[Surnetkids] Dog Breeds

Dear Reader,

I was hoping the new, improved Surfnetkids Printables Club would be ready this week, but I still am working on solving one remaining problem. Stay tuned!

In case you missed last week’s topic, it was the Great American Solar Eclipse! Enjoy, and make sure everyone you love understands how to safely view a solar eclipse. NEVER look directly at the sun!

See ya on the Net,
