The5BestDog
BreedsforChildren
The most popular dog breed for kids is the Boxer. One
of the Boxers most distinctive qualities is its love for
children. They are a people oriented breed and prefer to
have their pack close by. Energetic and affectionate, the
Boxer needs to have plenty of exercise and playful
interaction.
Mastiffs are second in line
to be the best dog breed for
children
. This good natured giant bonds instantly with its
family and loves to be around his people. Gentle with children,
this breed makes an ideal family pet. When he feels his pack is
threatened, a Mastiff will most likely knock an intruder to the
ground and lay on them until
assistance arrives.
This big ball of fur is also a perfect choice for kids. This
working dog is considered affectionate and loving,
although there may be an instinct to herd its family; this
might not be so bad if the kiddos are running late for
school. The AKC described this breed as athletic filled
with clownish energy.
Another popular breed is the Labrador Retriever. This eager
to please breed is bouncy and enjoys playing with her pack
members. She loves to swim and frolic in the water or on the
land. Parents would benefit from a Labradors athletic
tendencies; they are perfect babysitters.
People oriented and lover of fun and play, the spotted
Dalmatian would be an incredible addition to any family.
Energetic, this breed loves to run with the kids all day long and
snuggle with them at night. If the home includes horses, even
better; the Dalmatian has a symbiotic relationship with horses.

Chinese food has a very special way to eat, you cant just dig into the
food, there are steps and rules.

arent that means you are cursed.
2. Never put your chopsticks straight into the bowl, it means you are
rude and you dont like the food.
3. Always take the food from the top, dont mine for gold in the bowl,
just so you dont get the vegetables or the meat.
4. Whenever you are pouring tea, you must pour the tea to the
people around you first. Place your right hand on the handle, and
your left hand on the lid of the tea.
5. Never point your chopsticks at someone.

+ Kestrels +
North Americas littlest falcon, the American Kestrel packs a predators fierce intensity into its small body. It's
one of the most colorful of all raptors: the males slate-blue head and wings contrast elegantly with his rusty-red back and
tail; the female has the same warm reddish on her wings, back, and tail. Hunting for insects and other small prey in open
territory, kestrels perch on wires or poles, or hover facing into the wind, flapping and adjusting their long tails to stay in
place. Kestrels are declining in parts of their range; you can help them by putting up nest boxes.
The American kestrel is usually found in close proximity to open fields, either
perched on a snag or telephone wire or hovering in search of prey. The typical
falcon-shaped wings are slim and pointed; the tail long and square-tipped. Adult male
plumage is easily told from adult
females and juveniles of both sexes. All
have 2 bold, dark moustache marks
framing white cheeks on the face and
have the dark eyes typical of falcons. It
hunts insects, small mammals, and
reptiles from a perch or on the wing.
Will hover above a field on rapidly
beating wings, or soar in place in strong
winds above a hillside. Flight style is
quick and buoyant, almost erratic, with wings usually swept back.
Polytypic (New World 17 ssp.; 2 in North America). Length 10.5" (27 cm); wingspan 23" (58 cm).
