from paper dresses to parenting a teen

Posted on April 1, 2021April 1, 2021 By Angie Keiser

Remember how Ginger’s first pavement walk resulted in our floors looking like a crime scene?

Well, those paw pads are toughening up. And pony girl would do well as a sled dog.

So.Much.Pulling.

We used to complain about Moxie pulling. (She did/does.) But a 17 lb dog pulling is significantly different than a dog twice that size pulling. And I can’t imagine Ginger getting to 70 lbs and pulling. Unless we have a car stuck in the snow – at that point, it will feel helpful.

We were told a short leash and harness would help. Just like we were told that with Moxie.

It didn’t work for Moxie. In fact, the harness only made her pull harder. And it’s looking the same with Ginger.

But our magic tool with Moxie has been the Gentle Leader head collar. Total game changer. Walking Moxie while she’s wearing the Gentle Leader is actually a pleasant experience. Walking Moxie without the Gentle Leader is anything but.

I just ordered one for pony girl. Because family walks are a necessity for my sanity. Family sprints with one member being dragged down the road are not.

Fingers crossed.

walk happy:

Everyday Mayhem
