I love the ease of the retractable leash, but I have found one problem.
I don't think mine is the Flexi brand. I adopted my dogs and the leashes came with them, so I'm not sure where they were bought.
And I'm still at work
so I can't check the brand name. But anyway the ones I have are just a thin cord and one time I had gone to pick my daughter up from a big state park where she was with a bunch of kids from youth group.
So, of course I took the dogs out to walk around the park & then some boys were chasing each other & they couldn't/didn't see the thin cord hooked to Bubba. One boy tripped on it - he was fine - but Bubba went flying through the air.
Somehow, thank God, my little angel was unhurt. He was a little heavier (okay maybe 6 -7pounds, instead of the almost 4.5 he is now) then - all I could think "what if it had been little 3 1/2 pound Roxie that went thru the air & down again?"
So now I'm really careful if there are very many people around. I don't want anyone to miss seeing that thin cord again!!
