Big Girl Collar
Cabana got a lot of big girl upgrades yesterday! She went from a small crate to a medium--this was probably a couple weeks overdue. Now she can really stretch out and luxuriate.
And she also graduated to her big girl collar AND a training collar! Whoopee! The big girl collar is still a bit loose--but probably not for long.
I took Cabana for a walk this morning with the training collar--the first time she hasn't had her head collar on in months. She went somewhat crazy with the new freedom, trying to pick up and eat every little thing on the sidewalk. I could tell that her attitude was like, "Wow! This is so awesome!" But after being corrected with the training collar about 20 times, she got a bit ornery and had another one of her episodes.
After we worked through that little period of adjustment, though, I think the training collar was the best invention since sliced bread. Or maybe even chocolate cake. Cabana heeled so angelically! What a thing of beauty--just like Cabana herself.
Isn't it just sad when you realize that they are growing up. Cabana looks so dignified in her big girl collar, and I LOVE the training collar too. It works miracles. Good luck with her.
Oops, forgot to say that I LOVE your new header. It is precious!
I Love your new header too! Good job! She does look very nice in her big girl collar! Iverson was put in his when it was still too big to give a better correction, we just had a nylon slip (safety for a GL) on him as well. The little stinker needed that extra "umph" as well! But he made it as a guide and his trainers loved his drive so work through her little head strong times and she'll do well, whether it's as a guide or pet, you'll succeed! :-D
Thanks for the compliments on my new header. Initially, I had an illustrated version of myself in it, too--but I couldn't get it right. Maybe in the next iteration....
