I hope everyone out there will know by now about how I, Summer Holly Love, finally persuaded my mom to let me have a wonderful golden Labrador puppy of my own named Honey. Anyway, things have moved on since those early days of dog-ownership. Honey went through a bit of a difficult phase recently, developing a taste for shoes (mainly flip-flops) and terrorizing dinner guests. So, to help her through her awkward adolescence, I dutifully (and brilliantly) trained her at Obedience Class and in the garden.
