Simply making excuses isn't the answer neither is a new thread furthering your efforts...just say that you don't care for any of the advice given and that you are doing to treat your dogs like last season's styles, as soon as it's not brand new it's OUT!
I really think the OP needs a reality check, so does her parents, furthermore she needs to do some time in rescue...there may be so much more to the state of the dog's care and well being here...
OP what was your vet costs for last year alone?...Did you ever take your dog to the vet or did you just buy the new harness?
