RE: MarshCappa quote: My little morkie Sam is on a 10' retractable leash.........
the worst leash imaginable....

On a trip to florida little did i know how Prophetic my statement was to my Father in Law when i said...
"Those retractable leashes are an accident waiting to happen"

later that week returning home to their place in Florida
i walked outside with my Mother in law and she's walking her little doggie
on one of those retractable leashes and this blonde girl goes walking by with her Labrador retreiver
which got the little dog all excited ....ok,
then for reasons Unknown Blondy does an about turn and comes walking right back again
just driving the little doggie mental....
and being way to close to her master... it stupidly runs around my mother in law's ankles twice making her stumble forward
and down there they have these drainage ditches and of course my mother in law steps right off the driveway right into it
and so i reached out to grab her but i was a half second to late.

she missed a brick ornamental wall thing with her head by an INCH and had she hit it...........
i truly believe she would have died right there and then from blunt trauma to the head.

i tell you this story because i believe they are a very bad IDEA to use them

Wow Craig, glad you're mom in law is ok. I'm not a fan of it but it does give her some more freedom to roam a little. She usually has it maxed out trying to pull away to run after Banjo. Sometimes I attach another 6 footer to give her even more running room. The scene usually consits of me in the middle with the 2 dogs running circles for 20minutes or until I'm not too dizzy!! That's not too fun if you're hungover either!!
