Dear Kate,
Last night it rained like crazy. There was lightning and thunder everywhere.
Well it was about 11:30 and Dad figured I needed to go out for the last time. He took me to the spot and stood there getting drenched while I sniffed around for some familiar terrain. But I couldn't smell anything because of the rain. Finally Dad said, "I can't decide what's worse, getting struck by lightning or Boo making poopy in the house."

Dear Kate,
Today I embarked on my goal to dig a tunnel from Dad's house in Philadelphia to China via the garden. Dad caught me just before i got to Cleveland. Was he upset!
So after he soaked me he squirted me in the face just because my mouth and lips were coated with licorice root. How undignified. Anyway I cleaned up okay and Dad went to work.
