Shoot me an e-mail and we'll talk about it. It's not that it wouldn't look good, it will probably look great, it's a matter of perfecting the formula. Normally we have folks send us in nylon martingales adjusted to the perfect size so we can get the size spot on, but have yet to make a successful martingale based on neck/head measurement alone. Granted the last attempt the guy measured his dog's neck incorrectly by 3"... fortunately he's a friend so we're gonna try again.

Ok will do. I have a spare 1" martingale that I could send you. We also recently ordered two Blocky Dogs collars that are martingales, so if this one is a standard collar thats fine as well. I'll shoot you an email soon, I have to get the measurement for the leash anyway.

And on that note, I need to go meet my friend and her dogs for lunch. Actually, the dogs we're meeting are Muggy and Lola, pictured in that pin up shot. Xdog considers them her moms, so I figured what more a perfect way to celebrate her birthday than with her favorite doggie friends (we already did a big walk this am before this interview and she's been napping this whole time).

Thanks a bunch! And I'll revisit this later today in case there are any more questions I missed.

Again, thanks! that was fun, though my fingers are tired!

I have a dog related tattoo, it's on my back in my avatar. It was a coverup for a stupid teenage tattoo.... it's a giant lotus flower with Karma's actual pawprint (I inked her paw and made her walk down a loooooong rolled out white paper) true to life size

hmmm, i'll look around and see if I have a pic and send it to you private ;) And my SO is as straighlaced, buttoned-up as can be so if he said yes to tats, then I think Aaron can loosen up a bit too JMHO, lol

Thanks so much for being a good sport Ana! I'm totally buying a calendar I support Pin Ups for Pit Bulls and Babes & Bullies every year.
