it's hard to pick up so I make it roll more with my nose. Mom took me outside and I chased the neighbor's cat. I'm not supposed to chase Penny Cat but no one ever said anything about cats in the yard! Mom made me sit down and calm down. Dad's making grilled cheese now I can smell it. I bet he makes a little one for me! He knows how much I like cheese and Dad comes up with some good stuff for me to try out. I bet it will taste great!

Dear Terry, Me and Mom had a big scary today. Don't worry I was there to protect Mom. It started out as a great trip to the Puppy Park! Except we were the only ones there. Probably because it was so rainy and chilly outside. I don't mind that if we go to the Puppy Park! But then someone else came to the park. But he didn't have a dog. He stood at the fence watching and trying to talk to Mom. He tried to make friends with me but I know a Weirdo when I smell one. I went over to the fence and showed him all my teeth and let him hear me growl. I have a good growl when I need to. He kept talking but backed away from the fence. Mom wasn't being so friendly. Mom knows a Weirdo too when she smells one. Or maybe when she sees one because she doesn't smell as good as I can. She knew he was a Weirdo though. Mom spoke real softly to me so only I could hear. It's usually a game we play. Only it came in handy today! Like a secret message. She said let's go. And I knew to go to the gate real fast. That crazy man kept talking and talking. I made sure to go out of the gate first and I came out snarling and growling so crazy man stayed away from us. We got to the car safe and sound! Mom said the foaming at the mouth was a nice scary touch! I got big pets from Mom and a big kiss on the head! As soon as we got home I ran and told Dad and PennyCat everything! I still had some foam on my face so I might have scared PennyCat.
Love and Woofs! FredDog
P.S. PennyCat here. That FredDog came charging in the house like his tail was on fire. I thought maybe he was rabid because he had foam on his mouth. I ran and hid. Best thing to do when he is all wound up. He's a nut. I guess he protected Mom so he can't be all bad. I won't bonk him on the face today since he did a good job. Meow Meow!

Dear Terry, Me and Mom had quite the adventure today! It all started with Dad leaving. He took his cane and walked down the driveway and then up the road. It was very distressing to me. Mom said Don't worry Fred, He is going to take a ride on the bus! A bus?? I bark at those. Mom said, No, not a school bus. A big bus. HMMPH. All I know is that Mom let Dad go out of our sight. I sat in the window and whined and whined. How could Mom let him disappear over the hill?? I barked at Mom. I didn't understand. Mom wasn't upset so I thought maybe Dad is OK even though I can't see or hear him. I barked some more because I didn't know what to do. Then awhile later, Dad called. And Mom got her keys. Dad missed the bus. I barked at Mom. See what happens when we let Dad out of our sight?? He missed the bus! Mom still wasn't upset though. I didn't understand. I ran to the door, I was GOING with Mom no matter what. And she said Let's Go Fred and I ran to the car. No time to waste! Then we drove to a new place to me. Mom called it a Walmart. It must be where the bus goes because there was Dad!!! It was very exciting! He had all kinds of stuff in bags. Dad was so happy about his trip on his own that we went to the Burger Palace to celebrate. You can't imagine how good it was to see Dad so happy. I'm still not so sure about Dad going on his own to the Bus Palace though. I can't keep an eye on him there. But he was happy and we took a nap together when we got home so everything is OK now!

Dear Terry, It started happening again. Those stupid stink bugs are getting in the house. I bark at all of them. I don't stop until Mom or Dad gets the Stink Bug Collector and gets the bug. Last night there was a big one on the ceiling. At first Mom didn't pay attention to what I was barking at, so I kept barking and looking at the bug. Once she saw the bug she said Hold on Fred! And she ran right away and got the Stink Bug Collector. I followed her to the door to make sure the bug got outside. Dad thinks I'm a loon but he's never eaten a stink bug so he doesn't know how bad I hate them. Mom's never eaten one either, but she knows how much I hate those bugs. BLEH. Stupid Bugs.
Protecting the house from stink bugs,
Love and Woofs, FredDog.

Dear Terry, We had another exciting day yesterday! Me and Mom and Dad all went for a walk in the park. Dad didn't even have to use his cane! He walked with us. I was careful to walk slow so that we didn't lose Dad. I didn't have to worry though, Dad walked right with us. We walked all around the ponds and looked for frogs and toads. We went in the cottage to see all the stuff. We looked for bluebirds in the big field of flowers. I smelled poop. Dad didn't even have to stop to rest. When we headed back to the car, Dad beat us to the car he was walking so good! It was a good walk and a good day.

Dear Terry, What a day! First me and Mom took a walk in the morning all around the yard! I found where Mr. Skunk has been spending his nights! Right by the willow tree. I peed on the smell. Mom reminded me that we never want to meet Mr. Skunk because he will make us all smelly like him. Then I helped Mom change the sheets on the bed. What fun! She makes the sheet fly high in the air and it floats down around me. I bark and run around on the bed until I can catch an end and then I roll all up in the bed! Then Mom unrolls me real fast and we start the game again!! Oh and then we went to the park for a walk. There were a bunch of dogs there this time. One was barking at me as soon as I got out of the car. He was really small and full of barks. I barked in his face and he stopped barking at and yapping at me! Then we met a great big brown dog. He likes the water. He barked at me but he was friendly. I told him I don't float so I don't swim. We both barked at that! I saw some toads too. OH and best of all. I found a groundhog hole. Stuck my head right on in and boy was Mr, Groundhog upset about that! All kinds of squeals came out of the hole. It was very exciting! Mom said OOOOOO we had better go Fred! He's mad! So I trotted away with Mom. But I kept looking back. I've never seen a groundhog up close and thought I might be missing something! Mom said maybe we should add Mr. Groundhog to the don't meet list like Mr. Skunk.
Hope you had sheet chasing, skunk smelling, groundhog squeal kindof a day too!

Dear Terry, The bestest thing ever happened this week! Dad came home! It was super exciting. I saw him in the car with Mom and I scratched at the window! Then I ran barking to tell Penny Cat, Then I ran all around the house barking and barking until he got in the door and I threw myself down at his feet for tummy rubs!! I jumped back up and ran and ran and ran around a lot. Dad sat down and I was right in his lap. I smelled him all over to make sure he was OK. Dad is back!!! I scared Penny Cat because we didn't see her for hours. I didn't mean to. So I ran around some more looking for her to tell her about Dad. Then I ran back to check on Dad again and again and again. We finally flopped down for a nap! It's so good to have Dad home!

We finally flopped down for a nap! It's so good to have Dad home!

Dear Terry, Me and Mom had lots to do tonight. When Mom got home, I ran to the door because I wanted to go for a walk. It seems like FOREVER since we've gone on a walk. Mom hurried up and did a few things and away we went! It was almost dark so we didn't walk for long. But it was great! THEN we went to run errands. We ran to a couple of different places that Mom had planned out. All of them had drive up windows like the Burger Palace. At one, the nice lady gave me a treat! How great is that! Just for coming to her window I got a treat! We came home to watch some baseball. Penny Cat might be mad at me. I made her all fluffy because I was so excited to be home I barked right in her face. I'm not supposed to make her fluffy. I helped Mom clean too. Oh and we put together dinner for tomorrow too. WHEW! I am so tired! Mom put the baseball game on and we sat down together to watch it. I think I might be ready for a nap!

P.S. Penny Cat here. Fred is a loon. I thought walks were supposed to tucker him out. No such luck today. That crazy dog ran in the house and right in my face. I yowled at him and bonked him on the nose. He knew he was in trouble because he sat down and looked all sad at Mom. She yelled at him for scaring me. He's watching baseball now. But I'm not coming out until that looney FredDog is sound asleep. Meow Meow... PennyCat

Dear Terry, I've been down in the dumps. Still no Dad. I don't know what to do so I chew on my feet and think about Dad. Mom got a phone call tonight and she sounded pretty happy talking. She turned to me and said, It's your DAD! But I didn't believe her. THEN it was MAGIC. I heard DAD!!!! I ran through the house looking for him! He was calling my name but I couldn't find him! I ran back to his voice and it was in the phone! How could that be??? My tail was wagging really really hard. It was so good to hear DAD! I pawed at the phone. I wanted him to be here! I tugged at Mom's arm too but no Dad came out, only his voice. So I flopped down next to Mom and I put my ear to the phone so I could hear every word he said. That made Mom laugh! I listened to everything Dad said. I even woofed back at him! Maybe Mom could make that phone work tomorrow too. Dad sounded pretty tired but I think we had a good talk!

Dear Terry, Still no Dad. I don't know where he is. I keep sleeping in his spot on the couch. I know he is going to come home. Mom said so. I still miss him. Penny Cat does too. She told me. I did get to see Grammy today! She and Mom went to see Dad. Mom didn't bring Dad home. When Mom came home, she let me out on the deck. I fell asleep. This business of watching the house when Dad isn't here is hard work! Even Penny Cat said so. While I was asleep I heard a bzzzzzz. I know what that is! the angry bees are back!! I ran inside barking and barking and got Mom right away. She came to see what all the noise was about and I showed her the bees! I went inside like she said to and watched from the door. She killed some of them with spray. She said she will kill them all tonight when they are in the nest. Mom said they aren't really bees but mean and angry yellow jackets. I don't care what they are called, all I know is that I don't want to be stung on the mouth again. Mom said Don't worry Fred, I will make sure they are really gone this time! I think she meant it too!

Dear Terry, Something is going on here. I don't know what! But something is. Mom is packing stuff. But my special bag isn't out and Penny Cat's special bag isn't out. Mom is only packing Dad's stuff. Dad must be going somewhere. Dad is nervous. I can tell. I'm good at telling stuff. Only I don't know where he could be going. Dad is always here. Always. I know because I keep him company. Mom said he's going away for a few days because he needs to get better. Well, he can get better here if you ask me. No one ever does ask me though, probably because I'm a dog. When he gets back I'll take care of him. Mom made Dad smile because she went to the Cheeseburger Palace like he asked her too! I hope Dad comes back smiling.
Worried, FredDog

Dear Terry, OOOO Mom and Dad had a fight! Over a corn cob! Dad gave me the whole corn after he was done eating. What a great treat. All kinds of buttery goodness left over on there. Mom said HEY! No way should he have a corn cob! And it's making a mess all over the place! Dad said let him have it! I agreed with Dad on this one even though we know it's Mom that is always right. I took the corn and ran! Dad found me though and took the corn away. Not before I ate a bunch of corn and butter off of there! YUMMY!
Love and Woofs FredDog!

Dear Terry, Whew! I am pooped out! First I had to take care of Dad today. He was sleeping so I had to keep watch over him and I didn't sleep. Then me and Mom took a really long walk in the woods. We saw lots of stuff in the woods and we walked slow so we didn't miss anything at all. And if that wasn't enough excitement, when we got home Dad fired up the Cheeseburger Machine to make Burgers! And if you think the excitement was over with that, think again! Dad made me a Mutt Burger all of my own! It had cheese and everything on it! Mom put it on my snack plate so I could eat at the same time they ate. YUMMY! What a great Day!
