“I'd get a little anxious, being
at home alone. And then I'd
see the wastebasket. I just
couldn't help myself. But
things are different since I've
been going to City Dog USA. I
just needed some play time
so that I could get rid of that
pent up energy. I'm a lot
calmer now, and mom & dad
say I’m perfect!”
