Looking For My Furry Friend + Surprise Giveaway

April 15, 2013

It’s been almost 4 weeks since I got back to my home.
I’ve looked for My Furry Friend, FRED, everywhere in my backyard
but he is nowhere to be found.
For those of you who don’t know Fred, he is a chipmunk.
He the inspiration of this poem …
Fred, the chipmunk.
My furry backyard friend.
Makes squeaky chirpy blend.
Love to chase him but
he moves so quick.
Fred can run so slick.
Fred digs a hole
for his winter home.
Collects nuts and berries
to keep for his winter sleep.

He is also the inspiration of Sugar’s Furry Friend book written by mom.
NO FRED!

By now, he should be around.
I know the weather has been odd lately and might have confused FRED.

I’ve been sitting where Fred usually sits.
Hoping my scent helps out to let him know I’m back.

Every day, I keep on Woof! Woof! to my mom to let me out as I just want to hang out on the patio. She finally decided to leave the sliding door open … and let me decide to come in when I’m done searching for Fred.

I do admit that I’ve been mischievous each time I go out on the patio.
I’m just simply searching for My Furry Friend, Fred.
One reason mom decided to place my bed by the sliding door overlooking the patio.
Keeping an eye on Fred’s appearance.

Surprise GIVEAWAY!
We had multiple orders of Sugar’s Furry Friend book and decided to do additional re-prints.
Thus, we are giving away 4 copies of Sugar’s Furry Friend book.
LEAVE a Comment. The rest are optional entries.
a Rafflecopter giveaway

Hoping to see My Furry Friend, FRED soon …

Lots of Golden L♥VE n Woofs
SUGAR

    Ok, I never heard about Fred the chipmunk, but do you know that I have Fred the squirrel that comes to visit me in my window almost every day! I love chippers but we don’t have any, I have to go to Gramma’s or my cousin Lena’s house to see them but Fred is my squirrel. At one point he started coming with his friend so I named his friend Ralph. Do you have a Ralph too? I actually have 2 posts about Fred.

  27. Holly @ A Pet's Life says

    April 15, 2013 at 10:28 AM

    Oh Sugar,

    I feel so bad for you buddy, I’m sure Fred would be back as soon as he knows you’re there – Have you sent him a pee mail? I leave them all over the neighborhood when I’ve got something important to communicate! 🙂

    Good luck in finding him,

    Your pal Snoopy 🙂
