PETEY'S POST! Hi Terry, It's me Petey. Wanted to take over and tell you what I did! Mom said she was very proud of me. Oh yes she did! That's what she said. Oh. Mom says to tell you The FredDog is still alive. This is all about ME. I caught a real live MOUSE last night!! It was lots of fun. No one was up though to show it too. Well, Dad was kindof up but he thought it was one of my toys. Nope, the real thing!!! And no one saw it!! BUT I left the insides of it on the carpet for Mom to find. Mom was so surprised this morning!! No one will ever find the body. It's in my secret spot. Mom says there might be more since the basement had that big hole in it. That's all fixed. I told FredDog maybe I will show him my secret spot one day. He didn't fall for that trick. Mom told me to catch more mice!! I can't wait for tonight to see if any come out. Mom said I did real good. I don't do a lot of good things so I want to be sure to do this again for Mom. And I did it all on my own with no help!
Mom says to tell you FredDog is doing good too. Not as good as this cat who caught a mouse, but he's doing OK. I haven't put his eye out. Yet.
ROARRRRRRR, PeteyCat, Official Mouser of the House.
it's the story of ME! and all the fun things i do in my forever home!
Me! FredDog

Dear Terry, Last night me and Petey and Penny were alone in the house. Nothing got wrecked. But Petey doesn't do so good if Mom or Dad isn't around. Mom and Dad went to a baseball game! I know because I could smell the city on them. Lots of good smells to smell. They didn't bring a hot dog home for me so I was a bit disappointed. Dad knows how much I like hot dogs! Dad is going to fire up the Burger Machine again this weekend and I bet he makes me hot dogs again! Today, Mom said I am going on a gigantic walk for being such a good dog this week with all the Fix It people here. Mom said we might go climb the Dog Mountain. That's what I call it because lots of people take their dogs for a walk up and down the mountain. It's a hard walk striaght up the side. Coming down is easier. Even Mom says so. Mom wants to see if her knee will work. I bet it will. But if she starts to limp I will help her out. I haven't figured out HOW yet but I will. Woof! I smell Sping in the Air! What a good day to be a Dog!

Dear Terry, Boy things have been loud around here! Fix It Man came and fixed the garage and tore down the root cellar. He sure worked hard. I know because I watched his every move and listened to everything he was doing when I couldn't see him or his helpers. Dad brought him in the house a few times and I made sure he passed my inspection. I liked him. He's a good ear scratcher. Me and Dad have been going outside after they leave to look at all the stuff that's been fixed. Dad and me walked all around. Dad can walk pretty good now that his feet are fixed. Penny Cat has been upset with all the noise and commotion. Mom made her stay upstairs so the root cellar work could get done in the basement. We don't like Penny Cat upset. Mom made up the back bedroom with all her favorite things. She had her tennis ball and food and water and a litter box. Mom even pulled a curtain back so she could see outside. Mom put the gate up so that I didn't scare her. No Scaring Penny Cat is Rule #1. Oh and Petey Cat fell in the bathtub this morning while Mom was showering. I guess he didn't mind getting wet at all - he didn't even squeak!! Mom dried him off with a towel. He sure is a clean cat. I don't like getting a bath. That Petey sure is weird. I wish he wouldn't tease me so much. I'm tired of being in trouble. Mom still says that I am the bestest dog in the whole wide world no matter what. Mom's always right!

Dear Terry, What a fun couple of days we've had here! First Dad got his boot off Friday so we went for a walk in the woods!! Dad was walking and everything! Then we went to see the Nephews and there was a Birthday Party! We like those! Uncle Tom and Aunt Linda and the Grandparents came. We had Chicken Tenders and Mac n Cheese for dinner. I like Chicken Tenders!Aunt Laura brought me some super special cookies to eat that were only for dogs! I helped get Nolan out of bed because almost everyone else was up and I even got to go into the basement! The drive was really long so me and Dad slept. We got home yesterday and I got in trouble right away because I chased Petey. It was good to be home!!
Love and Woofs, FredDog!

Dear Terry, Spring is here! I found crocus in the front yard that had bloomed and I peed on them! Then I found the daffadils had come up, so I peed there too! Oh and The Fix It Man came yesterday and he seemed OK so I stopped barking after awhile. He was real nice to Dad. He said he could fix things for us and Mom and Dad seemed pretty happy about that. Oh and it thundered yesterday. I tried hiding on the couch in my spot but that didn't work very well. Dad came to sit with me though until the noise stopped. I asked Dad to make it stop and he put his hands over my ears to help. Then we had Snacks!! That made the whole day better!
Happy Spring Terry, Love FredDog!

Happy Ham Day Terry! I am stuffed! I got to eat some Ham- lots of it actually- at grammy's house. I was a little bad there becasue I barked a lot when I got in the house. There were lots and lots of people. More than I have ever seen before in one spot! Mom got me and Dad situated in the sunroom though and I calmed down. That's when I got some Ham. Oh and a little kielbasa. With Mayo. I like Mayo. So does Dad! Dad gave me a potato piece too. I hope you had lots of Ham today!
Woof Woof Woof! FredDog!

Dear Terry, Lots going on here! Mom thinks you might be down in the dumps but I bet you laugh at all the things I have to tell you! First, the root cellar ceiling caved in one night. It's kindof outside but has a secret door in the basement. Then another part of it caved in and it broke the door down. Only Mom didn't know until Petey jumped in her lap late one night soaking wet. Mom investigated and Petey ran right outside in the pouring rain into the root cellar! He came right back though when Mom called him. And Mom made it safe so he couldn't do that again. Penny Cat was beside herself meowing and meowing all worried. Dad said the Fix It Man should be coming soon. THEN, Dad had his toe operated on because I couldn't fix one of his boo-boos. He was back the same day but he was all mixed up and he smelled like Hospital. He was still so mixed up the next day that Mom took him to Pap's house while she went to work. Grammy fed him good food and he slept. I wasn't allowed to go. But tomorrow I get to go!! Tomorrow is Ham Day. Mom says it is called Easter but I don't know why. Should be called Ham Day. Everyone will be there and everyone will give me HAM!! I like Ham. Oh! And earlier this week, Petey was helping Mom at the kitchen sink and he was looking out the window and WHIRRRRRRR. His tail made the soap dispenser go and he got soap all over his tail! Then he stuck his head under it to see what happened and he got soap on his head!! Mom said he smelled cranberry good after she got it all washed out! He sure was sudsy! I can't seem to stop chasing him. I try real hard to be like Newton but I really just can't help it!! Mom separates us a lot so that Dad can get sleep when he isn't feeling so good. Petey sleeps against the door and I sleep right on the other side so we know where the other one is. Unless Dad needs me then I sleep next to him. And Baseball is on TV! Me and Dad fall asleep a lot when the games come on. I like to listen to games. Sometimes I go over to the screen and watch close up!
If you are down in the dumps, I recommend Ham for both you and Newton! Yummy!
Love, FredDog

Dear Terry, I've been busy! My birthday was March 27. It was snowing and all yucky out so Mom said we would celebrate yesterday! And we did! Mom calls it my birthday, it's really the day she adopted me. To celebrate, Mom and Dad sang me Happy Birthday and I howled along with them. Then Me and Mom went to the Dog Park! THE DOG PARK! How could there be so much fun in one place! I got to play with a big Labrador Retriever. We ran and ran until we both pooped out and Mom was frozen from standing in the cold wind. I was covered in mud and spit and I didn't care! Mom got me cleaned up in the car. And I got to drink from the bottle instead of my bowl. Water went everywhere! Mom laughed because I had made such a mess. When we got home, Dad had a peanut butter biscuit waiting for me! Then I pooped out. I couldn't move an inch. I woke up this morning. It was a great day.

Me again. Guess what!? I saw my Pap and Grammy today!! Pap pretended to shoot me with his finger and I jumped in his lap. I couldn't get him to share any of his nut roll with me. I tried too. Then the neices came and there was more excitement! Everyone pulled up a chair to see vacation pictures and I got to sit in a chair too! Pap made the pictures go on the computer and he talked and talked and I listened. I ran around a lot too. I fell sleep on the couch. Oh it was so much fun!!! when we got home Mom and me and Petey all worked on getting along together. I only chased him once and the leash stopped me. And I listened to Mom and went right back to her and sat down and I got a spoonful of smooshie food! Can you believe it? Smooshie food because I listened to Mom and stopped chasing Petey. Petey was running all around too and I stayed right by Mom so I could show her how good I sit instead of chasing the cat. I almost lost it though. I was being good and doing my tricks for Mom, and Petey started playing with my tail. I stood there nice and calm and Mom distracted me with more smooshie food! Pretty soon I didn't even notice the cat hanging off my tail!
Love and Woofs, FredDog
P.S. Petey here. My best efforts to make FredDog crazy failed today. I tried running under his nose, eating his food, drinking his water. I even played with his tail, complete with hanging off of it. Mom had Magic Food though so I couldn't compete. Yet. That's ok, every day I am bigger, faster, stronger. I will rule this house. Penny Cat told me to pipe down. ROAARRRR , Petey

Dear Terry, Guess what came yesterday! SPRING! It was only for one day though so I'm kindof disappointed. Me and Mom walked all around the yard and checked on things. That's one of my jobs, check on things. We checked on the birds building a nest by the garage. And we checked on the cardinals in the tree, the birdie feeders, the mailbox, and the branches in the yard. Mom says once the yard dries out we will play pick up sticks! Oh and Mom was making a lot of stuff in the kitchen yesterday. I supervised to make sure that anything that fell to the floor was cleaned up right away! I like it better when Dad cooks because all kinds of things fall to the floor then! Today it's raining so I'm not going for a walk. Mom says she can find plenty for us to do inside to keep me busy!

Dear Terry, I almost lost an eye today. Mom says that's what I get for messing with Petey. I keep forgetting Newton's advice. Mom says I'm being a blockhead. Petey wanted to help Dad at the kitchen table and I thought maybe I could just get a little closer to see what was going on. Keep an eye on things. Well, I nearly lost that eye and I didn't even see anything! Hummmph. Mom took me on a really good walk in the woods. She said I needed to let off some steam. Guess what we saw! We saw The Mallards! They came back to the pond! They were talking away, going QUACK QUACK QUACK! Then we went to my favorite store, Tractor Supply. I almost forgot to stop for the Magic Doors! I was very excited to be there. We were getting some biscuits for me. We walked all around and Cashier Lady gave me treats and everything! We even stopped off to see the baby chickens. I'm very pooped out now. It was a long walk. Mom says a tired dog is a good dog. Hope I remember to be good when I wake up!

Dear Terry, I've been getting in some trouble lately. Big trouble yesterday when I tried to climb the kitchen table to chase Petey. That didn't work out so good for any of us. At least the table didn't tip over. Mom was there. I'm not really tall enough or a good enough of a jumper to make it ON the table but I got a foot up there. Kindof. The chair fell, Petey ran, I fell, Mom yelled. I guess I can add no trying to jump on kitchen table to the bad things to try list. Mom decided I need to go be with other dogs. At first I didn't know where we were going but then I figured it out! We went to the dog park. And as Mom says, I ran myself stupid tired with the other dogs! It was so much fun!! When you go to the dog park, you can run and bark and chase and dig and roll all you want! Mom took me home after a long time there. She had to come and get me because I was way far out in the grass and I had pooped out and was laying down. Mom loves me. You know how much Mom loves me?? She named her baseball team on the internet after me! That's a lot of love if you ask me!

Dear Terry, This is me in the park today! Mom's with me but you can't see her because she's taking the picture. Dad's with me too but you can't see him either because he's in the car staying warm. Petey's not with us because he's a Cat. This is my favorite tree. It starts out the beginning of my favorite trail. Sometimes I pee on it to let everyone know I was there. Me and Mom tromped all through the mud and then we practiced how to find Dad. Mom made me go pretty far into the woods and we couldn't see the car. I don't like to leave Dad. Mom whispered to me, Fred, Where's your Dad? And I knew just what to do! And I turned right around and me and Mom ran back through the mud to get to Dad in the car. You might be wondering why Mom whispered. We practice that too. It's like our secret way of doing things. Mom says something real quiet so only I can hear it. And then I know it's real important to listen to whatever she says. Dad always says me and Mom have our own language and he's right! We do! I love my Mom.

Dear Terry, Oh my GOSH did I have fun yesterday! Me and Mom only. Like we used to have fun before Petey. Mom took me for a ride to run some errands and we went to the park!! I didn't even care that it was wet and muddy! Me and Mom were at the park!! And there were other dogs there and we barked and carried on and everyone was laughing. We didn't go to close to the pond though because it was overflowing. Me and Mom were there a long time and it was so much FUN! We couldn't go on the trails either because they were muddy and Mom didn't wear her boots. But we walked all around on the grass and checked out all the buildings and then went up a partial trail but not very far. Mom showed me the bluebirds that were in the tree in front of us. Mom likes to look for different birdies. I bark at them. What a great day it was!! When I got home, Petey didn't seem so bad for some reason. Boy was I tired!

Dear Terry, I don't think me and Mom are going to get in a walk today. It's raining. That makes my feet wet and I don't really like that unless it's snow. But! we did take a quick walk outside this morning around the house and the backyard is all water! The creek is running really fast. AND there was racoon poop on the deck! How exciting is that?? Mom wasn't so excited about that though. I could tell because she didn't want to roll in it or even sniff it. Oh and yesterday, Dad was working with me and Petey. We are getting the hang of it! I try and stay calm and Petey doesn't put my eye out. I think it's the start to a good friendship. As long as he remembers Mom is all mine.
Barks and Wags, FredDog
P.S. Petey here. Fred seems to be getting nicer and I don't know why so I scratch him anyways in case he's pretending. But not when we are hunting the mouse. Then we work together. Wonder when he's gonna realize that Mom is all mine?? It sure would save him some scratches. ROOOAAARRR. Petey.

Dear Terry,
What a great day yesterday. Well almost a super great day. Mom was at work and me and Dad were watching some baseball on TV . And you know what? Petey came up to see us! I stayed really quiet and I remembered Newton's advice, no chasing Petey or he will try and put my eye out. In fact, We spent hours and hours looking for Mr. Mouse. He was under the sink in the kitchen. I can hear better than Petey and I heard him, then Petey heard him. And we waited. I can be real patient when I want to be. We waited and waited. We could hear him under there. Mom doesn't allow me to open cabinets so I couldn't open it. Petey kept saying just open the door Freddie! But I didn't listen to him. And before you know it, Mom was home! Oh boy the excitement! I ran right away to the door barking so she would know I was there waiting for her. Mom came in and was so happy to hear that me and Petey were getting along. And she told me how great I was and how great I was behaving. Then it happened. Mom turned her back to me to pet Petey! I forgot Newton's advice. How could My Mom do that??? I was right there in front of her and she turned her back! I charged right at Petey and cornered him and I got yelled at and sat down. Mom KNOWS when she gets home I get all the attention. Mom tried again to pet Petey and I got in trouble again. Stupid Petey. I come first. And Second and Third for that matter. Mom said she has to go back to the drawing board. I can't draw yet but I'm sure Mom will come up with something good.
Trying to be Mom's Favorite again.

Dear Terry,
What a great day yesterday. Well almost a super great day. Mom was at work and me and Dad were watching some baseball on TV . And you know what? Petey came up to see us! I stayed really quiet and I remembered Newton's advice, no chasing Petey or he will try and put my eye out. In fact, We spent hours and hours looking for Mr. Mouse. He was under the sink in the kitchen. I can hear better than Petey and I heard him, then Petey heard him. And we waited. I can be real patient when I want to be. We waited and waited. We could hear him under there. Mom doesn't allow me to open cabinets so I couldn't open it. Petey kept saying just open the door Freddie! But I didn't listen to him. And before you know it, Mom was home! Oh boy the excitement! I ran right away to the door barking so she would know I was there waiting for her. Mom came in and was so happy to hear that me and Petey were getting along. And she told me how great I was and how great I was behaving. Then it happened. Mom turned her back to me to pet Petey!

Dear Terry, Boy yesterday was a BAD day. First, Mom took me to the VET. That wasn't much fun at all. But my bumps on my side aren't anything to worry abuot. The Vet said they were Old Dog Bumps. Hmmph. Mom covered my ears but I still heard the Vet say that. Then Mom went to work and things went downhill from there. I cornered Petey and I snapped at him and Dad was there and we knocked stuff over in the bedroom and there was a big mess and I got yelled at by Dad. He didn't even have to tell me to sit, I did it on my own. Mom came home from work to the big mess we had made and she wasn't happy at all. This Be Nice to Cats thing is really hard for me. I tried to remember Newtons advice, but I got clawed in the face again. I just forgot what he said. Mom said that no matter what I do, Petey will try and scratch my eyes out. End of story. So I had better get this figured out.

Dear Newton, WOOFWOOF!! I would smell your butt if you were here! Boy I wish I knew all this before Petey came along. Mom says I'm going to lose an eye yet because I keep forgetting to give Petey space. And not to chase. And not to tease. And not to follow. And not to get mad about my bed. Sigh. Mom says it's a good thing I have a big nose to make way for all the scratches. Me and Mom have been busy today. We went outside to inspect the yard and sidewalks. Mom went back out after we found all the slippery spots and shoveled off all the slushy stuff to make them safe for us to walk on. I sure did get muddy! Oh and guess what! The deer were right in the driveway last night! Right by my favorite window! I barked to let them know I was there.
Love and Woofs to my Pal!

Dear Terry, Oh Boy was yesterday pretty exciting! The Electric Man was here and he knocked on the door and everything! I barked at him super loud so that Mom could barely hear what he said. I wanted him to know this was MY house! He was going to change the meter outside. He used a ladder and I saw him in the window and I barked even harder. I barked so loud I got the hiccups! Then he went away and everything was quiet. Mom says me and her are going to take a walk this weekend because it will be kindof warm outside. I can't wait!

Dear Terry, I was SURE today was going to be a spring day! It was so warm last night when me and Mom were outside in the dark. Mom woke up and I ran out of the bedroom to look outside....and more snow. Woof! That's not what I wanted!! I wanted SPRING to be here! We went outside anyways and didn't go far because we were both slipping and sliding in the wet gushy snow. My feet got really wet and I don't like my feet wet. I was going to run back inside until I slipped. I walked back inside. Mom said that was one of those times when I should have been thinking instead of doing because she nearly wiped out too!
Slipin' n' Slidin', FredDog!
P.S. Petey here. My plan to take over the house nearly complete! PennyCat stays away from me, FredDog gets in trouble if I even squeak a little. Today I am bigger, stronger, and faster than I was yesterday...ROARRRRRRR. Petey.
