This sweet little shih tzu belongs to Sue McDonald. His name is Simon, and Sue says that he’s a wonderful little dog, very good with children and that he loves to be rocked. He looks like the perfect rocking chair companion to me, Sue!
Let’s welcome Simon to the Your Pet Family – another beautiful puppy that puts joy into the heart of his “mom” and everyone he knows.

Blessings!
Sue

The original Native speakers lived in central Alaska. Today there are less than 100 Native speakers of the 4 dialects of the…
A couple of weekends ago, my husband Neil and I had a wonderful weekend retreat with a group of friends. Most of us at one time or another had attended the same church and participated in a young marrieds Sunday School class. When our children were babies and toddlers, we scheduled this retreat every February,…
Michael K. Reynolds has written a great trilogy about Irish immigrants settling in American during the 1800s. I love historical novels, and I’ve really been “caught” by Reynolds’ novels. So you won’t be surprised to learn that our first free book in February 2014 is Michael’s SONGS OF THE SHENANDOAH, an Heirs of Ireland novel….
