It's called "Violet the Vet" or rather "Viloet the Vet"!!!
(It's a bit hard to read the writing so I'll fill in the text - all spelling and grammatical mistakes included!)
In plumstd there s a very kind vet. And the vet's name is Viloet. Viloet help's animals get better. Today Viloet has one pashent. The pashent is a cat. Viloet can see that the cat has a very nasty rash. Viloet took the cat in the exmning room.
When Viloet was exmning on the cat Viloet relised that it wasent only a rash it was also pusing.it looked hoirbill. Viloet went out of the exmning room and went into the sitting room. She told the cat's oner that the cat would have to stay here for a little while until she got better.
A little while past very quikly and soon the cat got better and the cat got to go home. Viloet was very glad she could help.

Hahaha! Ah, thats awesome! Please tell Abigail I love her story :)
Hey Chad, nice to hear from you, I have an email in my drafts box addressed to you that just never got finished. Hope all is well in China. I had a surprise phonecall from Tanya on Sunday, was lovely to chat, can't believe she's been there for almost a month already.
Keep well and hopefully I'll get an email out to you soon!;-)
Dear Debbie, thanks for stopping by my blog and sharing your thoughts. I see that you are a trained teacher too. I've found that letting go of ten years of teaching methods and discovering the freedom of home schooling to be quite a challenge. There are many paradigm shifts you have to make. Trusting that you can in fact teach your own children being one of the biggest shifts. By saying that we can learn through everyday life I am by no means denying that school going children do not learn in the classroom-I am trying to show that life needn't be put into compartments-eg. we must only go to school to learn about something new, or we only go to church to learn about God. Learning happens all the time , in all places for all people.
Incidentally, not all home schoolers follow a structured programme for reading, writing and arithmetic. (We're generally called unschoolers/autonomous learners/life led learners) My daughter is 5 (6 in Jan) and I've sat down perhaps twice in her life to try to teach her to read only to find she had taught herself perfectly well through her life experiences.
Yes, I am being defensive-but as you felt it necessary to defend your beliefs I felt it was necessary to defend mine.
Thank you for reading our blog-I appreciate your comment. It's helped me to realise just how far I've come in changing my mindsets about education. I hope you will return and learn along with me.
Dear Debbie, I am sorry if I have been rude-must admit I was feeling rather angry and felt that I was being accused of not taking into consideration the feelings of others. Well, I guess I did exactly what I felt you had done!
Yes, I do realise that most parents of school going children take the time to teach their own outside of the classroom and I did not mean to imply that they don't. I know some wonderful moms (of school going children) whom I often learn some awesome life lessons from.
I hope you will accept my apology.
Hi Nikki, apology accepted, but none needed, I realised that I should probably not have posted that comment seeing as I don't know you personally. I didn't intend to imply that you had not taken the feelings of others into consideration. My feelings came from often hearing/reading comments by homeschooling parents implying (unintentionally) that people who send their kids to school don't care and are uninvolved in their education. Again, it is my interpretation of their comments and I'm sure that is not necessarily what they intended to portray but I just wanted to mention how it sometimes comes accross to us non-homeschoolers! I guess we can all be sensitive or defensive about choices we've made about many things. Also, tone is something that can't be properly conveyed in a comment or email and I was aware of this which is why I tried to make it very clear that I wasn't meaning to be judgemental or critical, I just wanted to "put it out there" as it wasn't the first time I'd felt that way. I have to admit that many years ago I thought homeschooling was wierd and didn't give it much thought at all, when I first met Taryn and she told me she was going to homeschool I thought she was crazy!!! (I have told her this by the way!!) But since then I have met (both in person and cyberspace) many homeschoolers and come to understand more about it.And I can now say that it doesn't threaten me as much as it used to. Fortunately we have found a school that is nurturing and has dedicated teachers who go above and beyond, but if that were not the case and if it ever got to a point where that was not happening or if we lived in the middle of nowhere or a foreign country etc. I would not be as afraid to homeschool as I previously was.
SO here's to happy life lessons wherever we are! Hope you have a good weekend. From Debbie
