Shortly after we got Pippi, she got a hold of Sherlock’s Gentle Leader collar and chewed it up. So, not only didn’t we have one for her, we no longer had one for him, either. We finally got to the pet shop in Eau Claire over the weekend and remembered to buy new ones. They are quite expensive, it turns out, but the investment was well worth it, because now I can take a nice, leisurely walk with the two of them, without having to fight with either one. Pippi has actually taken to it very quickly. She knows it means a walk, so she just sits there quietly and lets me put it on. I had thought I’d have a struggle getting it on, but I was delightfully wrong! Now that I can get her outside, I’m hoping that some of her destructive behavior will lessen. I think she needs a lot more activity than she has been getting in the winter!
You should bring the dogs when you come visit! I’d love to see Sherlock and meet your new beauty and the kids would love them. Of course, that would mean a lot of work traveling though.
It would be hard having them the rest of the trip. Nathan and Amy’s place is a bit small for two more dogs and I’m not sure what the situation is at Kylene’s, but she lives way up on the third floor. Sorry…
