Scholarships?

Hey everybody! Noelle here again. I just had a random thought and was wondering what others thought about it.

Y'all know how hard I try to be a good girl, and ya know that my Mama sometimes cries because she can't get through to me. Well, she met a guy that gets called The Dogman by people in our town and he said that he thinks he could work with me and make me a better dog.

Now I don't know if I could EVER be as good as Hector, who was a Vick's dog but is now a CGC certificate holder AND a certified therapy dog, but maybe I could be the dog my Mama keeps saying is inside me. The only problem is, he wants $150 for the 6 sessions and he wants me to be given a blood test that will cost another $100. That's a lot of money for my family!

I know my family really loves me, and they will come up with the money somehow but it sure would be nice if I could get a scholarship to help them out! What do you think?

And PLEASE don't say that if you don't have a lot of money you shouldn't have a dog. My people are poor but they take really good care of us. There are so many dogs that are not wanted that it just isn't right that people say that families like mine shouldn't exist.

If not for my Mama and Daddy Fiona would have stayed in a lonely back yard without any attention or exercise. Freckles would have been abandonned out in the country, and who knows what kind of people would have wanted an aggressive type dog like me. My Mama and Daddy saved us and that's all there is to say about THAT subject!

Noelle's apology

I did a very bad thing today and it made my Mommy really mad. She came into the bedroom to cuddle me and when she sat down on the doggy bed I growled at her. She got so mad and I thought I was done living here. She yelled at me and made me get off the bed cuz it's a p..r..i..v..i...l...e...d...g...e to have a doggy couch and not a right. Then Daddy made me lay down on a pillow on the FLOOR for the evening! I knew I had messed up and tried really hard to lay down at Mommy's feet and just be a good girl. I got distracted a couple times by the kitty but when Daddy told me to lay back down I did right away.

A couple good things happened today though. I got to go for a car ride to the park and climb a big mountain. Mommy hurt her knee so we had to be really slow going back down. And then I got to go for ANOTHER car ride to go pick up my human sister from work. I love car rides more then almost anything.

But I've just had a bad day other then that. I couldn't stop being bad at all. Mommy said the growling thing was the "last straw!" in her day with me. I'm really really REALLY sorry Mommy!

From Mommy: We are trying to get Noelle into training with someone in town who is known as "The Dogman". He's supposed to be really good at dealing with problem dogs, and has retrained many dogs that were seen as untrainable. Hopefully we can figure out a way to get her in because I KNOW in my heart that Noelle is a good dog inside. I just can't seem to find the trick in getting to her when she gets into her bad behavior days. If it was all the time it would be different, but she is so unpredictable and that makes her a bit of a danger. Hope we can get the problem fixed and my sweet little girl can be known to more people then just our family! On a good note, I DID get the absolute best picture of Noelle EVER. Made me laugh so hard I cried.

Yeah, she laughed at me a lot. I don't know where my other ear went. I honesty DO have two of them!
