Before I Pet a Dog I Don’t Know… Free Kid’s Printable

April 21, 2013

It’s important to teach children to always ask permission before approaching and petting a dog or other pet. This not only helps prevent nips or bites, but also teaches kids to respect animals and give them their space. Some dogs might be “on the job” and kids don’t know unless we teach them, not to pet a service dog while it’s working. Other dogs get stressed out and every negative interaction can add to their anxiety in future situations…something we all want to prevent.

To help you have a conversation about this important topic, you can download this Free Kid’s Printable with a writing prompt “Before I pet a dog I don’t know, I…”. This gives kids a chance to rehearse what they will say and do. Read more here.

Swagbucks Now Allows Code Sharing: Earn Amazon Gift Codes and More!

As I’ve mentioned before, one of my favorite ways to bank up some free Amazon credit is through Swagbucks. They’ve just made a major announcement about a big change and it’s great news because members are now allowed to share codes with friends when we find them! This means faster rewards and more free gift cards and codes so be sure to read on for how to join and cash in!

Swagbucks.com is an online portal dedicated to helping you earn digital dollars called “Swag Bucks”, which can be redeemed for exclusive Swagbuck merchandise, PayPal and Amazon gift cards, toys, clothes, collectibles, games, electronics and more. Swagbucks 100% free, no strings attached, with free prizes, no shipping charges, no membership fee’s.

In addition to earning Swag Bucks by searching the web through their site or toolbar, they also hide random Swag Codes on their blog and other pages from time to time. In the past, it was every man or woman for themselves when it came to finding a code which was hard since they are only valid for a very short time. Now, the rules have changed and if anyone finds out about a hidden Swag Code, they can publish or share it however they want making it so much easier for everyone else to cash in, too!

You won’t get rich but I’ve been a member for a couple of years and have saved up several small Amazon Gift Codes I’ve earned using Swagbucks, and waited until I had enough to buy some cool stuff (like a Kindle Fire for Woof Woof Papa!)

Swagbucks.com has already rewarded over a million users with Amazon.com gift cards, and all kinds of quality products, to members across the United states, Canada and UK. Visit Swagbucks here for more info and to join now! I’ll be sharing codes on Facebook and Twitter when I find them since they usually expire too quickly to put them in a blog post each time.
