Life with a dog
has really changed during the last 20 years.
In the 1990’s I didn’t pick up dog poop from a grassy area, I had never
met anyone who fed their dog anything other than kibble from a bag, and
everyone I knew would have died laughing to see a dog being pushed around in a
stroller or carried in someone’s purse.
Like everything else in the world, pet ownership has evolved – mostly
for the better.
One of my
favorite modern accessories to dog ownership is my leash. Back in the day a leash was basically a rope
or flat piece of thick fabric with a hook on one end and a loop on the
other. The length was decided in the pet
store when you made your purchase. Today
we have wonderful gadgets that allow us to adjust our dog’s leash as short or
long as we like during walks. What a
wonderful advancement in the world of pet supplies. Retractable leashes are wonderful things to
own.
But I have
something even better than that! I own a
Furbabies Retractable Leash that has a built in poop bag dispenser and LED flashlight. This thing is the Rolls Royce of dog
leashes! I don’t have to juggle a leash
and flashlight at night while I try to make it to the neighborhood poop bag
dispenser before my dog does its business.
This leash allows me to maintain a firm grip on the handle, while
locking the length of the leash by pressing a button with my thumb. All the while, there’s a steady flashlight on
top and a handy poop bag dispenser on the bottom ready to go when I need it.
I think my
favorite feature might be the fact that the flashlight and bag dispenser are
both easily removable. This way when I’m
walking during the daytime I don’t need to have the flashlight with me. And if I’m going somewhere I won’t be needing
bags, I can easily pop that off too.
Truly, the only
negative things that I can say about this leash aren’t negative at all. The lock button makes a clicking sound when
you use it. Unfortunately, it’s the same
sound that you use for clicker training a dog.
Fortunately, my dog isn’t clicker trained, so it’s not an issue for
me. I just wanted to mention it for
anyone considering purchasing this leash that may have a clicker trained dog. The other thing is that this leash is only for
dogs less than 50 lbs. Sorry to all you
large dog owners out there. Just the way
it is on this one.
The company that sells Furbabies Retractable Leash is amazing. Eric and his wife make this wonderful product
available to all of us pet lovers because they have their own pets that they
love, too. They work very hard to come
up with just the right pet items for both them and us. And, if you visit the product page at Amazon for
Furbabies Retractable Leash, then click on the seller “Spiegelson, LLC”, you
can send a message to Eric and tell him that you found out about Furbabies
Retractable Leash on SuchaSimpleLife.com and he will hook you up with some
freebies. Who doesn’t love that? And, while he’s at it, I’ll bet Eric will
make you smile. The company has a great
philosophy and a terrific sense of humor.
(Make sure you read the tag found inside the product. No spoilers, but it made me laugh.)
