    ~ Show And Tell Friday~ Our Loved Ones ~

    It's that time again...

    I am posting a fast post b/c I am on my vacation. 


    I am sharing my beloved pets. 

    This is my sweet adorable cat Frankie.  He showed up on our doorstep a few years ago.  He is the sweetest, kindest cat we could every want.

     

     

     Her is Micha.  She really is my MIL's dog but because we live 30 from my MIL's  we also claim her part ours.  She gards our house from any bears, dear, and cougars.  Plus she just LOVES our boy's.  We are very blessed.

     

    We this is a Short and sweet post and could you all make sure you visit the other gals S&T's b/c I am at the homeschool conference this week end. 


     

    Now....

    *** Remember in Show and Tell Friday ...the best way to get a comment is to give a comment. ***

    If you want to join us

    just...

    ~Make a Show and Tell Post and make sure it is wholesome.   It can be pretty much what ever you want to share.  It could be about you ...or your family ....or what is going on in your homeschooling.

    ~Some how link me ( Canadagirl ) so others will know where to go to join S&T.

    ~Come back to me and  let me know you posted your S&T by using Mr. Linky. ( I need you  to tell me each week that you want to participate  , okay ? )

    ~If you want the S&T button to put on your blog go HERE

    ~Then , 
    please go visit other gals wonderful Show and Tells !



    "If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play! If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents. The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them be." ...Charlotte Mason

    Cute doggie & kitty Mary! Is that a German Shepherd mix? I'll leave our pet S&T up to our BookwormMN since it would be all the same and our weather has been bad all week (including now), so I can't get out there and take updated photos. Have a good vacation. I hope you are having fun at the Convention. What workshops are you going to? Who have you heard?
    Blessings,
    Jane

    Hope you're enjoying your vacation! I didn't post about my pets like you'd ask to last week because we have some new babies in the family and I am overdue posting about them, lol! I'd hate to have my great-niece and great-nephew feel that my dog and my chickens are more loved, lol!

    I linked, although I didn't really give a post. My entire blog is about my pets. I love them. They're my babies. (I don't have any non-fur babies). Check out my blog! I'm sure I'll enjoy reading about everyone else's pets.

    I'm sorry it has taken me a while to reply to your sweet comment on my website. I've been trying not to spend too much time on the internet, but then I get a bit behind...!
    No, I wasn't on Cindy's UHSE... must have been some other "joy" :)
    Your pets are so cute. I love animals. They just give our lives that extra special touch, don't they?
    Hope you are having a lovely vacation.
