YIKES!!!! I didn't know that about the storms!

ABANDON the DEGAUSSING STRIP IDEA for Buddy!!!!

Hey, I wonder if attaching it to one of those grounding strips would work You know... the ones that are supposed to keep your computer safe in storms. (So far ours has... thank goodness... because we get a LOT of power surges here.) Ah HA that's what it's called... Surge suppressor.

(please don't take me seriously... I don't think hooking up a dog to something plugged into the wall is a good idea... if it's not the intended purpose of the equipment.)

Two or three problems for a Dawg >>>

* Would have to shave the fur off an area of the wrist or leg
* Would have to connect the conductive wrist band to a good "ground" - with a wire
* Fido prolly would NOT like being "wired to the wall"
* Not so safe during a Lightning & Thunder storm!

When I worked for IBM, the folks who handled senstive components, cards, and boards
HAD to wear "Anti-Static Wrist Bands" when working at their benches ...
but had to STOP working and REMOVE the wrist bands whenever a storm was
reported near the Plant.

Favorite trick was if someone spotted the sun slip behind a cloud, they'd
holler "I think I heard THUNDER!" ...

Wrist Bands *flew off* and the Manager dashed to a window to "check"!
