There is a lovely life lesson in those words.

I agree there is a sentimental factor...when we lost Max, we asked that one of his collars be included in his ashes and we used the collar he was wearing on his last day to adorn the box his ashes are in. I still remember agonizing over that collar and what color to have his name embroidered with!

It's pretty sturdy but we just keep wanting to get him a nice leather one - something new and no more reminders of his days in the slammer.<br /><br />He looks great in gem tones and I'd love to get him a royal blue/purple or red one but he so often gets mistaken for a girl when we're out and about with his red sweater and purple booties or purple scarf that I think we should do something more masculine. It is 2014, though. I don't think he cares what color he gets!My Dog Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950356334615818177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-76184079084252492482014-03-11T14:56:49.321-05:002014-03-11T14:56:49.321-05:00I still have Vinnie's "coming home" ...I still have Vinnie's "coming home" collar (also a pirate skull motif!), which he wore for the first year or so before it was replaced by a more high-functioning 'Deluxe Martingale' in a preppy stripe (to match his collection of outerwear)...which has since started to fray, too. I actually just ordered a replacement, and yes, much deliberation over collar choice! Of course I'll keep his original one forever, though :)KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208622140056463369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-66201546170156184732014-03-11T11:25:09.186-05:002014-03-11T11:25:09.186-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.maddeelouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07880377473388231590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-47177718346475385632014-03-11T11:25:04.854-05:002014-03-11T11:25:04.854-05:00My dogs always wore the same collar until Baxter. ...My dogs always wore the same collar until Baxter.

But with our rambunctious pittie, her collar gets really gross. We try to wash the collars once a week, particularly if they're muddy, but after a while they start to fray. We maintain their color schemes and replace them only when absolutely necessary. BUT I kept their "baby collars" in a box, because I'm sentimental like that.klghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14498502114059996525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-68244936108176308942014-03-11T09:35:08.794-05:002014-03-11T09:35:08.794-05:00Since neither of our dogs came with collars, we ha...Since neither of our dogs came with collars, we had to have one before we picked each of them up -- and we greatly over-estimated their neck diameters. So we ended up with two hilariously oversized collars. We made due with them for a bit by poking extra holes and trimming ends, but they really needed new ones. So we never really got a chance to be sentimental about their collars -- but I would totally be sentimental about yours!!Hannah@Eriesistibullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466534109188559910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-33111028327938238512014-03-11T07:50:04.526-05:002014-03-11T07:50:04.526-05:00Great post!

Before I brought her home, I purchased a collar and leash ensemble that was going make everyone in the neighborhood take notice there was a new fashion sheriff in town. The bad news was the collar didn't fit...Argh! I made it to the House of Target for a new collar before they closed that night, but not before I had been pulled over for running a red light. The officer was understanding (and fortunately a dog person) and let me go, but without the requested police escort to Target. It just seems fitting each year, she gets a new collar though now legally through the mail. :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02013317268432801895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-68401069089477692112014-03-11T07:09:22.036-05:002014-03-11T07:09:22.036-05:00I think you make such a great point about picking ...I think you make such a great point about picking out collars for our pups - it is such a huge decision for me also! Our pups have also had the same collars that we initially got them, however, the fabric has now torn and is looking quite ragged. I definitely need to get a new one, but then the stress of choosing comes up so each day, Amy wears her tattered collar. Like making the perfect mixed tape haha I love that.
