Oops!

So yesterday we decided to take Doz and Tali to the park for a hike. I put Dozer’s harness on him, and gave him his leash to hold about half an hour before we were going out the door so we could avoid the crazy barking and jumping when the leashes come out. Apparently, with my brain it is a bad idea to change up our routine like that. As I discovered when we got to the park and realized that Dozer’s leash was not with us. 😕

Fortunately, Tali’s leash is a 2-parter- one bungee section that hooks to her collar and a waist belt so we can go hands-free.  So Tal got the belt hooked to her collar, Doz got the actual leash, and off we went.

Two things that came out of this – I am reminded of only a few short years ago when Tali used to pull like a little freight train and there is no way we would’ve been able to make that situation work. And two, I remembered to put the spare leash back in the car again.
