Dear Master Dudley, that is a very scary story and I am so glad that you and your she-human are safe, sound, and scrubbed! Just one thought, what do you think your he-human is going to think when he reads this column?!

Stay safe, Dudley and Julie ❤️

DearJ. Dudley, somewhere in your ancestry, one of your forebears must have been babysat by a feline! You really must have 9 lives😁💚

Uff da, Dudley!!! You survived a close call. We are glad you summoned the courage to swim to your she-human and get back to terra firma! (That double bubble scrubbing was a grand idea) You look rested and ready for that next adventure.

Oh my goodness Dudley! What a scary story and I’m glad you are ok. I’m sorry you had to have a bath! I hate baths! My human left me with my friend Sue and she took off for Minnesota a few days ago. Then she is going to a place near you called the Oakwood Inn and then she will come back to me. I am happy though because my human friend spoils me. You take care of yourself and I am glad you know how to swim!

The Oakwood Inn is the absolute best! You will love the gardens! And Bridgette and Bill. And, and, and…the FOOD

I know as I have stayed there every summer for many years. Bridgette and Bill turned it into a lovely B&B!

My oh My Dudley, the mischief you do get into. You probably did scare your she-human to death. Good thing she knew to get both of you cleaned up real good. Be sure to reward her with lots of love and kisses. What a shame all this flooding is doing to everyone everywhere. No fun AT ALL.

Yes, so many people struggling. It's a short season anyway, but for many business, it will be devastating.

Oh my gosh, that was scary! My heart's still pounding. If that had been my cat, he would never have swum to me like that. He hates water, except to drink. Glad you're both okay.
