Fortunately for me, the guy at the pet store showed me how to put Gracie's first harness on her. Those things can be confusing....

I have in the past put the harness on upside down before when i was in a hurry.Not to mention the fact that before i found YT i used a coller(gaspppp)Thanks Yt.You really do learn something new every day.

Me Too! I paid alot of money for that darn Easy walk harness and it's too big for Pippa the Puller. She wiggles out of it after about 1/2 a block. I guess I can use it for Scout, but he's actually a pretty good boy on leash. Pippa pulls and pulls until she basically gets tuckered out. I use Cesar Milan's techniques and keep my leash short and 'be the boss', but it doesn't matter to Pippa!

Both my pups have the soft harnesses--inside written with a sharpie is notes saying front, chest.....silly piece of apparatus frustrated me every single time.

And nothing ever fits the first time.

I'm new to this forum..and trying to learn a lot quickly...But I thought you all would love this. My first pet as an adult was a cat... I knew I should have stayed with dogs. I've never looked this stupid with dogs. I was in my twenties and took my male cat to the vet because it's adoption health records did not seem quite right... I paid for a vet health visit because my male cat had NIPPLES! The vet paused for a very long time and then asked me if my husband had nipples.
YIKES!

Willie, our leg-lifter, is the one that wears a pee pad, but on occasion I've either put it on the wrong dog or attempted to put it on the wrong dog. They always fight me and look soooo confused (but then they are girls!!!). Willie just looks at me like I've lost my mind.

OMG that is HILARIOUS!!!!

Jac got bit by a lab and had to get that part shaved and cleaned. The hair around the bite mark on his side was red too! Is that what happens to all yorkies when they have hair loss and re-growth?

Oscar now just keeps his clipped short enough so it does not fall into his eyes.

(sorry...forgot to put the quote...if everyone's wondering what i'm rambling about. oops!)

I can't think of one at the moment for me but my Mom watched Samson for a weekend and I gave her his coat and a sweater. The sweater had leg bands and she was putting it on him with the leg bands going over his ears!!!!! She thought that was how it stayed on!!!!!!!!!!

I about died laughing!! When I showed her the right way she said "oh yeah that looks better"!!

I was wondering what those little bumps on bunjee's tummy are... lol.

Your vet visit reminds me of my vet visit when i was concerned about bunjee licking his crotch all the time.
