Question: Add an action to the controller below called hidePuppies. When it is triggered, make it change the puppiesShowing property to false.

Code:

js/app.js 
AnimalShelter = Ember.Application.create();

AnimalShelter.Router.map(function() {
  this.resource('puppies');
});

AnimalShelter.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  renderTemplate: function() {
    this.render('puppies');
  }
});

AnimalShelter.PuppiesController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  puppiesShowing: true,
  actions: {
    // your code goes here
    puppiesShowing: false;
  }
});
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Animal Shelter</title>
</head>
<body>
  <script src="js/libs/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
  <script src="js/libs/handlebars-v1.3.0.js"></script>
  <script src="js/libs/ember-1.8.1.js"></script>
  <script src="js/app.js"></script>

  <script type="text/x-handlebars" id="puppies">

You'll want to create a method inside of 'actions' that sets the puppiesShowing property to false. Here's an example of how you might create a method within 'actions' and set a property:

actions: {
  actionName: function () {
    this.set('propertyName', value);
  }
}
