I haven't mentioned this as I thought it might sound
over the top, When we left yesterday, we have to cross the road and then immediately descend some 20 steps down to the lower parade by the beach. She always insists on needing a little 'pull' to start her down this wide and quite shallow concrete stairway. About halfway down yesterday her little harness - which is an under body velcro lap over became detached. I got one that was too small anyway (XXS) and in the 3 months she's been with us she's put on about a lb anyway and her coat is now 3 months fuller. I have another harness, but it's difficult for me to put on her when I'm alone as my right arm and hand are paralysed. So she slipped off, but came straight to me and I re-velcroed the tab tightly. Perhaps a premonition for me that I failed to recognize brrrrrr?
The Harness has now had an extension sewn on to make sure it fits properly, but I'm going to use the securer 'clip together' alternate whenever my wife's around to fit it...
The smaller one is a good little harness, just a bit too small for a growing girl,
