I really like the retractable but I get so nervous that one day it will just snap. I had Lily on the retractable leash once and she ran around me in a circle, my hand slipped and the leash wrapped around my arm and sliced me. It was almost like a burn and now I have a huge scar across my forearm
I'm more careful now.

Oh gosh, that is so scary!

I think if I got one I would be terrified to use it!

I use one sometimes for Xena. I got mine at Dollar Tree and have had it for a year with no problems.

I can't believe they can do so much damage!!

Maybe I don't one after all.
