Dear Meli, We just read Taking Care of Meli. I heard you like to run in snow. Where do you sleep? Where does Meli like to go? – Abby, Roland, Jordin, and Ethan
Hi Abby, Roland, Jordin and Ethan! I love your letters and drawings! Thank you so much! I sleep in my red bed with my red blanket. It's super warm and cozy! I like to go to the dog park to play with the other dogs! Keep reading! Woof!

Dear Meli, Meli you are a pretty dog. Do you only eat dog food? What other food do you eat? Where do you live? What city do you live in? How old are you now? I think you are 5 years old! – Steven, Naila and Raman
Hi Steven, Naila and Raman! Thank you so much for your letters, you asked some great questions! My favorite treat is cantaloupe, but I also like peanut butter and baby carrots. I live in Massachusetts near Boston. I am 11 years old, but 5 was a good guess! My birthday is October 2nd. Keep reading! Woof! Meli

Dear Meli, We are in second grade. We read 3 of your books. We like your stories. We have some questions! 1. Do you like going to the vet? 2. What are you learning in dog school? What do you want to learn? 3. Do you have dog friends? – Mrs. Levin's Class
Hello everyone! I loved hearing from you, you asked some great questions! Getting hurt was no fun, but they took good care of me at the vet so I am healthy now! In dog school I learned come, sit, slow down, jump, stay, and paw. It was a lot of fun learning new things! I have lots of dog friends, we play together at the park! Keep reading! Woof!

Hi Evan! I loved reading your letter, it made me really happy! Sometimes I bark at squirrels I see in the park, even though I'm not supposed to. My favorite thing to eat is cantaloupe, it's super yummy! Keep reading! Woof!
