Crazy new neighbor indeed. Don't dogs have the ability to make us look foolish? Thank goodness he came back to you, and hadn't attacked a cat or chihuaha. <br /><br />I actually tried to get Abby into Hollywood, and had an interview lasting several hours at the agency offices. They didn't really look at Abby at all - they mainly wanted to know how dedicated to achieving Abby's stardom I was. After doing a training course for 6 months, Abby may be put forward for roles, but the woman let slip that animal trainers usually get their own shelter dogs and train them up years before the filming starts. So I'd have wasted all of $6,000. It was a scam.Bellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168550139269893109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665132705224761110.post-63695886536260011612011-05-25T13:38:26.842-07:002011-05-25T13:38:26.842-07:00Hiker (aka KB), I agree!
