COLLARS FOR DOGS!

Jolly has a new (expensive) collar.

I loved her old collar, it was navy woven with outlines of bones in different colours. I bought it in New York 5 years or so ago. Unfortunately I wasn't the only one to love it - Fusspot chewed it, while Jolly was still wearing it (and daft hound that she is, Jolly didn't object!) She didn't just have a quick taste either - she chewed right through it!

I searched the internet for Jolly's replacement. I like them to have fabric collars (I think they're softer - and I always select by 'feel'). As J's mostly black she looks better in a blue collar (I've tried red and it looks awful). I finally found a collar that I like, it was expensive but so was the original and it lasted well and seemed comfortable. It arrived this morning and Jolly seemed truly pleased with herself when I put the new collar on her. Then Fusspot inspected it, now she's chewed it too - don't think this collar is going to last quite as long as the one it replaced - but then the old one wasn't around Fusspot for too long!

Humph.
