I was able to reconnect it using a pair of pliers, and they say it looks OK.
Crisis solved.  Though I do have a backup, if it's required.

Hi Tracy. I suggest calling training and asking for guidance on this as Jenine suggests.

A weird thing happened this morning.  When I grabbed Igloo's harness to go out and get a bagel for breakfast, I saw that one side of the harness handle had come detached.  The screw holding the handle to the D ring had unscrewed and the rog behind it was bent far enough that the screw wouldn't go back on.  I have no idea how it happened.  The harness was just hanging on the closet doorknob, and we hadn't had any drama at all on our walk yesterday.  

I was able to screw the handle back on well enough to hold for our outing, and, after breakfast I was able to bend the rod straight enough to screw it mostly back how it should be.  

Long since, the leather flaps that protect the handle connection came unscrewed.  I wonder if that's what allowed the connection to come undone?
There's no hardware store handy to find screws to fix the flaps. 

I wonder if I need to replace my harness, and what the process is to do that at TSE.  Anyone know?

 

I had a harness break once before, a long time ago.  It was a GDB harness, and a weld broke on the handle where the side attached to the handgrip.  It broke when I was on the way to the state convention, and I had to struggle with it all weekend.

Tracy
