New Harness For A Small Dog.

[sandyRoe]

I'm going to buy one on-line. It's for a Cairn Terrier. Should I get one for a 'small dog'? Or would small here be considered Yorkies or Chihuahuas?

Wolf, it came this morning and has already been used twice.

A girly colour I hope

[sandyRoe]

No. Sober black. Remember, it has to be used for walks on Sundays.

She'll be wanting to go for Mass with a black harness on.

I once went to a Catholic funeral - it was more like an aerobics class. Exhausting to watch.

I hope that she walks better with it on - it a big dog pulls it is easier to pull against them (especially when on black ice) but with a little dog you would end up breaking your neck. We would miss you.

Glad you got sorted out Sandy.

When the icy weather comes I wear my socks over my boots. They don't last nearly as long as when they're on my feet but they're slip proof.
I started doing that a few winters ago when I slipped and the handle of my stick took a fair chunk of paint off a neighbours newish car.

Wolf - know what you are talking about - aerobics in the church - well I never - up and down - up and down - then kneel - then up and down - think I lose weight when I go.

We do have a thing where we shake hands and say "Peace Be With You". My sister's ex-boyfriend - (couldn't hear too well) - he always said "Pleased to Meet you" all the time.

I fell on black ice one boxing day morning at the end of the last century.

I just lay on the ground (6 in the morning) looking up and my trust hound just stood there looking down. No attempt to go for help. I tore the ligaments in my knee and it took months to heal. It was terrible. You are wise to be cautious.

Get the pup little bootees - Robbie didn't like his little boots so he ate them.


Good luck with her - dogs are good company.
