Collar People, You'll Understand...

I'm not saying I have a collar problem...but....I have been known to do this a time or two when I am expecting a package. DON'T JUDGE ME!!

Collared Up Does It Again!

Ditto got a new Collared Up last week, and what can I say? (NOTHING! Because I am speechless!) Seriously, no words could describe the sheer awesomeness of this collar. No photos could capture the amount of sparkle and beauty that this collar is made of. In the words of Will Ferrell channeling his inner Alex Trebek, it is Simply Stunning.

But, don't take my word for it. Let me post a few not-professional photographs so you can get an idea of how glorious it is.

Even though I'm not that great of a photographer working with a not that great camera, you can still probably get an idea of just how effing magical this work of art is. And no, I don't get perks for bragging shamelessly about how awesome Collared Up is. I'm just a really REALLY satisfied customer who appreciates great customer service, expert craftsmanship, and attention to detail.

It's Meme Monday, says the Senior Mutt

It keeps dawning on me that Corvus will be 8 years old this year. EIGHT. Where has time gone? He is my eternal puppy...he can't be EIGHT.  If you saw him play, or demand my attention, or even just watched his day to day self, you would never in a million years guess him to be eight. The whitening of his muzzle betrays his exuberance, but that is the only sign my spastic Super Mutt is a day over crazy puppy status. 

While doing a search of him on Google for shits n gigs, I came across this meme on a Veterinary Association of Cape Cod blog entry. It made my heart catch for a moment, seeing him used in an advertisement for Senior Dog Vitamins. The irony though, is this photo was taken when he was a pup. So, I tried not to let it punch me in the heart too hard. After all, strangers on the internet don't know him like I do, and are only calling him "old" because of his infamous grandpa face. No one could watch this cranky little speed demon and call him old..

Anywho, without putting anyone through any more of my "But he's my forever puppy" woes, here's today's entry for Meme Monday. 

Shack's Working Dog Supplies Review

Corvus won a photo contest on the Shack's Working Dog Supplies Facebook page and the owner, Leah, sent us this gorgeous rainbow collar as a prize. My first impression of the collar was that it was built to last - sturdy and heavy duty for those of us that own land sharks. 

Exhibit A: Land Shark

It's a heavyweight collar with nice, heavy duty hardware, so it's not necessarily something  you'd want on your delicate dogs. It's thick - no flimsy collar here. There are numerous neck holes so that it fits a wide variety of neck sizes, which is nice because I can let either dog wear it. There is a little sliding fabric piece that you can tuck the excess of the collar tongue into, which I find SUPER helpful as I can't stand flyaway collar tongues flapping around.

You can tell that Leah makes the collars for durability and functionality. I don't think Corvus will be breaking this one! If you've got heavy duty dogs with heavy duty collar needs, give them a try. They make more than just collars! I plan on ordering a lead or two from them here soon, and maybe even a spring-pole to try out.
