Snoopy's NEW restraining/Training device, a HALTI tm. Great little halter for controlling the out-of-control puppy. As his weight increased, it became more and more difficult to throttle his pulling during our " walks", which were more like tugging matches. I would come home sore and annoyed. This little unit makes walking your pooch effortless, like a bear at the circus or a horse on the farm. He can be led around quited easily by the snout! Once he adjusted to it, most of the sad face and struggling were just for show - no pain with this contraption - he walks along quite readily. Two finger contol. Sweet.

Prowling Buster Makes the Blog. This cat is a real wild thing. He showed up in our wood shed over a year ago. I eventually trapped him, and had him neutered. By the time he was to return from the vet, his owner, my neighbor from nearly a mile away, showed up to claim him. Although he was disappointed I had had him altered, as he wanted to breed him, don't laugh, "cuz he's 1/8th bob cat!!", he took "Emerald" (as was his name, it turned out) home. We were happy, b'cuz he is a big eater and was driving poor Tigger crazy. Low and behold, about a week later, who comes crawling through the space in the step? And barges right into the house to his 'spot' upstairs?? Buster, our pet name for him, as he "busted" right in. When he does amazing things, of course his pedigree of 1/8th bobcat must be mentioned!! He is a real user this cat. 4 can$ of gravy a day, or he cries out and claws us! He is doing his part on mouse patrol and for that we are grateful. But seriously, he is the most tree climbing, cat harrassing, dog loving, all black but for 7 white hairs on his chest, claw out, ear tufted, user cat u have ever seen! He picked us. Thanks a lot bussy. We love ya for it!
