Also a couple knots will help with slippage. One trick I use that was taught to me by a longtime handler is to slip the leash loop over the thumb of your non-handling hand (in my case my right), lay it over your palm and grip it. You won't ever let go unless you fall down (that's a story for a different day) and your other hand is free to handle the dogs.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505915581545922891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-90536797969092125232014-11-13T09:43:12.517-06:002014-11-13T09:43:12.517-06:00I believe DC rats are cousins to your Chicago bree...I believe DC rats are cousins to your Chicago breed. They are huge here too, running in the streets like packs of dogs, and boy does my pup love them. the more I try to tell her they are yucky and gross, the more she seems to want to chase them. I just pray that she never actually catches one...

Every single early morning and early dusk walk we saw at least one skunk and Ms. Summer seems to mistake them for cats so that means she really wants to chase. How we avoided getting skunked this year is beyond me but thank goodness. Rats! Holy smokes, that's the prize!Newsboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13244129832973543322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-50356730014078402972014-11-13T08:41:25.423-06:002014-11-13T08:41:25.423-06:00Since I walk our dog at 5 am and about 8pm, it is ...Since I walk our dog at 5 am and about 8pm, it is dark in the fall and winter. I carry a small flashlight to look for land mines. I got them at Ross. They came in a pack of a dozen. Turn them from the back with your thumb and in worse case hold in your mouth to zero in on the target.
