Even if you come from humble beginnings, don't let that discourage you from achieving your goals of what you want to become!  You (and ONLY you!) hold the key to your future. I started out skinny, stinky, snotty, and scraggly on the side of the road. I never would have thought that I could grow up to play such an important part in the lives of others.  When the red-haired girl brought me home, I could have ran and hid from the dogs at my house--never warming up to them and giving myself the opportunity of a lifetime!  Instead, I held my ground (as tiny as I was) and made a point to be a strong and influential member of this pack!  I do not take that responsibility lightly, and I want you to know that when your dogs come to stay with me for training--they get some kitty lessons everyday! Some hugs, some rubs, possibly some swats and hisses, but more than anything--a teacher who wants them to succeed :)
