My New Harness

I am always thrilled to try out new doggie products. Food, treats, toys, you name it, I'll try it and give you my fuzzy, honest opinion.

Recently we had the opportunity to try out a new collar from DogCollarsBoutique.com - and boy do they have a huge selection of cool collars for the stylish pup. I rarely wear a collar, I'm more of a harness guy, so rather than trying out some new bling, I opted for a new harness.

My new harness is similar to the one I wear everyday, except that it's black and from Timberwolf (my old one is a Petco special). I'm liking it already.

And it's so tasty too!

I decided to give it a try-out on a long walkie today in Rittenhouse Square park. It's a crisp autumn day with lots of people and doggies out, so I could do a little modeling.

I really like that it's black - you can barely see it in these photos and it's the same in real life - so there is more of this handsome Airedale to see. Win-Win!

It fits me well and is completely adjustable. It doesn't rub me anywhere it shouldn't, and I think it enhances my masculine-ness.

See? Functional AND fashionable. Mama was originally a little skeptical because this harness was softer than my old one (she thought it might not be able to handle what I can dish out), but apparently it can take a good Aire-pulling and the hardware lays really well on my muscle-y chest. She's sold on it now too!

All of this Airedmiration can be tiring for a boy. Thanks again DogCollarsBoutique! I absolutely LOVE my new harness!!!

Love,

Bring on Da Funk

Friends... Romans... Countrymen... I come to you for advice.

My trusty green nylon harness is FUNKY! I suppose that the years of wear along with my recent trips into the Willamette River have caused it to retain a very special funk that mama just cannot remove. Now I know what you're thinking - BRING ON DA FUNK - and that's what I think too, but mama is insistent that the funk must be removed.

She has tried many cleaners, letting it soak, but so far nothing has done the trick. Of course she could go out and buy me a new one (uh, I do think that I'm overdue for a spiffy one) but even if she did that she has realized that having a "backup harn-y" (as it is called in our house) is a really, really good thing to have.

So I turn my fuzzy ear in your direction - help a pup out, would ya? What do you recommend for cleaning a funky nylon harness?

Love,

Bogart
