Ah yes...the harness that wraps up from the belly instead of being like a sling to squeeze them into. I have never understood why pet suppliers offer something tight that you have to wrestle your pet into, although I can see how one would think it more secure if they can't wriggle out of it easily. But it makes the dog feel more confined I'm sure.
I have quite a few quilted jackets for Jenna that have the jump rings sewn onto the back, but you can imagine they are not really safe for busy roads. Ebon however needs that wrap up harness and it has to be snug. The one we have now is old, and has one 'tooth' missing from the buckle, so if you don't loop the lead clasp through the jump rings, you risk her popping out of it which would be a disaster if there were traffic! (She thinks she can eat cars.)
I just got her a collar today that will be solely for keeping her rabies tags on her person. She has a habit of chewing collars so we've really not used them much, but when we move the city will likely want her to be wearing them at all times. Getting her used to the collar is going to be a Labour of Hercules, she once got her lower jaw caught in one and we had a time getting it open to release her. Panic ensued! Hopefully she's matured somewhat and won't try to bite this one. :roll:
What was your Westie's name, Jane? I don't recall you mentioning this one.
So glad to see that Morse Pup is finding his walking times more comfortable and that his recall is sound. He'll be dragging you out the door and down the street next!
