Steps Simplified
1. print on to card stalk paper (thick paper)
2. cut
3. “Score Edges” [use exacto knife & ruler make an incision following the dotted lines. Make sure to not press too hard or else you will cut through it. The idea is to make it easier to bend. If you were to simply fold the edges, the thick paper will have crinkle lines & look unprofessional.
4/5. You can either assemble the project first (starting with the bottom) using hot glue OR Decorate it first. Decorating is usually easier to do 1st but it all depends.
& your done!

Some more box ideas:
Person Type___Project
Artist…..Paint Splatters (rainbow or primary colors)
Girly…..Fashion Magazine clippings
Musician…..stickers of guitars/ect
Candylover…..candy wrapper collage
animal lover… animal pic for each side
Animal lover…aquarium
{V-day}…….kiss (real lipstick) marks
Cheerful….rainbows & butterflies
“Tough”….scull & crossbones bio hazard
Sentimental…quotes you say to eachother
The list goes on & on & on!

In other words- walking on a loose leash.
This video quickly outines exercises to get your dog walking on a loose leash by your side. Put very basically FIRST you will teach the dog what you want them to do! And secondly, stop reinforcing them when they pull!

I demonstrate the exercise using a clicker, but if you do not have one, you can always use a verbal marker like yes etc. However you will get much faster and reliable results by using the clicker. If you hold the clicker in the same hand as the leash, and keep the treats in the other hand, you will find it easier to manage. Practice holding the leash, clicker, and treats when you do not have the dog attached to the leash yet, so you dont become overwhelmed.

A great book on loose leash walking, or how to stop your dog from pulling is-

My Dog Pulls. What Do I Do? by Turid Rugaas

You can get this book on www.dogwise.com and other places too. Its very short and has lots of pictures.

I would advise against using any forms of positive punishment when teaching any behavior, but especially leash walking, as startling or hurting a dog actually increases their stress hormones in their body causing the dog to be more hyperactive and more likely to become aroused and reactive towards other dogs and people (weather they want to greet them or not).

DO NOT DROP THE LEASH! I showed myself dropping the leash on a street with no cars/danger and another person there. This would happen during an emergency, if you trip or fumble. In no way do I support people who walk with their dogs off leash, you never can tell if a car will backfire, or who knows what, an earthquake etc with frighten your dog, and cause it to run into traffic. If you don’t like holding a leash, simply tie it to your waist like I do with my dogs. However walking in a safe place where dogs are allowed off leash is perfectly acceptable :)

Hello Onision, I hope this video finds you well, as it is to my understanding that you have had a strong impression on your young viewers here on YouTube about vegetarianism. I made this video to educate you and your viewers about vegetarianism and the misconceptions that you believe.
Most professed vegetarians are in the twenty-six to thirty-five age groups with comparatively few under twenty or over forty. Young impressionable people learn a little about ecology. Thanks to Onision we have learned that animals are brought up in unnatural surroundings and fed hormones and chemical supplements to make them grow faster or leaner, and that those substances remain in the meat which we eat. We have also learned that pollutants, pesticides and other toxic substances drain into our waterways and seas are eaten by fish which again we eat.
Onision knows that the protein he got from meat and fish is necessary for his health, but he learns that many vegetables such as cereals, beans, nuts, and seeds contain protein. Besides, he can ensure adequate protein if he supplements his diet from indirect animal sources such as milk, cheese and eggs — without having to kill anything. In Onisions videos he will lead you to believe that a diet lower in meat and higher in vegetables is healthier.
Then Onision will tell you that meat production is a waste of the earth’s resources. The high quality grain which is fed to animals which are then fed to us would be used more efficiently if we did without the animals and ate the grain ourselves. Not only would that grain feed more of us, but he believes the grain could itself be used to grow even more grain to feed the starving. It soon seems clear to the impressionable kids watching his videos that in our modern world, where a third of the population is starving, meat production by any country must constitute waste of criminal proportions.
Onision has had to sacrifice the pleasure of eating meat, which he had found to be very palatable, but his conscience is clear and he is assured of a healthier life.
Unfortunately, it isn’t as simple as that. Onision knows a little, but the adage that ‘a little learning is a dangerous thing’ was never truer than in this context.

Onision will ask you how can you justify killing an innocent animal for food? This question may seem difficult to answer at first but really it is not. Would it be reasonable to ask a lion to justify his killing of an innocent gazelle? Of course not: it is natural for the lion to kill the gazelle and that is justification enough. And what of a gazelle’s right not to be eaten? If you put it this way, you can see that such questions are really meaningless. The same is true for us, for we are not a vegetarian species.

But, if the desire not to kill animals is Onisions reason for his stance, then he should know that, when land is farmed for food crops, more animals are killed.

Most vegetarians are motivated, at least in part, by their view of the immorality of exploiting animals. Most of them, of course, are city dwellers that have never had the experience of working on a farm.

Crop agriculture is devastating to small amphibians, reptiles, nesting birds and mammals. Even the occasional larger mammal is injured during the cropping process. Unavoidably, the plow destroys burrows and young. Harvest machines kill some animals directly and expose others to the tender mercies of predators.

If Onision is as passionate about these animals as he claims he is, then he must simply starve himself to death.

Onision, I await your response.

Hero Dog

Incredible footage of a Chilean dog saving another dog on a dangerous and busy highway in Santiago, Chile, South America.

(UPDATED) Translation: “These images seen from the surveillance cameras show a very common situation with our overpopulated highways. It is normal for us to see dogs run over. In the video, we can see this dog fighting for his life because he was run over by the vehicle.

“What is very touching is to see the very heroic actions of this other dog who is trying to pull him to the side of the highway. We are going to keep seeing things like this until we find a solution to the dogs living on the streets.”

It seems the truth of this story has been lost in the amount of press its received, due to this it has now been unconfirmed on the dog surviving.

A newspaper reader from Chile said this:

“I read about this video on the paper yesterday and it said the dog that was ran over by the car didn’t make it through. It also said that a lot of people called the highway emergency number wanting to adopt the hero dog, but it was left on a street near Costanera an never found again.”
