You know you are old if you outlive your friends, or in the case of a dog if you outlive your collar.
My dog Zeppelin is 14 years 7 months and last night his lifelong leather collar fell apart. So for Zep it was a trip to PETCO to do some shopping.....As a dog of the people, Zep buys off the rack and opted for another leather collar...only this time he spurned brown and went a little rogue, getting red !
At his age he doesn't buy green bananas, so he is sure this collar will take him the rest of the way.
Just to splurge he picked up some treats and a squeak toy that will be ripped apart by tomorrow...But hey, it wasn't his money.

Good post. Have you tried those GREENIE things for dogs? They're chewies and expensive as hell. But there must be doggie drugs in 'em cause the dogs go nuts over them. They're supposed to be the ultimate teeth cleaner but I think they're just a serious high. I've thought of trying one myself. If Owens/Pelosi wins this fall, I'll probably go on a steady diet of the things.
I speculate that the way people treat animals offers some good insight into their character. Sounds like you have a kind and generous heart. If it were me, I would have put him down rather than watch him suffer through breaking in a new collar.
Now that's bad
Mayor; nothing to add, you said it all; very kind and generous person. It always makes the heart feel good with stories like this, to get us away from this crazy world.
Couldn't you get a state grant that would have covered the costs involved in replacement of the collar? You could have called it part of an education program. Wouldn't your dog have been disabled without the new collar?
Rock On ZEP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
