Thanks for letting us know, that's good to know. Poor Nebo! My doggies have a toy like that.

While we are on the accident subject, I should share one. A few years ago, Rosco's collar got somehow attached to my dad's dog's (Joe a boxer) collar. They are both nice dogs, but they were stuck together, so they freaked out. They were attacking eachothers faces and we had a heck of a time getting in there to unattach them. It wound up being a huge bloody mess. Rosco was wearing a cloth collar with a metal buckle, Joe was wearing a pinch collar.

After that, I got Rosco a collar that has those plastic break away attachments. One time, he was trying to get over the fence, and it got stuck on the fence. It DID NOT break away like it was supposed to. I found Rosco hanging.

Jeez, as I am typing this, it just dawned on me that poor Rosco had the worst luck. I miss that poor guy.

Anyways, I do not put collars on my dogs now. I just make sure my backyard is secure. I put the collars on just for walks. Once we get to the park, I take Roxy's collar off (because I know she'll never run away) before she plays with Dusty.
