so Brody has settled well , he has been with my mother now since may (a week or so after Storm left, see older thread)
he is now a completely different dog to the day he arrived, although some times still nervous he has found his voice, and place on the sofa!
he has more cloths then i do and my mother is busy knitting him his 3rd jumper, he is very happy to let her measure and "dress" him
he is happy to go for up to 2 hour walks with her now and although still stops and stares at people (spent the first 2 years of his lift locked in a crate in a garage) he is slowly starting to understand outside life more every day
however he does wear a collar full time, as although the garden has been "wippet-ed" he has a good leap and can squeeze though gaps i never knew where do-able
now before any one jumps on me, we have checked my mother home and ensured there is nothing he can get caught on and i have attached a small brake away on the bucket should he become caught
but its time for a new collar, we like the site hound/ whippet style collar on him but i couldnt seem to find many which will stand up to every day life for to long, he isnt a fan of water and i have enough saddle soap to do 100s of collars so leather isnt an issue but i dont want to spend £100 on a collar, but nor do i want one which crumbles at 14 days old!
so any one know where i can get a nice one?
ps on my work computer but promise to follow up with some photos of his lordship, who is firmly at home now and has brought my mother great joy in the darkest of times, althought with making us all jump on halloween when he leanrt to bark (blooming bit bark for a little dog!!)
