OK, so, being the frisky girl I am, I like to be in the front and I like to take walks at my own speed. Fast. Mom and Dad are not feeling the same way, though. They keep trying out these new restraint mechanisms and I HATE them!! First, there was the face thing. That lasted a couple weeks. It was some thing called a "Halti" and it sucked. It was like a halter for my head, and any time I wanted to speed up, my head would be pulled slightly to the side, which I did not like. Mom and Dad liked that it made me walk slower, but I hated having that thing on my face. SO, I would rub along the ground with my face trying to get it off. I succeeded in getting it off a couple times, but not many. Boy, I hated that thing.

Mom realized I hated it, and decided that she and I would go to the store and try out a new restraint mechanism. I wasn't too happy about the new restraint mechanism, but PetSmart is AWESOME! So now, I have a pinch collar. Don't get me wrong, I hate that thing too, but my hate for it is much less than for the face thing. When mom puts it on me, I cower to let her know how much I hate the pinch collar. It doesn't hurt me, but it does let me know when I"m pulling too hard. I guess I"ll have to live with it. When mom would put the face thing on, I'd lie down on my back and look as pathetic as possible. It didn't work, though.

I guess I can't win all my battles.
