who let the dog out
Today Michelle went to work and dad was working in the shed. I think dad got called into the phone and when we got back outside again the dog was gone. He did not realize that he left the door opened . Panic stations as we jumped in the car and drove around the neighbor hood with our window down and head out the window asking anyone and everyone if they had seen a brown and white cavalier roaming wild.
A lady not far from us had picked him up and put him in her shed. She was interested in keeping him but I said Michelle would kill me if I sold her dog. Dad will need to be more careful in the future.
Why blogging with your daughter is Great
From my point of view as Susannah's dad it gets her off all that social media like face book and makes her focus on writing and reading other blogs. It takes a lot more effort to learn blogging than to click around on Facebook.
From my point of view as Susannah, my dad and I get to do this together. I am learning new things. I just learnt how to change background colors. I have seen many great blogs already. Dad and I have taken many pictures of the birds and Ben the dog together.I am teaching dad a bit about Facebook. I am feeling down sometimes and take it out on dad but I don't mean to and have trouble controlling it.
We have also included Michelle, my sister, in this blog but we are having trouble getting her to write a post. she is happy to pose for pictures with her Benny.

How I got my kids off facebook and onto something more worthwhile
It is frustrating to see kids get wrapped up in technology. I have come up with some strategies that are helping me to relate better with my kids and make them more productive at the same time.
1.I got my two girls -the bird whisperers to start a business -of hand taming birds for people who want a friendly hand tame bird for their young child or grandmother.
2. I started a blog with them called hand friendly birds.
3. In the process I found out what accounts they were logged 
into and what they were doing on line and went for walks down by the river with them taking photos of Ben and the birds. I have found them very excited about the likes and comments they have been getting and there have been many opportunities in the reading and writing of posts and comments to discuss spelling and grammar.
4. this blog is doing way better than my own clarinet passion blog. It goes to show that you can get a better result helping someone else than you do for yourself.
I hope you like this blog and have nice things to say.
blue budgie hides in bookcase
Birds get into all kinds of places to escape being trained by our two expert bird whisperers. We had to pull a whole bunch of books out of the bookcase to find this little escapee. Before long he will be sitting tamely on the ends of the girl’s fingers as natural as if it is a branch in an idyllic woodland.
ben taking michelle to the bus stop
Michelle goes to work at red rooster and has to take the bus and a train. sometimes we take Ben to the bus stop to see Michelle off to work. He is a bit of a sook.
buddy
buddy is our hand friendly snow white cockatiel. He is snow white . There is no other colour on him.He has been with us for six years and loves hanging out on the end of people’s fingers.
Ben
Ben is the family dog. He really belongs to Michelle but I don’t think Ben knows that. Ben likes walks down by the river, food and lots of attention. He is a cavalier King Charles spaniel and is treated like royalty around here . In these shots Ben is sitting at the front of the town house guarding the front door.
blogging with my children
Suzy, Michelle and I started this blog because we wanted to do something together as a family. I had been tutoring other people’s children for a while and had wondered how blogging with my children would go. I guess blogging with your children is a bit like reading with your children except there is a lot of writing and other stuff involved as well. There are many opportunities to check spelling and punctuation and it is fun and engaging for them. They love their birds and I suppose the hand friendly and hand tamed bird thing gives the blog a bit of focus. We are still working on themes and appearance but that will come as we go along.
