I'm sorta around that age so rather than trying to "parent," I'll give ya some ideas on activities...

Does your neice like animals?

When I was about that age, Mom and I volunteered/became members of the humane society and I LOVED IT!!! (I even got to vote at some of the meetings...talk about feelin' like a hot shot! lol)

Shopping (window or otherwise) would've been a close second.


If your neice does like animals, how about chores that relate to your pups?
