iggy mum

I hope I've got this photo 'thing' under control. Here's the harness. Oh that's not too bad - a bit blurred I see what you mean. Did you get the seatbelt strap attachment thingy with the harness or did you get it separately, and if so, from where. PS Proper piccie of your Edward please

I loved this story, never heard it before. No wonder they call dogs "mans best friend". I just wish they were treated as such.

What a great day was had by all..... fantastic fun pic. Hope they survived the bellyful and hope you survive the rear end outcome!!! :p

Agree, a great idea!!!!

Great, what flavour? PS: Love your doggy.... just beautiful... I ordered the talc, seems to be the most popular, so I thought I'd just go with the flow YES!!!! My gorgeous iggy IS beeaaauuuuutiful...... She is such a snugglepot/cuddlepie My little princess Thanks so much for saying so.....

As a few people have said. DO NOT pay them any money. As a few other people have said, maybe a puppy pack with a "get well" card for the dog, and a "thankyou" for understanding card with a "dinner for two voucher" at a nice local restaurant for the neighbours, as said earlier "a good will gesture". Any more than that is too much, especially if you are thinking of selling up in the near future. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I just ordered mine! ;)

Thanks heaps! I'vr just ordered one. Easy Walk Harness And another one

I've just spent hours searching online pet stores/eBay/internet but can't seem to find any of front connecting harnesses advertised anywhere.... Where do you get them from????? Searched and can't find any mention of these either.....

When I relocated from Qld to Vic, the removalist brought down my box trailer in the truck with my furniture etc - no problems.

Where would I search for one of those???? ETA Are they adjustable to properly fit the iggy shape??

I've been reading this thread and thought I'd do a web search re the sporn harness. Ended up looking on eBay and I found two harness that say the same but look different. Could someone knowledgeable in these harnesses please have a look at the two links below and tell me what the difference is and which type is better. thanks http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Sporn-Small-Black-D...=item2a01e4e324 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-Sporn-Non-Pull-...=item53ddc03c1a

Photos and all the comments - priceless!! :D ;)

kelpiekaye, so sorry to hear about your GSD's result after the accident, hope you weren't too badly hurt...... the reason I'm asking about this is that my iggy has a harness and travels quite well with it (and also quite well without it on short trips to the shop ) but after a couple of hours travelling (secured in the back seat) somehow she seems to be able to wriggle out of the harness without me knowing about it. She still lays quietly on the back seat, generally, but I want her to be secure without the worry of escape. that's another reason I was checking what the best harness for the small iggy shape would be, something escape/wriggle out of proof maybe as you suggest a proper secured crate may be the best way to go for her, only problem is that sometimes I take both my cats with me and they are secured in the back seat in their carry boxes. do you think a crate secured by seatbelt on the front passenger seat would be safe?

Nothing like eager anticipation, is there

How about a cryptic clue.... for those of us that aren't in the know

Hilarious, but ain't it the truth... PS I hate kids too..... especially the ones that scream all day whilst playing

That would be wonderful, thanks so much. It's so hard for a novice to work out what's best

Agree with Mila's Mum. Just another thought, what about making work experience for school children available with pounds/RSPCA/Rescue organisations. It seems to me that this would give the kids a first hand experience in the problems faced by our pets and hopefully make them much more aware of pet ownership responsibility.

Thanks for that info, but still another question..... If I get a crate for transport, does it just sit on the seat with the dog in it unattached to the car, does it have restraints to attach to the seat/belt, or do you wrap the seatbelt around it? How do you make the crate sit firmly without moving around eg braking, going around corners etc. NOT that I drive fast and it's a problem , but just wondering??

Hi all, I'm fairly new here (and to doggie ownership - only 12 months or so) so imagine this question has been asked before so sorry if I'm duplicating a thread ......... I've been scanning a number of topics to try and find out what the difference is between travelling in the car with your dog in a crate (soft crate???) or attached via a harness. Could someone please explain how crate travel is accomplished - sort of got the harness thing understood. Which is the best/safest/most doggie comfortable way for your dog to travel in the car - thinking a two to three hour trip for example??? And, harnesses to properly fit iggies, what's the best fitting and/or the most cost effective one? Any help greatly appreciated. Ta muchly
