The ruby red slippers of dog collars.

Okay, so I have been found out, I'm slightly over weight, but only by ONE KILO. 
If you say it quick it doesn't sound much. Enough that I am now on a different diet and after a week of he, he, giving me carrots and apples and other tosh that I can't stand and spit out, I'm not doing badly.

Shopping for a new collar today should have been as easy as snaffling cat food climbing on a log.

This little pink number is my old collar. It used to sparkle but with all the battering I give it on the beach as I have my head down a sand hole it's seen better days.

Enter, pink hot number two. This one is padded and is a medium size. Most of all, it's soft inside.

After demanding to take it out of it's packaging in the shop to try it on the sales assistant rolled her eye's. That made me wonder if she saw me the other day when we were in the same store, did she see me trying to sample the dry goods. 
The new pink number came out of the shop and was snapped on me straight away. Then taken off again for closer inspection. A SHARP BIT.

Loose stitching. 

Then there's the bit that hangs inside, with one beach trip that would be flapping all over the place. Hum, bad choice, bad buy.

Pink hot number three.
This one is made of the same stuff without the padding. I WANTED THE PADDED ONE..................

Think again if they think these are going to fit me !

The moral of the story,  LOOK CAREFULLY and TRY things on before you buy, even if the sales assistants do roll their eye's at you thinking your being awkward cos you want to take stuff out of it's packaging and have a closer look. This particular well known pet store who trades all over the country will remain anonymous.

We are special paws and deserve the best. Best, would have been a soft waxed leather collar, but can't find one with a quick clip fixing, unless anyone out there knows something different. It also has to be strong enough to withstand the beach.
