Things have changed

After hours of work, a million sweat & tears (a million sweats???), countless texts, calls & emails, Bella now is under a sponsor organization that allowed us to place Bella in a licensed kennel that will help us teach her manners! Tonight was the first class and both Mary Ellen and I attended. We along with Lori, Bella's original sponsor, will go to the kennel at least 4 times a week to work with her on obedience. Here are a few photos from Bella's first night of class!

The Class photo!

I love this photo, there is something about it that makes me want to paint it - Maybe! The instructor is starting the class, as you can see, it is dark - I love my camera!

The Pupils

Rapt attention from both, it is so intimidating at first. There is sooooooo much to learn and of course you want to do it right.

The sit/stay

Bella is a really smart dog. It was only minutes before Mary Ellen was able to get Bella to do what she was asked.

The down/stay

This was a little more work, well actually, it might take more than one night! Ha! Ha!

I Love You!

It has been a real pleasure Bella said to Mary Ellen just as ME was telling Bella the same thing! All-in-All, a wonderfully successful night with both anticipation for a positive outcome and relief that this can work!
