Doggie accessories shopping

Our dog needed a new leash--she's nearly chewed through her current one, and we're out of replacements.  We buy 2-ply leashes, because they're sturdier (although obviously nor chew-proof).  I couln't find any store around here that sells double thick leashes, so went hunting on line.  I did order one, but since it hasn't arrived yet I can't say anything about it or the web site.  I ordered the Dura-Ruff leash (they use the British term "lead") from the Drs. Foster and Smith website on Sept. 15 and paid $5.99 for shipping.  I decided to also get her a new collar--we use a special Martingale-style collar that was recommended to us by the shelter when we got our dog 10 years ago.  She still has her original collar.  So I went on line and found a number of companies that sell these collars on line.  The brand is Lupine--they seem to be the only company that makes these special collars.  (Good for dogs that back out of their collars and/or need perennial training.)  I purchased one collar in bling bonz (cute silver skull and crossbones on a black collar)--placed the order on Sept. 16 and paid $5 for shipping.  But while the leash still hasn't arrived, the collar came in yesterday's mail!  So the company, Four Your Paws Only, gets my vote!  They also included dog treats and a kitchen magnet (in the shape of a dog bone, of course) with the company's info on it.  The web site is www.fouryourpawsonly.com

Lupine collars come with a guaranty--here's what Lupine says on its web site:

There's no need to send the original receipt or our cost for the return postage.

Too bad Lupine doesn't make double thick leashes.  Maybe I'll buy one of their leashes--sounds like they would replace it if she chews her new one.  But I'm afraid she'd chew right through a leash with only single thickness.


I know, we need the Dog Whisperer so she won't chew her leash at all...
