[nagdu] On the Go guide harness

[Hope Paulos]

Hello, Rox'e. Can you either email me off-list (or on) regardingthe price of 
the harness? I use a Fidelco leather harness, but I'm thinking about 
rain/mud season here in Maine (and snow and salt for that matter). I have 
practically destroyed my fidelco harness by going out in nasty weather and 
if these knylon harnesses clean easily they would be perfect.
Thanks,
Hope and Beignet, the doughnut dog!
