[NAGDU] Gentle Leader

[Tracy Carcione]

Dar, that's pretty smart.  I have 1 GL, and it's in my fanny pack.  But, if
I go out without that, I usually forget to stick the GL in my pocket.

Miss vacuum lovs to pick anything up she can get before it gets her.
I sure understand why you keep the leader on tight.
They sure are getting expensive out here at pet smart.
I have red ones black ones and I think another color but can't remember what
it is.
I almost have one in every coat I have.
Then I know I don't have to keep looking all of the time.
I sure feel better when I know others on the list are using the same thing I
am.
So far the public is ok with the leaders.
At least here in Montana.
