Lili breaks the Marines
Our puppy, Lili, has been boarded for obedience training with 2 former Marines whose job in the service was training dogs for the Marines. She is part boarder collie and everyone agrees she is very smart. She is also stubborn and head strong.

We were supposed to pick her up last Saturday but when we called to confirm, one of the trainers thought it was best if Lili stayed a few more days. They asked what days were good for us to pick her up and I said "Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday." He replied "Just to be safe, with Lili, why don't we say Thursday".
So we were planning to pick her up this morning.....BUT...we got a call last night and was told she was doing really well but the trainer felt strongly, that if we agreed, they would like to continue to work with her until Sunday.
We of course agreed if she has broken 2 Marines what chance do we have!
Will keep you posted if we indeed pick her up on Sunday.


I expected nothing less... you go Lili... train those Marines to do just want you want.....
She is a very very bad bad dog. lol.
