Ginger & Crew- I can't find "barmy4boys.co.uk."
-- Is there a trick to finding it?
----------
Penny- I find myself repeating myself, too, and hope I'm not
annoying everyone. It's just that we have new members, and
those who miss some posts . . . but some of these topics are
so important. Plus, I tend to forget some of the advice myself,
if I don't use it. Maybe it would be nice if we could have
another "page" on gpdd someday, where we could accumulate
such info, for easy access.

Sigolène - love the pigtures, and your website/blog . . . and
your name! so cool, I love that we're 'international'! I think your
beautiful Alpacas are similar to our Texels.

and, speaking of repeating myself - I just sent this to
Cheryl, but since there is still so much interest, I will
post once more...
"Here's a post I sent not too long ago, so I won't post it
again right now on gpdd. But, since you asked, I'll
share my experience . . ."
"You may not have read our story about The Leash. ;-)
I, too, thought it sounded like a good idea. Not to walk
them, of course, just an extra safety measure, like
wearing suspenders with your belt. Well, I tried the
harness and leash on Snowy indoors. She froze.
Wouldn't move. So we went outdoors and I set her
in the grass. Same thing, wouldn't move. That was
no fun, so I took her back in and tried it with CocoPuff.
(outdoors) Same thing. Statue. Then he suddenly
launched himself into the air, toward the building,
until he hit the end of the leash. Straight down, just
like in the cartoons. Then he froze again. But only
for a moment, then he launched again, this time
slipping free of the harness, and hit the ground
running, headed for the shrubbery. Luckily I was
ready and managed to grab him just before he
disappeared beneath the bushes, or I might not
have found him again. We were both so scared
that we went back indoors where it was safe.
Good luck with your leash adventures!"
