Hi again everyone,

Graham here again. Mom just got off the phone with another agility place. She was happy, talked a LONG time on the phone and said they sound rrrrreeeeelll nice and good, and they had heard more bad things about the other agility place too from other moms and dads! Boy, so much bad stuff goes on at the other school where I was going! Mom reeeeelllly needs to find another place! There were 2 dogs that were hit ALOT by their moms also. One of them was a beagle girl and one was a big belgian shepherd doggie. I accidentally stepped into the belgian shepherds space last schoolnight (Thursday) and he lunged, barked and snarled at me, but he didn't hurt me he just scared me a little. I knew that I just stepped a little too close to him, he liked his space, but his mom started screaming and hitting him real hard, she did not even stop when my mom told her that she did not need to hit him any more! His mom kept telling him how bad he was and hitting him on his face, and his bumm. My mom told his mom that it's ok, he just needed his space and that it's ok, that I was not hurt. She kept saying, "but that's bad, he can't be doing that". Mom took me home because the energy there was tense and not fun anymore. She got off the phone with the new school place and said, "ouch, they are expensive!". The last school was $75 for 6 weeks and this school is $115 for 6 weeks. I don't know much about money but I guess that's hard for mom to do, after all, she and dad are saving for a house. But it looks like mom's going to do it for me She must really like me! She heard good stuf about the new school and she said she's going to take me there to meet the teechers before she pays for the class. Boy am I glad to have my mom and not some of those moms that hit and yelled at their furkids, and the teechers who hit and yelled at other peoples kids!

After class last Thursday mom took me to the car, let me sit in the passenger seat, and wrapped her arms around me. She told me that she would never hurt me like those other moms hurt their kids, or like the teecher hurt someone elses kid. I sure am glad I have my mom. She's so good to me.

When mom was on the phone to the new and better school, she told them how bad the old school was to all the furkids and how they yelled and hit someone elses kid, and how they allow physical abuse and the other school told her that that's terrible. Mom does not know who else to tell about what a rotton school it is so if you have any advise please tell her. She thinks that they should not have school there and, although I had lotsa fun there, it hurt my feelings to hear so much yelling and then be the reason that poor big belgian got spanking after spanking. If you know who else mom could tell that might help future doggies from going there. Mom thinks she's going to call around a few obedience/agility schools and spread the word about this bad school. Mom will also tell my doggie doctor, maybe the doggie doctor will tell other moms and dads that they should not go there.

By the way, for all of those who live in Michigan, don't go to the Canine Community Center in Warren, MI! That's the BAD place!

Well bye bye to all you fellow friends, furkids, and furkid parents.
