3 5. THE LOREM IPSUMS FALL 2016 How Do You Take Care of A Guinea Pig? Taking care of a Guinea Pig is hard work. My least favorite job is cleaning their cage out. You should also make sure you clean their cage once a week. Guinea pigs love food like peaches and strawberry tops. My Guinea Pig, Oreo, favorite food is lettuce. They also like to eat hay. So feeding a guinea pig is easy. Feed them every day and watering is easy to do. The water can be changed every few days. Guinea pigs need a big cage to roam in. They also love it when you play with them too. By: Lindsey Guinea Pig Supplies 1. Cage 2. Bedding 3. A Little Castle 4. Toys 5. Water bottle 6. Food dish 7. food 8.

4 Family Reading Night Family reading night was awesome! There were games, refreshments, and crafts. For the games there was put the nose on the pumpkin, drop the pencil in the jar, and the skeleton relay. If you did put the nose on the pumpkin someone would spin you around and then you would try to put the nose, on the pumpkin. If you did, drop the pencil in the jar there was a skinny jar and a fatter jar, most people went for the fatter jar. And now for the skeleton relay you would have the body parts of the skeleton and you would try to put them on the wall before the other team did. The refreshments were great they tasted so yummy! For the crafts you could make a spider or a super hero. Like I said in the beginning, family reading night was awesome! Join us next month! By: Rylie Dog Care Taking care of dogs is not always easy. It is a lot of work sometimes. I have an old dog and a puppy. My older dog has lots of allergies so he needs special food, which is more expensive than regular dog food. I also have a puppy that isn t potty trained yet and likes to bite people because he is teething. To potty train a puppy, when they go to the bathroom inside you stick their nose by it, tell them no, spank them, and put them outside until they go to the bathroom again outside. You can also put a bell on the door and every time you go outside with them you lift up their paw and ring the bell with it then let them outside. Make sure not to give dogs too little or too much food. With puppies it s best to always have food out for them to eat if they get hungry. Taking care of dogs is not that easy, but we love them and in the end it s all worth it. By: Cassidy 4
