Mama hates those flexi-leashes; also the harnesses where the leash attaches under the chest and is always wrapping around the poor dogs' legs, setting them up for broken bones.<br /><br />We think your cravat - not bandanna - is most masculine and appropriate as sports team support gear. Right up there with a football jersey or cap. Good luck to Scotland!<br /><br />Jed & AbbyJed and Abby in MerryLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782709825274199133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-22970996426504616472011-09-13T22:28:21.291+01:002011-09-13T22:28:21.291+01:00Oh Bertie...hilarious...mom's need to be train...Oh Bertie...hilarious...mom's need to be trained over and over again<br />Benny & LilyTwo French Bulldogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10504475675258871866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-61248942041158464012011-09-13T20:59:11.070+01:002011-09-13T20:59:11.070+01:00Bewtie, dawling Bewtie

BOL<br /><br />We tried one too, the first day I was on it, we were walking and cat came out of no where well, I thought it might attach Mom but instead all I did was wrap the silly lead around Mom's crutches! Mom said HBO words.

He should not have run in front of you! ;-><br /><br />The ONLY leashes my human ever buys are flexi-leashes, even though she has been pulled face-down a few times (ouch!) and has accidentally let go of the flexi-leash on other occasions when I have pulled too hard. That is actually preferable, because then I am off and running to my hearts content, while dragging along said flexi-leash! So even if you get stuck with the flexi-leash, there are some fun things to do with it. :-><br /><br />SukaSukahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009318011921074536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-21202455362112765032011-09-13T04:50:42.970+01:002011-09-13T04:50:42.970+01:00I had one once but not for long.

I, my self, have never used one, but the Pea reports that there are often HBO words used when he goes into the brush with his on. Perhaps Gail has learned her lesson. Besides, I think those fat sheep could use some exercise and having a terrier nipping at their heels would be just the ticket.<br /><br />Slobbers,<br />MangoDexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238751458587219022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-23412511461331876782011-09-12T23:02:40.293+01:002011-09-12T23:02:40.293+01:00Hmmmm....Mee bets dat's da reason my Momma nev...Hmmmm....Mee bets dat's da reason my Momma never got me one of dos leads....BWHahahahahahahahAngels Amber and Max DaWeenie and Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14807798367609376220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-5163802406904054542011-09-12T22:19:33.319+01:002011-09-12T22:19:33.319+01:00Hi Bertie.

Once, I have been told, my angel brother Brucey got in with some cows and gave them a bit of a chase. Mums heart did a few extra flip flops hehehe.

Somehow, while he managed to wriggle out of the harness and when I called him, the sheep startled and bolted and Alfie thought it was a big game to chase them- Oh boy! Thankfully the sheep could climb better than him, but we were mortified!!!!!!! Now we have a "belt and braces" approach to the harness!Dottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894868033082449495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-48425461603857894102011-09-12T20:49:07.810+01:002011-09-12T20:49:07.810+01:00We would imagine your duet with the woolly lump wo...We would imagine your duet with the woolly lump would have been worthy of a standing ovation at the Last Night of the Proms Bertie. ;-)The Black and Tans.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10360438492264923695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-73029923046890200582011-09-12T16:20:46.567+01:002011-09-12T16:20:46.567+01:00Bertie, we aren't allowed flexi-leads.

Being the rather strong, willful, and almost as heavy as Lisa, if we run fast enough we can either 1) pull her down (this has happened) or 2) just pull the flexi right out of her hand. Nope. We're either on our short 6-footer right by her side, or off leash. Waaaayyyyy too confusing for all of us.
