"CABIN FEVER!!!!  While most two legged non-canines have heard of and understand the term cabin fever not all animals are as smart as I am  (Let's just bask in that thought a moment...wait...little longer...not yet...okay continue.) and therefore may not be familiar with this feeling of restlessness.  Of being stuck inside all the time.  Of no fetch.  Of no lower-on-the-chain creatures to catch.  It's horrible!  It makes a poor helpless pup so unstable he finds himself chasing his tail.  And that's unfortunate.  Embarrassing actually.  Spare the poor little guys.  Make a little extra effort this month to save your favorite canine from CABIN FEVER!!!!  - Wishbone Salmon

 

 

 

 

 

Hide and Seek - If your dog knows the command 'STAY' walk in one room and give him the command, then go and hide in another room and call him or yell out whatever word he knows is his command to get out of stay.  Once you play a round or two your dog will understand the game and will really get excited about this new winter game!

Obstacle Course - Use a kid tunnel or set up some boxes with the ends out, use your imagination, set up an obstacle course and teach your dog to run through it.  It always helps if there is a treat at the end!  (You might have to do it the first time to give him the idea!)

Play Date - If you really don't want to play Hide and Seek or Obstacle Course you could always call a friend with a dog and invite the two of them over.  Dogs love play dates as much as children do!

Making snow paint is such a fun craft for kids and an easy one for the supervising adult too!  This two-ingredient paint is simply made by mixing school glue with shaving cream.  Most people have these at home but if not stock up on these inexpensive products next time you're at the store so you'll have them ready to pull out when you hear chants of boredom!

Mix 1 part school glue with 2 parts shaving cream and let your little artists go to town painting the 'snow' onto construction paper.  The paint dries fluffy and spongy.  It's a great twist to painting and kids love it!

 

 

Everyone loves playing with snow paint but if your child is 'too old' for fingerpainting you could keep them entertained for hours making a yarn bowl.  Yes, a yarn bowl.  Warning...this project is much more messy but if you protect your work space it is so much fun for the kids!  All you need are strands of yarn, white school glue slightly thinned with water and a base to mold the bowl on, you could even use a balloon to make a ball, just pop the balloon when the yarn is dried.  All they have to do is place bits of yarn into the glue and let them soak up the glue for a few seconds and then gently squeeze the excess off and begin wrapping them around the item they are using as a mold or balloon.  When the yarn bowl is as full as they want it just set it aside to dry.  It may take a full day to dry depending on how much yarn was used to make it.
