We put our last dog on a harness. She did have a collar... one of those heavy chain link things. She was a dainty 60-70lb at her prime when she snapped it (broke at a link) attempting (in her mind) to protect the kids from a mini dobie. We bought the harness the next day. Heavy web/strap thing and also picked up a short 2 ft braided lead to go with it. All my dogs power was in her front legs. The harness allowed me (and the girls) to lift her front feet off the ground. Otherwise she was simply to strong for us (Husky/Borzoi mix). I think every one should have harnesses for their pets. Most can slip a collar and the collars really aren't designed to really handle a determined dog. We even put our little fat PITA cat (15 lb Maine Coon? mix) in a harness (had to use a dog type) since she thought she was a dog and would try to take on dogs.

The worst is men without shirts, belly's hanging out. I don't care if you just took a shower, why do you have to go shirtless?

I've had too much time on my hands sooo. Thinking about how to keep rude campers from encroching on my rented space I came up with this..............
Go down to the magic store and buy a huge plastic turd. Next get a length of logging chain and a very large dog collar. Arrange said items on your space. with the dog collar attached to the logging chain and opened. An excessivly large bone laying there will add to the illusion that there is an out of control man eater close at hand .It MIGHT keep the intelopers at bay.
Thats it, I've gotta get some stuff done. I'm gone.
