Calling All Collars
My collar obsession started before I ever even had a dog.
In fact, the month before Greta came into my life, my husband and I went on a cross-country trip and I bought several collars for a dog I hadn’t even set eyes on yet.
Of course, once Greta was here, we quickly realized that such a long neck really requires a substantial collar. And, lest we not forget, a Martingale collar.
(Martingale collars are great for dogs with necks wider than their heads, such as greyhounds/sighthounds. When they pull, the collar tightens. Martingale collars are also considered “humane” choke collars.)
I’ve purchased collars here and here, and just recently found some really cute ones here, here and here.
Just bought these…
In my circle of dog friends, I’ve even earned the rep as a collar w—- (rhymes with “more”).
But I don’t care.
To me, really any occasion is a new collar occasion. I figure I’m all set for St. Patrick’s Day, Easter and Greta’s birthday.
Now what to buy for the first day of summer?
