After a home hair cut
Growing up I was an animal lover. I felt I had a special bond with animals. Until a few years ago. I was attacked by a pitbull. The attack changed me. I became afraid of dogs. I would not go over to anyones house who had a dog. If I saw a dog while walking I would cross the street to avoid the animal. I knew I had to overcome this. My mom used to have a toy poodle. I loved that dog. She was sweet, sassy, and smart. I knew I liked the poodle breed. I figured I needed a big poodle to help me overcome my fears. I bought Noodle my standard poodle. She has helped me so much. She is a delight. I notice I'm more outgoing towards dogs. If it wasent for her I would still be living in fear of dogs.
