Q: Dear Meli, Do you get along with your chickens? What is your favorite dog? What is your favorite fish? What is your favorite sport? What is your favorite park? What is your favorite color apple? - Antonio

A: Hi Antonio! Thank you for all of your questions! Since red is my favorite color, I would have to pick red apples! My favorite dog is a West Highland Terrier, since that's what I am!

Q: Dear Meli, Hi my name is Daniela. What is your favorite color? My favorite color is pink. Are you naughty sometimes? I am not naughty ever. Do you know what shh means? Do you have a brother or sister? I have a brother named Antonio, he is my twin. I hope you send me back. I love you Meli. Love Daniela

Hi Daniela! I love your letter! My favorite color is red, like my ball! Sometimes when I play outside I chase birds and rabbits, even though I'm not supposed to. Keep reading! Woof! Meli

Q: Dear Meil. Hi my name is Lauren. I'm wondering where Meli sleeps? What do you eat? What's your favorite color? Do you have sisters or brothers?

A: Hi Lauren! Thank you so much for your letter! My favorite food is cantaloupe, but I also love baby carrots, peanut butter and dog cookies. I like to take naps in my dog bed and my favorite color is red. Keep reading! Woof! Meli

Q: Dear Meli. Hi! My name is Anika. We just finished reading the Problem with Meli. Do you fight with your parents? What is your favorite color? My favorite color is silver. Is Meli a teenager? What kind of dogs do you like? I like puppies. Puppies are cute. Do you like fruits and vegetables? I like Meli. Meli is so cute.

A: Hi Anika! I loved reading your letter! My favorite color is red, like my ball! I am 11 years old, so I'm not a teenager yet! I like fruits and vegetables. Cantaloupe and baby carrots are my favorite! Keep reading! Woof! Meli
