[nagdu] harness for car

[craig.heaps at comcast.net]

No, but it's okay.  I did some googling and found there's only one that survived standard crash tests.  It requires the new tie downs for child seats, which we don't have in our 1999 van.  But we're looking at replacement cars and when we get one, I'll probably buy that harness for a hundred dollars or so.  For now, Chase rides in the third seat of our Odyssey.

I didn't receive much in the way of grooming tools - mostly just a brush that Jenny hates.  We have a finer-toothed brush that I use to brush Jenny's fur and she loves it.  I give her ear massages when she gets a good long brushing, especially along her front... she doesn't like it, but she has flyaway fur there. LOL 

Daryl. 

p.s. Craig, did you ever hear back about your harness question?  I was checking the archives and didn't see any responses... I can email with more info for what my husband bought for Jenny when I get home tonight.

When I left GDB last year, they sent us home with a nice little kit.  It had a wash cloth, cotton balls, ear cleaning solution, a two sided brush, a rubber nubbed thing and a comb.  Also toot brush and tooth paste.  It went inside a fanny pack.  I use the rubber nubbed thing to go against the grain, then brush Chase with the grain.  I follow that with the comb.  Then I brush his teeth.  It takes about five minutes a day.  I also use the furminator once a week and clean his ears with the cotton balls and solution once a week.  
Furminator also sells a deshedding spray that I've been using lately.  It seems to help keep him from shedding.  I spray it on just before the brushing with the grain.  It's nasty to breathe, but it cuts down on any doggy odor.    Afterward, his fur feels a little like using conditioner on my own hair.  
  
Occasionally, I have to use the wash cloth to wipe the eye noogies from his face. 
  
Craig and Chase

BS"D 

Rebecca, 

I've a Labrador. We didn't get any grooming tools when we received our dogs since many owners before us haven't used them and bought other grooming tools instead. We got a brush in a silicone material with very short prickles both it isn't for grooming but for relaxing. I've only used it one time since I Think it's useless and Hera doesn't relax at all, she plays the hiding game instead. Anyhow, I've bought a steel comb which I also use to my cat. I also have a furminator which I use once a week and I comb her Daily even if she doesn't like it at all. *Evil mummy* 

Kind regards, 
Leye-Shprintse and Hera <3
