Putting code at the bottom of the file doesn't work and under the line where I appended the newpet to the div, it works?

I would like to know why.

Vic, it's kind of hard to understand what you're talking about without seeing the code you have submitted. Do you mind updating your question with your code submission so we can better assist you?

yea I struggled with the same problem until i figured it out

so this works

   // Attach the new element to the page
   $('#posted-pets').append($newPet);

  $('.close').on('click', function ()  {
  $(this).parent().remove();               
});

  // Reset form fields
  $name.val("");
  $species.val("Dog");
  $notes.val("");
});

// Puppy images fade in
$('img').css('display', 'none').fadeIn(1600);


$('.card').on('click', function() {
$(this).toggleClass('selected');
});

but this doesnt work

 // Attach the new element to the page
  $('#posted-pets').append($newPet);



  // Reset form fields
  $name.val("");
  $species.val("Dog");
  $notes.val("");
});

// Puppy images fade in
$('img').css('display', 'none').fadeIn(1600);


$('.card').on('click', function() {
  $(this).toggleClass('selected');
});

  $('.close').on('click', function ()  {
  $(this).parent().remove();               
});

no idea why tho
