She swears that all of her friends saw "Fred" eating cereal. Or maybe "Fred" doesn't care for Froot Loops, although it would surprise me - I've yet to meet anybody who doesn't like them. He's also been going to bed with her for the past 4 days now. I think taking him back tomorrow might be a little tough.

He could teach my in-laws a thing or two about being a Good House Guest. He's even made a couple of Miis while he's been here. I'm hoping that School Girl will get better with the writing practice of having "Fred" around - she's supposed to record his adventures. Sadly, the cereal has been untouched since Saturday morning. But we're hoping to come up with something he might like to eat. Like quesadillas, or pineapple pizza...

A tragic soldering iron accident? Playing with matches? Then again, consumer safety regs being what they are and all that, maybe a lesson in why we approach strange dogs carefully might be more effective... "Wait! Come back, Fred! Fred!"
