Ice Cream Breakfast

In my family every birthday and Fourth of July we have a special breakfast. We make homemade waffles. For Birthdays we put vanilla ice cream on top with lots of topping too! On Fourth or July though, we have every bodies favorite ice cream, plus toppings! You should try this tradition too!

Teach Your Cat/Kitten To Sit and Lie Down!

For Sit: face your cat and hold a treat in front of him/her. Saying "sit" slowly move the treat slightly up and over its nose. As its head follows the treat, its back end will naturally go into a sit. Immediately give it a treat.

For Lie Down: While its in the sit position, take a treat in your fingers and move it slowly to the ground. As you do this say down. As soon as it goes down, give it the treat. Do not push the cat down, but put a little bit of pressure on the shoulders if you have to.

Teach Your Dog Some New Tricks!

Circle

With your dog facing you, take a treat and lead your dog's nose to the right and around your body. Let him follow the treat all the way around behind your back and around to the front. Give your dog the treat and praise him. He will be making a complete circle around you.

Shake

Start by having your dog sit. Say, "Shake hands," and take his paw with your hand. Hold his paw and say, "Good dog!" Let go of his paw. Do this a few times every day.

Wave

Your dog should know how to shake hands before learning this trick. Face your dog and hold out your hand as if you are going to shake. When your dog lifts her paw to shake, don't grab it, just pull back your hand, and say "Wave". Then give your dog a treat.
