Week 18 #PictYourBooks Challenge

May I introduce the newest member of my family? Everyone, meet Hazel!

My family has never had a pet before, so getting a dog is a new experience for us. She's 12 weeks old. Right now she's stretched out sleeping on the floor right by me as I type this. She loves tromping through the snow, chasing tennis balls, and chewing on stuff. She's just learned how to run up and down the stairs, but sometimes her little legs miss a step and THUMP!

So pets are on my mind today which means pets are a part of this week's #PictYourBooks challenge:

Challenge #18: Share a book where a character has a pet. 

You have one week to submit your answer. Answers can be submitted three ways. Snap a picture of any book that answers the challenge and:

• text it to (715) 903-6455
• email it to PictYourBooks@gmail.com
• respond to @HelpReaders on Twitter

Please include the week number with your picture. You may also include who the image is from, like a teacher's name, and a description of how the book answers the challenge. Writing information on a sticky note and including it in the picture works great!
