hehe I'm so happy I have an atypical Malamute... But I would never let him offleash if I wasn't certain we were in a -safe- area. Bad mommy sometimes even lets him off in unfenced areas!
We have a flexi "giant" -- 26 feet of all tape goodness. I'm so paranoid of cord flexis... I'm worried that it'll snap if Rien gives it one little tug.
