We hear so many stories about kids being mean to animals or bullying or whatever.....
And then we hear stories about kids giving their allowances to shelters or birthday money or volunteering. Today we are thankful for ALL these kids - and the people who are helping them be animal people
So we wanted to take a minute to say how thankful we are for mom's niece. Mom calls her Fred and she has been sending the summers up here with grandma and grandpa for a few years now. And she goes with mom when she goes to the shelter and LOVES to come over to visit with the fosters here (she moves a little fast for us.....)
She and her mom go to the local humane society near them to pet and love on the animals as well.
We can work as hard as we want to save animals, but if we don't teach the next generation to do good things, then we have still failed. Mom is proud that Fred wants to help animals and is learning about what mom does - and still wants to help even when she sees the bad things. Fred lives with 2 kitties and the polar bear (see below)
mom: really? we are still on the polar bear thing??

great pictures and so cool to see fred grow!!
Uh, can't beat girl and kitty!
I am so happy when I learn about kids who genuinely love animals and are aware of the help they need. This new generation is the next hope.
Those are cute pictures. I like the one in which Fred has Doc on a leash. What a tiny cat.
When we see Fred, we want hugs, too. Ok, yeah, we get plenty of hugs and squirm away ASAP, but she looks SO nice.

I have to laugh as my nickname growing up was "Fred" too ;)
really is so nice to see her and the kitties. She is downright adorable too.
Fabulous Fred!!!!
Small humans like Fred are so awesome! And they are the ones who will do great things for future generations of kitties and other creatures!
Way to go, Fred -- and the whole family for helping teach her!

It is so great for kids to learn about animals and how wonderful they are and there is nothing better for the cats than to have a good child around them. Love the picture of Fred and Grandma. Have a great day.
What a sweet and wonderful girl Fred is! Thank you for sharing these pictures, and this post ... you made us smile real big!
What a wonderful post. Fred has a big heart. Love the pictures.
You're absolutly right, we've got to raise up animal lovers! I'm glad you let her help with your fosters! Maybe she'll be a fosterer herself one day!
Oh that makes my mom so happy to read. Good on Fred and her mom and family! xoxox
Thank you for visiting us! We came by to say hello!
What a great kid Fred is!!!
What a 'Feel Good' story and you are so right...with all the animal abuse in the news, it is obvious that compassion for animals starts at home, or through mentors like you, if the child is fortunate enough to have that influence in their life...
