My smart dog?

Abby. A so called baby to my mother. A real pain in the butt, and very stubborn too. Reminds me of the time when she was two years old. It was probably in April in 2006, before we got Roxie that we took Abby to doggie school. She was one of the smallest dogs along with a four month old boston terrier and a dauchand. Some other dog breeds included a lab, great dane, couple big mixed breeds, and a dalmatian at one point. Well it started off with the introduction lesson like a getting to know your dog. We got leather leashes with metal linking in it and a choke collar. We didn't really like where this was going so far. The choke collar was reccommended by the teacher of the class, and we thought it was cruel. Abby did too. I mean why do you want a chain of metal digging into your dogs fur in her neck? Plain mean, and I dont reccomend that you do that either, because it doesnt work. She tried choking herself to make a point that she wasnt going to obey the teacher. He could get any other dog even the huge dogs to do anything he wanted them to do. Abby of course could not be tamed. She hated even sitting on the cold floor, so we had to get her a grooming table with a blanket on it. She still wouldnt sit. She wouldnt even do it for treats. She loves treats! Next came the obsticle course. You know how dogs jump over minature horse jump things? Well we tried that, and Abby went around it when normally, she can "fly" like a bird. Eventually, puppy class came to an end after six gruesome weeks, and it was time for graduation. Of course every other dog passed, but Abby got invited back for half price (even though we didnt do it again). She did win an award for "most improved" even though she was the worst one there. Mom figured that she should just let her do whatever she wants because she's too stubborn to train. Now she does whatever she wants, and my mom loves her still. Again, a real big pain in the butt. I guess I love her too. I mean think of a huge guy trying to tame a little puppy. He was suppose to be a professional, and yet he couldnt train my adorable little puggle. She looks sweet, but trust me she will do as she pleases. So basically, I guess I should say my cute dog is a doggie school dropout. (Sing beauty school drop out from Grease in your head.) Haha! I bet it is stuck in your head now (if you know what I am talking about.) But yeah basically, she taught the teacher something. Maybe one day she will sit every time we ask her, or lie down for a nap when we tell her. Or maybe she will just act the way she does for the rest of her life, and we will still think she is a little cutie pie. Other dog owners beware of our dog.
