Only the Gentle

I love coming home to this surly face! #wednesdaywithernest

April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals month. Our ig friend @ichaity is posting orange themed photos to help raise awareness. Today, Ernest and I are going orange, too. #iorangeforichaity

Ernest spends his day reading short stories by his literary namesake. #ernesthemingway #reader #thebookhog #harrypotterglasses

"And that's when he finally tells me his name is Ernest. I'm thinking of giving it away, though. Ernest is so dull, and Hemingway? Who wants a Hemingway?" #pariswife #paulamclain #literaryhog

"Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it." #veronicaroth #divergent | Have you seen the Divergent movie!? So good! As a YA book fan, I love the story and was so happy with its translation into film version. Read the book and watch the movie! #divergentmovie @divergent #yabooks #thebookhog

A year ago today, Ernest Hedgingway came into my life. So grateful for his gentle spirit and ever curious nose. He is my persnickety joy. Happy one-year petiversary, Tiny! #petiversary #agirlandherhog #tinylove #heartsprinkles

Ernest turns 1 in a week! 🎈Since I love birthdays and Ernest, to celebrate, I am hosting a contest. All you have to do is take a photo of something/someone you love...show us what makes you really happy! Then, post and tag your photo with #ernestshappydaycontest and @ernest_hedgingway (feed must be public or I can't see the photos). Simple, right? The photo that shines with the most love and happiness will receive "A Year With Ernest" Calendar. In addition, there will be four runner-ups who will receive a feature on our feed. Contest ends on Ernest's happy day - January 16 🎈 *Note: have fun and be creative! #maytheoddabeeverinyourfavor #tbt #babyernest #contest #ernestshappyday
