Hi all,

I may be small but I'm beautifully formed, says my mam.

luv Frodo.

Dear Auntie Tessa,

I am fit and well after my jab, I run very fast now so they have a job to keep up with me. I also have 2 big furry friends called cats living here, the only thing is if  I want to play chase they cheat and hit me with their spiky feet.They have big fluffy tails that I can hang on to for a ride. I can bark now which makes everyone laugh. We have a little twolegs coming to stay next week from Monday to Thursday so the big ones said they can come to take photos next Friday if that is ok. Watching me and Little Twolegs would be too much. I nearly went for a swim the other day there is a hole in the garden called a pond with very interesting yellow things in it, but the big ones wouldnt let me play with them, I think I will try again when it is warmer. Hope to see you on Friday afternoon.  Love Frodo     PS  Mum says we are quite mad but harmless

Dear Aunty Tessa,

Mummy two-legs seems to be a bit funny at present, she keeps barking like an old Great Dane, holding her head and saying, "this bloody cough!" She takes pills and stuff all by herself and then goes up some steps to where she has a huge basket to sleep in but she keeps bringing me back down the steps to where my toys are; funny things these two-legs. I'll write again when mummy two-legs stops barking.

Love Frodo.

Dear Aunty Tessa,

Mummy two-legs is still doing that barking thing and doesn't look very well at all, now she has some more piils and some jollop to take. Daddy two-legs broke the sticks off his glass eyes the other day and had to get them fixed, as he was passing your kennel he brought you some of that paper stuff in bags that we used to go on when I lived with you. I'm OK, I like playing with the cats, now I chase them but sometimes they chase me but I can now dodge when they try to hit me with their spicky feet. Mummy two-legs says that she will bring me to see you again when she stops barking.

Love,

Frodo.

Dear Aunty Tessa,

Sorry that I haven't written to you for so long but the two-legs wont let me use the magic writing machine unless they are watching me. The other day mummy two-legs took me out of her big kennel to outside where there is no roof and no carpet but there is lots of space for me run around; the cats go outside as well but they just sit on a funny chair or a wall and watch me. There are some thngs that wizz around without touching the floor and the cats are very interested in them. One day mummy two-legs took me up some big steps, I couldn't get up them before but I can now, then thro' a magic closing gate to upstairs outside. She had a lot of wet cloths or blankets or something and she stuck them onto a funny little tree; some of the cloths were long nearly reached the floor so I jump up and grabbed one and pulled and the funny tree turned round so I pulled again and it went round again and again but mummy two-legs got cross and shouted at me so I just ran around on a funny spiky green carpet that made my belly all wet. Then lady two legs next door came to speak to mummy two-legs so I thought I would finish putting the wet stuff out to dry. I thought I did a pretty good job as I had it all spread out on the green spiky carpet but mummy two-legs wasn't happy and made me go indoors while she picked it all up, you really can't help some two-legs; I'm tired now so I'll have to stop and have sleep.

Bye for now,

Frodo.
