Pet Pictures and Stories

The perfect place to show off you pet. If you want a puzzle of your pet, this is the place for you.  Here you will find pictures of pets and their stories.  When you send in your pet's pictures with their story we will post them on this website section. The picture of your pet will be turned into a jigsaw puzzle as well. If we get enough pets' pictures and stories sent in we will make other games from them. 

Here are some questions and answers that might help explain this new website section.

How do I get my pet posted?

This is really easy. Simply email me a photo or photos of your pet. In the email type something about your pet. lawanna@spfdbus.com ONE pet per email, PLEASE. Send as many emails as you have pets but please please one one pet per email. That means is you have three pets, please send three separate emails, one for each pet.

What kind of pets?

You can send photos of any pet you have. It can be a Gold fish, a dog, a cat, a bird, a lizard, a hamster, a goat, a horse... ANY pet will is welcome. Kids enjoy pictures and puzzles of all kinds of animals.

What kind of picture does it have to be?

Any snap shot of your pet will be fine.

What should I type about my pet?

Type anything you want to share about your pet such as: Pet's name, Pet's age, Pet's breed, something cute your pet does, tricks you pet knows, a heroic act of your pet, something special about how you got your pet... Just type anything about your pet that you want to share. Kids love reading about pets, seeing photos of pets and playing puzzles of pets.

How much do I have to type about my pet?

You can type as little as a couple lines or as much as several paragraphs.  That is up to you.  We will do our best to post what you send in.

What about my privacy?

We will NOT post YOUR name, email or address! PERIOD!

What is the purpose of doing this?

This is just something fun for families.  Hopefully it will be a way for families to show off their pets while raising enthusiasm for the Pet Show coming up in September.  Also it may be a way to encourage kids to read.  We will make puzzles out of the pets' photos and post those puzzles with your pet's photo. Puzzles of your pet's photo will be fun for families to have.  We will also use this section to post pet care tips and hints.

When will my pet be posted?

As soon as we get a few pets submitted we will begin making the puzzles and posting the pets photos and stories.

The Grant Beach Neighborhood Betterment Association is a group of citizens working together to maintain and improve the quality of living in our area. We meet monthly on a regular basis to address neighborhood concerns, and encourage residents to start smaller neighborhood watch groups in their block. We believe that people should actively participate as citizens in a democracy and as neighbors in in a community. We are a group of citizens interested in working together to maintain and improve the living quality of our neighborhood, motivate the city to address our concerns, be a spawning ground for neighborhood watch programs and build a sense of community among us. Working together, there is little that cannot be done, working apart there is little that can be done.

Mission Statement: "Improving the quality of life in our neighborhood"

This website is simply a tool we use to help keep our neighbors connected to each other, to their neighborhood and to their great City of Springfield, Missouri. Please consider attending the monthly meeting. Potluck Dinner for the whole family and Free child care for the meeting
