Greetings, fellow FETCHERs! If you're like me, you've spent the summer relaxing, swimming, and trying to return a pre-owned monkey you bought online by mistake (don't ask). But UNLIKE you, I've also been preparing the all-new, amazing, better-than-a-tummy-rub SEASON 3 of FETCH! with RUFF RUFFMAN!

The big news: 6 NEW KIDS! So, please, give a warm welcome to DJ, Harsha, Jay, Noël, Sam, and Samantha! They're going to have a great time doing a ton of cool things like neutralizing skunk spray, training to be secret agents, learning the art of street performing, and much, much, MUCH more!

The other big news: new stuff on my fabulous Web site! There's a new game called Germinator! You're a germ trying to infect a person. It's really icky... why is which it's so fun! And my floaty tugboat toy was stolen over the summer: play the new CSI game to help me get it back. Please? (I've also noticed someone skulking around my feathery hat. Who knows how long it will be until THAT goes missing!) Plus, new Dog Pound questions, FETCHer 101 questions, prizes, cast info, behind-the-scenes photos... AND I'll be putting my voicemail messages and BRAND-NEW monthly podcasts online, too. Wow! Is there anything I can't do? (Don't answer that. It's called a rhetorical question.)

The OTHER other big news: will Blossom return? Will my trusted assistant come back to once again act as my right paw? The answer is... I DON'T KNOW! Aaaaaaaaaaaah! (Okay, Ruff, get a hold of yourself.) As I write this, I don't know where she is. She left at the end of last season, and I haven't seen her since. But she just HAS to come back, doesn't she?

Of course she will! (Stay strong, ol' boy.) What better job could she possibly get than helping ME make the BEST SHOW EVER?

I guess we'll find out...

Anticipatorially yours,

Ruff Ruffman
