Miss Juno
We became dog owners in November of last year. It was completely my idea and I was out of my mind. The first seven months were awful. She is a very dominant dog and ignored me completely (that is when she wasn't biting my hands and feet). We read everything Cesar Milan has ever published, we hired a professional trainer (who never showed up), we did puppy classes, we tried spraying her with water, we tried an air horn (and only damaged our own hearing). I was way ready to find her a nice farm to live at. And then we applied the shock collar. It is heaven. She is so good now that I am staring to finally like her. It may all work out after all.
I was talking to my Dad about the shock collar and said something to the effect of "Don't use the s-h-o-c-k word. We're trying to keep how it works a secret from someone."
Sam piped up, "Mom, someone already knows how it works. It's me!"
He is not, however, allowed to use the remote.
I wish now that I had been able to enjoy her more when she was little. She was so cute. This picture is her at 8 weeks, the day we brought her home.

About 12 weeks
Juno's crate comes in handy for controlling Sam as well.
Sam loves Juno and she puts up with a lot from him.
Juno at about 6 months
Juno at about 7 months
And now a test. Is this the same dog?
The short answer is yes.In May I took her to be groomed. I wanted her cut short, but I didn't expect her to be shaved.
I couldn't believe it was the same dog. She looks so much smaller. It's starting to grow out a little now. I was actually pretty sad. She was so pretty and now she is bald.
It's appropriate though that she has a new look to go with her new attitude.
Hopefully she'll grow out pretty again and stay likable.

Huh. It seems like someone named Cory may have suggested the shock collar in the very beginning!! hahaha. I'm so glad that she's doing better for you now.
It was fun hanging out with you guys on Sat! :) I hope that Daniel will come back--I feel bad that I laughed at that one shot of his. I was just desparate to win... :) Tell him I'm sorry, ok?
Oh-and since this comment is already bordering on a short novel, I'll just throw in my 2 cents that I agree with you--I like Juno's hair longer, but she's still cute!!
That can't be the same dog! :)
My how Juno has grown too!! I bet Sam just loves having a dog. Adam would LOVE it. He already has a name picked out and knows what he wants him to look like and tells me what he and the dog would play with, etc.
