I am supposed to -
[LIST]

[
]Add JavaScript code to [COLOR=#009900]change[/COLOR] animation of puppy running and push pin bouncing.
[*]than add code so that if the user enters run and clicks the Change button, the puppy animation will show. If the user enters bounce and clicks the Change button, the push pin animation should show.
