I can usually find them at Target, but you can always order them on Amazon if you can’t find them. Try the link I added to my tutorial page; it will take you to Amazon. 3 pairs for $5.00.

Being not a big belt fan myself, I’m surprised at how much I like that belt! The necklaces look quite cute, too, but I wonder what a longer (possibly doubled- or tripled-up) one might look like.

I love the ease of these, the price, and the cuteness!

[...] people. All you do is buy some chain and then add clasps. The biggest problem is finding the chain, which I mentioned before. There’s a good selection at M&J Trimming in NYC, and you can order them online, so [...]

Yep, what Liz said. I have one of those dogs too. (Although, if she’s off-leash, she’s occasionally a freak too – just less of a freak than if she’s on a leash.) I’ve always given people a wide berth or crossed the street when walking her, and there is always that ONE person that takes it personally and insists their dog is “friendly!”. Then I have to yell apologies across the intersection for offending them somehow, when it’s pretty clear that MY dog (who is usually snapping, snarling, and lunging at the end of her leash) is the issue.

Anyway. Read the humans, yes.

And! I downloaded MyFitnessPal but haven’t used it. Mostly because I hate hate HATE tracking calories but that’s obviously what I need to do. Want to be friends? You can shame me for my calorie intake.

I think Liz touches on a really good point: we humans probably know our dogs’ behavior best, so take your cue from the humans. While my dog Watson is really pleased to meet any and every dog, some of the neighbor dogs here have issues (one is unfortunately aggressive, for instance), so I let the humans’ behavior dictate whether I let W approach the other dog.

I happen to have a leash-reactive dog. He is fine with other dogs if they are both off leash, but when we see another dog on a walk, he goes CRAZY – snarling, lunging, barking. It’s embarrassing. We’ve adopted a “cross the street” methodology, as well as some other training stuff I won’t go into, which has mitigated the behavior to some extent.

I’ve always wanted one of those dogs who could just calmly sniff another dog as we pass on a walk, but that’s not what I got. Many dogs love to greet other dogs and do so with beautiful manners, like Caesar and Aussie. Don’t get too hung up on what other owners do, but do respect their wide berths (as you did, in the case of Daisy) as they’re usually justified.

Too confusing! This is why I only have indoor cats!
