Face To Face With Cute Animals!

Today we have a few animals for you which are too cute for words!Happy

This time all the animals pictured are looking right into the camera. What good little models they are. Others are actually asleep and were caught on film without them knowing it. Such is the case of the dog and the seal pup.

The ones which certainly are not camera shy are the mouse, the polar bear, and the pig, who smiles while brushing his teeth.

The kitty seems pretty spaced out, too sleepy to notice the camera.

Fun Animals!

Here is another installment of fun animals for you! We just could not resist, you know how it goes!

The thing is that we just keep getting more and more funny photos of animals! And, people have told us that they love to see their favorite animals in action!

And how about these shots? A mouse eating cereal, a chipmunk moving stones around, a sleepy pup passed out in the flowerbed, and a bunch of ducklings taking a swim.

We love the piggies the best of all. One of them is a little gardener (he would tell the dog off if he saw him!) and is eating chocolate!

My Dog Chews On Everything!

MY DOG CHEWS ON EVERYTHING

Have you every got home, gone up to your room, and then realized that your dog has destroyed your teddy bear? Or maybe he has even chewed up a pair of shoes?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then you pup has a problem and you have to take care of it soon before it ends up ruining all your furniture, clothes, shoes and stuffed animals.

It is normal that dogs chew things up. Puppies do it because they are cutting new teeth, and adult dogs do it because they are stressed or because they are cleaning their teeth or even because they are playing.

How can I make my dog stop chewing? It is easy. To make your dog stop this bad habit, you just need to give it another toy to chew instead. A toy of its own.

In pet shops they have lots of bones, ropes and chew toys that you can try out on your dog. Buy a couple and have patience. See which one it likes best and stick with that one.

Dogs especially like bones because they taste like meat and are hard to destroy. It gives your dog a new challenge.

If you don’t want your dog to be stressed then make sure to take it out for walks often. Dogs need walk and run off their leashes to release energy.

So now you know. Your dog’s chewing problem can be solved. You just need to give it new toys, time outside, and have some patience.

You might need to use tools that require adult supervision, such as glue gun and scissors. If so, these can be replaced by textile glue and safety scissors. Make sure you ask your parents some help.

You can combine the fun of molding salt dough and the ease of threading pony beads with this patriotic necklace. It’s perfect to wear for this year’s July 4th celebration or for Memorial Day or Flag Day.

What you’ll need:

  • Clear jewelry cord
  • Red, white and blue pony beads
  • Small star shaped cookie cutter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp water
  • Cookie sheet
  • White gloss acrylic paint

How to make it:

  1. Mix together salt, flour and water. If mixture is too sticky, add small sprinkles of flour until doughy.
  2. Flatten dough to about ½” and use star cookie cutter to cut out your shape. Make as many as you can from the dough.
  3. Place star(s) onto cookie sheet and poke a hole near the top of the star with a toothpick. Carefully move the toothpick in a stirring motion to cause the hole to get larger. It will need to be big enough to thread jewelry cord through.
  4. Bake in a 250 degree F oven for 2 – 2.5 hours. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  5. Paint star with white gloss paint and let dry.
  6. Thread jewelry cord through the hole in the star. Pull enough cord through until you have the length that you want for your necklace. Trim.
  7. Thread 3 white pony beads on to each end of the cord and tie in a knot at the top of the star. Begin threading cord with pony beads, alternating colors as you go (2 red, 2 white, 2 blue, 2 white, 2 red, etc).
  8. When finished threading on beads, tie cord into a solid knot and hang around your neck.

Tips:

  • You can purchase necklace closures at craft supply stores if you want to make this shorter and it won’t fit over your head.
  • Pony beads are available in a large variety of colors and can be purchased in small bags of individual and assorted colors as well as in bulk sized bags.
  • Salt dough does not keep well as it will harden. Make however many ornaments you can to cut down on waste.
