Sanka

The ground is my- newspaper.

Barked: Sat Feb 11, '12 4:58pm PST


	Bruno, I use a bear bell for Sanka. It has a "silencer" on it though that I usually keep on. It's a mesh fabric that wraps around the bell that keeps the super loud ringing soft. If I feel Sanka's being good enough to be let off leash in an area where I can completely lose sight of him and not hear to soft jingle well (usually when we're alongside a creek), I'll take the silencer off and just follow the jingling. Although, even with both dogs having jingling tags at home, I still manage to step on my 2 "big" dogs. I did find jingling tags useful when I watched a yorki though. That little dude was super fast and full of energy. Definitely would have had a mishap if he didn't have the tags on.

	D'artagnan doesn't where a bell in general, but we live in a small apartment so there aren't many places he can get into trouble (if he is in the bedroom/kitchen for more than a minute or two I know he is up to no good). When I get around to it though, I am making him a neon orange collar with bells for hiking. He likes to run through the woods and the second he stops he blends in. Bells will be VERY helpful for that.

	Well, my wifes guide is not a small dog by any means, but she has 3 tags on her collar which always enable my wife to know where she is. Very helpful at times.

	I have a client whose cat used to wear a bell and all I could think of was how miserable it must be for the cat to have that noise in her ear ALL day long.
