Cave Canem

Cave Canem

"Beware of the Dog"

As I was taking a little break from cleaning the refrigerator today, I walked through the living room and saw our dog, Hershey, lounging on the couch in front of the fire. The Latin words "Cave Canem" immediately sprang to my mind and I had to grab my camera.

In our homeschool we are using, "Latin Everywhere, Everyday" by Elizabeth Heimbach this year. Each day we learn a Latin phrase. I have been finding it incredibly interesting to learn how many common phrases are actually Latin phrases. An added bonus is that learning Latin phrases makes me feel incredibly clever!
