Once upon a time, we watched our grand-dog. The spry young pup was a handful but he managed to keep our older dog active.

When our daughter moved, she acquired a new pup from Petsmart charities and now her dogs stay at home.

Our poor doggie went into mourning for his lost friend and was just rebounding when our daughter decided to go out of town and we got to watch both pups. This was when we realized that having another dog in the house just wasn’t going to work. Our poor dog was so tired and sore that he started limping and flopping down to catch his breath.

So he’s the only dog unless the other two come to visit.

Oh, and for whoever made this kind of harness. Kudos to you for making the buckles out of metal but I want to hurt you for making the dang thing so tight, it’s impossible to put it on a wiggling squirming dog anxious for their walk.

Shave a millimeter off, won’t you?
