I chased after him, but considering he was a husky on the run...slim chances. So I ran home (a 30min walk across 4 VERY busy streets). He was waiting at the house with only a small cut on his paw pad. Ever since then, I am paranoid about checking his collar for a snug fit.A Husky Lifehttp://www.bitesandtales.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938120942169485220.post-17199290387420555362012-10-19T15:32:17.888-04:002012-10-19T15:32:17.888-04:00Martingales are something I suggest to people once...Martingales are something I suggest to people once in awhile, if they're talking about collars slipping.

The only good thing is that they found her, and don't always have to wonder what happened. :-(<br /><br />Even though me and Leah don't try to slip our collars, my peoples put martingales and or harnesses on us in new places, just in case.

It attaches from one collar to the other, and should something happen to one, the other will be a fail safe. <br /><br />As good as his recall is, there's no telling what one might encounter when out in the real world. <br /><br />Rest in peace dear Angel.

It would have been more awful if they didn't find Angel at all.<br /><br />I understand how you feel bout keeping your dogs safe. If I had my way, I would also keep my dogs safely by my side all day long.

If they slip one, they will still have our numbers (plus their microchips).
