Funny, i never really thought of it before, but they wear a choke

collar daily with their tags, etc. but i would never hook their

leashes to it, or the prong type. I take them out on harness.

leather to try on one and see how i like it.

Well After posting last night, i was motivated to do something, so i

tossed on my dirt tennis shoes and took my girl over to the arroyo

for a 30 min walk. it was good.
