You can't share a direct URL to your workspace, it's temporary and only exists while you are using it. But you can use the snapshot function in the workspace and provide the link to that.

Steven Parker thanks for helping I fix that and now you can see whats happening

The closing brace ("}") on line 33 is misplaced and should be moved to line 18.

As it is now, it's causing the "Dog" class to be inside the "Main" class.

Also, something happened to give a strange name to one of your other files. To fix it, do this in the console (note that there's a space after the d inside the quotes):

treehouse:~/workspace$ mv "d " Cow.java
